MITCHELL MARKET REPORT

A Cats Boarding House.


A woman who had engaged board
for two cats at an animal boarding
house stopped at the desk on her way
out and said: ooh. by the way. 1 forgot
something. What do you give yonr
cats for Sunday dinner?" 1.-THE regu-
lar fare" said the proprietor. II would
like you to make an exception in the
cas- of my CATS" said the woman.
'They have been used to special dishes
at home on Sunday, and am sure
they would miss them very much. 1
am willing to pay extra for the care
and expense" THAT" grumbled the
animal man after acceding to her re-
quest, "is n Of the peculiar phases of
this business. Half the people patron
ling a place of this kind insist upon
our providing a few choice tidbits for
the Sunday dinner of their pets. 1t is
bound to ruin their digestion, but
whenever there is a clause in the con-
tract to that effect special Sunday and
holiday fare prevails."-Philadelphia

THE HOTEL CLERK.
According to This View His Lot is No,
a Happy One.

NoCoFolnS 10 MS view tbs LOT is mo-
a Happy One.
Who is the most envied and bedia-
monded among men? The hotel clerk.
Who uns away With our heiresses!
The hotel clerk. Who gets the straight.
est tips on the stock market? The ho-
tel clerk. Whose pride goeth not be.
fore destruction and whose glory is
never dimmess? The hotel clerks. So
runs the accepted catechism.
Now a truth seeker in Chicago rises
to say that the average hotel clerks
chance in life is a trifle less than moth
Ing. He can't marry. for he is COM
PEELED to live in the hotel. and his
wages won't pay his wife's board.
Even as a bachelor he finds it hard to
save money. When he reaches the
age limit-not a high one-he is dis
placed by a young man.
There are then three things for him.
BE may become night clerk in a coun-
try hotel, a job that he rose from years
before; he may be put in charge of a
cloakroom and look to tips for most Of
his pay or he may try to get other
work, using up his savings meanwhile,
and end his life in the almshouse. Not
a cheering conception and practically
useless to the humorist,-Collier's
Weekly.

Ex-senator Burton, of Kansas,
who is serving ask months term in
prison, will be released Saturday
morning. IN the evening the ex-
senator is going to even up things
with the men whom..he claims were
responsible for his conviction. He
has hired a Eall at Abilene, and for
an hour or more he says he is going
to make things plain to Kansas
people, showing up the political
situation. Bleeding Kansas will
have another inning before the
country and it's people will have to
stand the ordeal just the same.
That is the penalty for having a
crooked senator, and perhaps they
viii be more particular in the
future.

sssase ffoaa Washigssaa he has gives
uas al interesting interview Goa
corning the lumber trust, q bill. soi
the In sestieaiia Of which hs Intro
ducsd In congress. The SENATOR has
naturally taken ONE interest In the
lumber situation since the introouc-
tion of his bill ana he makes the fol-
lowing statement concerning the
effect Of the Investigation:
The department OF commerce and
labor Is now In the midst OF the in
vestigation. Manifsstly. 1t would
not be proper to make any disclosures
at this time as to the facts which
have been developed. An investiea-
ton of this sort is somewhat like
the trial Of q law case.
Results are already reported from
the fight started by my resolution.
1 have received many letters from
towns iG which independent dealers
could not get their orders filled be-
for tie Investigation vas ordered.
They now have no trouble and the
price at which these independent
dealers can sell is often % per cent
lower than the price which prevailed
before my resolution was introduced.
ut is now certain that the matter
of the repeal of the tariff on lumber
will come before the next session
of congress-. I have had conferences
with members of the house who are
interested..and a bill.will be introduce
ed at the next session to put lumber
on the free list.
"All such bills must originate in
the house. Ii it had been within
my power / would have introduced
one in the senate. III the bill ever
gets in the sel.ate, you may rest as
sured that l will not only vote for
it, but that I will give it all the
support / car. 1t ought to pass and

That a nan doesn't alawys practice
what he breaches is shown 10 a little
instance OF +. Fl. Hartman. the
railroad king, when he delivered
himself OF his new idea of taking
the people into his confidence. He
was given an opportunity immediate
~ afterwards, and this is the way he
responded, according to the Pitts
burg Dispatch:
The wide difference between de-
clarlng a reformation and actually
r9tDfining was .succinctly illustrated
by MI. Hartman the other day. He
smoothly declared that he was "go.
Ing to give more attention to the
public'' and also "pive the news
paper more information Then the
practical reporters promptly asked ii
he had bought the Reading road and
received the terse reply, 81 never
answer questions of that sort"

A Reluctant SPORT.

