LITTLE BIT OF HOLLAND.
The Busy Fishermen and Their
''VrOws" of Vol ndam Who Catch
GuiIders of Tourists.

The inhabitants daily dress in
their Sunday best, to catch the
''guilders" Of unsuspecting tourists;
but along the dyke, in the single
street of Volendam, one sees the fish
ermen and their good ''vrows," not
in holiday attire, but dressed for
their vocation, precisely as Volendam
fishermen have beer clothed for CEN
turies, past, says Four-Track News
The men wear tight-ftting jackets,
buttoned to short, full breeches, wood
en- shoes, and a shock of straight, thick
hair, clipped by their good DANES
around the edge of a bowl, in the good
old-fashioned way. The women are
busy as ants in heap of sand, wasting
not moment Of time, knitting their
long wooden stockings as they clatter
along the busting street in their shoes
of wood, and short striped skirts with
padded hips, their heads surmounted
by clean white caps of characteristic
cut.
The tiny houses, the narrow street,
everything is SO compact that one cas-
lily ina gines he is in dolls village,
while the prodigious men and stalwart
women recall the childhood's wonder
ment, when our gaze first rested upon
the illustrations as we turned the
pages of 'Gulliver's Travels"

Niarara VIII Not Be Ruined

Fears have sometimes been ex-
pressed that when the immense cleo
tric-power installations at Niagara
falls are in complete operation, the
withdrawal of water through tun-
nels will spoil the beauty and grand
eur of the vast cataract. But an ex-
pertinent recently made by the Nj
agara Falls Power company, to as
certain the maximum capacity of its
great tunnel, the current through
which is calculated to develop at
least, 0,000-horse power, shows that
such fears are probably groundless.
When a quantity of water, ''twice as
great as many notable rivers dis
charge" was sent through the tunnel,
its diversion was not noticeable on
the brink of the falls, for it was but
a very small fraction of the water
that comes down from Lake Erie

you are going to have some of it any
way. You climb up on the car with
your divine rights and fill your bucket
at the expense of a down-trodden biz
lionaire with a red neck tie and torpid
liver, and then you hurry home and
produce a general thaw among the
members of your family.
Once more your hearthstone is
bright and warm. Once more your rose
geranium and other rare plants re-
sumo business at the old stand. Once
more your piano rocks on it's castors
as your youngest child plays, first one
tune and then another, on it with the
tack hammer.
1T is another home made happy and
chilblainless by the grand triumph of
divine rights. The coal baron, armed
with divine rights and a 40-foot fiat car,
seeks to hold on to his coal, while you.
armed with divine rights and a three
gallon coal scuttle, take it away from
him. 1t is glorious victory of divine
rights in ear muffs and three pairs of
socks and two red flannel understands
and four vests over divine rights in a
pair of kid gloves and a spiketailed
coat and a gold-headed cane and hol-
low cough and a shoeful of govt and
an earful of cotton.
Your divine right is where you get
tired of waiting for a policeman or a
justice of the peace to act and you take
the situa ton by the back of the neck
and use a club.
We remember a cold-hearted rail
road that yearned to lay a bob-tailed
switch up certain street in town
whose citizens yearned just as hard in
the opposite direction. The thing was
fought back and forth in the courts
until six or eight lawyers wore out
their pure young lives, and everybody
connected with the controversy was
sick at heart and ready to fight at the
1rop Of a hat.
Every term of court they would hur-
riedly clean off the court docket by
sending everybody to the penitentiary
whether they were up for divorce, de-
faultin@ a bank or disorderly conduct
with Il bootful of snakes, and then they
would start the great railroad case. A
bailitf would fill his pockets full of sub
poenas and drive out into the fringe of
civilization and hit in the bushes with
a club and scare up a venire: of jury
men who had never been on the ears
and were therefore not necessarily
warped in their opinion of the rail
roads.
Then the Goddess of Justice would
tie a handkerchief over her eyes and
the great trial would start. For weeks
and weeks the patient iurymen would

Alpine Hotel Notices.

