Where English Club. Dlner.

A point which strikes American Wis
itors to London about our English clubs
is the social aspect of them and the al
most complete absence Of the business
side. At the Manhattan or the Knick-
erbocker, on the other hand, the bust
ness side prevails. The majority Of
members do not drop in merely to read
the papers. hear the latest story and
play billiards. al over Lere. They go
in most cases to meet a man about "a
deal" TO talk over the business Of the
day and discuss the business Of the
morrow or 10 read up the finance Of the
papers. The result is that when an
American becomes a member Of an
English clio he hardly ever uses it be-
cause its ways do not appeal to him.
He would say that there was nothing
going on.-LondOn Taller.

a bit Of carelessness some one else was
responsible for, and the third was
meeting Minnie Merely. the old mans
daughter, for the first time as she re-
turned from a school in the east Each
incident was but a tribe at the time,
but each was TO have a bearing on his
future.
Richards, who was a single man Of
thirty. arrogant and overbearing by
nature. demanded servility from all his
s~ubordinates. He elected to look upon
young Bliss In that light, and the few
hot words that passed between them
made him thirst for revenge. He had
hoped In bis own mind for two or three
years past to find favor In Minnie
Morely's eyes and become the bank
er's son-in.law. Queerly enough. he
bad made an enemy Of the fool by
roughly bouncing him OF the bank
steps on two or three occasions.
Two weeks after the day OF Incidents
young Bliss had to call at the Merely
residence on a matter OF business and
was introduced to the daughter. Dur
ing the next four weeks be met her
several times. and at length the jealous
eye Of u third party came to the con-
clusion that Il would develop into q
case Of love II not broken up. That
third party was the bank cashier, and
he did not have to go far for a plan.
All the bands at the quarry and the
mills were paid nee q month. The
monthly pay roll amounted to between
EAOOO and $1,000. and in his new posi-
ton young Bliss made up the roll,
placed the cash 10 envelopes and hand
ed II over to heads Of departments.
The quarry was two miles from town,
the mills a quarter Of a mile farther,
and the trip was made IN a buggy. As
the cou2try was opened and settled the
idea Of robbers was absurd. The mon
~ was always placed in a satchel AT
the hank on the 30 Of the month. pro.

81 believe that moonlight shooting Is
peculiar to California" said n resident
Of that state. The air there is so dry
in certain localities, the nights so clear
and the moonlight so bright that one
gets a good range of vision. and every
thing stands out with startling dis
tlnctness. Wild ducks frequently move
in the night, and the sportsman who is
alert will get the whir Of wings and a
sight of them almost as well at night
as in the daytime. There is an added
tlnge OF excitement afforded by a night
hunt. and many California hunters go
out on clear nights and frequently with
great success."-New York Tribune.

ROLLING AN
The Proper Way ~ 60 Twist Ribs

and Stick Together.
why is It," asked an inquisitive Gus
toner in q downtown umbrella store,
"that one can never roll up an umbrella
as compactly and neatly rs II is rolled
when he buys ~"
you can il you only know how"
said the salesman, but II everybody
knew how 1t would mean less business
for US. The umbrellas would last Ion
ger, and there would be q lot less work
for the repalrers.
Perhaps | shouldn't tell you how"
the clerk continued. but it's so simple
you should know anyhow. II you have
noticed. nenrly everybody who rolls up
an umbrella tukes hold Of It by the
handle and keeps twisting the stick
with one hand while he folds and rolls
with the other hand.
"No,v, that's Just where the mistake
comes In. Instead of twisting with the
handle he should take hold of 1t just
above the points Of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie evenly
around the stick. Keep hold Of these,
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up the cover. Holding
the ribs prevents them from getting
twisted out Of place or bending out Of
shape. Then the silk Is bound to fold
evenly and roll smooth and tight.
'Roll your umbrella this way, and
until it is old enough TO get rusty look
ing it will losk as II Il had just come
from the shop."-New York Herald.

he had been out Of work for a year or
more and was sccdy and discouraged
and wondering II he hadn't better 60

life. The old man locked him over and
said:

You'll end me at the bank"
On the morrow. having stolen a ride
on a freight train, young Bliss appear

Benjamin Franklin was one Of the
most earnest and tireless Of scientists.
His discoveries are classed among the
most remarkable Of bis age. They were
as extensive and brilliant as they were
deep and mysterious. He outran the
most celebrated English electricians in
the race for new discoveries. He gave
form and dignity to the science OF cleo
tricity and raised the science to a high
rank among the most useful and dis
tinguished and also gave 1t a phllo-
sophie standing second TO none OF the
discoveries OF the eighteenth century.
To Benjamin Franklin are due many
Of the most useful discoveries In cleo
tricity. His clear eyes of prophecy saw
the glorious triumph Of his favorite
science. and somewhere he may be
watching the grand illuminntions re-
sulting from his successful efforts In
bottling q dash OF lightning. He was
the drgt man TO succeed In imprisonlng
the mysterious currents OF electricity.

The remarkably large receipts
played to this season by Mr.. White
side and his excellent company has
caused no little comment in theatre
cal circles. In st. Louis, Indianap-
oils, Baltimore, Montreal, st. Paul
and Minneapolis and other large
cities, the audience has many nights
each week, tested the capacity of
the theatres. Through one night
stands, crowded houses have been
the rule. Mr.. Whiteside's beautiful
production of "The Merchant of
Venice"-that most popular of COM
edies-has been received with the
greatest of favor, and the actor is
rapidly regaining his small fortune
which he lost by the burning of the
Coates Theatre in Kansas City.

WIRELESS KILOGRAMS"
Special to the Statesman.

Special to the Statesman.
Harg, Mo Mar. H.-Since the
withdrawal of Clark and De Almond
from the senatorial race, several
enthusiastic Clark men in this
neigborhood have withdrawn their
election bets.
Wilton, Mo-, Mar. 19.-The drug
business at this place shows that
the effect of the drouth is undated
and that drinking-water is still
hard to get. Substitutes, however,
are easily obtained.
Rock Bridge, Mo-, Mar. 1S.-We
are on the boom in this neck of the
woods. Several new houses, going
up. No candidates OIL wild geese
see here this spring and we fear
winter is not yet over. We don't
plant potatoes till the sign is just
right.
Sturgeon, Mo-, Mar, Lett is
understood here that Judge w. F.
Roberts will again be in the race
for representative. Our citizens
hope he will run. The common
pleas court is still running. (Later-
we hear the Judge is off the track.)
Harrisburg, Mo-, Mar. 1.-THE
building of a gravel road from this
place to Ashland, has been abandon
ed, owing to the fear of the Ashland
people that it might result in bring
ing the Ashland and Columbia trade
to Harrisburg. We have raised in
the last ten years not less than $780,
600, for this road, but before we
could get organized the mud would
be gone-also our enthusiasm. So
that the money is yet unspent. The
amount of money we have subscribed
to these roads would have built a
first class court house.
Centralia, No., Mar. lS.-The
citizens of this town and township
are heartily in favor of a new
$4,000 Court House at the County
seat, provided the bond proposition
includes also a proposition to spend
$4,000 on the roads i'm each of the
7 townships. This we consider fair
to us, since our township Is much the
smallest in the county, and about
one fourth the size of Cedar. The
Court House sentiment is growing
in this part of the county. Some of
our citizens want toidonate the park
to the county and have the new
structure built there. If Mr.. Booth
receives the nomination for probate
Judge and Mr. Harris becomes
prosecuting attorney, it is also
believed a good vote for the structure
at Columbia might be given by
C%entralia.
