TIE HOUSE IN TIE WOOD.
My words fairly startled the three
men out Of their anger. For mo.

seen ghost. Then the wine-merchant
clapped his hand on the table. "That

his companions. II think there can

But If he was startled, the innkeepe1
was furious, seeing his character thus
taken away; and, being at no time a
man of many words, he vented his rage
exactly in the way I wished. In a
twinkling he raised such an uproar as
can scarcely be conceived. With roar
like a bulls he ran headlong at the
table, and overturned it on the TOP OF

SWELL SUSPENDER BUCKLES
Jewel-Mounted 'sBraces'' for Which
Extremely High Prices
Are Paid,

For men who, in the way of braces.
like something rather more elaborate
than galluses of homespun, such as
lately were presented to Speaker Can
non, there are provided gold-mounted
suspenders, and these can be had in a
variety of styles and mountings.
The web Of the gold mounted sus-
penders is, of course, Of silk, and for
the most part of white silk, but they
can be had in any color desired.
Some of the gold 1aountings are ex-
tremely simple. The gold buckles and
end pieces on some of the smooth mar
row hard finished webs, for instance,
are as plain as the white metal fittings
on pair of suspenders that would
cost so cents.
Others have BUCKLES that are some
what larger and more ornamental in
shape, and either embossed or en-
graved with a pattern. Some Of these
are set with small sapphires and some
with diamonds.
These gold suspender buckles are
made of IA karat gold, so that they
will withstand wear, for it is not the
custom of men who wear suspenders of
this sort, when the webs wear out, to
toss them into the scrap basket When
the webs wear out the wearer takes
the suspenders back to the jeweller
and has the good buckles mounted on
Aew silk webs.
Gold mounted suspenders can be
found in stock at prices ranging from
$50 to $120 a pair. Those perfectly
plain, simple suspenders, with the sim
pie plain gold buckles, cost $3S. A
pair of sapphires set in the buckles
cost SIS, and another pair with eight
small diamonds in the buckles cost

STILL INTER STING.

Mr.. William J. Bryan certainly can
talk well, and he did talk well in his
speech in London. He talked almost
well enough to convince some people
that he is a big enough man to be
President of the United States. He has
been interesting for several years, but
he was never more interesting than
now. He has made a large tour and
has learned something from travel,
though his letters haven't shown it.
They have been dry and feeble. Per
haps he hasn't attended to the writing
Of them as he might have done if he
had needed the money. But he must
have seen much to make him think and
compare, and he is undoubtedly larger
than he was when he went away. He
is also apparently much more popular
There is a lot Of good feeling toward
him whore there once was none.
Whether his new popularity will last
and grow until he is nominated for
President is uncertain. He is bound to
talk good deal, and he may talk it
down. He sees the danger ahead Of
him and is not willing to make any
definite declaration yet. This is wise,
He needs to keep himself interesting as
long and as much as he can, and in
order to do that he must keep the peo-
pie guessing. When he does conclude
to say what he wants perhaps it will
not make any difference, but now it
looks as if he were the coming man,
and could be the arrived man, SO far
as a nomination is concerned. But two
years are two years.

many years past there has been but
little effort on their part to abate this
nuisance Their attention has been re-
peatedly called to it in the public
prints, and other ways. Beyond this,
It has seemed to many that there has
been one rule Of action on the part OF
the police and the courts of extra lem
iency towards students which did not
apply when some ignorant loafer who
did not know any better did the same
thing. And the students, by some false
code of honor, have felt obliged to
shield and defend one of their own

The troubles have not been confined
to Temple street, and the Sheffield de-

the police, especially where there is Gas

cooperation on the part Of others. What
can policeman do, when there are
hurried from the windows dangerous
missiles of any kind on the passersby?
The door Is locked against him, and If
he should force it the culprit would be
missing, But 1t is not difficult to find
a remedy. Let the authorities of the
university have a standing rule that all
students will be held to a strict account
for their conduct in their rooms, wher-
ever they are, and for anything coming

abating the evil than can be done by
the whole police force of the city This

selves. but In justice to their friends,
who, often at a great sacrifice, for
their education committed them to the
watchful care of this institution of
learning. If it is necessary to expel a
few numbers is not the only thing to
lbe considered. 1t is well known that
there is a growing feeling in this city
that our university in the way of ex-
Iemption from taxation and other ways,

burden to the rest of the community,

evils referred to. This is at the least

SUFFERING FOR A GREAT CAUSE.
The New Woman not only has the
courage to tell what her convictions
are. but she also has the courage to
suffer for them. The news comes
from London that Miss Teresa Billing
ton and her two companions, who were
arrested in Cavendish Square for per-
sisting in parading in front Of the res
idence of Herbert Asquith Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and resisting the
police, were in the Marylebone police
court and were ordered to find sureties
for their good behavior for year or
to go to prison for six weeks. They
elected to 60 to prison.
Of course there are unfeeling people
in this world who will think it good
thing for these women to be shut up
for six weeks. and there are feeling
people who will also think it is a good
thing for the women and for their
great and undying cause The blood Of
the martyrs has been the seed of the
church. and the tears of these women
may be the seed Of great growth.
Perhaps, though, they are not the kind
that weep. If they don't their impris-
onment, and what they say about it,
may be seed. 1t is an interesting in

their cause will profit by it, and we
also hope that the Tyrant Man whose

PAMPERED POULTRY.

AT the national stockyards, at East
ST. Louis, chickens lead life of lux
ury It is not for them to scratch in
the dirt for worms and run eagerly af-
ter corn. They are placed, as it were,
under the Weir Mitchell treatment.
They live chiefly ON milk diet, and are
carefully excluded from any undue ex-
citment. Two meals are given them
daily, and after each meal the house is
darkened, that nothing may interfere
with their after-nap. The food given
is a careful combination of buttermilk,
ground cereals and ground meats. To
insure impartiality, large quantities are
prepared at d time. To each bird is al
lotted certain amount. Attached to
the feeding stand Is a rubber tube,

which is pushed through the coop;
next, chicken after chicken is taken out
and fed, by inserting a rubber tube into
each beak. When the chicken becomes
accustomed to this they open their
mouths eagerly for the nursing bottle,
as the feeder passes from one TO the
other. After twenty-days of this diet
the pampered fowls are usually ready
TO go down the elevator to the killing
department. It is asserted that chickens
which have been fattened by this pro-
cess are equally tender all over when
they reach the table-that the drum
stick is as toothsome as the breast.

1t was pretty expensive to build in
this country last year, and yet there
were many people who fguratively,
and literally too, damned the expense.
The facts have been collected, and there
was, it appears, a large increase in the
number and cost of buildings erected
in this country during 1905 as compared
with the building record Of 1904. In the
latter year the number Of permits is
sued to builders was 1888, and the to-
