Gone Fishing.

A gentleman who sought and found
''perfect rest and quiet" in a rural
neighborhood ten miles from a railroad
and three from a postoffice last sum-
mer. found also that he was free from
some of the things which one some
times finds ones self in imperative
need in any locality, says Lippincott's.
One morning he developed racking
toothache that soon puffed his cheek
out to twice it's natural size.
"Yaas," said the farmer with whom
the boarder was finding rest and
quiet" that is toothpuller daown in
the village. / dunno how much of a
raal dentist he is. but / know he pulls
| teeth"
Hieing himself to the Office of the
"toothpuller," the sufferer found a
sheet of writing paper pinned to the
| door on which was written: Have
went fishing. viii be back to-mor-
row; when patients will be attended to
| Immediately"
Thinking that the village doctor
might give some relief, the poor vic
tim went TO his Office only TO find a
| card on the door
Gone fishing Call again"
II may as well get my mail while
I am in the village though the dis
| appointed man.
The postoffice was closed. and while
the man was rafting the doorknob a
small boy came along and called
out:
"The Office is shet cause the post
master has went fishing. / reckon he'll
be back when the mail comes in to-
night"
There was a little drug store across
the street. but when he was ten feet
distant the man read on the door:
Gone fishing. Open tomorrow"
Disguised and defeated, the sufferer
turned to go back to his quiet and
restful retreat. when he met man on
the corner with a fishing pole on his
shoulder and an old tomato can in his
hand.
How're ye," accosted the man.

Tide of Prosperity Rising.

The gospel as taught these days is
that the process of Improvement will
be gradual and that until next au-
tumn it may be marked by numerous
minor reactions. The prophesy is all
most universally advanced, however.
that the tide of prosperity and BUSH
ness activity is again rising and that
the country is at the beginning Of an
other strong forward movement. To
use a familiar illustration, the con-
crete upon which the foundations are
to rest has hardened until 1t is now
safe to begin laying the walls" This
appears 70 be the commonly accepted
view Of the solvent interests. and the
spirit Of hopefulness clearly dominates
at this writing.

friends before his departure that he

issues of new bonds have been cleaned
up and the market is ripe for more.
Railroads which have been waiting for
the arrival of this propitious moment
will no doubt, be found equal to the
occasion and will give the public what
it clammors for. A recent estimate Of
bond issues likely to be made during
the next two years range from $780,
900 900 to $500, 900, 900, a large part of
which will be used in refunding older
issues and paying off note issues. The
remainder will go into improvements
and defray the cost of construction and
extensions already planned or under
way. The output of stocks and bonds
for new enterprises is at low ebb. This
is shown by the very small listings
on the Stock Exchange, the total for
the last six months having been only
Sal 900, 900 against more than $780,

An Historic Cafe.

The famous Hoffman House cafe di-
rectly across New street from these old
rookerles has also undergone trans
formation. This resort was for many
years presided over by Ed" S. Stokes
the slayer of Jim" Fisk, and once
owner of the Hoffman House at the in
tersection of Broadway and Fifth ave-
nue., the headquarters of the Demo-
cratic leaders for a generation. The
down town cafe was sadly down at
the heels when it last changed hands,
although a number of old stand-bys
remained loyal to it until the last.
Among its habitues was a celebrated
lawyer who had been leader in Con-
gress and a cabinet minister. This
man visited the cafe twenty times a
day, coming and going by himself,
standing up at the bar and drinking
each time solitary glass of beer or
mug of ale. He rarely exchanged a
word with anybody. except his favored
barkeeper. When the placed closed for

Another frequenter of the Hoffman
House cafe was the $4,000, 900 head of
a great banking house who for years,
made practice of taking his lunch
there. He occupied seat in a remote
corner of the big room with his back
to the angle, and small table in front
of him, upon which were unloaded
dozens of raw oysters. His invariable
lunch consisted of anywhere from three
TO five dozen oysters, and from one
quart to two quarts of champagne
which he consumed solitary and in
state. This glutonous old party has
also disappeared from the locality. He
is said to have established himself in

