Judge w. o. Ridley of Kansas City.
Wednesday morning found Finucane
tired out and supposedly asleep in his
apartment. A pretty person in blue
and white striped costume called at the
club and announced she was a trained
nurse. Manager Walsh knew Finu-
cane had been indisposed and believed
the visitor.
Suspicious were aroused later, At
10 o'clock Finucane and the dream in
blue and white were informed that
they would have to get out. Finucane
smote Manager Walsh three times
some authorities say five-and got out.
The manager was somewhat bruised
and has been in retirement much Of
the time since. Finucane resigned. but
the club refused to accept pending an
inquiry.
Il am willing to meet the directors
said Finucane last night. There is a
little matter concerning the loss of a
jewelled pin valued at $500 that would
like cleared up. 1 admit 1 hit Walsh,
and l would do so again. The young
lady did not call, disguised as a nurse.
1t was all an innocent prank. l stand
for it all, but 1 regret that the story
must get back east
When asked for her version, the girl
did not contradict anything he said.
She said: "Oh, anything Tom says is
all right. He's good kid

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 6.-There is
no place in the world more productive
of fads among hotel patrons than At
lantic City. The latest fad is clipping
the corners off two dollar bills. 1t
was started by Mrs. l. M. Higbee,
pretty young matron of Lewisburg,
Pa, who is at the Hotel Windsor. She
declares that if any one will clip the
corners from the two dollar bills, the
owner of them will never know what
misfortune is.
The last week every two dollar bill
that has been passed over the counters
of the boardwalk shops or the desk of
the Windsor. has been minus it's cor
nerS.
But what do you do with the cor
ner. after you clip them?" a young
man asked Mrs. Higbee
"Do?" echoed Mrs. Higbee. why
we place them in little saucer. set
fire to them and then we use the
ashes"
What do you use the ashes for?'
demanded the young man.
I'VE shake a little in the toe of each
stocking and then we make a cross
with the remainder, over the top of
the door. That keeps the unlucky
spirits away from the wearers of the
stockings and from the room while the
occupant is OUT
A new idea in wave motors is being
tried out at YOung's new million dollar
pier. and it is working so successfully
that a part of the pier is being lighted
with electricity produced by it. The
motor consists of large air-filled
tank or buoy which is so arranged on
cables that no matter which way the
wave rolls it will work the motor to
good advantage. This power is APP
piled to a compressed air engine which
fills large tanks. and these tanks sup
ply the motive power for engines which
run motors and generate the electricity
used for lighting purposes.
DR.. Robert 3. Ludy. owner and pro-
prietor of the Hotel Elberon, is an au-

summer in running the hotel.
The addition to the Hotel Traymore
which has progressed with such Won
derful rapidity, far in advance of pro-
pretors and contractors will be ready
for occupancy for the early Easter sea-
so n.
There was ring of satisfaction and
pardonable pride in the voices of D. s.
White, president of the Traymore Ho-
tel company, and Manager Marquette,
as they spoke of the new section of
the Traymore. yesterday. and of the
early opening date. And it must be
great source of satisfaction to, them
to know everything has gone along so
smoothly and so we'll. The weather
has been uncommonly propitious for
building operations. and this is one
of the main reasons for the Traymore
being nearly three weeks ahead of
contract time to date.
When this addition is completed, it
will be one of the richest and most
pleasing along the entire New Jersey
coast. and yet there will be that air
of quiet, complete restfulness and
homelike aspect about it that has ever
been characteristic of the Traymore:
made it one of the most desirable of
this resorts obstetrics, and built up
clientele that might we'll be envied by
any house in the country.

