The Nebraska man who was startled at
breakfast Thanksgiving morning by read
ing an account Of his divorce from the wife
who at that moment sat opposite him at
table had a unique experience, but he may
yet have cause to be thankful. Divorces
are not often surprises TO those affected
by them, but where a wife shows such a
lack Of confidence in her husband as not to
let him in on her plans for separation, d.
vorce in any form ought to be a pretty
good thing.

Police court interpreters in New York
City appear to be on a higher plane than
polyglot aids in other countries. A recent
newspaper paragraph relates that when a
German who did not speak French was in
the witness box in a Paris police court, and
no official interpreter was forthcoming, the
witness daughter would have been &C
cepted. But a representative of the pro
%cureur'' demurred because of sex. The dis
'pute ended in a barrister acting as inter-
prefer.

acting. Candidates who go before the civil
service examiners are required to prove
their knowledge Of English, German, Italian,
Hebrew, Spanish, French. Scandinavian and
Russian. The civil service examination ex-
acts that a candidate shall establish his eff

A man with an enterprise OF only modest
proportions, say involving the expenditure
Of about 49, 900, 900, excites very little at
tention in New York these days. A week
ago a distinguished Catholic clergyman
came from Toronto, Canada, with a plan to
erect a cathedral that would excel st.
Sophia in magnifcence and overtop the tall
dome of st. Peters. The aura Of this splen-
did dream made New Workers blink a little.
but they took this project as a matter Of
course. Now once more is the newest and
biggest" thing In the world planned for
New York, says a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch. This time it is a hotel.
1t is to occupy the historic site once occu-
pied by the old Brunswick, which, by the
way, was in it's time the biggest and grand
est and finest and everything that had ever
happened. Rubbing his eyes and trying for
a moment to catch up with the swift march
OF events the average New York man dis
covers that the New York he knew vester-
day is a dead and buried city, as obsolete
in at a doorway which on Monday had
opened to him its hospitable arms he
stumbles on the ruins of demolition. pre-
paratory to a new monster Of enterprise.
Retreating he falls into a subterranean in
ferno OF pipes, wires and debris. out of
which he is very likely blown sky high into
the rafters OF another new skyscraper of
whose very existence he had never heard.
From this eminence he looks down uDon a
city wrapped in a devastating cloud OF
soft-coal smoke and gasps: us this New
York;" 1t is not. At least, 1t is not the
New York OF New Workers. Where only
the day before yesterday stood an ancient
city, the metropolis of complacency. pleas
ing and pleased with itself, is now sprawled
an endless, inchoate mass. At every corner
something is being torn down to make
room for something else. which is to be
the biggest thing on earth. Half a dozen
hotels are under way in Manhattan and a
dozen or more theaters, every one of which
is to make a new record for size and sDlen-
dor. What is TO be the End? Already the
Waldorf-Astoria is a mere road house. the
Metropolitan opera house a roost for owls.
D~elmonico's and SheTry's are coffee stands.
All belong to the dingy past of day before

Two brothers, heads Of one OF the largest
banking firms in New York City, have been
for years conspicuous for a popularity
which was thought to be confined to them.
Although they live near one another and
start for business at the same time, reports
the Sun, they have never been known to
travel downtown together on the same
train. II they arrive at the station stimuli
taneously, ms frequently happens, since
they often meet and walk together, one
always waits until the other brother has
started downtown. Then he takes the next
train. Their object in doing this is to avoid
any danger of the consequences that might
arise from an accident. In such a case one
brother would be on hand to attend to the
business.
Now a younger pair Of brothers who seem
in a fair way to become as prosperous as
the prototypes, after a while, are emulating
their plan with even greater caution. They
live in the same house and are usually
ready to go to business at the same time
every day. But they approach Wall street
by diverse routes. They will not even trust
themselves simultaneously to the same rail-
road, and while one goes to his place of
business by the Sixth avenue elevated, the
other goes to the Third avenue. Such a
plan not only prevents the consequences Of
serious accident, but even a delay.

WAS HE MAD?
Crazy Dog Bites stock aud People al
DelIslOw.


A dog belonging to Jack Walker at
Dellslow has been terrifying that sec
tion, and biting everything that came
in his way.
The animal left home week ago,
so the story is related and made cir
cult through the neighborhood, snap
ping dogs, cats, chickens and cattle.
1t bit dog for Brock Runner, two
dogs and a heiver for Ed Hart, and
stopping at Charley Shaw's bit one
of his little boys in the hand.
Some think the dog was mad, while
Others say it was only playing with
the Shaw children, when the boy got
bitten.
After a few days the dog returned
home and continued to show signs OF
hydrophobia, it was killed by the own
err. 1t is not certain that the dog
had rabies, but he acted very strange
ly, ass the owner took tie wise course
by killing him.
The dogs that were bitten are still
running at large. 1t would seem
only the sensible thing to do to either
muzzle the dogs that were bitten or
contlne them for some time.
When the dog tax goes into effect
there won't be so many dogs to GO
mad. A good dog is a useful friend
however and ought to be worth more
than his tax.

TWO CENTS
STATE SURVEY.
Field work Finished for tho
year 1909.

Report About Ready to be Presented
to the Governer-What mas Been
Done During the Year Just Closed
Valuable Work Being Given the
/ State at Half Price.
The state geological survey Is
about ready to make its report 10
the Governor. This report will show
that a great deal of work has been
accomplished by the survey. Six
teen quadrangles have been survey
ed. This covers an area of 2.69S
square miles.
A portion of these quardangles
are in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In
West Virginia they embrace portions
of the counties of Marion, Taylor,
Harrison. Wetzel, Cabell, Lincoln,
Wayne, Ohio, Marshall, Brooke,
Lewis, Upshur, Barbour. Monongalia
Gilmer, Jefferse n. Hancock, Preston
Doddridge, Wood, Peasants, and
Richie.
In addition to the work ON these
which has been done in the field all
the work of the first year has been
mapped in the office and published.
The maps are..now being.prepared for
the work of this season and they
will be ready for distribution before
very long.
DIR. |. G. White has had charge of
the survey since it started two years
ago. He has been serving without
compensation thinking that the val
ue of the work done is sufficiently
great to make it incumbent on him
to do it as labor OF love. Ray
Hennen is chief clerk the survey
having taken the place left vacant
by the resignation of John NJ. Gregg
who will become circuit clerk the
first of the year.
Half of the expenses of the sur
vey is being borne by the national
government and it's experts have
charge of much of the work being
done. They will continue this poll
ey until the whole state is mapped.
The maps not only show the top
ography of the country, but the
contour lines as we'll for every TWEEN
ty feet of elevation. They will show
all the mineral resources in the form
of outcrops and other information
about the extent Of the beds of min
erals which are to be found in the
state.
Many of the counties of the state
have no accurate surveys and this
work is important to them for that II
mother reason. Thirty thousand dol
lars have already been appropriated
by the state and this has been ex-
pended. All the expense of print
ing the maps is borne by the govern
ment and the plates will be preserv-
ed at Washington
Later handy volume is to he
published showing a map of each
county to get her with an accurate
description of its mineral resources.
A volume on coal is now In press
and it is expected that it will be
ready for delivery some time in
February.
When it was at first proposed to
make the survey of the state the
government made the Morgantown
sheet as a sample without it costing
the state a penny.
