MONEY HAD BEEN PASSED OUT.
Nothing Left for Visitors After Wife
Had Called.


A brother of Capt. Gridley of you

fame, is chief of the redemption divis-
ion of the treasury. That's where the
old paper money is counted and made
ready for the machine which grinds it
to pulp. He has wife, and, woman
like, she gets around on pay day to
relieve her lord and master of the
trouble of spending it all.
That is she used to come around in
his working place to get what was
coming to her, but she won't ever do
it again.
She went there last pay day anC
talked with her husband through the
meshes of the stout wire screen that
inclOSeS all those who handle the
filthy stuff turned in for redemption.
She made the fortnightly touch just
as a crowd, under the guidance of a
messenger, was moving away from the
screen. Mr.. Gridley dutifully passed
out a roll of bills
One of the women in the party came
running back filled with excitement.
ooh, please, mister, Il like to get
some of that money!" she exclaimed,
regarding Gridley with a beaming
countenance. Poor Gridley, didn't
catch the drift of her remarks, so he
just said: Il beg pardon, madam"
Il said I'd like some of that money"
she repeated. By that time Mrs. Grid
ley had looked at her husband with
scorn in her eyes. Then she Caught

You're too late" she remarked,
sweetly. I'm his wife, and I don't
think he has any left.''-Pittsburg Dis

When Koreans Go CALLING.

Korean visiting cards sometimes
measure foot square. The savages
of Dahomey announce an intended
visit by sending in advance a wooden
board or the branch of a tree artistic
ally carved When the visit is paid
the card is returned to the posses
sion of its owner, who will doubtless
use it for many years. With the ma
tives of Sumatra the visiting card is
composed of piece of wood about a
foot long, decorated with a bunch OF
straw and a knife.

The wood most commonly sought
for making pencils is Virginia or red
cedar, which grows abundantly in the
South, especially in Alabama and
Florida. Europe, having nothing as
good among its own trees for pencil
covering as Virginia cedar, obtains
its supply of this material from the
United States. But the American
manufacturer is compelled to go
abroad for the graphite contained in
pencils. Mexico, Bohemia, Ceylon and
Siberia yield the best qualities of
graphite. The preparation of graphite,
of which, with clay, pencil lead con-
sists, is an important industry in itself,
and it has its home in Germany.

It has been suggested that in
asmuch as it will be impossible
to have a farmers institute at
this place this year on account
of no funds to pay instructors,
that it would be good thing to
have an institute anyway and Sc
cure local talent to instruct. The
idea appeal to the COURIER as
being one worthy of considera.
ton. There are many farmers
in this county now who can get
up and give some good ideas on
different subjects of interest to
the farming community and
there is no reason why an in
stitute of this kind could not be
made q success. If a move of
this kind is to be carried out it
will have to be done soon as
the season is rapidly slipping by.
The COURIER would be pleased to
receive opinions on this PROPOSE
tion.

Resubmission is dead 80 far as
this session of the legislature
is concerned. Representative
Streeter, of Emmons county in.
troduced a bill providing for
local option and high license.
The house put the measure to
sleep last Friday by the decisive
vote of SO to 81, which shows
that the state is stronger for
prohibition than ever before.
The action of the house in this
matter is to be commended and
the COURIER is pleased that no
backward step was taken. The
representatives from this dis
trict Messrs. Hemmingsen Pal
frey and Stavens voted right
and are representing their dis
trict in creditable manner.

Representative McCrea has
introduced q bill making it a mis-.

bucket shops in this state.
Gambling in options is one of
the worst forms of gambling
and we believe that the bill is of
sufficient merit to call for it's
passage and approval.

The newspapers who are op-
posed to the prohibitory law
think it is no more than right
that the resubmissionists should
have q chance to vote on the
question again, inasmuch as the
state had grown in population
since the last vote. This is q
very cunning argument on the
part of the aptis, but supposing
they had the whip hand would
they give the prohibitionists
another vote? Not on your life.
The best thing TO r prohibition
lists to do is to keep the saloon
element down for all time to
come.

CAT HAD DIPHTHERIA
House In Which Animal Was Under
 Treatment Fumiestsd.

Bridgeport, Sept 30-The board of health was called upon yesterday morning to fumigate the home of Kari Frauenbergcr at l92 Whitney avenue. where. after many days of tender nursing at the hands of a physician, the family cat bteathed it's last. death having been due. the doctor said. to diphtheria.
 The fact that tabby had that conts- giOus disease caused quite a scare tn the neIghhorh00d and hence the call upon the board of health.
 When the case was reported by tel ephone yesterday morning the board or healfh's officials were just a little skeptleal about the sincerity of the person at the other end Of the phone and thought that the matter might be joke.
 However. Inspector David Lynch was sent up to Whitney avenue with the proper disinfecfing material Co kfl the germs which might have been left fin the house by the dEminutive cat. The house was fumlEate.i and peace Of mind once more exists fn the neigh borhood and the likelihood of @ dlph- theria epidemic has been greatly re- duced.
