  It is remarkable to sec how busy people can be and yet never accomplish any, thing. The "busy y-as-can-be'' man is to be found in every town. He has score of irons in the fire, he has a finger in every public pie, his voice is raised on every occasion, he is conspicuous in everything, but when the sum total of his achievements is counted up they are nihil. There is an element of tragedy and an element of comedy in such a character. He reminds one of the vagabond sparrow always stirring, always on the go and accomplishing nothing.

 to note how many newspaper car- toonists in the United States used prac- tieally the same idea when the news of San Franciseo's catastrophe was flashed over the land. No doubt, nearly every newspaper reader saw at least one pie ture representing san Francisco as a woman in flowing robes. her head bowed with grief and all around her the ruins of a burning city, while another female figure-coumbia. or Chicago. or Calves ton, or Jacksonville.

The idea of the two sisters was most popular, altho some of the cartoons depicted Uncle Sam rais- ing his stricken daughter from the ashes
 In a majority of cases the possibility of copying was precluded, because nearly all of these cartoons appeared simalta- neously. The observation merely goes to show how many people can think the same thing at the same time: while it would also tend to indicate that Amcr- iean cartoonsts need more diversity

La Crosse, Wis.-Nearly all OF 20O
passengers on the steamer Quincy OF
the Diamond 10 line Wednesday night
narrowly escaped death when the big
packet struck bank in the dark near
Trempealeau. Wis, turned half over
and then caught fire.
It is believed that the majority OF
the passengers were saved and only
one drowning is definitely known, that
of an infant which was washed from
it's mothers arms.
A belated train brought GO passen-
gers who were on the boat to this
city. Accounts given by them OF the
disaster do not include positive state
ments as to. drownings, but 1t Is be-
lieved comparatively few met death.
At about 1890 o'clock the steamer,
plying up river, struck bank. At the
time. it is said, the boat carried no
searchlight. One passenger says he
saw a babe washed overheard from It's
mothers arms. The boat was sinking,
though not in deep water.
Amid a crashing Of timbers, with
the boat on it's side, the lifeboats were

he denied the Chicago meat packers

perfect the sanitary conditions in the
buildings where food is prepared. He
then took a train for the west, where
he will continue to look into the pack

This move by the government is
looked upon as a drastic action to
force the packers to pursue with Wig.
or the work Of renovating their plants.
Announcement is made in the same
declaration that the inspection under
the new law will begin at once in
plants where sanitary conditions JUS
tify it. and the government label may
be used by the owners Of such plants.
Chicago establishments are mentioned
specifically and are said to be on
