Then it will suddenly leap about two feet in the air. landing two feet or so away. sometimes on it's back. some times on it's feet.
 In the new game of flip bug" as introduced at Mrs Steppacher's re- ception. the bug is placed in the center of the board. There he stays. curled up while the players make their bets. one can bet on red or black: on num- bers. odd or even. and on whether the flip bug will land on his back or his feet. This last chance gives an added zest to the game.
 When all bets are made the banker gently pokes the flip bug. He jumps Where he lands, there the banker pays: the banker also pays on whether he lands right side up or not Bets are then cashed. the flip bug is corralled and a new round of bets is made When the bug jumps off the board altogether the banker gets his percentage, If the flip bug shows signs of fatigue a new one must be substituted upon a major ity vote of the players. exclusive of the bankers voice.

JOHN JONES AND WIFE"

The average man !s very sensitive regarding the common courtesies ex- tended to the members of his family Yet this same average man does not observe the properties of do- mestic relationship when he is travel ing. A glance at any hotel register will disclose a scrawl ending with and wife" In nine times out of ten a man registers his own Rame. followed by an abbreviation intended ta convey the in formation that he is accompanied b. the Sharer of his name and fortune
 John James and wife" is the famn- far signature on most hotel registers which carries with it an unintenional slight on the wife" If a man would stop to think. he would remember that every consideration of propriety de- mands that lac should divide the dig nifty of his name with the woman who has taken it. John Jones and wife" is an egotistical assumption that Mir Jones $ a person of consequence and that his wife is mere hanger-on. MT. Jones takes it for granted. as men are apt to do. that he is the principal fac tor in the matrimonial arrangement and that and vie" is sufficient recog- hilton for the mother of his children.
 Occasionally one sees on a hotel reg ister a signature similar to this: MT. and Mrs. John Jones' At once there arises a wholesome respect for this man Jones. He has not only dignified him. self but he has digniiied his wife. We are assured that MT Jones is a gentle man in the best acceptance of the term. He places his wife on an equal footing wi-h himself. and he may be confident that not only the hotel clerk but eve.y man who sees his name on the register respects him the more for the man. ner of his signature
 The climax of insolence is found when a man registers his name and follows with the abbreviation "and wi" Why this is done is beyond com prehension. yet it is frequently written II is not hard to picture the wife of such a man. She is shrinking and has been subordinate to the mastSr Man for so long that even the wifi is ac- cepted as a matter of course. But John Jones" doesn't mind. He is sim ply neglectful. and the sufferer from his neglect is patient undersigned. Per haps if it were brought to his attention he would realize that "Mr. and Mrs. John Jones' carries with the signature responsibility and distinction. IL is an easy lesson to learn.-Kansas City Journal.

THE RAILROAD SKY

The New York Road and Their Eb- ployes on The Point of an Amicable Adjustment.

New York. Nov. 1S.-There no longer appears to be any danger of a strike of railroad employees in the east, as the situation with reference to the demand of members of certain organizations was considerably cleared today.
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford and the New York Central railroads came to an agreement with a committee representing the firemen of the two roads, affecting the status of the men on the new electric locomo- tives. and the adjustment committee of the Erie locomotive engineers announc- ed late today that it had come to an agreement with the officials of that system.
 The firemen's committee will confer further with the New York Central and the New York. New Haven and Hartford officials. concerning questions of increased wages and shorter hours. It was said at the offices of the Erie system today that there will be no trouble in reaching an agreement with the firemen at the proper time.

FLIP BUG THE RAGE.
Yunra's Best Society Gone Crazy Over
 New Game.

The high society of this town says a letter from Yuma is all torn up over the evil effects of of tbe flip bug craze. Not since Bill Baker ran off to Sonora with Bonesy Swans wife and Bonesy' $ four children. has Yuma had such a shakedOwn of it's best social set. It is all due to Mrs Isaac Steppacher {, mother. Sonora Chiquita SalvadOrcs y Casablanca. of Magdalcna. state of So- nora. Mexico and the common flip bug of the Moiave desert.
 Sonora Casablanca is d Mexican of the old Castilian lineage. The Hip bug Is a species of beetle Sonora Casa blansa's chief characteristic is a love for rare forms of gambling. The flip bugs only interesting feature is his peculiar ability to jump about two feet in the air when prodded by a tooth pick.
 About two months ago Sonora Casa blanca came up from Magadalena to pay a visit to her daughter and her law, like" Steppacher who is the "welh known and popular night clerk in the Golden Eagle hotel. near the railroad station. About a week after Sonora Casablanca arrived Mrs. Steppacher sent out cards tO the so- ciety folk inviting them to little afternoon affair. on the bottom of the cards which were the best specimens Of the Weekly Scorpions fine engrav- ing work. were the words Flip Bug" in old English type.
 On the day of the reception the guests came early. Mrs. SteppacheT did not keep them in suspense After passing around frappe mescal she in troduced the ladies to her mother ana then led them into the library. In the middle of the room stood roulette layout without the wheel. There were chairs around for the guests and a stack of chips in front of the bankers place.
 The wondering guests were each ask ed to buy In. the blpe chips costing four bits and the reds and whites in proportion. Most of the women had come well heeled; the others wrote out l. O. U's. Then they sat Gown and Mrs. Steppacher's mother produced a flip bug.
 The bug which is beetle about as big as a three-months- old cockroach, is very peculiar insect. When caught

of her pee-a-boo waist. Then Mrs. Hodgkins went into mysteries and the game was delayed. Mamie Champlain played steadily on legs back" a safe conservative game with chances even, and she won.
 As a matter of course flip bug be- came the rage in Yuma's social set. Every afternoon for weeks there was flip bug party. Popular matrOLs of the town sent their little boys out on the mesa hunting for the bugs as they would hairless Mexican dog. and car ried them everywhere they went in H- tie cages made of cork and pins and suspended on their chatelaines. Big gambling debts began to be contracted by the unfortunates and heavy orders for dress goods were sent to Los An geles by the lucky ones.