A Denver hotel mar tells the follow
ing story, and he says it's true: One
day a bride and bridegroom from the
country registered at the hotel.
"What are your rates for room ana
board for two?' asked the bridegroom
six dollars" was the reply.
That was satisfactory, and the two
were given a room. When they de-
! cided TO leave, the bridegroom asked
for his bill. 1t was SCI. He was stag.
gered.
"Whaty' he calculated. 'Twenty-
four dollars, That's an outrage. You
said So"
six dollars a day. came from the
clerk-"six dollars a day"
six dollars a day the bridegroom
almost shouted. Il thought you meant
IS a week."
The clerk simply smiled. Finally the
bridegroom paid e the money.
"Now," he said. calming down some.
what, wait a minute. 1 want to 20
upstairs. Keep that money in your
hand"
The clerk didn't understand, but he
decided to humor the Nan. The latter
soon returned with a camera. Aiming
it at the clerk, be took a picture.
This is the highest priced place l
ever stopped at" he explained. II just
wanted a picture to show my friends
that | was a real sport here in Den
| YER"
Then he and his bride gathered up
their telescopes and went out-Denver

Submerged Aristocrat..

Some curious letters are quoted by
Mr.. Percival Bickerstaffe the pedigree
searcher, in an interview with a repre-.
sentative of the London Tribune. One
runs:
II am a plumber and gasfter out of
work. My stummick is empty. but in
my art is the blud Of noble brrth. - :
I claim the family title and tenements
which will not be denyed the same"
A city clerk wrote:
II have long suspected that l am OF
high birth. People tell me that | have
manners above my station Of life. My
photograph herewith shows that | have
an aristocratic cast Of face and will
perhaps be a clew to my ancestry. ]

WATERFOWL is In the throes OF
} school controversy. which is l!kel,
TO lead TO Investigations in tn,
methods used in employing thu
teachers of that city, 1T being alleged
that a member OF the board Of edu,
cation was getting a rake Oft from a
teachers agency in Chicago, ana
that fully half of the teachers i'll
Watertown were employed through
that agency. The superintendent
OF the city schools is also up OF the
carpet and when the board voted to
employ him for another year he was
counted down aud out. 1t is a year
i ago that WATERFOWL went down to
Madison and paid a higher price for
the superintendent services and
now they are letting the gentleman
go, for reasons best known 10
themselves. The Watertown Public
Opinion intimates pretty strongly
that there will have to be an inves-
tigation of affairs before the school
board eau 90 on and do business.
Public Opinion expresses itself in
severe language against the school
board holding its sessions behind
closed doors and then refusing to
give out any Information of what
was transacted for the public good.
1t has been the custom of the Water
town board to keep to itself what it
does and let the public guess as to
its intentions. When a board of
education reaches that stage, or any
other public board, for that matter.
it is tine that the whole crowd be
retired from office. a board makes
a bad mistake when its members
assumes that it owns the town and
can do what it pleases without TAX
ing the people into its confidence.
Some things are likely to happen
at Watertown before school is out.

Women of the Confederacy.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
In q recent issue the Baltimore
Sun in an editorial prints the follow.
ing tribute to the women of the
Confederacy. When the Sun says
the women were the best Confederates
it tells the whole story and no com
ment or additional eulOgy is neces-
sary; in fact an attempt TO produce
either would be Il failure The Sun
saws:
When the monument to President
Jefferson Davis is unveiled at Richmond
June >. under the auspices of the Army
OF Northern Virginia, Mrs. Jackson, wild
ow OF the immortal General Stonewall
Jackson; Mrs. Malone, widow of the
gallant General William Malone. and
Mrs. Lucy Lee Macgill, the daughter OF
the heroic and beloved General \. 7.
Hill, all indissolubly associated with the
fame and glory of the Army of Northern
Alrglnia, will ride at the head of the pro-
cesslOn oil the veterans. No sponsor
or maid OF honor" OF the present gene
ration Is to be appointed, but the women
oil the wartime will themselves receive
the homage OF the Confederates The
Crisis OF 1S61-60 tried men souls, but
it tried their wives and daughters souls
still more, and the women of the South
stood the test well. Xhe soldier had the
JOY OF combat, the excitement and in
terest OF striking scenes; but the women
ut home had no such sustaining emo
tons, but had to endure and suffer
patiently the loss that came upon them
the loss of fathers, husbands, brothers
and sons, to say nothing of the loss of
property and the subsequent ordeal of
years OF broken fortunes and remediless
sorrow. History tells us that the women
were the best Confederates and stood
out longest for the flag.
