What action will be taken by the con-
ference toward abolition of bounties it
is. of course. impossible to predict. Man
ufacturers in various countries have
been organizing for consideration of the
subject and for the exertion of their in
fluence upon the conference. So far as
is known, they are all willing to have
the bounties abolished, but they insist,
as an Indispensable condition. that such
abolition shall be universal. All coun-
tries must abolish all bounties. both d.
rect and indirect. This demand seems
reasonable. since it is evident that it
would be a hardship for one country to
be without bOunties while it's neighbors
refined them. 1t is supposed that
France, because of her Budget deficit,
will be more ready to make clean
sweep of bounties than she was in 1898.
Russia, however. seems to be as insist
ent as ever upon her right to make and
to maintain her own fiscal system with
out regard to the wishes or action of her
neighbours. and to hold that system as
something not even to be discussed by
outsiders. 1t may be that the confer
ence will fail because of Russia's con-
duct.

GOOD TIMES OF OLD.

The Elaborateness of Modern Func-
 tions Spells the Fun, Thinks One Mid
 de Aged Man.
 Did you ever think how complicated good times are nowadays?"a asked one middle-aged man of another. "Re- member what good times we used to have without any previous spread or ceremony? Well, those were days worth living in. When I watch my children trying to enjoy themselves it positively makes me tired. Everything is so studied, so elaborate, so mechani- cal. Take my daughter, Grace, for in- stance. She receives an invitation to an informal whist party What does she do? Does she act pleased and dance around as her mother would have done twenty-five years ago? No, indeed. Oh bother. What shall wear? If I go I've simply got to get a new gown Is wat she says, and for the next week she is breaking her neck to get the rig redy. The affair comes off and she comes ome and half the time says she was bored to death. The fault isn't with her, for the next day a gang of her friends come in and by scraps of 
 know they were all bored She is about the average type of girl, and no use talking, she isn't having the fun her mother had. If she is invited to real ly formal function it is enough to turn the whole house upside down. She doesn't get any real pleasure out of it at all, aside from the excitement, eith- CT. It's the same with my son. John. But won't go into details about John; only, when he even takes a girl to the theater his pocketbook looks as if an elephant had stepped on 1t afterward. There's violets and carriages and dozen other fool things while if it's anything more pretentious than the theater, we'll, my check book suffers. Don't care about the money If the boy had really good time, but he doesn't. It's all right to talk about this being the age of the young person, but it's not. We used to get up simple, inn promptu little affairs, invite congeni- al crowd and no tamfoolery about it. Even picnic now is state banquet in companion with the good old larks we used to have. These poor, blase, mod ern youngsters may be pushing us old fellows to the wall a bit with their pre- cocious cleverness, but. oh, my, they are missing lot just the same. Say | do you remember that little dance ] at" l
 But at this point in the conversation the middle-aged man struck relninis- l cent mood so any more ideas which he | happened to possess on the modern | good time were left unsaid. But there l is lot in what he did say, now isn't | there Hartford Times.

THE BOARD OF FINANCE.

A Bill from Prosecuting Agent Niles
 Held for Explanation.
 The board of finance last night held a shorter session than usual and signed batch of bills. A bill from Prosecut- ing Agent Niles for s12o for fees in li- quor seizure cases was tabled and MT. Niles will be requested to offer some ex- plantations before the bill is approved. The bill is for seizures in eleven cases and there is nothing accompanying it to show that there were convictions in any of the cases.
 Some time ago one of MT. Niles bills for fees in seizure cases was held up and thus it was found that it included fees for services of a constable. There was at that time feeling in the board of finance that the services should have been performed by the regular police of the city instead of paying constable.
 The bill rendered last night did not show by what officers the services were performed and this is one of the questions that MT. Niles will be called upon to explain.
 The bill of the clerk of the city court for fees amounting to $40 in the eleven seizure cases was approved last night.

man looks with complacency on his neighbors as they bring visitors daily to view his cottage, and he is happy in the thought that it's beauty has melted them to admiration and envy But when he reads this he will discover that what has brought the hosts of stran- gers to gaze on his cottage is not the cottage. It is the beautiful golden name that blazes over his porch. The man does not know Spanish, but he knows when a word sounds nice, and the Spanish word "vacuna" struck him as sounding just nice enough for a nice cottage like his. Unhappily, Iva cuna" is not so nice word in meaning as in sound. In plain, rude English it means "cowpox. ."-Lewiston Journal.

MEMORY FOOD.
A Case where Memory wa' Streng tn ,
 ened by Grape-Nuts.

Food that will actually help the mem ory as well as agree perfectly with a delicate stomach is worth knowing of.
 A good wife out in Alta, Ia., who did not know which way to turn to get food that would agree with her husband who was left ill a weakened condition after a serious illness and could scarcely retain any food in his stomach, was one day induced to try him on Grape Nuts, the famous ready cooked breakfast food, and from the first he began to improve rapidly. In three months, he had gained 30 pounds.
 She says that his stomach has re- covered sb completely that he can now eat any kind of food.
 She mentions the boy of an intimate acquaintance, who was so delicate and thin that his appearance was pitiable and he had no appetite for any ordinary food. He was put on Grape- Nuts and liked the crispness and swedish taste of the new food and took to 1t, His i'm provement began at once and he is now a healthy. plump boy.
 "I know that Grape-Nuts will do mora for weak stomachs than any medicine. The claim that it will build up and strengthen the brain has been proven to my certain knowledge. Sister, who writes for the press, and is compelled to memorize a great deal, has been using Grape Nuts and says she is surprised at the result There is a marked improve ment in her memory and the brain works more perfectly and with better results.

FOR THE SAKE OF DISCIPLINE.

1 Why the Station Agent was Dis charged-He was Playing Poker with I the Superintendent.
 Tn my younger days" said the rail-
 voice, T got job as station agent at l the most lonesome junct ion I ever ran self, and outside of the train hands and | a stray cowboy there was no one to
 talk to- I was getting mighty tired of the job when a stranger stopped off one ] night to take the narrow gauge. He
 had three hours to wait, and as there
 was nothing doing with me made bold
 to ask if he didn't want little game of poker.
 CT might take a hand for small stakes he replied after looking me over pretty carefully; and I got out an old pack of cards and at it we went, I never was decent hand at the game, and at that time hardly knew the value tI tfc Cctiuc- Udu uIlly dDOul eighty cents in cash, and so you may believe me that did not sit down in spirit of avarice. We played a five cent ante and ten-cent limit game for awhile, and I had the best of luck. I was about two dollars ahead when the stranger asked to raise the ante to ff- ty cents and the limit to one dollar I didn't object, and my luck still fol- lowed me. I didn't have to do any bluffing. The poorest hands got held two pairs, while he was in luck to get d pair of jacks. Before three hours were up was thirty dollars ahead of him. and when the train whistled and l called his attention to 1t he replied:
 Never mind the train. I'm going to sit here till my luck changes
 After had seen the train off and re- ported her we went at it again. This time it was one dollar ante and no limit to the game. The stranger had a big wad with him and could have raised me out, but he played fair. It was more than I would have done with luck dead against me. When 1t came six o'clock in the morning and the express was due was one hundred and fifty dollars ahead of the game. He didn't do any kicking, but went off good natured, though I was soon to hear from him again. That afternoon I got bounce through the division superintendent,
 For playing poker
