GOOD PRICE OFFERED
FOR BANK SHARES.

AS showing the trend OF business in
this state, a gentleman OF this city,
who owns two and a half shares of the
capital stock of a bank at Buffalo, John
son county, was offered today $500 for
the shares, but has not yet made up his
mind to accept the offer. He paid 5000
for the stock and has for a part Of the
time received % per cent per annum
in dividends, SO that the offer of 5000
a share is not SO glittering as it would
seem at first sight.

densely populated sections, problems

often complicated by the fact that cities
not only draw their supply OF water
from convenient streams, but in many
cases empty their sewerage into them
as well. In such thickly settled regions
even small and insignificant streams
must be utilized to their fullest capac-
ity. In the Central States underground

both industrial and municipal purposes.

HOTELS FOR WOMEN NEEDED.
Crying Need in New York City, De-
clares President of Little
Mothers Association.

"There are only three ways open to
the New York working girl whose wage
earning capacity is So week and
who is dependent on herself for sup
port-she may starve, go to destruc-
ton, or commit suicide"
Mrs. Clarence Burns, president Of the
Little Mothers Association flung this
bombshell into the convention of the
New York Federation Of Women's
Clubs.
1.-THE crying need of New York City,"
continued Mrs. Burns, lis Mills hotels
for working women.
There are 255,732 wage earning
women in New York. These figures
do not include the women in various
professions. OF these wage earners
22,70S are saleswomen. Their earnings
average So week. A woman can bare
ly live on that and keep herself respect
able. The women and girl boxmakers
number 1904. This is the poorest paid
trade in the city. Three dollars week
is the average wage paid. No woman
can support herself on such a sum I'M
less she lives in her parents home and
pays no board.
New York must give these girls and
women respectable, comfortable living
places within their means. 1t remains
Tor the Federation of Women's Clubs
to make some strong organized effort
to start this thing. 1t will be no trou-
BILE to establish these cheap, comfort
able hotels once we can convince peo-
pie Of the need"

Then we drove to the Ponce De Leon,
where Senator and Mrs. S.-lunched
with us. This hotel is a vast Moorish
Palace covering acres of ground. One
enters through massive iron gate; a
fight of steps leads to a veranda on
either side, with large open court
in front, filled with tropical growth
bordered with verbenas, mignonette,
geraniums and roses in full bloom. In
the centre of this paved court, large
fountain is fed by bronze frogs and
turtles, while the basin flashes with
splendid gold fish. A few steps lead to

immense dining hall in the centre OF
the building must be seen to gather
any conception Of its splendor. The

beggars description. Each side of the
room is enclosed in glass, and the
guests gaze out upon the open grounds,

To Rouse by PhOuogfaph.

Clocks are now being made which IN
stead of striking them, speak the
hours through an ingenious application
OF the talking machine. The inven.
tor has made clocks with speaking
discs of various kinds to serve as
alarms. You can be awakened by the
sound of well-known voice. They
are arranged to call out in various de-
gree of meditation, some loud enough
to rouse the soundest sleeper. AS
alarm clocks, they should in time su-
persede all others, for the discs can be
changed as often as the fancy dictates,
so that the sleeper will not become SO
familiar with the call as to continue
his slumber. as often happens in the
use of the ordinary clocks with bells

RELIC OF BULL RUN.
n Small Monument Erected on the
Spot at the Time of the Battle.

n Small Monument Erected on the
Spot at the Time of the Battle.
This rude little monument stands
on the bloodiest section Of the Bull
Run battlefields about one thousand
yards northwest Of the crossroads
at Groveton. The site Of the monu-
ment is by the 'bankslde of the "old
railroad cut" Before the civil war
q railroad was projected to run from
the Manassas Gap Railroad at Gains
Vile, Va, northeast to Leesburg,
crossing Bull Run at Sudley Springs.
The railroad was graded with q sue
cession of "cuts" and "fills," from
GAINESVILLE to Sudley, distance OF
about three miles. No ties or rails had
been laid when at the outbreak OF
the war work stopped. In the second
battle OF Bull Run, Jackson took up
his position along the line OF railroad.
Back Of Groveton the line ran
through long low hill and this
"cut" was In the center Of the Con-
federate line. Here the effort to dis
lodge Jackson was most stubborn
and thousands of Union soldiers fell
Appomatox, when the Union army
was on the march back TO Washing
ton, many OF the troops returned by
way Of the old Warrentown turnpike
which runs through these bloody
fields. The bones Of the Union sol
diers who fell there had not at that
time been exhumed and taken to Ar
lington. The returning veterans
paused long enough to erect and dedi-
cate this monument. IL stands In
the woods in an isolated place and
very few persons ever visit It.

