Tit for Tat.
A man was brought up In provin-
cial court on a charge of stealing
sack of -four and was very severely
handled by the prosecuting lawyer,
who had once made himself notorious
by going into bankruptcy, which was
the only means by which he could
escape his debts.
you admit that you stole the sack
of flour?" asked the counsel, sternly.
Eyes: but took it honestly and in
broad daylight, to save my children
from starvation" pleaded the pris-
oner.
You call that honesty, do you?"
sneered the lawyer. 81 call it amazing
impudence. Stealing is stealing, from
whatever point of view you care to
look at it."
Just so, mister, but it don't allus
bring the same punishment" retorted
the man in the dock. For instance.
shouldn't have been here now II I'd
done as you used to do-bought or or
dered the flour, and never paid for
It!"

Russia Ships Butter.

The expectation of butter and eggs
from Russia is assuming large pro-
portions. The regular steamship serv-
ice between Riga and London for the
transportation Of butter and eggs to
England could not carry all the con-
signments, and an extra steamship Of
large enough tonnage had to be added
thereto. Even then about thirty car
loads of butter could not be shipped
as promptly as desired. Russian but

There Is considerable learned dis
cussion and poring over statistics In
progress to ascertain whether or not
college women marry as generally rs
they ought to. and. II not, why not.
The government seems inclined to
punish matrimory among its employees
by discharging the guilty woman. New
York and some other cities have gone
to the courts to find cut II they cannot
discharge woman teacher who so
far loses her geif.respect as to marry.
Shall we ever reach the happy day
when II will be nobody's business
whether woman marries or not?
Mr. Russell Sage discusses the diff.
culties of housekeeping In n current
periodical. After saying that she has
three servants in her house who have
been with her for periods varying
from ten to thirty years, Mrs. Sage
soberly remarks: Cooks are difficult
to keep. as they are more in demand
in marriage. Men like to marry cooks.
They feel that the food question is
settled then, whereas chambermaids
and mattresses do not appeal as close
ly to a mans interests" This is bet
ter than anything the bachelor girl
ever reflected.
There Is .ot Of nonsense written
by blithering IDIOT about under
standing women" They set up a
sphinx and call 1t a woman and then
make a great fuss over "analyzing"
her. As a matter of fact the lines of
marked difference in character be-
tween men and women are much
smaller and less conspicuous than the
broad, underlying t.'aits which are
common to humanity.
As to the allegations that college
women do not marry as generally as
they might, could and should, it may
be because they don't want to, and
then again it may be because men
don't like educated women.

1t is noteworthy fact that the
occupation of mining. which is at
tended with SO considerable hazard
in the United States as to make the
lives of miners almost non-insurable,
is in England not considered such
serious risk. Miners are longer lived
than many other indoor or factory
workers. This is not the case in
France, Germany, or Sweden. The
difference is attributed to more scien-
tiic mining and sanitary regulations

The advertising of the circus that is
to come here next month recalls to the
minds of the pcstofice employees an in
cident that happened here when Buff

series of ten dollar bills, the most
notable feature of which was the pic
ture of a big buffalo bull on the face
of the bills. That they are not vet out
of circulation was evidenced by the
receipt of one in the postffice yester-
day.
1t so happened that these bills reach
ed this part of the country about the
time Buffalo Bits aggregation did.
The day the show arrived an old
farmer stepped up to the money Or
der window and bought a piece of post
office paper. In returning his change
TIE money order clerk handed out one
of the new crisp bills with the picture
of a buffalo on it. 1t was right from
the government and had never beer
