How Doe. It Seem to You.

It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring nor whistles
blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don't
sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not really stiffness, but just the trees
Low whisperings, or the hum of bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe cricket or katydid,
Or the songs Of birds in the hedges hid,
Or just some sweet sounds as these
To fill a tired heart with ease.
If 'twern't for sight and sound and
smell
I'd like a city pretty well.
But when 1t comes to getting rest
like the country lots the best.
Sometimes it seems to me I must
Just quit the city's din and dust,
And get out where the sky is blue,
And say. now, how does 1t seem to you?

evidence and sentenced McCraw to
twenty years in the penltentary. And

"The Tcnderfoot."

That operatc comedy ''The Tenderfoot" with Oscar L. Figman and Ruth White as the stars will be at the Jefferson thea tre this afternoon and tonight.
 The music of this piece has made it a general favorite, as there is swing about it that sets the feet tapping and the blood moving faster. H. l.. Heartz, who is re- sponsible for the score or more tunes, caught the spirit of Richard Carles book when he wrote the music. It is character istically western in it's free swing and easy rhythm. Carle's book is not only witty, but there is wel-defned plot that carriers the story to a definite conclusion.
 MT. Figman and Miss White will be remembered as the stars of the revival of '"The Burgomaster'' which was seen here two seasons ago and which made such a hit on account of the general excellence of the cast. The Tenderfoot' is under the same management and it is promised that it is the largest production of the opera that has been seen on the road. being an exact replica of that in Chi cago during the three runs there.
 Mir. Ffgman is said to nave surprised even his warmest admirers by his work as Professor Pettibone and he is being hailed as the coming low comedian of the day. Miss White brings to the role of

IMPOTENCE A WEEK, CAPITAL.
Brave Weavers, on Meagre Basis, Founded Great Industrial System.

In relating the history of cooperation in England, in the first of his new series, soldiers of the Common Good" in the December Everybody's, Charles Edward Russell tells the following:
 "Twenty-eight weavers most of them Chartists of Teetotalers, formed a body with the resounding title of the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers. and under took, in a groping way, to see what could be done with twopence week from each. A treasurer was appointed to collect and care for all this capital, and when enough had accumulated they were to see if they could not buy a little tea and salt fish and jam-on the which national dainties they were nourished-at wholesale prices, and thus save money.
 '"rhey went back to work. the twenty eight with the rest of the beaten army of Force and took the small wage and the hard defeat and turned in their twopence a week and waited. In December, 1s44. they found they were in possession of the magnificent sum of G2S G140), and were embarra ssed to know what to do with it. In a Rochdale street that bore the inauspicious name of Toad Lane they found what was described as the most dismal barracks in the dismal town, an ancient warehouse of ill-favored aspect. Therein they rented ground-fioor room at the rate of $50 a year. and when this had been fitted up with some rude shelv- ing, they had e14 (s70) left to buy stock"

Bradstreet's Review.

New York, January 2.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Though unfavorable weather conditions have deterred distribution of the heavy wearing apparel, autumn-like tempera- lures continue to favor outdoor opera tions to prolong the demand for building materials, and to prevent cessation of labor at a period when there is always more or less enforced idleness. Mining lines, particularly iron and steel machin- cry and associated industries, are active as heretofore and the outlook for 1906 grows even more promising. while the general tendency is for prices of finished products to advance. Clearance sales rule in retail lines, but 1t Is especially note- worthy that orders on spring account are of large proportions; that prompt ship ments are being demanded and that the season was opened three weeks to month in advance of the usual date. In- cidentally annual inventories now virtual ly completed, make exceptional showings. Commodity prices on the whole have reached record level, though foodstuffs range somewhat lower than manufactur- ed products. Railway lines are engaged in transporting a heavy volume of busi- ness, and the car supply is slightly bet ter though in certain sections of the south, for instance, congestion prevails. Collections average fair to good, all de- pending on the territory considered.
 Hides are reported securedly held de- spite many drawbacks.
