One ON the No IN

The vagaries Of the moon have been
so often described in verse and love
story that it seems a shame to make
that poor, overwOrked bright regent
Of the heavens" stand for an ordinary
prosaic tale. But the Detroiter who
went hunting in the north woods
thought it pretty fair joke, even
though it was at the expense Of the
long-sufrering moon.

Of those rare old guides who make a

tall timber one night and were yainly
trying to find their way out to the
clearing. The guide was as much at
sea as anybody.
"Where is the moon?" asked one of
the party. Where does it rise in this
locaiity?'

Cashier,s Poor Judgment.

A business man who had eaten a
meal at restaurant where he fire.
quently took his midday luncheon
walked up to the cashier and said
Il find 1 haven't a cent Of change
about me to-day. If you will kindly
let me owe for this until I come around
again, which viii certainly be in a day
or two, / will square up then"
The cashier was not a good Judge Of
human nature, or was under the in
fuence Of a momentary irritation, for
he replied:
I'VE don't run any accounts at this
shop, If you haven't anything to pay
with you can leave something with us
as security"
II didn't say hadn't any money"
the customer rejoined 81 said l had
no change, Please take the amount Of
my check out Of this"
And he took a ffty.dollar bill out OF
his pOcketbook and handed it to the as
tonished cashier.
1T will be better to pay it now, per-
haps," he added, than to leave some
thing as security, for you will not be
likely to see me here again.
Then picking up his change, which
comprised about all the money the
cashier could find in the establishment,
he bowed and walked out-Youth's

PLAN VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Woman Suffragists In National Convention
Arrange for an Organizer in Each State
To Petition Legislature.

Minneapolis, Mimi. June 4.-Mon-
day, the fourth day of the conven-
ton of the National Suffrage associa-
ton, was busy one and great deal
was accomplished. Five thousand dol
lars was pledged by the delegates and
visitors during the afternoon session
for the suffrage work next year.
. A plan of campaign for the coming
year was adopted after long dis
cussion. It's main features are as fol-
lows: Each state to keep an organ
izer in the field at its own expense as
far as possible: junior suffrage clubs
to be formed. especially among wom-
en- wage-earners; county organiZa-
ton; at least one sermon a year by
clergymen; women's day at fairs,
Chautauquas and the like: urging
upon women in states with partial
suffrage to exercise their rights; pro-
tests by women taxpayers; the sys-
tematic distribution of literature; fire.
quent publications in the press; petit
tions to state legislatures to raise the
age of consent and to make mother
co-guardian of children with father,
and to appoint police matrons; petit
tions to all kinds of national and
state conventions and to congress for
a sixteenth amendment.

USED A RATCHET.
Negro Chops an Old Woman's Head in
Broad Daylight In Kansas City and
Ransacks Her House.

Kansas City, Mo-, June Awhile
sitting beside the cradle of baby in
her modest home about noon yester-
day, Mrs. Mary Schiller was attacked
by negro, who rained blows upon
her head with Ratchet. Her skull
was fractured in two places, and she
now lies at st. Joseph's hospital in a
dying condition. The negro appeared
at the open door, and as he strobe
swiftly in, he picked up a Ratchet
that hung On the outer wall. He
asked for money, and as the trem-
bling old woman said she had none to
give he raised the Ratchet and struck
her three times. Then, as she lay
weltering in her blood. he ransacked
the house, tore up mattresses from
the beds, opened drawers and thor
oughly searched the place from end
to end. The police have formed no
definite conclusion and are chagrined
that such a crime could be commit
ted in broad daylight, and the brutal
thug should escape their attempts to
get him. Scores of men searched for
the man yesterday, and it is probable
he would have been dealt with sum-
marily had he been caught, so bitter
was the feeling.

that the appropriation will not be
sufficient to meet the requirements
of the law under the established prac-
tice.

issued for increases, rerating and &C

of the past year. There are 315 banks

was the address of James II. Eckels,
President Cleveland, in University

ers, professors and state university
students. Mr.. Eckels considered the
question of the monetary standard

a greater interest in politics and to
study political questions carefully. In
regard to recent acquisitions of ter

that combinations of capital are a
menace to the American people, but
rather benefit, and he hopes to see