SOME ENGLISH MOBILES
OWN PLENTY OF LAND

We are used to reviling the LANDED
proprietor OF England, but the following,
taken from an English paper, shows that
some OF the English nobility need not SO
helress hunting 10 reclalm their property.
When one considers how small this
island of theirs and how many tens OF
thousands OF land owners clam share
of it, it seems incredible that one of them
can walk straight ahead Tor 100 miles
without setting loot on any soil but his
own; and yet this is the enviable boast Of
Lord Breadalbane. As matter of TACT,
it his lordships acres We're suitably dis
posed he would be able to ride all the
way on his own land from Brighton to
John o Greats, and claim every yard for
halt mile to right and left Of him.
And yet the marquis 100000 acres are
small compared with the far-reaching
lands of his grace of Sutherland, who in
his title county alone owns estates more
than six and half times the size of Mid
dlesex, to say nothing of his other acres,
which wou. almost make two counties
as large as Rutland. If all the dukes
land could Dc brought together within one
fence and Dunrobin castle placed in the
middle of Inc square, his grace could not
possibly luU foot on any other mans land
without travelling AS miles. The dukes
estates are nearly three times slarge
as JHc NoilDllSu uuCAltS VI AuAS-CODuAB
and Gotha.
Tho duke of Buccleuch is lord of so
many acres that he could give away half
dozen sites as large as the county OF
London and count his remaining acres in
five figures. Out of his 100000 acres he
might parcel out nine new counties of the
size of Kinross and preserve a remnant
of land 10 miles long and six and a half
miles wide. From his land his grace
draws the regal revenue of nearly 250,0O0
pounds sterling year.
The duke of Fife is credited with just
a shade undT 100000 acres, although the
number has been reduced in recent years.
Still. there are round dozen of counties
in Scotland each smaller than the dukes
private holding, from which he draws
revenue of over 10000 pounds sterling
year.
The duke of Richmond has more acres
than his grace of Fife, for they number no
fewer than 2S6,500 or rather more than
the entire county Of Stirling. If the dukes
acres were all in one estate he would have
to tramp over 100 miles to make tour of

to check Russian progress. A story
Is told of a Swedish landlord near
Helsingfors who was waited upon by
a body of his tenants. They told him
that he had been particularly kind and
they wished to tell him that when
Russia took the land away from him
to give to them, his tenants, thcy
would consent to let him have his
house with the grounds Immediately
around it.
Russian is now taught in all the
schools of inland. 1t is spoken in
the law courts and even in the tlnnisn
senate. 1t is used in all government
offices, and so far as Russians can
make it is becoming the language of
commerce. The peasants have been
won over to the Russian propaganda
and it is realized it Is only a question
of time when Finland is completely
Russified. But all this is bitter trag-
edy to the most intelligent of the peo-
pie of the country, who are the des-
cendants of Swedish ancestors living
in the towns.

an entirely different race, more nearly

TUNNEL UNDERTAKINGS
SEATTLE BUILDING

SEATTLE, Jan. 23.-The big brick
structure at the northwest corner of First
avenue and Pike street, known as the
York hotel, will have to be torn down as
the result of the boring of the Great
Northern tunnel. As result of its set
Ting the building was vacated several
weeks ago and an examination by the city
engineer confirms the rumor that the
building is dangerous and will have to be
torn down.
The York hotel, originally known as the
Palmer block, is five stories high and is
one of the early products of Seattles en-
terprise in the business section, and has
long been a familiar landmark on upper
First avenue, where, on account of the
topography of the ground. it presents a
most imposing appearance both from the
street and waterfront. 1t was erected
in 1889 by A. L. Palmer and is at present
leased to the Seattle Brewing & Mailing
company.

powers have been gradually stripped
from it until it amounts to little but
a sort of Greek chorus for Bobrikoff.
OF course he has been violently OPP
posed and for long time he satisfied
himself with simple Punishment for
his enemies. Most of them went to
Stockholm, where they keep up an
anti-Russian propaganda. Lately, how
ever, Bobrikon has decided to treat
recalcitrant Firms as ordinary Rus
slams would be treated in the same
case-that is, they are arrested and
packed off to Siberia without trial.
This has happeneL to several of the
most prominent Firms who opposed
Russian designs. Some of the smaller
fry have been arrested and moved
round from one Russian fortress to
another until their friends have lost
track of them. Whether they are
dead or in Siberia nobody knows.
Several people who took no politi-
cal part but were unwilling to live
in inland for a long time sought
freedom by emigration, and a great
number went to the United State.
Bobrikotf stopped TINS by passing an
edict that no Finn over IA years old
can leave the country without his spe-
cial permission.
The police are everywhere in Fin
land and nobody dares express his
opinion unless he is absolutely con-
WINGED of his audience and that there
are no eavesdroppers. Political talk
in a cafe is almost certain to be over
heard by a plain clothes detective put
there for the purpose, so there is very
little talk of any kind in the cafes for
fear some of it might be overheard
and misunderstood. Yet withal the
Firms are hopeless. They are not unit
ed, and there are only 100000 Of
them anyway. Against the Russian
empire with 130,0OO,0OO people they
would have about as much chance as
Rhode Island would have in rebellion
against the United States.
