HAD FUN WITH THE PARSoN.
incidentally That Functionary
Worked or Little JOLLY on the
COWBOY.

COWBOY.
A clerical friend of mine told me q
capital story of Yale man who was
the stroke ore of his crew, and the
chief athlete ON the football field,
says writer in the New York Times.
He entered the ministry and spent
years in missionary labor in the far
west. Walking one day through a
frontier town, a cowboy stepped up
to him and said:
"Parson, you don't have enough
fun. Take a drinki'
The minister declined.
"Parson," said the cowboy, you'll
dire if you don't have some fun
And he knocked the parsons hat
off his head and hit him a whack on
the ear.
The old athletes spirit rose; the
science which he had learned in the
college gymnasium and forgotten for
a quarter of Il century was aroused,
n blow landed on the jaw of that
cowboy that sent him sprawling in
the street.
The parson walked over him as if
he had been a door rug, picked him
up and busted the side of the house
with him and then mopped up the
sidewalk with his form.
AS the ambulance was carrying the
cowboy off he raised his head feebly
and said:
"Parson, what did you fool me for +?
You are chock full of fun

TOWNE TAKES A TUMBLE.
BryRn's Former Running Mate Expe-
riences n Change OF Heart
and Pocket.

Charles A. Towne's reputation of
the silver issue is attracting almost
as much attention as the same action
taken by the Ohio democracy. And
naturally. He has been one of Mr..
Bryan's principal advisers, and would
have been Mr.. Bryan's yokemate in
last years campaign if the Kansas
City convention had been as logical
and courageous as the situation de-
manded. He would have met the full
requirements of the platform adopted
by that body far better than did Mr..
Stevenson, and was younger and
more aggressive man. So that when
this representative of the inner sane
tuary, as it were, turns his back upon
silver and declares that the issue is
dead the country gives attention.
And yet, as matter of fact, of what
real value is Mr.. Towne's opinion on
the money question?
A few years ago he was sent to con-
gress by Minnesota district. He was
what is called "a sprightly man
ready of speech and a good cam
paigner. But he had no reputation
as student of finance. Still the
financial question was the first to at
tract him in congress, and the result
was his leaving the republican party
and going over to the party of silver.
Once free of his old associations, he
took extreme ground in the new, and
Immediately became a leader. He
adopted the silver faith in its entire
ty, and gave reading of it almost
as attractive and rhetorical as that
of Mr.. Bryan himself. The silver
and wheat theory he made his own,
and he could see only a curse in gold.
A few months ago Mr.. Towne went
to New York to live. Business at
tracted him, and as lawyer, not as
a fnancier, he became associated
with business men. His lines fell in
pleasant places, and he is prospering.
His new environment has given him
new light, and he sees the financial
question according to that light. He
no longer holds to the silver and
wheat theory. He no longer detects
curse in gold. He no longer sees
the country rushing upon smash,
obeying the helm as set by the money
power in New York. According to
Mr.. Towne's present version, gold is
all right and the country is all right.
He is filing his own pockets, and he
is all right.
But shall we call this man finan-
cier? Are his views on the money
question of any particular value one
way or another? A few months in
congress changes him from sound
money to silver. A few months in
New York changes him from silver
back to sound money again. And yet
only last year the country was asked
to commit its fortunes, financial and
otherwise, to a political aggregation
of which this agile gentleman was
one of the most conspicuous and in.
fluential leaders! s!-Washington Star.

few law unconstitutional. A week
ago four young women, daughters in
each instance of prominent families,
engaged in charivari. All are

them within the provisions of the

This is not the only country that
has labor troubles. An elaborate re-
port just published by the statistical
bureau of France shows that during
1900 there were 002 strikes in that
country, in which 222,714 workers
took part, at loss of 3,76O,577 days
wages. The report also shows that
1,115,524 days wages were sacrificed
by 26,754 employees who wanted to
work, but were compelled by those
who organized the strikes to remain
idle. Finally, the report shows that
only 22 per cent. of all the strikes re-
suited in victory for the strikers.

There are dangers in being too
young. A female employe in Hacken-
sack, n. j., sued for wages. In court
she testified to her age, and she put
the figures so low that the case was
thrown out of court because as a self
confessed infant she had no right to
sue. Then her lawyer offered to prove
that she was over age, but he was
too late. A girl should be permitted
to have two ages-one when she her
self sues and one when she has a
suitor. The seven ages of man iusti-
fly two ages of woman.

TARIFF FIGHT TALK.
"Party Perfidy" German Again in the
Fore with II CudgeI for the
Republicans.

