Here is puzzle that puzzles every
body. Take the number Of your
living brothers, double the amount,
add to it three, multiply by FIVE, add
to it the number of living sisters.
multiply the result by ten, add the
number of deaths of brothers and
substract $50 from the result The
right figure will be the number OF
deaths, the middle will be the num-
Der of living sisters and the last will
show the number OF living brothers.
Try it and see if it does not work out
correctly.

OUR CITY BELL AND CITY AT.
 TORNEY

A few weeks ago at a meeting Of the city council when the second or dinance was introduced appropriating $500 in payment of the city's con- tract to MT. Adams, City Attorney Coleman made very severe speech about the "illegality" of the appro- Eriation.
 In about ten minutes after making this speech petition of the old vol unteer fire department was read, asking that the city donate it's inter- est in the old fire bell to the Catholic church or allow the old members of this company to buy the city's inter- est in same for $50 Alderman Nichol made motion to donate this bell to said church, so after much discussion about the city's rights to give away its property. the city attorney was asked if the city had a right to give this bell away, and his opinion was give them the bell"
 Now, it looks strange and incon- sistent in our young and ambitious city attorney to advise our city dads of the legality of one and the illegal ity of the other, when they were paralle1ed cases, and came up within ten minutes of each other.
 The Graphic was in favor of this bell being given to the Catholic church or any other church that the majority of members of the old fire department desired but it does ques- tion the sincerity, or qualifications, of our city attorney in his opinions upon legal matters and legal questions, when he advises the city council that they have right to give it's property away and have not a right to appro- priate money in payment of it's con tracts

THE ALGEcIRAN SETTLEMENT.

Though final details of an admins trative character still remain unset tied at Algeciras, affairs have now reached a stage where the early and peaceful end of the conference is as- sured, and a protocol is soon to be signed. In view of the rather sur prisine suddenness with which an ad- justment was ultimately reached. it may perhaps be inferred that the dispatches of a fortnight Or so back which enlarged upon the difficulties in the way of an agreement and darkly hinted at warlike possibilities, were greatly exaggerated.
 However this may be, there seems reason to doubt that a settlement has somehow been reached. Particulars are as yet scant an3 possibly not ,o ne fully relied on. but + is eviden, tiat Frances contentious have been in the main sustained {. the expens9 of Germany's. France is 70 be allow ed three,ffths of the stock in the proposed Moroccan bank, and with reference to the policing of the ports mixed force principally under joint Spanish and French control. appears to have been decided upon.

AFRAID TO THINK TOO HARD.'

Washin2ton.-.I suppose you are thinking hard about this question of railway rate legislation a Wash ineton society woman asked Senator Dubois. of Idaho, at a social function last night
 No" said the senator, who does weight speeches. "I'm afraid that if l think too hard about it. I'll lose my nerve and be afraid to talk on it when it comes my turn to make speech in the senate
 In the cloakroom of the house to- day a story was told of how a sharp remark by Representative Brown low. of Tennessee, beat H. R. Gibson. of that state fer renomination and election to congress. Gibson held the seat last year and both are Re nuhlicans. He had observed that. despite the strict civil service regu- lations. Brown7ov managed to get an unusually large number of his constituents appointed to government places.
 How do you work the game. Brownlow?" asked Gibson I've been working hard to land some of my fellows for four years, and haven't been able to do it yet"
 "Pshaw," said Brownloy, If there was anyone in our. district that had sense enough to pass a civil service examination, you wouldn't be in con sress.'

have emanated from MT. White, though it was an Austrian represen tative who actually introduced it in the conference.
 The result is a diplomatic victory for France, backed by other powers. over the arrogant assumptions of Germany. At the most critical stage of the conference when Germany was most assertive, the Russian repres. entative received direct and open in. structions to stand by France. Eng land was known to be in sympathy with the French attitude, and the declaration of Russia that she would stand by her ally (France) in any extremity, safely put to sleep the German emperors arrogant preten- sions, and from that moment it be- came evident that the conference would reach an agreement
 Reports declare that the kaiser is chagrined at the outcome of the con- ference and will visit his displeasure upon Chancellor Von Buelow, who is ir consequence shortly to be replac- ed by Prince Hohenlohe-Langen How far this statement is actually consistent with the facts, will doubt less appear more fully later. Certain ly those who have felt that Germans stand upon the Moroccan question was rather technical and diplomatic than in expectation of any substant- ial benefits, will not be prepared to accept it as face value. William had no real interests at stake, unless we ir:culde a vague hope of weakening the entente cordiale between France and England, and he could scarcely have looked to Algeciras to do much in the way of providing him with any. The mere forcing of the con. ference, involving as it did, an admis. sion from France that she could not undertake to shape the destiny of Morocco without his cooperation. was in itself personal triumph, and it is quite possible that the outcome of that conference has not greatly disappointed him.

 DOUGLAS SOCIETY. . . . & . t . .

Pleasure delights m contrast. Tt is through dissipation we learn to ap- preciate solitude. and solitude, dissi- patton"
 These words, though written many years ago, seemed to have a particu- lar bearing on the evening of last Monday when so many of the peo- pie of Douglas collected at the Or pheum to enjoy the dance given by the Thirteen Club. Douglas has ney- CT boasted of a more fashionable az gregation than the e>seventy-five couple who composed the grand march. led by Miss Bess Fox and Mir. Fred Mich ols. The occasion is one long to be remembered, coming as the first of the social functions after the close of the Lenten season. The decorations were in the customary black and white but exceeded the greatest expectations in their extreme originality. The wide strips of bunting were draped from the center and gave the effect of tent. and with the colored lights reflecting from the sides. the effect was beauti- ful. The orchestra pit was a revela- ton, with bunting stretched from the stage over the railing to the floor, giv- ing one the impression of a very mys- terious box. The thirteen dances and three extras made up the program of dreamy waltzes and lively two-steps, furnished by the Ratz orchestra, who were enthroned on the stage. The bal cony was covered with penants deco rated with skulls and cross bones, and beneath were the curtains which sep arated the dressing rooms from the main hall.
