the Chicago News. I'm give you fine
broom for some old clothes"

the house. Not to-day"
She began slowly to close the door,
but the peddler displayed one of his
brooms-a gorgeous, wide-spreadlng
one with a vanished handle and bound
with green plush.
Just a pair of old Shoes" pleaded
the peddler.

and closed the door, carefully putting
the catch on. Then she went upstairs
and rummaged through some closets
and at last found a pair of old shoes,
which she brought down and offered
to the peddler.
They're badly worm" he said.
"Of course they are" said the wom-
an, briskly. IF they weren't I'd wear
them myself. Do you want to trade me
a broom for them?"
The man smiled mournfully, and pro-
ducing a whisk broom, said: IN let
you have this for them shoes and 10
cents"
Certainly not" said the woman.
Give EN- to me-"
Haven't you any others?" asked the
peddler.

again. Then he said: We'll I'll give

'Wen, Is cents then"
"Oh, WELL" said the woman, II sup
pose I'll have to to get rid of you. Wait
here a minute"
She closed and bolted the door again
and went up stairs for her pocketbook,
from which she extracted a quarter,
which the peddler took. returning her
a battered nickel and five pennies.
Then he handed her small broom,
without any plush upholstering.
Here" said the woman II want
that one you showed me first"
Cant give you that broom for Is
cents" said the peddler.
Then give me the shoes and the
quarter back" said the woman. oil
-" Here she broke off and shifted.
"Gracious!" she exclaimed, 'if my pies

MES and give me the shoes and my
quarter"
The peddler took back his change
slowly and the odor of burning pastry
grew stronger.
"Pll let you have this broom for a
quarter and the Shoes" he said.
The woman snatched the broom out
of his hand, slammed the door in his
face and rushed to her oven to discover
four pies burned to a crisp. The ped
dler walked away smiling.

Both the supporters of Senator Smoot
and those who have petitioned for his
removal from the Senate will no doubt
be interested to hear OF the declara-
ton by one of the patriarchs of the
Norman church. Miner by name, that
only one negro has ever entered heay-
en- and that no other negro can pos
sibly pass the pearly gates. Patriarch
Miner made the declaration at the
funeral of a colOred man in Salt Lake
City a few days ago. asserting that it
was the teaching Of his religion. The
solitary negro who according to Miner.
managed to escape the rule of exclu-
sion was a servant of Joseph Smith.
the prophet of Mormonism, and this
servant was saved solely because of his
faithfulness to Smith and his belief
that the Mormon church was the only
real religion in the world. Senator
Smoot is a consistent member of the
Mormon church. After this declaration
by one Of the patriarchs Of the organ
ization, how are the Republicans, who
need negro votes, going to permit 10

The Canadian government, 1t is re-
ported from Ottawa, has determined to
petition the British government for
the treaty-making power. Canada,
still exercised about the award of the
joint high commission in the Alaska
boundary case, desires in future to
conduct her own negotiations, without
hindrance from London. 1t may be
doubted that the British government
will grant the request promptly. The
ties binding Canada to the mother
country are not over-strong at best,
and the casting off of one of them
would not be apt to strengthen the

STEEL TRUST GOSSIP.

The affairs of the United States Steel
Corporation are being shown up pretty
thoroughly by the newspapers. There
seems to be an impression that some
thing is impending in it's affairs; hence
the attention it is getting.
1t appears to be pretty we'll agreed
that the actual value of the proper
ties of the corporation, together with
its good will, is about $500, 900, 900. If
these figures are approximately cor
rect then there is more than 500. DOC, 900
Of water in the securities at their face
value. About $500, 900, 900 has been
squeezed out during the last few
months. The idea seems to be that
no dividends will be paid on the COM
mon stock ON the next dividend paying
day. and that it will not be long be-
fore only per cent. will be paid on
the preferred stock
AS a matter of fact, however. the
corporation is still earning more than
enough to pay a dividend on the COM
mon stock-a A per cent. dividend. And
there is a great reduction of expenses
going on. 1t looks as if the corpora
ton expected hard times in the steel
trade and was preparing for them.
And then there is talk that the steel
corporation has fallen into the hands of
Mr.. Rockefeller who proposes to make
money by hauling it's products over
lines of railway in which he is inter
ested. OF the many rumors afloat it
is difficult to get at the truth.

A London correspondent predicts
that within three months, possibly
before New Years, direct Geographic
communication between New York and
London, without intermediate stations,

between the two cities will be a fact.
In this age of wonders nobody will ex-

Turkish outrages? Only a few days
ago we were shocked every morning
by reading of the atrocities of the I'M
speakable Turk in Salonica, Monastir

swelled in sympathy with the patriotic
Macedonians when they declared,
daily, for liberty or death. But all at
once the whole controversy has drop

INNOVATION ON THE FARM
Electric Lights Used to Thresh by in
Minnesota

Electric Lights Used to Thresh by in
Minnesota
During the threshing season the
farmer has plenty of work on his
hands, and he considers that when the
threshing machine arrives at his farm
he must accomplish as much work as
possible. For that reason they work
until shutdown and many times sew
eral hours afterwards, provided there
is a moon.
The farmers about Zumbrota, Mimi,
this year find that they can do away
with this hurry and work all day and
night during the threshing season, as
Andrew Ness, one of the progressive
threshing machine owners of that Vi
cinity, hit upon plan that would ac-
complish this. He recently attached
25-light electric dynamo to his steam
thresher and in this way provided
enough light about the machine to
thresh all night if necessary. He has
16 lights arranged about the thresher
and engine, others on the feeder, and
several are located where the grain is
weighed and dumped.
This is the first time in the history
of Minnesota that threshing has been
done by electric light.
