The March fire loss In the United
States and Canada aggregated $14,715,-
600, being smaller than the loss for
either Of the preceding four months Of
1905, but considerably larger than the
March loss in 1904 or 1903. The loss for
the first quarter Of 1905 is 60 per cent.
smaller than for the corresponding
period of 1904, but the corresponding
period of 1905 was abnormal, for Febru-
airy, 1904, was the month of the confia-
grafton at Baltimore. In the first quar-
ter of 1903 the fire loss was $39, 1854, 800.
This was $17,519,700 less than the fire
loss for the first quarter Of the present

used to know a girl that left home to go
out into the world and earn her own liv-
ing. She elocuted some at private par
ties and sanitariums, to entertain peo-
pie that were daffy, and were on the
verge of getting permanent bats in their
beIfry, and after few years she got on
the stage, and made a bunch Of money,

her when we got over here. Ma didn't

r. r. Robinson, Of Elmira, N. Y, told
Che Kansas City Star the following story
on a minister who is friend Of his:
Now, while this clergyman is not an
Englishman, / believe he inclines that
way, or at least bis sense Of humor does"
said Mfr. Robinson. "A few days ago
a man at a little dinner propounded the
following: Why is tin can tied to

This made quite q hit with the rec

their bank accounts straight, could give
those old Claude Duyals and Sixteen
String Jacks cards and spades.
But civilization. dad says, has done
much for the highway robbery business,
and he says we in America have arrived
at absolute perfection. However. I was
much interested in looking over the.
ground where my first heroes lived and
died, and did business, and when We
went to the prisons where they were
confined. and were shown where Ty-
burn Tree stood, that SO many Of them
we're hung on, tears came to my eyes
at the thought that was on the sacred
ground where my heroes croaked, and
went to their deaths with smiles on their
faces. and polite to the last. The guard
who showed us around thought that dad
and L were relatives of the deceased
.highwaymen, and when we went away
he said to dad: Call again, Mr.. Duval.
Always glad to serve any Of the descend
ants of the heroes. What line OF robbery
are you In, Mr.. Duval?" Dad was mad.
but he told the guard he was now on the
stock exchange, and so we maintained
the reputation OF the family.
y Then we hired horses and took horse
back ride through Rotten Row, where
everybody In London that has the price,
rides a horse. and no carriages are al
lowed. Dad was an old cavalry man
forty years ago, and he Is stuck on his
shape when he is on horse, but he came
near breaking up the horse back parade
the day we went for the ride. The liv-
sryman gave US two bob-tailed nags. q
big one for dad and small one for me,
but they didn't have any army saddle for
dad, and he had to ride on one of these
little English saddles, such as jockeys
ride races on, and dad Is SO big where
he sits on saddle that you couldn't see
the saddle, and guess they gave dad
q hurdle jumper. because when we got
right amongst the riders, men and wom-
en-, his horse began to act up. and some
one yelled, "Tally-ho." and that Is
something about fox hunting, not a
coach, and the horse jumped fence and
dad rolled OF over the bowsprit and went

where he didn't know any titled persons.
That night . couple of dukes came
around to the hotel to sell dad some
stock In diamond mine in South Africa,
and they got to talking about how Eng
lish society held over our crude Ameri-
can society, until dad got an addition to
the mad he had when he called on our
girl, and when one OF the dukes said
America was being helped socially by
the marriage OF American women to
titled persons. dad got hot box, like
stalled freight train.
Says dad. says he: you Johnnies

only to rope In rich American girls, SO

tates. and put on tin roofs In place Of the

Skate: Well, II we are going to see any
of the other countries on this side OF
the water before our return ticket ex-
pires. We have got to be getting move
on, and dad says In about week we will
be doing stunts in Paris that will bring
about revolution, and wind up the re-
public of France, and seat some nine
spot on the throne that Napoleon used
to wear out his buckskin pants on.
Dad asked me tother day what cared
most to see In London, and told him
l wanted to visit Newgate prison, and
the places made famous by the bold
highwaymen of a century or two ago.
He thought was daffy, but when told
him how had read Claude Duval' and
"Sixteen-String Jack" and all the high
way literature, in the haymow, when dad
thought l was wedding the garden, he
confessed that he used to hunt those
yellow covered books out of the manger
when I was not reading them, and that
he had read them all himself, when
thought he was studying for his cam
paign speeches, and so he said he would
go with me. So we visited Homestead
Heath, where Claude Duval used to ride

Travelled at night in post chaises, and VIC

been more highway robbery going on
than any place east of Missouri, but
was disguised when thought what
chumps those old highway robbers we're,
compared to the American highway rob-
bers and hold up men Of the present day.
In Claude Duval's time he had brace
OF fiint-lock pistols, which he had to ex-
anime the printing every time victim
showed up, and while he was polite
when he robbed a duchess, he used to kill
people all right, though II they had had
cameras at that time the flash from the
printing pan would have taken a flash
light picture of the robber, so he could
have been identified when he rode of in
the night to roadside inn and filled up
on beer, while he counted the ten shil-
lings he had taken from the silk purse
of the victim. Why, one of our Ameri-
can gangs that hold up train, and get

passengers with Winchesters and au-
tomato pistols, and blows up cars with

AMERICA SUPREME IN TRADE
Statistics Show Conclusively That
This Country Leads the World
in Commerce.

During the last month, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the facts as to
Americas relaive position, industrially,
among other nations. have studied the
statistical reports of our own and other
leading nations, says a writer in Cent
Per Cent, and the investigations and
comment Of almost every important
daily and financial journal in America
The universal verdict of the press, ire
spective Of party affiliations, is that
Americas supremacy has been estab-
lished and that the nation faces the
dawn Of 1905 steadied by the knowledge
Of the stupendous truth that, CONNER
cially, among the other nations Of the
world, she stands for the first time in
the forefront and alone. The RESPONSE
bility which comes with such knowledge
IL SOLDERING.
But the report Of the bureau OF statis-
tics of the government department OF
commerce will Of course carry, greater
conviction than the news reports and
opinions of even the most reliable jour-
nails. This reports figures are in all
cases estimates, except Of the census or
1900, but are approximately accurate:
however, for the most important items
the actual figures are available.
In cotton consumption the percentage
of increase between 1880 and 1903 In the
United States is 107 per cent, as against
46 per cent. in the united kingdom, Ger
many and France combined; in pig iron
437 per cent OF increase for America,
against 102 per cent. increase in the
united kingdom. Germany, France and
Russia combined; in coal 1854 per cent.
increase In america, against 80 per cent.
increase in, the four European countries
combined. - e
And as the percentage OF increase is
larger, so the actual quantities Of these
three articles consumed are larger. The
consumption Of cotton in the United
States In 1893 exceeded by SO per cent
that Of the united Kingdom and was
nearly double that of Germany and
France combined; of pig iron, the con-
sumption in the United States was con-
siderably more than double that OF the
united kingdom; Of coal. the consump-
tion in the United States was nearly
double that Of the united kingdom and
fully double that of Germany.
America has 100000 people, a total
wealth of s106. .0Oo. 900, and the cash
value OF the cotton. corn and wheat
crops for the year is about 2.012, 900. 900.
The new year will be one Of almost I'M
paralleIed prosperity.

body. Ihad q great deal Of pain in the
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. Ny kidneys

he was asked.
"No, simply wouldn't. My head
and my back achcd dreadfully, but !
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to

What did You do to get relief"
"First I tried q doctor, but no did me
no good. Then took all kinds Of ad-
vcrtised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills. AZ soon as got them ]
knew that had nt Last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. ! think I was
