WORKING a SMOOTH GAME.
Supposedly Deaf and Dumb, J. p.
Stickney FIeeces sympathizins Pub

That the blind should see and the
lame be made TO walk is the theory on
which ]. p Stickney is working an
unsuspecting and sympathizing public.
Pretending to be deaf and dumb he
has been emulating Mark Twain's duke
In quilting those charitably inclined.
kind Friend: Would you be kin
enough TO assist a deaf mute towards
getting enough money to defray his ex-
penses 10 Washington, d. G.? do not
wish YOU to think this is common
vocation of mine, for assure you i
is not, as I would not ask this of you
did I not deem it an absolute neces-
sity:
MY object in going to Washington
is to complete my education and pre-
pare myself for some trade, that of en-
craving. Any assistance whatever
will be appreciated, l assure you. Any
questions you may care to ask regard.
ing my home and antecedents will be
gladly answered Anything al all will
be gratefully accepted. Cordially
yours, j. p. STICkNEf
Such is the appeal that was made to
the people of Boone, and on two Pc
titions, found on Stickney's person,
were affixed the names of seventy
five people who had given 20 cents
each.
Stickney came TO grief thru recogni-
ton, in South Third avenue saloon,
by man who had given him "assls-
lance in Boone. When Stickney laid
down quarter, and called for the
drinks, the man from Boone accused
him OF being an imposter. Further
more he struck Stickney, and the latter
grabbed from behind the bar a huge
butcher knife which he was going
to use to make mincemeat out of his
assailant Constable Haas arrested him
and locked him up In the South Third
avenue station shortly after the oc-
currence Monday evening. In the po
lice court this morning Stickney gave
his name as j. G. Weber. He was
sentenced for six days on the charge
OF the larceny OF the butcher knife
from the A. Barry saloon. Marshal
Nicholson filed the information. While
Stickney is in retirement his doings
will be investigated, which may cause
him to be rearrested on a more seri-
Gus charge as soon as his sentence ex-
pires.

HAS FINE EXHIBIT.
Work Of Public Schools Pupils on Dis
play Before State Teachers.

A very pretty exhibit CT work done
In the public schools of Marshalltown
was shipped to Des Moines yesterday
for display before the Iowa State
Teachers Association. The exhibit, it
is thought, will differ materially from
the exhibits of many other schools. be-
cause of its original character. While
the exhibit is comparatively small, IT
is noteworthy in this fact that every
piece WAS designed, as well as ex-
ecuted, by the pupils The display
embraces thought work and drawing,
and all sorts of hand work, including
that in leather, tin and iron. A small
selection has been made from eacn
grade in the schools. from the kinder
garten up thru the high school.

STATURE OF WOMEN.
Are Sisters Growing Bigger and
Stronger Than Brothersp

From the Cleveland Leader.
In the nature of things no subject can
have more vital and enduring interest than
the relations between the sexes, the effects
OF their environment, and actual or posi-
Bile changes In the immemorial differences
between men and women, whether physical,
mental or merely the result Of habit and
custom. Hence 1t is not surprising that
no other topic invites more hasty and ILL
digested assertions and arguments Some
theories which will not stand dissection OBJ
tain Wide vogue, and very pronounced er-
rors are often accepted as facts.
Two curious instances are found in the
later phases OF comments on the growing
freedom and manifold activity of women.
1t is noted by observers Of all grades Of au-
thority and intelligence, including such IA
nous persons as the Austrian surgeon, Lor-
enz. that the young women of America have
surprising stature and are notable exam
Is little room for doubt that they are taller
and stronger. as rule than their mothers,
and it Is certain that in many instances they
overtop their fathers and older kinsmen So
much being clear. the conclusion is hastily
drawn that women are likely to change the
world-old balance Of physical size and
strength between the sexes and put to
shame the comparatively poor deveIopme Mt
of American men in the near future.
1t Is silly notion. How many young
women can any one name who have BROTH
ers inferior to them in height? What reas-
on Is there for supposing that the general
rule Is to be suspended or reversed which
has tended to make sons resemble their
mothers in physical characteristics, while
daughters have the features, complexion
and family traits Of their fathers? If. for
any reason there is a disproportionate ad-
vancement of one sex, in bodily size and
strength. in any generation. observation and
history teach that the next quarter of q
century will bring back the normal balance.
Meanwhile, the marked superiority in
height of brothers over their tallest sisters,
a. rule SO general that 1t has few exceptions
anywhere. indicates that much of the talk
Of the gains made by women, in stature and
vigor, are common to both sexes

Timely Joke. "Made in Germany"

From the Loldon Telegraph's Berlin Corr.
On his way to his office after a hurried
breakfast the merchant, Karl Namenlos,
received a letter from his wife. For the

self. but" For me? A letter? From"
Yes. darling! Please ask no questions,
but do as You are hidden. Don't read 1t I'M
til you are at your office. Now Co." It was
an uncommon experience. His own wife,
with whom he had just been chatting at the
breakfast table, now formally gives him a
letter. which he is to read in his Office
Curious! What could 1t mean? At the Of
flee he opened it. The writing was stray
Cling. The beginning was solemn. He
read: Il am forced to make you a commu-
nication. which will doubtless evoke your
displeasure. But 1t Is my duty to make the
fact known to you. and / am firmly resolved
to follow the dictates of my conscience and
divulge 1t, be the consequences what they
may. For more than a week l fereSaW that
l should be driven to take this step, but l
locked the secret in my breast until this
morning, and now the truth must be told.
But do not blame me too harshly for the
action 1 am taking. and, above all things,
do not let 1t worry you too much" Here
Herr Namenlos turned the page. with trem-
bling hand and palpitating heart. The
fact is the letter went on to say, 1.-The coal
cellar Is empty, or very nearly so, and I

An Irresponsible Metal.
From the London Telegraph.

From the LONDON Telegraph
. It Is everyday knowledge that bodies ex-
pand as they become hotter. which an en-
bryo scientist once thought would account
for the extra length of the days in summer.
but 1t has lately been discovered that
nickel-steel, when the component metals
are mixed In certain proportions, has the
peculiar property Of not altering in its
measurements as its temperature changes.
Experiments have been made at the Bu-
reau des Poids ct Measures, at Breteuil,
near Parts, for some years past, and In
1897 It was found that an alloy of thirty
six parts Of nickel with sixty-four Of iron
had a rate of expansion about one-tenth
that of platinum, and since then 1t has been
found possible to make an alloy whose ex-
pansion Is insensible. The advantage OF
such q substance for making standard
measures Is obvious; In fact. Its production
has rendered possible a new method Of
geodesy called the Jaderin. in which q long
nickei-steel wire takes the place OF the
comparatively short measuring bars for
merly used. Efficient clock pendulums and
balances for chr0nometers are made of this
substance. and It haS been pointed out that
q metal which can be made OF the same
expansfhAity az glass 10 enlfnently suitable
for many Industrial purposes, especially.
some connected With electric lighting.
