SPENT ON WEATHER
1886, 1883 Cost Of Weather Bureau
for the Fiscal Year.

The annual report Of Willis NJ. Moore,
chief Of the weather bureau, has been
received at the local office. It is in
teresting reading from cover to covor
and contains much interesting and val
liable information. The magnitude Of
the work is made apparent by a few
figures. The total number Of salaried
employees in the service for the year
ending June 80 was $50. The total
value of real estate owned by the bu-
reau was $685. 62.67, divided among
twenty-nine stations. Six more build
ings are in the course of construction
at an estimated cost Of $53 900. Out
side Of Washington, D. c., the bureau
maintains 100 stations, manned BY 502
stations, including Washington and the
chief of the bureau, is $1,021. Salaries
range from $500, paid to beginners in
the unclassifed service, to $4,000, paid
the chief of the bureau. The estimated
total expenditure for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1905, was 1886, 1883,
which leaves an unexpended surplus of
$1,541.42. The increase of the 19O4-5
appropriation over that for the year
preceding was TIA per cent.

with Boy.

After being separated from his only
son since the latter's babyhood, Frank
Potter of st. Paul, went out to Los
Angeles to search for him, and recog-
nized him in beggar who asked him
for a dime with which to get some
thing to eat. The father declared him
self and the two will return together
to st. Paul this week.
Many years ago, while he was - a
ter's wife, a beautiful young woman,
was found by him to be faithless. He
shot and wounded the despoiler of his
home and, kissing his baby boy as he
lay in his cradle, fed the country. His
property at Kokomo stood in his wife s
name, as did his bank account. She

From that day the father heard moth

boys mother panied him keenly. Real

herself, she went rapidly downward, un.

in 1903 in Arizona. Up to the time

that he might find his mother in Los

"NOISY" CLOTHES FOR
CHRISTMAS OF MEN

Bright colors are getting to be
"the' thing in men s wearing apparel,
say the local haberdashers. ...
Suitings, ties and shirts, In colors
which no one need look twice to notice,
are what the real up-to-date young man
can wear and be "it.' e.
Waistcoats are more popular than
ever. They go in all colors, the hori-
zontal stripe, the vertical stripe and
the very latest the diagonal stripe. A
new waistcoat which the ultra dressers
may indulge in is Of white flannel with
edges and pockets trimmed with black
silk braid.
The Christmas displays of neckwear
show to what effect the rainbow is be-
ing copied in ties. Suitings are also
bright. There are browns Of every con-
ceivable pattern, with threads from va
rious portions Of the rainbow. -
Makers Of shirts are no longer salts
fed with stripes. They now make the
shirtings with corded stripes, both
| crosswise and lengthwise, and as for
| colors, there's everything. One new
effect listed among "the 1atest,' is q
shirt with a decided lavender cross
stripe, with corded white stripes run;
ming over it, 50 as to give it a check
effect. - \ =
There's everything to be found in
eolorings in men g dress today, and 1t s
up to the masculine public to "get in
line" if it would join "the bright

WOMAN GETS WORK
AS CHRISTMAS GIFT

Thru an article printed in T e
J ournal l, the penniless young woman
who asked Superintendent Barton of the
poor department for a position at liv-
ing wages as a Christmas present, was
visited by Santa Claus this morning:
The young woman was deserted by
her husband and was left with two
small children to care for. She tried
to get employment but in every place
at which she applied she was refused
because Of the children. Finally, she
appealed to the poor department, not
for food and fuel, but for work, and
the story of her hardship was published.
J. L. Derby, well-to-do farmer liv-
ing near Hermann, Mimi, rea d the
article and Immediately wrote to Su-
perintendent Barton saying he would
give the woman and her two children a
good home if she was willing. to take
the responsibility Of keeping a. big farm
house. Transportation will be furnished
her and she and her children will leave
for their new home in a few days.
