Antiouarians puned.

Traders in spurious antiquities and curios make a practice of planting their wares in country cottages and wayside hostelries where they may catch the eyes of possible customers. Here is an in- stance of the way in which the trick Is worked, Calling for a cup of tea at a humble house by the roadside cyclist observed In the front room an ancient looking grantfather's clock. The simple minded old dame who served him talked volubly enough about the history of the clock which had come into her possession through the death of a great-aunt but she did not hint at any desire to sell 1t. and when an offer was made she vowed at first that she could not part with such a family relic Still she said. she was very poor-and the upshot of the conver- sation was that the cycist purchased the clock at what would have been a very fair price for a genuine article. Several months afterwards he chanced to stop again at the same cottage, and to his sur prise he saw there another old grand fathers clock while to complete the CO., incidence the old woman was telling very much the same tale as before to another customer This was disduieting, and when he got home the cyclist asked an expert to examine his clock. with the re- suit that 1t was pronounced to be bogus article worth about tenth of the sum he had paid for it. The probability Is that the artless old woman is selling such clocks on commission for some enterprise ing dealer. and when you come to think of it rural places of call for motorists and cyclists really provide unrivalled oppor- tunties for the business in "faked" an- tiquities and curiOs of all sorts.

WHEN POSTAGE WAS 25c.
Henry Wells Wanted 1t Reduced and
 Government Hailed Him to Court.

Edwin Markham in Success.
 Thomas Sherman says that in eighty years California went through the same progressive changes that In England re- quired a thousand years to accomplish. The history of the last half of these eventful years of the Pacific coast would, in no small part, be the history of the great Wels-Fargo Express company. Af- ter it's establishment, in 1852. the com pany rapidly absorbed all other lines of the state. and was the banker, mail car rier. and earrand-runner for every city, camp, or cabin in California.
 Henry Wells and William G. Fargo were veterans of the express service before we find their names coupled In that union, as closely identified with the west as are the quartz and granite of her hills. Wells was Harnden's agent in Albany in the first branch establishment there, and, in 1884, he. with others, planted the first ex- press office of the west" This was at Buffalo-an outpost then four days and three nights from New York, almost as far as California Is todayl Fargo was express messenger for Wells on this Buff falo line In 1S45, Wells. ever lured to- ward the west, ever tracking the frontier, pushed out his express to St. Louis Chi- cago and Cincinnati. On account of his fine tact and Iron resolution, Fargo was chosen as manager of this unique and ad- venturous enterprise. Here in this un- josted space. with his convoy of boats and wagons, he won a large experience in his work.
 Wells. ever fertile In ideas and quick to give them shape, now set on foot q letter express at one-fourth the price charged by the government-six cents, in- stead of twenty-five. Immediately the government was hot upon his track. He was haled into court again and again but was always victorious Then the audacious expressman proposed to the as- slstant postmaster to take charge of the entire mail service of the United States.

Government pupes Public.

That the government should be in prae- tical partnership with lot of individuals and firms who are engaged in the repre- hensible business of putting on the mar ket impure and consequently deleterious brands of whisky, would seem incredible, but such is the fact It Is made clear as day by person signing himself "A Reve- nue Official" in a number of letters to one of the daily papers. He shows that many of the so-called "blends' that are made up in the government bonded ware houses consist of nothing but raw grain patent spirits, though a small portion of malt whisky is sometimes used. One choice blend of the latter kind, made up in a warehouse in Scotland, was form ed of 600 gallons of English spirit from Liverpool and London, 13o0 gallons of raw grain patent spirit distilled in Scotland and 400 gallons of Highland and Lowland malt whisky a little over one year old But he states that there are worse blends than these. He writes: English spirit by Itself Is every week being made up and sent out as Irish and Scotch whis- key. It is simply reduced, colored and bottled and labelled 'Sotch or Irish ac- cording to the needs of the customer And all this takes place in the bonded warehouses of the country. with the full cognizance and consent of our excise and customs officials, who are actually cau- toned not to interfere"

HOW FAKE WHISKY IS SOLD
ey HENRY pEvEREAux.

London. March 5.-(Special)-If we may believe Mir. Gerald Balfour, Joseph Cham berlain is no longer to dictate the policy of the party. The cabinet, according to him, is strong free trade and intends to remain so. It will not approve of any taxes imposed for the sake of protee- ton. It will have nothing to do with food taxes, or taxes either on raw material or on manufactured goods. It's policy will be to keep the present parliament going as long as 1t can, and then at the next general election to ask the county to declare that it might be desirable in eer- tain cases to endeavor to secure ourselves against unfair fiscal treatment by the threat of retaliation-provided we do not injure ourselves by the game of bluff. MT. Balfour doubts that we could really do anything in the way of retaliation as against the United States, and he seems to put Russia In the same category. As against France or Germany we might gain something If parliament approves this programme. all action in regard to Chamberlainism will be deferred until there has been another general election. I do not think this scheme will work The leading men of the party has resigned be-
 cause as free traders they declined to act with MT. Balfour. Most of the present ministers have declared themselves at one with Mr. Chamberlain, and, as Sir Michael Hicks Beach said, they ought to resign now that the Chamberlain fiscal scheme has been thrown over. ThA fact Is that the ministers as individuals, ex- press one opinion, while, collectively they declare for precisely the reverse of 1t.

Six Stitches In Ills Heart.

Philadelphia, March 5.-Thomas Emer- son, a colored man, who was stabbed in the heart Monday by his sweetheart, has been the subject of an unusual operation. His heart was lifted out of the body and six stitches were taken to close the big gash made by the negress' knife. The organ was replaced and Emerson is re- covering.
 After the assault Emerson walked with out assistance to the hospital, distance of five blocks, and was put under the in- fiuence of ether as soon as the wound had been examined. On the operating table. the heart was exposed by long in- cision which necessitated the breaking Of several ribs.
 The operating surgeon inserted two fin- gers and lifted out, the heart. It was drawn out of the trunk. yet 1t went on with its work with almost normal steadi- ness and regularity. The cut was large one and required six stitches. The pieura was opened and gathering of blood re- moved

How Styles In Shoes Are Introduced.

From the Evening Wisconsin.
 The manufacturers of shoes get out new styles every season." said Lyman E. Goss, and try to work up big sales, but it Is the public which decides wheth- CT the styles will be popular or not. The men who set the styles in hats and cloaks for women can be as arbitrary as they please. The women will follow them to any extreme but show a man a shoe that looks to him ridiculous and he will not have anything to do with It. He would rather be out of style than un- comfortable or ridiculous. And so the manufacturers arc careful not to make much of an outlay until they find out how the new styles will go with the peo- pie. They prepare, say sixty lasts and make up samples at an expense of only few dollars. The salesmen take these out throug h the country. and if orders begin to come in the manufacturers pre- pare to make them in large quantities.