American tourists abroad often com
ment upon the literal translation into
English of notices in foreign Ian
guages. The well-meanr efforts of
landlords and others to convey, in the
language of the visitor, the meaning of
the native, often produced laughable
results. A Washington citizen found
this notice posted in his room in anal
pine hotel: "Misters. the venerable
voyagers are earnestly requested not
to take clothes of the bed to see the
sun rise for the color changes"

AN ELECTRIC EYE-OPENER.

There is in Mobile gentleman who
in the past has been in the habit of
oversleeping in the morning hours,
and as his business requires that he
come down street early, it is essential
that he should awaken at a certain
hour. Time after time he came late
to his business, in spite of alarm clocks
and other appliances to get his eyes
opened at the proper time. One morn
ing recently he entered the office on
time to the minute. The others in the
office expressed great surprise at this

IMPORT WORMS FOR BIRDS.
A Chicago Dealer Receives Laree
Quantities from an Old Ger
man in New Jersey.

Chicago is obliged to import it's meal
worms from New Jersey.
The worm most valued from a COM
mercial standpoint is the small, inch
and half long specimen known as the
meal worm, usually found in flour mills
and kindred places. 1t is sold at all
bird stores as dessert or piece de re-
sistance for the family canary or par
rot. The retail price for meal worms
is 25 cents per hundred, and large guam
titles are sold, says the Chicago Trib-
une. A man who sells a large number
of meal worms 1t his bird store in State
street each year says that the supply
used tocome from various mills around
the country, the mill boys being tempt
ed by liberal rewards to put in their
noon hours prying around behind the
loose boards of the mill eXhuming the
worms and sending them to Chicago.
But now the dealer receives all his
supply from an old German down in
New Jersey, who runs a sort of meal
worm ranch. This man breeds the
worms and ships them when they are
fully grown and of proper weight and
color. He has a building fixed up to
resemble an old mill, full of loose
boards and with flour and meal plenti-
fully sprinkled around. The unsus-
pecting worms are led to believe that
they are boarding in a real mill until
such time as they are fat enough to
cause canary birds heart to dilate
with JOY. Then they are ruth1essly
seized, packed into tins, and sent to

Missouri Doodle Prosecution Seems At
tanning Wider Scope.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July Circuit At
terney Folk has information which
may lead to the indictment of Eastern
capitalists for bribery in connection
with the transit bill which was passed
by the Missouri legislature in 1899.
The statute of limitation prevents
the prosecution of those persons living
in Missouri who are alleged to have
been connected with the deal, but those
living in New York are not protected.
1t is understood that such indictments
would have to be found by the Cole
county grand jury, as the deal was
made in Jefferson, Mo. Should the in
dictments be voted the whole Doodle
story would doubtless come out for the
first time.
The legislative agents were empow-
cred, it is said, to use all the money
necessary to overcome the objections
of any member of the legislature. Cir
cult Attorney Folk expects to COM
plete the chain Of evidence in a few

man, but when he emerged from store
he resembled the original fat man. His
legs were several sizes too large for
any ordinary man, and his chest was
enveloped in ten coats He had neglect
ed to take any vests, owing to the
weather being warm.

came waddling down the street, the
thickness OF the cloth forcing him to
walk in ludicrous manner, "the poor
fellow has a bad case of elephantinis,

preached him. II am all right and can

which offer he rejected. Mr.. Hallen-
back, Herman said, offered him, If he
would withdraw his bid, $50 a week
and a large part of % per cent of the
net profits of his business, which he
would guarantee to be at least $4,000 a
year in addition to his salary. He said
Mr.. Tooker, of the Metropolitan Print
ing company, offered to pay him $4,000
if he would agree to execute the con-
tract in that establishment and let
them share in the contract and to
make contract for five years and to
pay him 500 per week salary. These
propositions he rejected.
The award to Herman was based on
an opinion by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Robb holding that Herman's bid
was made in good faith, and that to
disregard the bid upon the objections
raised would be against both reason
and sound public policy.
The New York company, by today's
award, lost the contract which it had
held sixteen years. Both Herman and
a delegation from the Typothetae were
given hearings before the postmaster
general today, at which all sides of the
question were discussed.

and was given until July 20 to file a

with Machen, appeared in court and
pleaded not guilty. They will be tried
at the fall term of the court in October.
