TEE GIRL.

Really" she asked, ''do you think you could ever care for a girl who would hint to you before you had made any advances that she-admired you?"
 q think I could care very much for one girl to whom I have never dared make any advances if she were to let me discover that she admired me"
 "Oh Then there is one girl?' Do Know her?''
 You ought to- But people do not all ways know the ones they ought to--the ones they have the best opportunities for knowing"
 How interesting. I wonder who she is? Would you tell me if guessed her name?"
 "Yes. might even look toward her, so that you could have an idea"
 "Oh, but that wouldn't be fair. If I am to guess who she is mustn't have any help. Is she tall or sfort?n ! She's just tall enough. She has 8 splendid figure and she is the most beautiful girl in the world.
 But that's merely your opinion. Other people might not give that kind of description of her.
 Nobody with eyes could describe her in any other way Her mouth seems to have been made only for laughing and for kissing. I would be the happiest fellow in the world if might take her in my arms and
 That's just like you men" Miss Win7 ston interrupted. Why can't you look lat girls without wanting to take them in your arns?"
 'I can There's only one girl that have the slightest desire to take in my arms"
 And suppose it wouldn't make any difference to you whether she desired to be taken in your arms or not, if you might satisfy your longing to--to catch her and--to hold her for a n1oments Is that the way man feels? Is 1t like plucking a rose that fills us with glad ness! We just go and take the poor rose without considering whether it wants to be taken or not"
 No, It isn't exactly that way. I'd rather have this girl want me to take her. Still. if I couldn't make her think 1t fould be pleasant to nestle in my arms might be tempted to catch her

The Cleaning of the Den.

 I hear the steady humping on the car
 pet on the line; There are careless people dumping
 books and papers that are mine, They are tossing them and mixing them
 so I shall nevermore Get them put back in disrder as had
 them fixed before. They have gone in force and taken firm
 possession of my den; They have swiped my scattered pamph- lets and have burned them Ne CT
 again
 Shall find the tracts containing things
 I'd marked to read some time They are smoking in the alley-and the
 law permits the crime. They have robbed me of the cushion that
 was matted in my chair; They have put my pipes and ash-trays-
 well, can't explain just where; They are rubbing, they are serubbing
 there with all their might and
 main,
 And they shake their heads, assuming
 looks of sympathy and pain, Showing that they think I'm crazy for
 presuming to complain.

AoME ouEER rAIK.

The Rev. ". S. McIntire of New Lon-
 don says: The young wife should be prudent in her expenditures. During the struggles of. the early days of married life she should share the privations in-
 cident to the building of the new home.
 It does not look well for a wife to be
 dressed finely in the latest fashions and
 for the husband to be wearing clothes of four or five seasons ago.
 Doubtless such talk as this will please some of the young men who would like to marry if they thought they could
 afford to, but is there anything in it to
 which the young women of the day need give moments notice? Is there anything as important in this world, or in any other, as for the young wife to be dressed finely in the latest fashions,
 and does it make any difference how far behind the fashions or anything else the young husband is, so long as he is useful in keeping the young wife in
 up-to-date clothes? What is young
 husband for, or an old one? Isn't it easy and pleasantly exciting to get a
 divorce if the husband doesn't suit and try again? What is there in marriage anyway for a young woman but good
 clothes and good time? If she can't
 get those isn't marriage a failure?

 The officers of the Security Trust and Life Insurance company of New York have just had an experience. They ad- vertised for "a boy, sixteen years old, good at figures; $10 week to com mence." Tn answer, thirty-four appli- cants presented themselves, of whom nineteen were promptly rejected be- cause they wrote an abominable hand and were deficient in spelling. The re- maining fifteen were asked to find the interest on s120.SO for four months and fifteen days at five per cent. Only two were equal to the task, the answers of the other thirteen ranging from $2 to s4S1.44. Every one of the thirty-four boys was graduated from a grammar school. and several of them had been two years in high school
 It is reported that the insurance men think there is something wrong with a school system that turns out such scholars But probably they asked the boys about things which they didn't know about. Perhaps the boys could have dissected clam or drawn pie ture of teapot.

HfGH FINANCE.

Some Of the finance of the last few years in this country has been pretty |high. For instance, Amalgamated Copper, in the formation of which some good men and true are supposed to have made anywhere from SAG, ,000, 900 to $60 100000. The Shipyards trust and several others might also be mentioned as illustra tions of how high financiers |can and do work things and men. The schemes Of these financiers have been grand ones There can be no doubt of that. And grandly have they succeed ed in some cases. But perhaps none more efficient than the one contrived
 by the just busted" Globe Securities company to breed confidence. The vault of this company had a door of real steel for the inspection of depositors, while the walls of the vault were of tin paint ed to look like steel and there was a
 wooden door at the back through which any Of those in the secret could |enter at any time and rife any securi- ties there may have been on deposit.
 Whats the use of trying to keep money in the face of such attractions as the high fnanciers present? They need it and they know how to get it.

WHEN THE WORM TURNED

There is a young wife in this town who naturally enough brides herself upon the trim daintiness of her shoes, and in order to live up to her reputation for small hands and feet she very prop erly refuses to purchase footwear that would warrant the phrase, "As easy as an old shoe'' on first wearing. There is la period of what is termed breaking in'' her shoes, and her husbands unfeel- ing habit on such occasions has been to cheerfully inquire, Why don't you get shoes to fit you?''

