frame shaped like the runners Of a

and sticks laid horizontally. These
rather resemble pots for the kitchen
range than musical Instruments, but
each is roughly tuned. forming the

her property. One day h drove to
the studio in her victoria. Mr.. Whis-
Yer went out to the sidewalk to greet
Per.
Mr.. Whistler" she said, two years
ago | bought II of your pictures, a
beautiful thing. and ! have never been
able to hang it OF my walls. 1t has
been loaned to one exhibition or an
other. Now today l have my carriage
with me, and l would like to take it
home with me | am told it is in your
possession"
Dear lady" returned Whistler. you
ask the impossible. l will sci it to
you when l have it again, but it is not
here. You have been misinformed.'
And so forth. and so forth, to the same
effect, and the lady drove off without
her picture.
After she had departed Whistler
commenced to poke around the studio.
and. to the great establishment of a
friend who had been an involuntary
listener to the above conversation, he
brought forth a canvas.
Here it is he said. 'She was right
about one thing-it is beautiful" And
it was beautiful.
But the impudence of these people,
he continued. who think that because
they pay a few paltry hundred pounds
they own my pictures. Why. it mere
ly secures them the privilege of having
them in their houses now and then.

Curious Irish Marriage Custom.

A curious old marriage custom, call
ed locally the settling.' still survives
in County Donegal, Ireland, and in the
Scotch districts Of kintyre and Cowal.
After the marriage has been publicly
announced the friends of the couple
meet at the house of the brides par
ents to fix a suitable date for the mar
rage. A bottle of whisky is opened,
and as each guest drinks to their hap
piness he names a date. When each
guest has named a date an average is
struck and settling is complete.
Neither the bride nor bridegroom ever
thinks of protesting against the date

The trains that are running into
South Dakota on all railroads these

From all the unkind remarks that

the statements. There is n thing

Fra h Death Houses.

In Frankfort the body Of the dead is
removed as soon as life is extinct to
"leichen hansen" OF death houses,
where it rests until the first signs of
decomposition appear. Such a death
house consists Of a warder's room, with
five death chambers on each hand. A
ring on the finger of each body is con-
nected with a bell. and should one
rouse from a trance that had been mis-
taken for death he could summon the
warder. Since Frankfort has had
death houses several young girls have
been rescued from being buried alive.

BIDDING FOR BUSINESS.
More Reduction in Freight Rates to
North Pacific Points.

Chicago, June 17.-Further important
reductions in freight rates from all east
ern points to north Pacific coast points
will be made soon. A month ago the
transcontinental roads issued an amend
ment OF their tariff, in which a reduc-
tion in rates was made on more than 500
commodities. Most of the articles con-
tanned in the list were those needed in
large quantities by Puget Sound job
bers. The effect was seen almost i'm
mediateIy in the increased lake and rail
shipments from the east to the Pacific
coast. The saving to the Pacific coast
jobbers, it is said, amounted all the way
from 10 to 80 per cent and justified the
transfer OF business from the ocean
carrying freighters to the quicker route
by lake and rail.
The second amendment to the tariff
is to include the greater part of the
various articles shipped to the Pacific
coast not included in the first amend
ment, and to be controlled by graded
rate.
Another departure is a decrease in the
less than carload shipments, which per-
mits the small buyer to order goods in
quantities to suit himself instead Of
forcing him to place large orders.

lowed the route by which he had come
except that when he reached ROssville
he found that the construction train on
which he had come down had gone back
and he ran his hand car on to st Marys.
He got home at midnight.
on the following day he repeated the
trip, making the journey with a little
more ease because the construction train
was able to carry him to Silver Lake.
This time he accommodated the Union
Pacific people by carrying several mes
sages to the Reform school and had
them sent out over the Rock Island
wires.
A rather gruesonae experience awaited
him upon his landing in North Topeka
after having crossed from ShOrey after
an uneVentful journey down from St
Marys. The water had receded a little
by that time and he was able TO make
his landing near the Rock Island bridge
in North Topeka instead of coming
down to the Union Pacific depot. At the
crossing of the Rock Island and Union
Pacific tracks in North Topeka Quig-
ley's boat snagged. Seeing that he
would have to get ont to dislodge it he
stepped into the shallow water to find
that it was the body of a negro woman
that impeded his progress. The skirt
was caught in the PROV Of the boat
Although rather startled at his discOV-
cry, Quigley lifted the body and placed
it in the boat and carried it to where
it could be given proper care.
Friday appears to have been his un-
lucky day Later when returning. his
boat was unset at the Davis elevator
in North Topeka, where the water was
still rather deep and swift The lower
ing of the flood had made boating IL
North Topeka even more GangerouS and
uncertain than it had been during the
waters height In getting himself ou-
OF the difficulty Quigley was compelle /
to do some swimming with his clothes
on. but he succeeded in recovering his
mail and rowed the rest of the way to
