HOW Thackerax Worked.

When Thackeray was in Richmond,
Va, during his visit to the United
States, John Esten Cooke asked him
if he ever dictated his words to an
amanuensis. Thackeray answered
that he composed a good deal in this
way. The whole of "Esmond" was
dictated, he said, an assurance that
will surprise most admirers Of that
finished work.. Thackeray added:
II also dictated all of 'Pendennis.'
can't say 1 think much of 'Penden-
nis'-at least of the execution. 1t
certainly drags about the middle, but
had an attack of illness about the
time reached that part of the book,
and could not make it any better than
it is"

sembled them and ushered them
out ahead of her just as any obscure
and unobserved mother does. The
simplicity and lack of self-conscious-
ness OF the entire party constituted
picture not to be forgotten and as
a lesson against race suicide it may
be doubted if even the presidents
speeches and letters on that subject
have been more eloquent. In the
Senate and diplomatic galleries
there was probably not half dozen
mothers who would have under
taken to manage alone six children
at tedious ceremony, nor scarcely
that many who would not have
been embarrassed to appear with a
child unaccompanied by a maid.
The simple motherliness of the first
lady in the land was therefore most
impressive, and the domesticity of
the entire scene made an appeal to
every one present irrespective of
party or feeling toward the presi-
dent.
The President seems to be practi-
cally interchangeable. His work
Saturday beginning with break
fast with twenty guests, the signing
OF bills at the capitol, the ceremony
OF the Vice-Presidential Inaugural
ton, and the swearing in of the
new senators, his own Inauguration
and a speech delivered in high
wind, luncheon with two hundred
people, the reviewing of the parade
consuming five hours, a reception
to the Rough Riders, cowboys and
Harvard club, dinner with many
guests and the Inaugural ball where
he renamed and which he appar-
emily enjoyed to the utmost, until
11:3o oclock-all this left his un-
fatigued and fresh as ever the next
day. Apparently these is nothing
that can make the president tired
but the senate.
1t is stated by a we'll known
bacteriologist that a ten dollar bill
will accumulate $4,000 microbes
in a month. This will furnish. the
extravaganza man another excuse
for'not keeping his ten sdollar bills
a month.
The House ofls|Representatives
voted it's $3.50, 900 worthAof imagin-
airy mileage (Which 1.-THE Senate
strangled, but it forgot to raise the
presidents salary.

Somebody sent a bomb to Senator

SHAWS' SHOULDERS
 GETS S6OOO VERDICT
Novel Plea is Made in Louisville by Counsel for Young Woman
 Seeking Damages.

Louisville, December 24.-(Special.) J. shoulders and a more than feeting vision of white neck chest and arms and a taperng waist had anything to do with the jurys decision must ever be a moot ed question, but shortly after these things had been seen d verdict for 5000 was rem dered in favor of Mss Stella Reseher ot Jeffersonville in a suit for damages. The defendants were the louisville. Tender son and St. Louis railway. the -<inois Central and the Louisville Railway com pany. The first named corporation was exonerated, but 5000 was assessed against the Illinois Central and 5000 against the street railway company.
 Miss Rescher is 23 years old and very stylish. A collision In which she received her injuries occurred nearly year ago and twenty others were hurt. Ii was contended by Miss Rescher that the street car in which she was riding was run down by Il Henderson route train using the Illinois Central tracks. and that she sustained injuries about her neck, shoulders and side that incapaci- tated her.
 This afternoon her attorney sprung q surprise He asked Miss Reseher to step to the stand and remove her clothing so that the jury might see the extent of her injuries First blushlng furiously and then realizing that 1t had to be done. Miss Reseher with becoming modesty, removed the garments necessary In order that the jurors might examine. They did. They nodded wisely to each other, and ten minutes after retiring brought in the yer diet for 5000

perity in both the south and the west. For some time to come they are likely to be large consumers of all the necessi- ties and many of the luxuries of life.
 Our industrial classes are also well employed and at high rates of wages. They too as a class are enjoying more of the necessities and luxuries of life than usual. Our mineral industries are going through a wonderful stage of devel- opment and earning large dividends. The only thing in sight to hinder a continu- ance of our industrial activity is our financial excesses, and 1t would be far better to recognize ths fact at once and put on the brakes than to allow indiscre- tons and abuses to progress until seri- ous collapse is invited. l wish 1t to be distinctly understood that l am optimistic regarding business prospects; but Wall street, as is frequently the case, Is in- olined to overdiscount the future, and the overdiscounting is likely to become much greater than usual. The remedy which is contracton-may be unpleasant. but it may soon be necessary. Many stocks have gone from strong into weak hands, and this process will be con tinued unless the note of caution is sounded wide and strong For the pres ent we advise gradually taking profits on the bulges. The country is safe and sound but 1t is a good time to prepare for squalls when sunshine is most bril- liant.
 The mystery overhanging the market for long time in connection with the Tennessee Coalf and Iron company has been solved by the recent change in ownership and the managers and direc- tors of the property. The previous mys- tery attending Rock Island, causing it's preferred and common shares to decline, while all other stocks were advancing, has also become known There still remains a mystery regarding New York Central and Union Pacific in connection with their recent large advances. The mystery Is deepened in connection with Union Pacific by its going up and South ern Pacific at the same time going down. The effect of these mysteries upon the market. however. seems to have been pretty well discounted. The question now is, what next? The stock market on the present high level of prices is not likely to be as lively in its upward movement after all mysteries solved, and it may remind one of the last call for din- ner on railroad dining car-usually too late to get a square meal.
