A Ludicrous Complaint.

The further complaint that the figures
for cost of living are based on retail
prices instead of wholesale can only be
understood by assuming that the use Of
the latter would have given the Demo
cratic campaign managers a little less
discomfort. Bulletin 53 clearly explains
the reasons for the use of retail prices
as a basis for cost of living in prefer
ence to the wholesale. 1t is true that
wholesale prices have been used at times
to indicate the trend OF cost OF living.
but they are considered by economists
as unrelia BILE for the purpose Of indicat-
ing the extent of the increase or 1e-
crease. Until the present day investiga-
ton by the Bureau Of Labor no records
of retail prices covering any consider
able period had ever been collected, ow-
ing to the very great expense Of making

Man ARainat Man.

When Senator Hanna, as chairman
Of the National Republican Commit
tee. was conducting the campaign in
1900 he was annoyed by a man who
applied for the position Of messenger
at the national headquarters. The man
called to see the Senator four days in
succession to present his applicat ton
and urge his claims.
After his fourth visit Senator Han
ma sent for the man who was serving
as messenger. "You saw that man
who was here just nowT inquired
Hanna.
"Yes, SIR" said the messenger
"Do you know what he wantsr"
"No, SIR"
"Well, he wants your place, and If
I see him again he will get It."
Senator Hanna never saw the per-
sistent applicant again.

Pin Prick Led to victorr.

Nelson gained his great victory of
the Nile through pin prick. 1t came
about in this way: Sir John Acton,
then commander In chief of the land
and sea forces of Naples, happened to
be in his wife's dressing room at the
moment she was preparing for dinner.
Lady Acton's French maid was also
In the room, and was so startled at
receiving a letter from her brother, a
sailor in the French navy, whom she
believed to be dead, that she ran
pin into her mistress flesh.
Apologlzing for her carelessness, the
maid stated the cause Of her sur
price. With carefully suppressed
ca gerness Sir John offered to read the
letter while the maid continued her
duties. The maid gladly consented.
Having read the letter, the COM
mander in chief left the house in
search of Lord Nelson, who had in
vain been seeking the French feet. He
found him and impaired to him the
contents Of the letter.