The Male Niuhtshirt,

An eSthetic country editor is finding
fault with the male nightgown. The
scribe see no affinity between ele.
gance and. the nightshirt. He com
plains. that it shows a mans legs and
flaps when he walks! Suppose it does!
If there is any place on earth where
a man has a right to show his legs,
it is in the sanctity of his own bed
chamber! So long as the nightgown
Is not used for society purposes, what
wots it if it does hist up" when a
man sits on the bed, or flap when he
hops across the floor trying to olsen
gage his hind leg from his trousers?
or course if a man is given to incu-
is not content with parading under his
own vine and fig tree, then, we say,
for the peace of the community in
which he resides, he should wear
pajamas! 1t is a mighty mean sleep
walker that will break the rest of old
maids by strolling promiscuously
about the resident district on moon
light nights, dressed in an abbreviated
robe-de-chambre that lunches indeli-
cately above hirsute legs and hutters
in the wind like a kite-tail fast on a
telegraph pole. ID
In cases of this sort we agree with
the editor, but, otherwise, no!
Oh! here's to the nightshirt, the collar
less nightshirt,
The neslilee nightshirt with tail-flaps
that creep
For though it is skimpish, the vine-bor-
dered nightshirt,
It's cool and it's easy to wear when you
sleep!
Oh! here's to the nightshirt, the thin
linen nightshirt,
The loose Tapping nightshirt that Nor
pheus woos!
Let no one decry it or call it a 'shifty''-
This short-skirted nightshirt we wear
when we snooZe!

His Opinion of Idaho.

An Interesting article o%n''ldaho.'
appears in the last issue OF the
Journal of Education BOSTON,
edited by DIR. A. 4. Winship, the
celebrated educator, who was
present recently at the meeting of
the State Teachers association
there. The article by DR.. Win
ship is as follows:
''Idaho is the Iowa of the In
ter mountain empire. In normal
sentiment, in loyalty to conven.
tionality and conscience, in uni
formity of earnest purpose Idaho
rivals Iowa, and no higher tribute
is possible.
''Idaho has never been a boom
state but a developed and develop
ing state. The slowness of her
unfolding has contributed to her
elasticity, to her well.tempered
condition.
"ldaho is in two entirely dis,
tinct natural, industrial, com.
mercial districts. The.pan.h handle
is in the inIand-emplre, while the
body of the state is in the inter-
mountain empire. The inland
empire section, is a mining, cereal
and forestry region, while the
inter-mountain empire district is
the garden spot of the nation in
fruit and vegetables;
"The inland empire section is
rich beyond expression in forests,
the noblest of forests, in mines of
intense wealth, and in cereal yield
it is only ~equalled in the rest of
the Palouse country across the
line in Washington.

PRESTO POINTERS.

Mr.. and Mrs. johnson of Ced-

Mr.. and Mrs. George Carson

The Uses of Newspapers.

Housewives find newspapers useful
in defeating the intentions of the ice
trust. A newspaper wrapped care
fully about the CONCEALED cake in the
ice box will prolong the size of the
cooling chunk many hours.
There is a slang assertion that the
newspaper cuts some ice but this
is not meant literally.
Newspapers may also be used to
wrap about foot in the win
ter season, thereby retaining the
warmth in the so%apstone and making
matrimony that much easier for the
young man who has Tootsie out for a
sleigh ride.
Dressmakers use newspapers from
which to cut patterns, once again tes-
tifying to the fitness of the great
American new dispenser. Newspa-
pers are, therefore, often close to
women, and their popularity with the
fair sex is not to be wondered at.
The colored supplement of a news
paper is useful not only to the colored
people for fly killers, but when partly
covered with water and put in the
pantry of a fashionable white mans
palace will kill c~ockroaches.
A thrifty housewife rolls newspa-
pers, ties a string around the middle,
breaks the roll in the center and
uses the papers for coat and dress
hangers. All n needs is ingenuity,
the papers, a string-and an extra
coat.
AS a morning fire starter the news
paper is simply indispensable. 1t is
safe and reliable, never explodes and
is always handy.
Love-sick couples in the park find
newspapers acceptable as a base for
Cupid's maneuvers, thereby avoiding
dampness and the willing of crino-
line.
Newspapers are useful for spreading
on newly vanished or dew-wet chairs
and seldom "off set" unless the per-
son camps on the paint-boX supple
ment.
Johnnie could not make his kites
tail without the newspaper. Thus
many an editorial is elevated above
its original eminence.
Laura cuts the newspaper into MINI
ic men. Thereby many a newspaper
is made-not born! BY this same
process such a condition is preeminent
that an editorial writer knows not his
own child after Laura has made doll
babies of his effort.
When the towel has forgotten to
home from the laundry there is
the ever-faithful newspaper helping
along with practice embodied in the
Biblical assurance that "Cleanliness is
next to Godliness."
Every good housekeeper knows the
value of newspapers about moving
time. She wraps them about her fruit
jars and dishes and stuffs the intel
lectual sheets between the ~breakables
In great wads.

