ETIQUETTE OF CALLS.
Some of the Things That Are and Ar
Not In Good Taste.

Some of the Things That Are and Are
Not In Good Taste. !
/ Every one is aware that a married
woman when paying formal call on
another married couple leaves two of
her husbands cards in the hall when
coming in or going out.
But every one does not know that
when the hostess is widow only one
card should be left.
Punctilious people always call at a
house from whence they have received
an invitation, and this whether it has
been declined or accepted. But with
the one exception of returning first
call, which should be done as reason
ably soon as possible, the question as
to what time should elapse between
social visits is one that must be left
to the good taste and good sense Of
the caller.
Many people with a large and in
creasing circle keep a book in which
they note the date of their calls, and In
this connection it should be stated that
it is compliment to call on the right
day-that is, when the hostess is
known to be at home to her friends.
It used to be considered the right
thing for a formal visit only to last
about a quarter Of an hour. It not iD-
frequently happens that an idle wom'
an will arrive early and stay late If
she happens to be amused and If she
has nowhere else to go. Such behavior
Is particularly inconsiderate when the
drawing room Of her hostess happens
to be small one and when other Wis
itors are many.
In the country long calls are, OF
course, permissible, but not in town.
Again, it is not good taste to make
appointments to meet friend at an
other friends house. and yet this Ii
frequently done, to the natural annoy
ance of the hostess, who feels that her
reception room is being used much az
might be station waiting room.-New
York American.

RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

United States, that have always
swung inward, were closed little.
1t is possible, perhaps, to absorb all
the foreign elements that have come
to this country, but the time has come
when the balance of our public do
main should be reserved for our own
meople. The time has come when a
halt should be called on the landing
ON our shores of the vast hordes OF
undesirable human beings who never
have been good citizens of any coun-
try and never will become good citi-
zens-peopae who swarm to the cities
and constitute an element inimical to
our civilization and exert an influence
through the liberality of our elective
franchise dangerous to our free insti-
buttons We have humanely and right
fully kept our doors open to the "op-
pressed of all nations" in the past but
we must not carry our liberality to a
point Of oppression to our own people.

Pioneer Press very APPLY says: ut

has heretofore bestowed it free upon
all corners has been abused. Through

lowest pay that would keep them
alive, they have constantly depressed
the wage-scale, forcing upon the work

of living. Too often they know moth
ing about American institutions, and
care less. In several of our states
they have filed the prisons, hospitals

Bought Farm With His Fish.

Riley Smith, a farmer near
Havana Ill, was enabled to buy
a farm this year by selling fish.
Several weeks ago, when the
the first high water came and
before the ice was out of the
lakes, the water backed up on
patch of ground owned by
Smith, and it was about three
feet deep. Smith noticed that
there were thousands of fish
working in there and decided
to seine them, He went to Ha
vaua, hired three seines and
an expert fisherman.
The first haul made was a
catch of 10000 pounds. For
three weeks he seined and haul
ed fish. and when the water
went down Smith had cleared
just 81, 900. de took the money
and bought a farm adjoining
his own,

The Fisher of Nippon,

Where row the brownie fisher

boats
Rock idly in the reedy meats;
His baby wife no more is
glad.
But yesterday, with all Nippon,
Beneath his pink-white cher
ry trees,
In chorus with his brown, sweet
bees,
He careless sang, and sang
right on,
Take care! for he has ceased to
sing;
His startled bees have taken
wing!
His cherry blossoms drop like
blood;
His bees begin to storm and
sting;
His seas fash lightning. and a
flood
OF crimson stains their wide,
white ring;
His battle ships belch hell, and
Nippon is but one Spartan
wall!I

Now holds the bearded Russ
at bay;
While blossom'd sleeps above,

Wait idly, still, as waiting
shrouds.

THREE OF CHICAGOS LARGEST FINAN GAL INSTITUTIONS
 HAVE SUSPENDED BUSINESS
STATEMENT IS MADE ON
 GOVERNMENTS POSITION

St. Petersburg, December 1S.-(Midnight) The following statement of the govern ment's position was made to the Assb- ciated Press tonight, and might be &C., cepted as authoritative:
 The government sincerely desired to introduce the new regime without having recourse to harsh measures but 1t re- ists or other moderates, while the pro- letarlat organizations under the leader ship of the socialists continued their mad campaign in favor of armed rebellion and openly melted the army and the navy to mutiny. The climax of this campaign was reached when efforts were made to at tack the credit of the house in the midst of a considerable panic. Had the govern ment allowed such efforts to go unchal- lenged it would have preeipitated com plete financial and industrial ruin.
 After all, self-preservation Is the first law of nature, and besides without the restoration of a semblance of order, 1t would be impossible to hold the elections for the douma. The case was a desperate one and 1t demanded a desperate remedy.
 "The government believes that the na- tural aims of the socialists have the sym pathy of only a fraction of the people and if their leaders should succeed to overthrowng the monarchy and placing their doctrines in practice, they would be swept out of existence by a counter revolution.
 Nevertheless the government Is on the horns of a dilemma, matter how honest its motives in the present state of
