mayor Robertson does not believe in
raihes - not even turkey raffies. The
mayor is right. The turkey rattle is
a delusion and a snare. A man will
buy $4.7O worth of ten-cent paddles
at a Thanksgiving rattle in a saloon
and will spend 1920 for incidental
arinEs. When he finally wins a 60
cent fowl, he will have to buy drink
all around, which will cost him $3.50
additional. At the wipd-up the turkey
Will stand him s14.7O and he will be
too drunk to carry it home. The tur-
key rattle must go.

Her First Offo nse.

A girl In Indiana played postoffice
at party the other night and yelled
and shrieked and howled and ran be-
hind the door and scratched the oung
mans face in seven places. upset a
lamp, kicked over the piano stool,
and when the young man finally kiss
ed her on the tip Of her ear she faint
ed dead away, and coming to, she said
she could never look anybody in the

modest, gentle, sobbing creature home
and the next day she ran away with
a married lightning rod peddler who
had hare-lip and ten children.-El-

Words Of Praise.

A few days ago we had occasion
to visit the Heller school, and found
the teacher, Miss Ida Mcdonald, busy
with her little flock of boys and girls.
And as we witnessed her work with
chart and blackboard, spoilers and
readers, ETC.. as the pupils went to and
fro and performed in the classes. it
reminded us Of olden times. We have
not been In school for many a day
where such common-sense methods
prevail and happy progress manifest

NEW YORK, June eff rest is what
the stock market requires before obtain
ing a fresh start, il is certainly having a
long period of that sometimes necessary
experience. Fully a year has elapsed
since a series of untoward events begin
ming with the Northern Pacific contest
and ending with the death of President
Mckinley, effectually stopped the wild up
ward movement which began In the spring
OF 1901. Looking backward, it is remark
able how little injury these misfortunes
have done; in fact. they may have proved
blessings in disguise, for it is certain that
they prevented speculative excuses,
which, if permitted, would soon have si1n-
paired our present prosperity. The loss
of nearly COO 900, 90 bu of corn made prac-
tically no impression upon railroad earn
ings; while Czolgcszs dastardly bullet
simply shocked credit in a manner that
served TO demonstrate it's soundness.
These troubles brought speculation to a
timely halt: and, once the momentum
was stopped and reason regained its
sway. the dangers of excess became self
market to the care of the big men who
really controlled the situation, and who
were thus obliged to carp their stocks
until more -propitiOuS times for marke ting.
How well they have proved their ability
to sustain the market Is shown by the
following comparison OF active stocks,
giving present prices, those of a year ago
and the highest in 1901 or 1902. 1t will
be noted that railroad shares are general
ly higher than a year ago, though lower

BIG LEGAL BATTLE
OVER INCH OF LAND
Purchaser Asserts Land Lacks That
Amount and Protraeted Litiea-
ton Begins.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 6.-Long
and costly litigation is under way IN
the local courts over one inch OF
ground.
Moses Fl. Lichten bought the prop
erty at the northeast corner OF Elghth
and Arch streets at auction in March,
1901. He made an agreement with the
owner who was represented by the
Fidelity Insurance and Safe Deposit
company, to pay $27S,O00. 1t was stip-
ulated in the agreement that the prop
erty was 80 feet l inch wide.
LateN Lichten refused to settle, al
Ieging that the property had ben mis-
represented. He said it was only thir-
ty-nine feet in width. The company
refused to refund his earnest money
of $4,000, and Lichten has sued for the
remainder of the purchase money.
The company obtained Judgment for
the full amount, but after reviewing
the case Judge Wilson decided to
grant new trial.
From all indications the case may
drag along through the courts for
years, as each. side is determined to
win the issue.
