In New York sometime ago the
police dragged dirty, foul-smelling
old beggar> out of tenement house
that was on fire. He had been hurt
and had to be taken to hospital.
The probabilities are that he had not
had bath in twenty years. At the
hospital the attendants removed his
clothing. His legs and part of his
body were "plastered with 81, 50, S.
and $40 bills,' amounting to several
hundred dollars in all. Imagine those
bills going back into circulation and
being handled by people who wet
their fingers in their months as they
turned the bills over! The probabili-
ties are that there are tens of thou
sands of bills in circulation which,
if their history were known, are not
less loathsome than the bills taken
from the body and legs of the old
miser in New York. Isn't the idea
enough to disgust anybody with the
dirty, pulpy, greasy, toul-smellng old
bills
Torn and dirty bills are not per-
mitted to circulate in Great Britain {.
If nation were to be judged by its
paper money, we should stand con-
victed of being a very dirty and ILL
smelling people.

THE MAN WHO WISHED.
There was once man who wish

There was once a man who wish
ed.
Everything he saw-another mans
money, another mans luck, another
mans love-he wanted.
The more he sat and wished the
poorer he grew, till out Of rags and
hunger he cried: "Others have their
desire. Give me mine?'
And so wish was granted him.
Once in his life he could desire and
hsve. But only once.
At that the man rose up and walk
ed forth, rejoicing-till he began
thinking what it should be. Then his
choice troubled him, for he had but
one with.
A rich mans carriage splashed him
in passing by. He was angry, and
almost wished the rich man evil. But
he remembered in time that it would
consume his gift and he have gain.
He passed cook-shop, and was so
faint he nearly wished for what be
saw; till he remembered that hunger
would come again with night, and his
wish be gone.
The wind pierced his rags, so that
be almost desired cloak; but he re-
strained himself, for cloaks wear thread
bare.
Then he laughed at his foolishness,
and was about to wish for gold to buy
both food and cloak. But being poor
and alone, the world have said that
he stole it, and taken it from him.
So, whereas, before he had sat down
and idly wished for things around him
be now pressed on, not daring to de-
sire what he saw.
Still, knowing he could end them if
he chose, he bore his cold and hnnger
till, coming to town, he hired him
self out to work for dinner and cloak.
Then he went on warm and fed, his
precious wish still whole.
Thus he jonrneyed, till place he
came to there was war. At first be
feared; yet remembering he had but
to wish in order to win, he had courage
took the weaker side, and fighting
hard, he won. He had his wish with
him.
When peace came he loved maid
who did not love him in return. He
thought to make her love him by his
gift, but now he had pride in trusting
to himself; so RENDERING her love
might fade in after years, and his
power to wish it back again be gone:
be set his mind to WOO her for him
self.
Soon she loved him, and they were
wed. And still he had his wish.
Thus, made strong by his secret
gift, and keeping it ever for future
day, he worked by his own hand, grew
great and famous, and things he had
vainly sat and wished for were his
striving.
At last full of years and honors he
lay dying. And he remembered he
had yet his wish.
They tempted him to use it now, to
ask for longer life.
But he was wise even to the end.
Work is the gift," he said 81 have
had everything by it. Now I will use
my wish. wish to die.
And it was granted him.

questions with the speed of rapid-fire
gun.
"Was there moon that night?"

"No, sir"

TO BRING GRAIN HERE
Local Millers Want Better Rates From
the Southwest

Minneapolis millers are said to be
seeking a meeting in Chicago of grain
men and western road representatives
to talk over reduced rate for south
western grain to the twin cities. The
millers believe they have not had a
fair show. They, want a good per-
centage of southwestern grain for
grinding in Minneapolis.
A committee of traffic officials of
trunk lines at New York have agreed
to a undermining Of the grain agree
ment to be adopted individually by the
New York Central, West Shore, Erie,
Pennsylvania, Lackawanna, Lehigh,
Ontario & Western and Baltimore &
Ohio. The board of managers of the
produce exchange will consider the
matter July 7. The agreement pro-
vides that the railroad companies may
put together rail grain of the same
grade without regard to ownership
after weighing and inspection.
The agreement shall not be con-
strued as depriving receivers Of grain
Of the right Of preserving the identity
of ex-lake grain, ifEtfey shall SO elect,
nor as depriving shippers Of the right
Of preserving the identity of all-rail
grain consignedto this market, If they
Shall so elect, subject only to such uni
form conditions as may be made by
the railroad companies for that pur-
pose. g.. .F......-s

