senator Bates New Orchids.

Senator Bate Of Tennessee, though
one of the oldest and most venerable
members of the senate, does not escape
the joke hunter, and good joke is told
on him by habitues of the Ebbitt
House, where the senator lives when
in Washington.
Several young ladies were being en-
tertained in Washington by Mrs. Bate,
and the senator, desiring to show them
all polite attentions, appeared before
them one morning with his hands full
of flowers. 1t was a common variety
of wild flower which grows prOfuSely
around Washington, and somewhat re-
sembles the ordinary red clover; but
the senator evidently considered that
he had made a rare find, for he pre-
sented the nosegay with all the gal
lantry his southern birth and training
could summon, remarking at the same
time:
II think these are the most beauti-
full orchards [ ever saw"
TheI confusion of ideas was almost
too much for the young ladies who
with difficulty accepted the gift in
the same spirit in which it was Of
fered.-Chicago Post.

Ways of the World.

ut is not generally known that any
unprotected woman who, through
some unforeseen accident such as
might easily occur in travelling or
missing a train, should find herself
alone in New York at night would be
placed in serious predicament," said
matron.
1T is a strange but actual fact that
she would not be admitted to any ho-
TEL although obviously a gentlewoman
and perfectly able to pay her way.
That masculine stranger should be
able without any trouble to find COM
Portable accommodation anywhere,
and respectable woman be refused
shelter seems almost incredible, but
until the much-talk Woman'S hO-
tel becomes an actual fact it is liter
ally true that a woman who might be
obliged to stay unexpectedly over night
in New York would have no place to
lay her head. If she were i'll she
might be taken to the hospital, and
doubtless there are charitable organi-
cations that would give her shelter,
but to acquire the right to board and
lodging in an ordinary way would be
impossible. Chicago Journal.

Couldn't Go Back.

A bashful young man of a neigh
boring town got married and few
days afterwards he delivered himself
to asympathizing friend: "You know
how bashful am" he murmured.
THE girls just worried the life out
of me. When I stood up to get
married they all giggled, and the
minister asked me if I'd take this
woman to be my welded wife.

he pronounced us man and wife and

that night the old man SEE he, Jim,

stairs. I was so skeered that when
I tried to stand my legs got tangled
up and I fell over the dog and got
bit in three places. I waited until
everybody had gone to bed and

A Be1ligerent Owl.

An English newspaper tells this
story: "Some months ago an owl be-
haved in an aggressive manner to
members of the golf club at Ethan
who passed along footpath through
a clump of eims in the golf park. The
first person attacked was cut over the
eve and as the attacks were made aft
err dark and the bird was not seen it
was supposed that mischievous boys
trepassing in the park and throwing
stones were the aggressOrs and
watch was consequently kept. Another
person was, however, attacked who
saw the bird and on whose hat feath-
ers and marks of the birds talons or
beak were found. The owl had nest
of young in a tree near the path. -

Eleven Pairs of TWINS.

There is no other man in the
country, it is said, who enjoys the
distinction that James Weir of
Boone, Ia., possesses. He is the
father of eleven pairs of twins,
twenty-five children. 1t is said
that the mother was partial to girls
while the father preferred boys.
Nature satisfied them both, for at
each birth came a boy and a girl.
Mrs Wier's two oldest daughters
are married to twin brothers. With
in twelve hours of each other each
of the daughters gave birth to
twins, a boy and girl. Mr.. Wiers
offspring enjoys the best of health.

MEET TO FIX

OUTLOOK NOT VERY BRIGHT

indianapolis, Ind Jan 30-The
joint conference of operators and
miners was organized today. The
presidents of the state bodies con
cerned in the agreement of the
future named their committee men
and adjournment was then taken
until tomorrow, when the real
matter at issue will be taken up.
The conference will probably last
ten days. Illinois, Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Iowa are repre-
sented on the scale committee.
Conflicting rumors are ahoat con-
cerning the demands to be made
by the miners, one report having
1t that the men intend to stand
out for an advance of 10 per
cent all along the line. On the
other hand it is stated that
the operators are considering
a reduction amounting to the
same figures on the ground that
the past year has been uuprofta Bile
and the outlook for the coming
year is no brighter. While it is
thus true that both sides enter the
conference with views widely at
varience, conservative mem bers of
the order are of the opinion that
the prospects were never brighter
