health authorities, in fact every
body interested in checking the
spread of smallpox at the Spauld-

who are the class of men most ef-

sometimes cripples the logging

sent and discuss the ways and
means of stamping out or checking
the smallpox. 1t has been sug-

there has been smallpox during the
past two years should be burned.
This matter will be discussed along

THERE is no exaggeration about
the uncertainty of woman's aim,
whether it be with stone or a gun.
Two sisters living near York, Pa,
went out to drive some chicken
thieves away the other night, one
OF the women carrying a revolver.
They saw the marauders going
over the back fence and the woman
with the gun fired. She missed
both chichen thief and fence and
hit her sister between the shoulder
blades, causing her death. There
is no more deadly combination
than a nervous woman and self
cooking revolver.

The president OF the Chicago Press
Club went to New York for the pur-
pose OF inducing Mark Twain to come
there to deliver lecture for the benefit
OF the c. p. c. Mr.. Clemens was up in
the mountains OF New York when the
Chicago man arrived. The latter pa
tiently awaited the return OF the humor-
ist and succeeded in meeting Mr..
Clemens in his study at rather late
hour. According to the Chicagoan.
Mr.. Clemens was not favorably inclin-
ed Indeed, he was not in one OF his
happy moods. :.
II can't go to Chicago; / won't go"
he said in an underscored voice. The
Chicago man intimated that the Press
Club would be willing to pay any sum
which Mr.. Clements saw fit to name.
That has nothing to do with it, Mr..
Clemens replied. Il wouldn't go to
Chicago for $4,000, nor anywhere else.
Now. that settles it. | am going to
have some rest"
At that, the voice OF young person,
the Chicago man says it was a girls
voice. was heard from the top OF a
stairway. Don't get excited" said the
voice.
Mr. Clemens turned his face in the
direction OF the stairway and scowled.
You go to bed he Numbered. Then
turning to the Chicagoan he said in a
voice almost musical: Perhaps may
come some other time-not now"
Then he turned his face in the drec-
tion of the stairway again and listened.
There was subdued giggle at the top.
And the face OF the grizzled humorist
became radiant.

Thus in New York State, for in
stance, woman has larger control OF
her real estate than her husband has OF
his. She, II she likes, may make out a
will whereby she cuts him off or ignores
him entirely, whereas he cannot sell,
mortgage, will, or ALLEVIATE any OF his
real property without her consent in
writing, and in some instances under
seal He must reserve to her what is
commonly known as her dover right or
life interest in one-third OF all his
real estate possessed or acquired by
him during their married life. 1t is
thus impossible for him to ALLEVIATE his
real property without his wife joining
in the deed to bar her dover Thus
does the law protect the woman in the
enjoyment OF her property rights.

Reports as to quiet trade in iron and
steel come from the East, where the de-
mand for pig iron is of hand-to-

note considerable activity in manufac-
turing lines, the Eastern shoe shipments
have again exceeded the 100000 case
mark, and the total for the season is
now nearly $4,000 cases ahead OF last
year.
Such unanimity as to good crop re-
ports has rarely been seen at this per-
iod OF the year. Much was made in
speculative grain circles OF dry weather

He was one OF these smooth-faced
young men who chew gum because it's
ladyike and smoke cigarettes because
it's manly. He couldn't have stood un-
der the mistletoe in a shirtwaist for FIVE
minutes with tempting something with
deep bass voice and whiskers to me-
ander that way.
Hair cut?" asked the barber, as he
threw his head back on the rest.
Nav, course not" Indignantly re-
piled the customer. Cant you see l
want a shaver"
The barber heaved a weary sigh as
he lathered the face, which looked like
an advertisement for somebody's com
plexion balm Then he picked up a
neck razor, whipped it over the strop
once and scraped the lather off with the
back OF the instrument.
BY Jove, shave makes man
feel better" calculated the smooth-aced
one, rubbing his hand gently over his
skin.
That's the fourth one O. them things
to-day" growled the barber.

Coogan's Hurry.

James J. Coogan, dc facto president
OF the borough OF Manhattan, recently
applied to a Harlem horse dealer to
purchase trotter. The dealer brought
out a handsome bay horse.
"I'll guarantee that animal to go in
three minutes easy said the dealer.
Coogan understood the man to mean
that the horse could go mile in three
minutes and drove the animal up to the
Speedway to try him.
II found he was a slow plug and could
not trot." said the friend OF Croker in
telling the story. Il drove back to the
stable
Here, you,' l said to the dealer,
you told me this horse could go in
three minutesl 1t took him four by
the watch
well, you must have been in -
OF hurry If you couldn't wait a minute,
the dealer replied"
Coogan did not buy the horse.
