pointed out in recent letter to a
daily contemporary on an entirely diff
ferent subject that womens incomes
are generally controlled by the more
generous" sex. Women's allowances
are more often than not cut down to
the slenderest proportions; and it is
astonishing what they are expected to
do with their money.
Men, on the other hand, control their
own purses; they have no account to
give Of the way they spend, and If
they kept an account of the money
they SO generously" give way. they
would find that they spend sums which
they would account appalling were
they on the debit side OF wives and
sisters. 1t is a favorite formula Of man
that woman is reckless and eXtrava-
CANT; but If one comes to go into de-
tails, instead of looking at totals, it
will generally be found that the tables
can be easily turned, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. In nine cases out OF
ten. nay, in ninety-nine cases out OF a
hundred could the truth be known,
man tips, and tips generously to save
himself trouble, and in order to keep
UP appearances. A woman, as rule.
has little margin from which to give
extras, but when she does, she is not
actuated by the same motives. In mon
ey matters man is rarely just to
woman, and it is for this reason, per-
haps, that she has shown symptoms
of a revolt.

Of an experience had with friend
some time ago while in tho country.
He was ploughing over behind a small
clump OF hills, and they were we'll
wooded almost down to the fence line.
It Is section which is noted for max
ing wildcat whisky, and this fact threw
me of the track, as will appear here
after. I was approaching my friend
from the hillside. I was riding. Sud-
denly thought he glanced at me, and
at the time he rushed around hurriedly
to the singletree, unlocked the trace
chains, threw them across the horses
back, and the animal struck out on a
dead run down the turning row which
spit the ravine. My friend followed,
and 1t was race for who laid the rail,
as they say in the country / could see
through 1t all in a minute My friend
had been making moonshine whisky,
and he thought was United States
marshal. I split my sides laughing
over the thought of the thing, and
then struck out down the ravine after
him. Travelled some distance before
catching sight of my friend and his
horse. Finally found them close to
"a branch, and my friend. was STOPPING
down occasionally, picking up some
thing and smearing it on his hands,
face and neck. Hello, Bill 1 said,

knocked down by these heavier mem
sbers Of the bee family. It is mean
sting to handle, too, and does not yield
SO quickly to treatment. The hornet
and the yellow jacket sting on the

quickly, but thoroughly, and they gen

they would have no cause to feel

him. He is the prince Of stingers. You
may not forget him SO quickly when
he stings you. He leaves a sort of

anything but pleasant, and it is taste
you will remember even after the years
have gone by. The wasp is lingering
sort OF fellow. He lovingly and ca
ressingly stings, perches for while
on ones neck, may say, and then
huns about his business. But really,
while the wasp fingers longer than
other insects while stinging, he also
shows more anger, and is probably the
most spiteful member in the list of
singing insects"

Clemons was the leading spirit in the

Scott are implicated. At that time
Stafford had warrant issued for CLem-

capture has never been effected.
On arriving at White Earth, it was
found that Clemons was on the Missouri
river, thirty miles south OF that place
near the old rerdezvous of Sutfic g. Mel