"The tariff question offers an invit-
ing field of operations for the democ-
racy," are words which are attributed
by democratic paper to ex-senator
German. This is the same German
who assisted in changing the Wilson
democratic tariff of 1894 in so many
places and in so many directions that
Wilson did not know it when the dem
ocratic senate, under the head of the
Maryland. boss, got through with it.
The house democrats resented Cor.
mans action, and there was a dead.
lock of several weeks on that ac.
count between the two chambers,
both controlled by the democrats.
A democratic president, Grover
Cleveland, said that Gormans trans
formation of the Wilson tariff meant
party perfidy and party dishonor.
The same president, although he had
been calling for tariff changes ever
since he entered office, refused to sign
the German version of the tariff, but
let it become a law through the eX-
piration of the time limit. Cleve-
ldlIt III d ltJltl, COHutllHtu lllp ndIlu-
full of democrats in the senate, under
the lead of German, who put the tar
if of 1894 in such shape that no dem
ocrat has ever yet been found who
is willing to call that a democratic
act. German replied to Cleveland's at
tack upon him in about the most saw
age speech which that trickster was
ever excited into making.
This man who helped to split the
democratic party on the tariff of 1894
is the man who says "the tariff ques-
ton offers an inviting field of opera
tions for the democracy at the pres
ent time" 4 democratic attack on
the tariff, it is hardly necessary to
say, would be welcomed by the repub-
licans. 1t is not likely that the re-
publicans will have the benefit of Cor
mans presence in the senate at an
early day, for his plottings to get
back to that body win probably be de-
feated. Still, democratic tariff cru
sade conducted in the German spirit
would do the republicans about as
much good as if the Maryland boss
were in congress himself to lead it,
The democrats, forced to drop "anti-
imperialism" and frightened into
abandoning silverism, are hunting for
some issue which they hope will keep
their followers together. The repub-
lican party would be exceedingly glad
to see the democrats bring the tariff
question to the front. - st. Louis

HOME MADE HONEY.
A Restaurant Man Captures Stray
Swarm of Bees.


Swarm of Bees.
Ralph Gushee, the lessee of the Park
Department restaurant overlooking the
Hudson at the upper end of Riverside
drive, tells a remarkable story of how
he obtained the honey which is one Of
the specials" on his daily menu.
1.-TWO weeks ago." said Mr.. Gushee to
Corporation Counsel Whalen, who was
the host of party of politicians at
Claremont, 81 noticed swarm of bees
under the tree down there overhanging
the drive just where the carriages
stand at the dinner hour. / offered $40
to anybody who would remove them
and nobody wanted to take the offer
until one of the policemen detailed to
guard Grants tomb heard of it. He
said he knew all about bees and told
him to go ahead. He went down in the
basement and got an empty sugar bar
rel. Then he demanded a sheet and bor-
rowed a pair of buckskin gloves from
a gardener. He spread the sheet on the
drive under the tree and set the barrel,
from which he had removed couple
of slaves, on its side. Then he climbed
the tree and gently shooed the bees
down to the sheet, whence he gathered
them up into the barrel. This was
covered with the same sort of mos
quito netting with which he had en-
veloped his own head and taken back
of the hotel. There must have been
three or four quarts of bees, and they,
settled into their new home as natural-'
ly as though they had come to River
side Park for that purpose. They be-
gan to hive at once, and for the last
two weeks I've been getting four or
five pounds Of honey right along and
the bees are still at home and at work"
Mr.. Whalen remarked laughingly
that as the bees were evidently taking
sweetness from the blossoms in the
park it would be in order for the city to
increase Mr.. Gushee's rent. 1t is sup
posed that the bees came across the
Hudson River from New Jersey.

Our of Woman.s Sphere.

Woman's advent in the learned pro-
fessions is a comparatively modern
development in the United States.
Sixty years ago no woman in this
country, SO far as known, had ever
been regularly accredited as an au-
thorized practitioner in law, medicine
or theology. Indeed, it seemed then
far more likely that women would be
allowed to preach than vote. When
Antoinette L. Brown impaired to her
classmate, Lucy Stone, at Oberlin, her
intention to become an ordained min
lister, Lucy. who already aspired to be-
come a voter, exclaimed, You can
never do it," Yet Antoinette was or
dained and ministered to an orthodox
congregation some fifty years ago,
while Lucy, after half century of
heroic effort, died a disfranchised citi-
zen. OF the three learned professions.
medicine has proved the most general
ly available for women. There are
now many thousand women physicians
of every school practicing medicine
successfully in America.

"Ye gods of heaven!" calculated
Koran. "how can this thing be! Who

mo, no; you dare not rob your
king"
Peace, poor fool! Hesitate another
minute, and will smite you to the

The trembling monarch cast one look
into the face of the man before him,
and then shrank back against the
wall. He was as mere child, and for
the time, while unable to do evil, he
seemed an object of pity.

spare my life?"

swelling of the broad bosom, and the
nervous working of the hands, told too
plainly that the edict must be obeyed