Dry Farming.

"eiS'S3 PuciiSHSN
in the Boise Statesman, has been
extensively copied by the Idaho
press; which proves the growing
interest in dry farming, the com
ing popular method of agricult.
ure where practical:
"W. FL. Philbrick of American
Falls is an enthusiastic believer
in the success of dry farming in
southern Idaho. Mr.. Philbricb
is not an idealist on the subject
either, for he has pat lots OF hard
cash into it and is at present.
connected with some of his neigh
bors in an experiment in dry
farming, which. if it proves a
successful venture, will mean
much for the development of that
section of Idaho.
Mr.. Philbr;ck owns nine diff
ferent farms in the vicinity OF
American Falls and for several
years he has been experimenting
with the dry farming process on
each of these. The success at
tending these efforts has led him,
with 10 others of his community,
to 60 out upon the desert about
five miles west of American Falls
a short distance north of the line
of the O.. S. L. railway, where
each has located at 100 home
stead, to join together in the pur-
chase of machinery and tools
necessary to put the entire tract
of 5000 acres into wheat.
The outfit consists of a Reeves
80 horsepower traction engine
which pulls four gangs of five
plows each, two pulverizers and
two seeders all at the same time.
With this outfit they can handle
40 acres a day. That is, 40 acres
which is desert land in the morn
ing will be plowed, pulverized
and planted to wheat by supper
time of the same day.
1t was the original intention
of these parties to put all of this
land into winter wheat last fall
but their seed failed to arrive IN
time so they will plant it in the
spring with the variety known
as the "Gold Coin" The next
fall they e1pent to plant the
ground with a hard Russian wheat
which they have imported from
Russia expressly for this expert
ment.
Mr.. Philbrick says that in the
that have been al
tried about American Falls
there have been returns of 80 to
40 bushels per acre and that as a
cash-raiser there is nothing like it

experiment on a large scale is a
success that it means the opening

Duff Presented Credentials.

Havana, March 5.-Arthur Grant.
Duff, the new British minister pre-
sented his credentials to Gov.
ernor Magoon as the chief executive
of the Cuban republic. The affair
was attended with unusual ceremony.

Kood will towards the Cuban nation.
The minister's credentials are dated
September 1, which ante-dates the in

credentials of Mr.. Grant-Duff as min
ster to the Cuban republic and to
recognize him as such.

APPLIED FOR CLEMENCY

Albany, N. Y, March 5.-Applica-
tions for executive clemency in several
we'll known criminal cases were made
TO Governor Hughes. Mrs. John
w. Wooten, accompanied by her
little daughter and Mrs. Wootens
father, who is nearly 80 years old,
came up from New York to ask the
governor to commute the sentence of
her husband, Attorney John w. Woot-
en-. who In 1905 was sentenced to
Sing Sing for long term for larceny
and conspiracy in connection with the
looting of the Weissel estate.
This is the case in which Armitage
Mathews, former secretary of the
New York county Republican COM
mittee, was alleged to be involved.
Mathews committed suicide before the
case was brought to trial,
David Rotschild, the wrecker of the
Federal bank, was also connected with
the development of this case. Govern
or Hughes listened to Mrs. Wooten's
pleading for pardon for her husband,
and said he would take the matter un-
der consideration.

Increased Earnings.

The Northern Ohio Traction & Light
company shows a remarkable state
ment of earnings for the month just
closed. Gross receipts amounted to
$IO1, ,612.55, against sSS,O4S.41 for Feb
ruary, 1906, a gain of $13,56914 or
$4S4.62 day. This is unquestionably
one of the most remarkable gains in
the history of local traction companies
that has ever been issued, and is a
bull card for the stock. The install
lation of quick passenger service and
the placing of new equipment is held
accountable for the increase.