The Providence Journal points out that whatever the final result of the Shoot Investigation, it has already gone far enough to prove the thoroughness with which the Mormons have the poli- tics of their State in the control of their church. It has been shown, for exam pie, that not one of the Mormon wit nesses, when brought to the test of re- gard for the sanctity of an oath, would hesitate to commit perjury under the direction of the heirarchy The com mands of the church are not only law for the Mormons but they are above all other law, human or divine. In politics in particular, though the parties go through the forms in use elsewhere, whenever there is any issue of inn portance involved the church authori- ties in Salt Lake City give the election to that party which is committed to the church side of the question.

During the meeting of the Louisville Presbytery last week, Delegate flaw thorne, of Princeton, told this story of pioneer days, and vouched for it's ac- curacy: One of the circuit riders in my part of the state was extremely fond of pepper sauce, and as he could seldom find any strong enough at places where he stopped, he always carried bottle with him. He happened to be at a hotel one night, though he usually stopped at the home of friend. A man sat across the table from him, and, seeing the sauce asked if the minister would share it with him. The request was granted, and the stranger poured out liberal
 allowance of the sauce into his soup. At the first swallow, he made wry face and blurted out: Minister, do you preach hell?" Yes, brother" was the reply. Why do you ask?'' Because

Charles M. Schwab will soon see one of his cherished schemes realized. For three years the steel magnate has been planning a efildren's health and fun resort for New York. The resort is lo- cated on Staten Island and consists of an extensive park in which are all sorts of contrivances for ministering to the pleasure of little ones. A big boat will ply between there and the city, and the plan is to take about 1000 children every day in summer and bring them back in the early evening. Trained nurses, guards and private po- licemen will see that the visitors are properly cared for. In the big pavilion every day a lunch will be served, and the rest os the time will be spent mostly in bathing, wading and playing around in the sand

SLUG AND ROB MINER NEAR GEN.

Victim of Highwaymen Found Wan
dering AimIessIy About by Pc.
liceman and Night Waterman.

Butte, Dec. 13.-In a dazed condi-
ton and with blood streaming from
cuts in the head and across the face,
John Phillips, shift boss at the Never
sweat mine, was found at l o'clock
yesterday morning wandering aim
lessly about the yard at the Original
mine. The Waterman caught sight OF
him first, and soon after Police OH
Ger MCGOWAN was summoned to the
scene. 1t was only after he was re-
vived with stimulants and his wounds
washed up that Phillips could intelli-
gently tell what had happened to him.
He said he was held up by footpads
at the corner OF Park and Washington
streets, beaten into a helpless condi-
ton and robbed of $35. This took
place as he was on his way home on
South Washington street. He could
give no definite description OF his as
s%ailants, being slugged from behind
before he was aware of an attack.
After that he said everything seemed
to be going round and all was black
ness before his eyes. Asked if he
knew how he happened to come up the
hill, he said he thought he was pur-
suing his way homeward. His injur-
les will not prove serious. He sus-
tanned two nasty gashes, one about
three inches long on the right side OF
the back of his head, and another
cross the nose, the flesh being opened
up to the bone. Both cuts were evil
IDENTIFY made by some blunt instru-
ment, probably a slugshot. The police
are working on the case, out without
much hope of success.

Another Order Is Made In Newton
Bankrupt Estate.


From Tuesdays Daily.
Further complications have arisen
in the bankrupt estate of A. o. New
ton of Livingston, which Referee
Firth has been trying to close for sey-
eral months. AN order was made by
him directing the sale OF some cleo
trio light material belonging to the
estate and November Is was set as the
date for the sale. The trustees re-
ceived no bids and q few days subse-
quently was offered $500 for the stuff
by H. L. Frank, n of the creditors.
This offer Jacob F. Sohl increased by
$25 and he was awarded the lot. Then
Frank turned in and objected to the
sale and Mr.. Firth made an order va
eating it and directed the trustee to
advertise another auction, this time
for December Is. Now comes Sohl
and asks that he vacate the last order
and make another confirming the sale
as made to him. This will necessitate
another hearing and further expense.

IRISH CHAMPION THE LOSER.
Carr Defeated Daily in a Three
Mile Race.

New York, Dec. 13.-John DAILY, the

the conqueror of John Joyce, the for
he won from Joyce when he was de-
-feated Monday in a three-mile match
race at Celtic park by Edward p.
Carr, if the Xavier Athletic associa.
ton. The local athlete, who restored
the prestige Oh the American runners,
played a waiting game.
He permitted DAILY to set the pace
almost all the way, and then won out
by a smashing sprint in the last 100
yards. Carr snapped the line at the
finish five yards ahead of the big
Galway man. The time, 1897 1-5, was
a rare performance, considering the
weather conditions. Daily went to the
front at the start and registered the
half mile in two minutes and "a Sec
onds. From that point until after the
first mile was covered Daily had the
pace. The three-quarters went in
three minutes and 81 seconds, and the
mile in five minutes and 10 seconds.
The second mile was slower, although
Carr enlivened matters a little at the
mile and a half. The mile and a half
went in minutes and So seconds.
The two-mile mark was reached in
10 minutes and SO seconds. When the
bell signaling the final lap rang Daily
was a yard in advance. About 200
yards from home, Carr made a des-
perate bid for the lead. At 70 yards
he was on even terms, and then he
mashed by DAILY and won out.
