Whatever doubts have existed as to
the utility of the Office Of prosecuting
agent must be somewhat relieved by
the news from Bridgeport that the
prosecuting agent of that county has
just made $500 so easily that people
gasped. The police of Bridgeport raid
ed a saloon in which liquor was said
to be sold on Sunday. They found and
arrested thirty-tWo men. The police
obtained the evidence and made the
arrest, and it is said the prosecuting
agent knew nothing of the affair until
he read Of it in newspaper. Now
whenever he prosecutes such a case he
gets SO. Therefore he appeared to
prosecute and as there were thirty-two
cases he made $32O.--Hartford Times
It's a great wonder lie didn't make a
bigger haul, for some of these prose
cutors have an eye to business and
make two or three complaints where
one would suffice, and they get their
''tenner' on each complaint. It is a
great law, surely, for the prosecutor.
Now If the state or city or town was
getting the $40, there would not be SO
much injustice. Why not wipe out the
present law and give US something that
will be not SO one-sided?

rHE UNDECIDED WOMAN.

Even in these triumphant times OF
the predominance of women we occa-
sionally-in fact, very often run
across the old-fashioned specimen
which might be called the undecided
woman, says the clever woman editor
of the Philadelphia Telegraph.
She is the woman who as child
could never tell whether she wanted
ginger cake of cookie and cried after
she had chosen the one because she
had not taken the other.
AS an older girl in school she can
not make up her mind which of the
girls she wants for friend, and so new
er has any.
as a young lady she is continually
in a muddle as to the color of every
dress she buys; and having bought
them, she never knows which to wear.
She is the same woman who darts
in and out of the elevator, or stands
with one foot in the elevator and one
on the floor, in great state of agi-
tation.
When she goes to get on a train
she is seized with a spasm of indecis-
ion at the steps of the car, thinking
perhaps she had better go on to the
next one
Having got in the car she meanders
slowly along the aisle and has all
sorts of trouble with her dress suit
case as she tries to decide what seat
to take.
How often has the most ungodIy
anger burned within me as | waited
back of such a woman for her to
make up her mind, meanwhile seeing
every seat in the car being taken. In
fact, many times / have felt that in
another moment I would snite her to

HOW TO TEST COFFEE.

Genuine roasted coffee, OF no matter
what quality, will not impart it's color
to cold water, nor will the bean lose
its smooth surface or hard, tough con-
sistency when subjected ito a soaking
of any duration; whereas chicory ana
other limitations become soft and
spongy when soaked and render the
water muddy, so that it is only neces-
sary to give the suspect a bath to de-
termine it's genuineness. OF course,
the bean must be tried before grind
ing and the water must be cold other
wise the test will not be conclusive
To one who is a lover of the steam
ing beverage that inyigorates without
intoxicating, or, on the other hand,
one experienced in handling coffee,
the nostrils and palate. are sufficient
to detect the spurious bean; for hui

high degree in Stimulating the appear

For several seasons, the bureau of
forestry has been making a careful
study of the timber resources of Ne
braska. This study will be carried still
further this summer. The survey In
the western portion of the state has
been completed, and reports on it are
now being prepared A direct result
Of the work in western Nebraska has
been the establishments of the Dismal
River and Niobrara forest reserves,
comprising some $4,000 acres in the
sand hills. These two reserves have
been surveyed, and planting operations
are under way on the former. Consid-
cradle work has also been done in east
ern Nebraska from time to time, and
a party under Frank G. Miller, of the
bureau of forestry, will continue the
investigation the present field season.
The territory to be covered includes all
that part of the state lying east Of the
ninety-ninth meridian Mr. Miller is
now in the field making preliminary
preparations for the investigation. and
his party will follow about July /. 1t
is expected that the field work will be
completed by October l.. The data col
lected in the meantime and the notes
now on file concerning this region will
be brought together in one report The
investigation will include careful
study Of both the natural and planted
timber. Nebraska is credited with hay
ing more than 100000 acres in forest
plantations, by far the larger portion Of
which lies within the region to be COW
cred by the study.
