BEGINNING of the Eiuht.

About this time began the greatest
huckctshop fight in the history of the
United States, the effort of the Minneapo-
lis Chamber of Commerce to prevent the
use Of the quotations originating on the
floor in the buckctshops. the chamber
fought Hammond by legal means, and tho
case now before the United States SUI
preme court regarding the property rights
of an exchange in its quotations came
about in part from this fight. Nothing
could down Hammond, however. He
flonrished and extended his business IN
every direction.
The most sensational episode of this
bitter fight occurred on Saturday, January

For a long time the chamber had been
making trenuous efforts to stop the leak

has continued without interruption but with
varying rapidity, to the end OF the century
The greatest decreases were found In the dec
ades OF greatest immigration. and may have
been due Ia part 10 the disproportionate num-
her OF adults in the Immigrant population
The decreases IN the decades 1850 10 1860 anl
1890 TO 1900 were very slight. The fact that
these were the decades Immediately following

REMEMBER WOMAN'S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair, But the Power of Her Eye
 Is Potent.

\ woman's eyes are the first objects to attract mans attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair, the dimple in her chin and tho soft, sweet sound of her voice, the look in her eye remains with him, says an authority on the sub ject,
 He may not be able to single her may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with lot of others; the slippers she made him may have been worn out by his valet, but still some particular turn of her glance. some little trick of dropping her lashes or lifting her brown eyea will be as clear to him as the daylight away in his little satin-lined casket that glance will rise like Banquo's ghost at the feast and startle him just at the moment when the man is look. ing most intently into the eyes of an- other woman.
 It Is not the color of a woman's eyes which man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten a man will turn from the glance of . pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the red headed girl on the other side of tho table, and many doll-like, blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-nosed. tawny-eyed woman has lured away her sweetheart.
 Ask any man the color of his sisters eyes and he will look at you blanksy. "Jove," he will remark, "I-I believe I've forgotten. But they're all right There's something about them that's catchy" And that is positively all tha. can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes were green or that Cleopatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with the machinations of those fascinating la dies, nor dulled their regulations as coQuettes. Color, size and shape may make an eye beautiful. but they never can give it that something which so many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess. the power to make a man break bank or sell his overcoat in order to give his wife what she wants.
 When the world was sentimental men called 1t "soui." Then they grew practical and apathetic and they callef 1t character" But no man will evcs know what it is any moro than he viii ever know why he married tho particu. lar woman he picked out or why the cook has left. It is . question as subtle and elusive aS either ef th4sA

Goes Unpunished.

'Subornation of perjury is not a crime in St. Louis. It is a custom now. Nearly every in- terested party does it and they think nothing of it. Thus spoke Arthur Sager, circuit at- torney of St. Louis, in a news paper interview. This expres- sion leads to the observation that like tendencies may be discov- cred in other cities. Prosecu- tions for subornation of perjury are SO rare that the crime may be said to go practically unpun- ished, and unless a crime is pun ished it's perpetration will be- come more frequent. - Little Rock Democrat.

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Wsrs worked by HexA1 Americans with . Genius fer
 InNomkioa.

A young man whe at 3l1haA been bs- fore the mast. had worked iA tho chemical department of mill and had lectured upon nitrous-oKids gas throughout the country patented the rotating chamber for . pistol. It was not considered particularly valuable ua. til after his first company that made 1t had failed and fights in Texas and witt the Seminoles in Florida proved its worth. The Mexican war made . le- mand for it.
 The same mechanic. says the Worlds Work, who did 90 much for early ax-making developed details In revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner was probably the irst man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense, and he was the first to lay . submarine electric cable. One day . young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you do?" asked the su- perintendent.
 "I'm a machinist, toolmaker and a iiesinker and I can play a horn in a band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac tory, and by another invention saved the company $50,000 on contracts ai- ready made. Later, with sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half Since that time he has made forgings by the use Of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron. steel and copper. An example of his in yentive genius IS the instance of hia forging offhand from single piece of copper .commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such scheme was i'm possible
