FOOL WOMAN, MEAN MAN.

%So years ago a wandering
zerona1t blew into Paris and made
several ascensions. One time his
parachute failed to work and
Gnstead of making a gradual, easy
descent he fell head foremost
through a tree top, broke several
ribs and tore his body into shreds.
s. s good, sympathetic woman was
employed to nurse the battered
eaeronaut, and, womanlike, she fell
N love with and married him. She
wants a divorce now, giving as her
seasons that the trihing fellow has
never contributed anything to her
support and that ne puts in his
spare hours cussing, kicking and
beating her. This leads us to the
conclusion that God never created
anything as foolish as woman
nor as mean as man.

A Hero In Rags.

Mexican Herald:
He was Mexican.
He was a laborer.
He wore ragged clothes.
He was also hero.
Philip Ortiz WINS employed as a
section hand on the San Francisco
branch of the Santa Fe railroad.
After working on piece of the
track one of the gang OF men had
forgotten to remove from between
the rails heavy jack.
The heavy limited" came
laundering along.
Ortiz saw if the jack remained
on the track there would be a great
disaster. Without considering his
own danger he leaped on the track,
jorked the jack from its position
and hurled it aside. The next inst
ant he was struck by the engine
and cut to pieces.
The train swept on needless OF
the mangled form that lay by the
side OF the track.

and smoked, all regardless of the

He was constantly writing and
receiving letters from them. He had
saved up quite sum of money.
In few days he was going to the
village to engage in business in

But if you can't see the pathOs
of it, why tell more, or picture the
grief in the little Mexican hut?
And if your heart is big enough
to understand, then you can take
off your hat to the bloody bundle

understand that under the cut and

Not Likely to be Considered.

According TO the report of Frank
p. Sargent. commissioner general of
immigration. nearly one million aliens
were received in this country in the
fiscal year just ended. This would be
Il matter for cOngratulation if the re-
port did not show that the great ma
iority of the arrivals were ignorant
and undesirable. The same report
says that the number of immigrants
next year will probably exceed one
million, a large majority of the inn
migrants of the same objectionab BILE
character. Years ago the immigra-
ton to this country was from the
most intelligent and desirable classes
of the old world people. and most of
them became democrats on reaching
this country. The ignorant and vic
ious immigrants of late years have
allied themselves almost en- maSse
with the republican party. For this
reason it is not likely that the repub-
lican congress will give serious con
sideration to the commissioners sug-
gestion as to amending the existing
laws.

The latest amusement i'm Kansas is
the progressive peanut party, which
sounds harmless. Only women play
the game, for it is too great a nerv-
Gus strain for man. y dish full of
peanuts is placed on a table and four
women armed with hatpins are given
seats around it. and at a signal begin
to jab into the peanuts with the hat
pins. 1t is a foul to touch a peanut
with the hands. and the two sticking
the most peanuts on the hatpin win
and progress to the next table. Social
life in the west must be very pleas
ant.

gerate il one or two. but it is safe to
say many are being distributed. 1t is
interesting to speculate on the guam
tity of food that will be supplied by
the growth of these fish during the
next few years. Another interesting
fact in this connection is that 1000
private persons. so the above men
toned dispatches show. have supplied
their own fish ponds with these tiny
fish. This looks like it will! be just as
ordinary for man to raise his own
fish in the future as il is now for the
farmer to raise his own chickens.
Fish culture has been given some
attention in the United States for
some years past, but has been given
more attention of late. Wherever u
supply of running water can be Sc
cured. it will be possible to grow fish.
In large sections of the country fish
ponds can be made readily. and the
United States will furnish the supply
of little fish with which to stock and
restock the lakes. The members of
the fish commission say they are anN-
ious to encourage fish culture in this
way.
III IilIIolS HSu culture II gwen more
attention now than ever perhaps.
since it has been learned that it is of
great value not only to fish dealers
and fish growers, but to the general
public.
OF the millions of little fish distrib-
uted by the government, it is said but
l per cent are game fish. The 80 per
cent are expected to grow into nice
fat fish for commercial use. But fish
culture should be given careful at
tention. and the state and federal
commissions are expected to attend
to business.

Having cured himself of consump-
ton, Surgeon Thomas \. Berryhill. of
the United States army, has returned
to duty in Brooklyn and has been as
signed to the cruiser Baltimore. Two
years ago DIR. BerryhiIl developed
signs of consumption. and after los
ing 40 pounds in weight he went to
Michigan and camped out for the
summer. Later in the season he and
another invalid went to dry and I'M

Antonio. Texas, where they pitched
their tent. Every night they slept
with the flaps of their tent open on

closed. During the day the men fish
ed and hunted, making it a point al
ways to keep their minds occupied
with some invigorating outdoor exer-

faded away one by one. In a few
months DIR. Berryhill had regained
the lost 40 pounds. His friend show

now been pronounced entirely cured.

POOr Picking For New Trusts.

And now it's the sandpapef manufac-
turers who ''are working together har-
moniously. and prices are reported to
be steadily maintained" says the Iron
Age of May IA. We fear this trust Is
too late upon the scene and that there
is nothing left for 1t except possibly a
few crumbs that the hundreds of other
trusts which got there first may have
overlooked. We are real sorry for the
sandpaper fellows and for the few 9th
er manufacturers. If any, who have
not previously got together" to get
their share of the tariff spells, but we
have been plundered: and despOiled by
so many cormorant trusts since Ding
ley walled us in and invited the trusts
to help themselves that we can furnish
only very poor picking for late Corners.
We now give warning to all prospective
trusts that there is nothing doing" for
them. In fact, we are tired. awfully
tired, of trust prosperity and high
prices and are longing for a vacation,
hard times, no trusts and low prices.
Give us a rest!