UPH0LDS MORRIS
INDIAN LAND ACT
Justice of District Supreme Court
Dismisses Suit of Minnesota
.Redman. .-.. i
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington. ,. .a
Washington, June 2s.-Justice An
derson in the supreme court Of the
District of Columbia today dismissed
the suit of Joseph Naganab against
Secretary Hitchcock involving the
validity Of the Morris act for the dis
posal Of Chippewa timber and lands
in Minnesota. The suit was brought
last November at the instance of we'll
known lumbermen, it was alleged,
who wanted to prevent the sale of
timber, then advertised for late In
December, and the court was asked
to issue an injunction. The court did
not issue even a temporary Injunction,
and the secretary Of the interior has
proceeded with that and subsequent
sales regardless of the suit.
In his decision Justice Anderson
held that there was lack of proper
parties; that Naganab was acting
solely In individual capacity as mem
Der Of the Chippewa tribe and not
by authority Of the tribe or any band
Of it.
AS to the Morris act he held that to
be constitutional and cited the Lone
Wolf case in support of the ruling
that congress had full authority to
legislate for the disposal Of Indian
lands without the consent of the In
dams.
AS to the loss which it is alleged the
Indians will sustain by Withholding
the 100000 acres from sale as pro-
vided IN the act the decision refers
them to congress for relief.

LAWYERS. DISAGREE.
A Three Handed Affair Argred Be-
fore Judge Peasley To-Day.

In the elegantly allegorieal Ian
guage of the day it was 'sup' to At
folney Seery in the probate court to-
day to prove that Attorney Thoms
gave him permission TO bring certain
proceedings against his friend and eli
ent, Stephen r. Cam, in the name of
the city. Mr. Seery said he got this
permission and Mr. Thoms and Attor-
ney Bronson claimed he did not get
It,
The controversy arose during the
hearing of appeal from the city court
in the case of the city in foreclosure
proceedings for taxes against Mr.
Cam. Attorney Bronson represented
the city and Mr. Seery represented Mr.
Cam. Judgment for the plaintiff
was given in the city court some time
ago for $50 taxes on property said to
be worth $1,000. Parties named Nj
gro were interested in the matter, but
they put in no appearance, either per-
sonal or proxy and law day was set
for three months later.
These proceedings were considered
very strange by Mr. Bronson. Attor-
ney Seery took the stand in his ~1gn
behalf and testified that he brou ut
suit against Cam and for the city by
permission of Mr. Thoms, who was
then tax collector He said he had
three or four conversations with Mr.
Thoms on the matter and that the fl.
nal one took place in Mr. Thoms' Of
fee about Christmas time and that he
got some foreclosure blanks from him.
Mr. Thoms said he gave no such au-
thority to Mr. Seery because he had al
ready given it to Mr. Bronson. He
said he could not recall any CONVERSE
ton with Mr. Seery in his Office about
Christmas time, but he did see him
pick up two or three foreclosure
blanks.
However, Mr. Seery did bring suit,
and the object, as claimed by Mr.
Bronson. was to offset Mr. Bronson's
suit
Mr. Seery testified in rebuttal and
the case was closed. Decision was
reserved by Judge Peasley.

SON SUCCEEDS FATHER.
Attorney John p. KelIogg Appointed a
Bronson Library Agent.

Before the adjourned meeting of the
aldermen was called to order last
night a special meeting was held for
the purpose of filling the vacancy
on the board OF agents of the Bronson
library fund to succeed the late Gen
eral Stephen w. Kellogg. The repub-
licans had caucused upon the matter
and agreed upon City Attorney John
p. Kellogg, all thinking it a graceful
compliment to Mr. Kellogg to be asked
to step into bis fathers shoes as one
of the agents of the city library. Ac-
cording to the charter, the appofntee
had to come from the ranks of the
republican party, and as soon as the
democrats learned the name of the
candidate, Mr. Murray moved that the
clerk be requested to cast a ballot as
the sense of the meeting for the unan-
imous election of John p. Kellogg to
fill the unexpired term of General
Kellogg as agent of the Bronson Ii
brary fund. 1t was done In a jIffy
and that was all there was to it. The
last time the democrats had man to
elect, the republicans held them up
for several weeks. and they didn't
get their candidate through until Mr.
Chesson, who was out of town, return
ed and rebuked his colleagues for
"discourtesy to the other side of the
house."