The Dead Sea of America.

The Great Salt Lake, Utah, has a
length of seventy-five miles, width
of thirty-five miles, and a circumfer-

lands, the largest having length of
sixteen miles and width of five
miles, with a peak rising to the height
Of 5000 feet above the level of the
lake. The water is of such density that
persons can float in it easily; its
density excelled only by that of the

heads, filled with the freshly cut fruit.
ITO one who has always lived in the
North, the colored part OF the commun-
tty, would be the most interesting feat
ure of this southern city On every
, corner were groups OF men and boys,
hands in their pockets, lazing in the
sunshine, women earring big baskets
OF laundry work on their woolly heads,
and pickaninnies rolling and tumbling
everywhere. l reached the steamer
well satisfied with my sight of Charles
ton and at p. M. we left the Harbor.
The remainder of the day was bright
and although cool, we stayed on deck
until dark. We passed close to Fort
Sumter, so quiet and deserted, that
1T was difficult to realize that the first
note of war was sounded from that
spot nearly half century ago.
The St. Johns in Florida.
The next day was bright, warm and
beautiful, and at A nj. we entered
the st. Johns River in Florida, with
ats low banks, entirely devoid of inter
est. Reaching Jacksonville in the
morning we drove all over the city,
saw the large new hotels, and some
handsome dwellings and the built-up
district over which the big fire had
swept We took the train for st. Aug
ustine-one of the dreams Of my life
was to be realized--and rode for more
than an hour through woods of the
long leaf pine, and the scrub palmetto,
then behold! the bay and the quaint
old city. State Senator S.-who was
in my husbands company during the
war, met us with his carriage, and his
hospitality was so imperative, that we
could but accept. He owns a pretty
place a little out of the city on San
Marco Avenue, where We spent pleas
ant evening with him and his wife, and
the next morning he drove us all over
the old town, past the superb hotels,
the old Spanish houses-the Oldest is
300 years-through the narrow streets,
the narrowest five feet wide, to the
barracks, and along the beautiful bay,
while beyond Anastasia Island lay the
ocean.

THE FAMOUS CANVASBACK DUCK.

The shores OF Chesapeake Bay
abound plentifully in wild celery
the chief article of diet of the canvas
back duck. The plant grows entirely
under water, and the duck, In order
to obtain the buds and shoots of the
plant, must, at times, remain under
water as long as two minutes. Then,
too, they often lose the choice morsel,
for the baldpate lies in wait ready to
snatch il from the diver. The poor,
misguided canvasback is easily be-
guiled to its death by the waiting gun
ner through the use Of decoys made
Of wood or other light material. But
II wounded by the shot Of the rifleman
all its energy is aroused. Hit, II drops
into the water, and, diving, swims un-
der water for immense distances In
order to escape the retriever.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-03-24

Deception in the preparation of our
foods not only is the stock-in-trade of
the manufacturer, but large hotel
keepers are guilty also. Wise, indeed,
is the man who can tell when he 10
eating canvasback duck. There Is ap-
parently but one way to distinguish
the canvasback, and that is by the cell
cry flavor impaired to its flesh. The
celebrated ducks of the Chesapeake re-
gion and those Of Wisconsin are noted
for this flavor, the former living al
most entirely on an aquatic weed
known as wild celery, and the latter
upon the extensive celery fields OF the
Wolverine State. And yet the owner
of the hotel saves money when he has
the common duck fed and fattened on
celery; served on the table its favor
Is the same as the wild bird.

The history of the rain drops and
the snow flakes from the time of their
formation till it merges with the
ocean, to be again evaporated and re-
peat the process, is ofttimes a long and
devious one. Some of the rain OF
course falls back into the ocean; but
much finds temporary abiding place
on the tops of high inland mountains,
and enjoys a year or more of travel
and usefulness before 1t finally reaches
its old mother ocean.
The Government is devoting con-
siderable energy to the accumulation
and dissemination of facts concern
ing the behavior Of water from the time
it reaches the earth as rain or snow
until it joins the ocean or great navi-
gable rivers. Public appreciation OF
the value of this work has steadily in
creased, and urgent demands for its
extension have come from all sections
of the country. The work includes the
collection of data relating to the flow
of surface streams, researches on the
ground waters,-great subterranean
rivers which move with elaboration
and the investigation of the physical
character of these waters, such as
hardness, color, turbidity, etc. The
sources and effects of the pollution Of
municipal water supplies have also
received much study.

AS n means of obtaining reliable re-
