Bede'S Briuhtness.

During a prohibition festival held at
Prohibition Park, Heiberg, Mimi, as a
part of the program there was to be a
three-cornered political debate, J. Ad-
am Bede (the present Minnesota con
gressman), representing the Repub-
licans, M. J. DAILY of Perham the DEM
ocrats, and Oliver w. Stewart of Chi
cago the Prohibitionists. The Audi.
once was there, Bede and Stewart were
on the platform with Rev. B. B. Haug-
an, and all were awaiting the arrival
of Mr.. DAILY.
The weather was hot: Mr.. Stewart,
who is quite corpulent, had exchanged
his vest for a russell leather belt;
Bede, who is quite thin, wore, as usual,
his white vest. Mr.. Hangar, always
willing to entertain the audience, ia
%cetiously removed Stewards belt and
tried 1t on Bede; it went twice around.
and then some. The audience had its
little laugh, and perhaps Mr.. Bede
feared an unavoidable conclusion as
to the relative merits of the two speak.

urement. He waited till the ripple of
merriment had subsidized, and then an.

Black Hens Eggs.

The other afternoon a woman en-
tered a grocery store and stepping up
to the proprietor said:
IT want two dozen eggs, and prefer
those laid by black hens"
"Well, I'd like to accommodate you,
madam, but as long as l have been in
the business I never learned to tell the
eggs of a black hen from a specified or
a white one"
Yes continued the woman, there
is a great difference, and the egg laid
by the black hens r easily distin'
g%uished."
eff that is so, just pick them out for
yourself, please" said the grocer.
Accepting the invitation, the woman
carefully selected the eggs, and as she
put the last one in a paper bag the as
tonished grocer exclaimed:
Gracious! Do black hens lay all
the big eggs"
Eyes," replied the customer, gliding
toward the door, that's how you tel
them"

An Act of Providence.

The following story is told of a
Scotch minister: Among his congre-
cation was a shoemaker whom, on his
pastoral visits, he always found in the
very best humor and spirits. One day,
however, the clergyman was deeply
grieved to find his parishioner in an
extremely respondent mood, and
begged to ka"w the reason.
"Weel, sir" answered the shoemak-
er, sadly, "ye see there's a rival shoe
maker started RIGHT opposite me, an
ma trades beginnin' to leave me-"
"Tut, tut, john" exclaimed the min
lister, soothingly, you shouldn't allow
yourself to go down like that. Be a
man and meet your troubles like q
man. And above all, John, trust in
Providence and all will come right"
A few weeks later the minister paid
the shoemaker another visit and was
delighted to find him as CHEEKY and as
humorous as ever.
"Now, john" said the minister,
didn't tell you all would come right
if you trusted in Pr]ovidence?"
AYE, sir" responded John, cheerily,
Eye did that, an l took your advice"
Then after a pause he added signif-
cantly: "The ither shoemaker died"

Challenging the Judge.

1.-THE late Judge ]. I. Clark Hare"
said a lawyer of Philadelphia, was
one day relating to me some OF his
odd experiences on the bench.
"He said that certain man was about
to be tried in the common pleas, and
showed a great disposition to chal.
lenge the jurymen.
Evidently the prisoner knew all
about the right to challenge, and evil
IDENTIFY he felt that the more challeng'
ing he and his lawyer did the better
his case would 60 for him.
Finally. though, his challenging
came to an end. He announced that
tn ejury no wsatisfied him.
"'Your challenging is all over? We
can now 60 on?. said, with a smile
the attorney for the prosecution.
"'The jury is all right" said the
prisoner, hurriedly and anxiously, but
I want to. challenge tn ejudge. I've
been convicted under him several
times before. and it's more than like
ly he's prejudiced against me-"

This Girl Was an Economic UtiIlta-
rian.
That this is the 6 Of u%tilitarian-
ism has been proclaimed, and If ev-
erybody demands proof of the state
ment let it be found in the recent
of an upper West side girl says the
New York Press. She took her bap-
tismal robe incidentally the robe
used by the three generations of her
%forebears when they renowned the
flesh and the devil), a garment hand
embroidered in fine circles and
squares. This delicately-made robe
she converted into a modern ballgown
by ripping off the yoke and inserting
the gathered finery into the regula-
ton high girdle. The skirt was broad
enough to permit the conventional
show of plaits. An insertion of fine
hand-embroidery was made about
four inches from the hem, and the
edge was scalloped and finished in
Valenciennes lace. Some persons
may cry out against such use of a
robe with church associations, but
this girl is an avowed bachelor girl,
and probably the garment never
would have been used again If she
had not thought up the new way

. He Knew the Law.

A Civil wal veteran. several times
representative from his own district
to the New Hampshire legislature, and
at one time speaker of the house, had
just returned home from a closing SEES
sion of the legislature, at which, says
a writer In the Manchester Union, the
law pertaining to the right of way to
pedestrians had been passed.
He was crossing the street from his
Office n day soon after his return
when an electric car came bounding
along. The motorman, alive to the
danger of the veteran, made frantic
efforts to attract his attention, and
when they failed, shouted:
Look out, major! If you don't get
off the track l shall run over you"
The major stopped stock still in the
middle of the track.
IF you do, young man, youth hang
for it." he. said, firmly.

older of the two grabbed the other
one by the collar and said viciously:

Before They Struck OIL.

Bishop Potter tells of a wealthy
Westerner who last year joined the
multitude in New York on account of
his wife's social aspirations.
The outsider gave a dinner to such
friends as his wife had already gained
since their descent upon the Empire
City. The repast was magnificent. as
were the service, appointments and
decorations. The hostess, g%orgeously
clad, was In fine fettle.
In a lull In the conversation, the
Westerner, bored to extinction, was
listlessly watching a servant remove
crumbs from the table. Then his
glance wandered along the %glistening
table till 1t rested upon the bejeweled
wife. Quietly he observed:
Maggie, do you remember when you
used to shake the tablecloth out OF
the back door at the chickens?"

A Bit of New York Where IRREGULAR.
ties Abound.
In old Greenwich village is the
Greenwich triangle, bounded by
Greenwich avenue, West Eleventh and
West Tenth streets and Sixth avenue.
Within this territory, inhabited by
1000 persons, there are two streets,
two avenues, two places, a row, an al
ley and 100 houses. One OF the places
is Milligan place, a small blind alley
running not at right angles to Sixth
avenue, but diagonally srom it. It Is
made up of four houses, each With a
frontage of It's feet, but each with a
different depth.
At Eleventh street and Sixth ave
nue. the corner is beveled. A little
way beyond on Eleventh street there
is a blind alley, and beyond that Is
Garden row, a row of houses with a
garden or plot of greensward and
trees in front of each. To the west OF
Greenwich row are fifteen houses
built to the stoop line.
On Greenwich avenue from Eleventh
to Tenth street, south, there are TWEEN
ty-fve buildings, no two Of which have
exactly the same dimensions of lot,
either in frontage or depth. The line
of West Tenth street between Green
wish avenue and Sixth avenue Is brok-
en- by Patchen place, which includes
eleven house S Of different lines OF
frontage, six of which have the depth
Of go feet, while the other five vary in
depth from 6S.8 to 1876 feet.
The irregularities of this block ex-
tend, further than the frontage of the
streets composing it and include the
irregularities of the two blind alleys,
| Patchen and Milligan places. At the
end of each there is to be seen after
nightfall a lantern, recalling the days
Of old New York when the c%onstables
united to other duties those of official
lamplighters.
AS many as 100000 persons a day
pass the Greenwich triangle. Those
of them who are observant perceive
something unusual in New York city
trees growing upon the tops Of
houses.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April 23.-It became evident
very early in today's Stock Exchange ses-
sion that the late recovery in stocks last
week did not measure the passage Of tho
influence Of the California disaster upon
the market for securities and money in
general. The continuing effects Of the ii
nancial losses We're felt in various de-
grtcS in all the worlds markets. The
heavy withdrawals of gold from London
hardened the rates for money and dis
count there and passed the effects in this
way into other quarters. The sending
forward of money to San Francisco was
actively extended today and there was a
growing understanding of the probability
that this movement not only would CON
tinuc, but increase when affairs in the
stricken city began to come into order
and the machinery of business to resume
operations. The absorption of capital in
the work of rehabilitation will reduce the
supply available for the carrying out of
extensive projects in other lines Of indus
try and in other quarters. These are but
few of the points of the problem TO be
faced by the financial world and the con
temptation If which was the unSettling
influence Of today'S stock market. The
weight Of selling increased as the day
progressed and the whole market became
very weak before the afternoon was far
advanced. Hasty short covering made
some Of the last prices a little better
than the lowest. but the closing tone was
weak and the days losses ran generally
between two and five points.
Bonds were weak Total sales, par val
uo. s., 10000 United States bonds were
all unchanged on call

| Land in mill yard not added.
AT the afternoon session witness told
| how he had reached his conclusion as to
the value of the water power. The fac
| tors entering into his computation were
the passing of the municipal line through
| the Gam, the good condition in which the
structure seemed to be considering its
| age. and tables in the report of the Unit
| ed States geological survsy considering
the average flow of water each year Mr..
Baker during the examination objected
on the ground that the dam was not le-
gally taxable property and was not legal
ly taxed.
Mr.. Brown replied that he supposed
since Nature had given the power orig
mally to the river it did not hold that it
was for the express benefit of the Lock
wood Company, and for that reason the
dam had n value of its own and was to a
large extent accounta bic for the business
done in the mills. BY considering the
conditions Of t1owage during the year he
showed that the mill could not be oper-
atcd without a loss of at least % DAYS
year. After the explanation the wit
ness was examined by Mr.. Baker who
questioned him for the rest of the after
noon.
Asked what would be the cost of re-
building the mill with modern equipments,
leaving aside consideration of the water
power and its accessories, witness replied
about 81 per spindle" The mill, wit
ness thought, while it was not essential
ly modern, was capable of turning out
practically as much finished product rs Il
modern mill. although the difference in
cost of such production would be in favor
Of the latter. The other questions asked
We're along the same line. The hearing
was adjourned at SO o'clock
