WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK.
Brains of Mountain and Prairie in De-
mand in the Financial Center.

Ever since the early days, when D.
o. Mills, ]. B. Haggin and James r.
Keene "emigrated" from California to
New York, the metropolis has been
drawing largely on the west and south
for its supply of men who do things"
theodore P. Shonts, both southerner
and westerner, who has undertaken to
solve New Yorks great transit prob
lem, is the latest importation in re-
sponse to the call of the east.
The promptness with which Thos. F.
Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society over to
it's policyholders, who now elect ma
jority of its Board of Directors, and
divested himself of the control of the
stock which he bought from Jas. H.
Hyde, and the success of the new
management of the Society under the
direction of President Paul Morton,
have created demand for the strong
men of the south and west that is
greater than ever before. Under the
Morton management the Equitable has
made better showing than any other
insurance company in the way of i'm
proved methods, economies and in
creased returns to policyholders.

poration in the world-the U. S. Steel

AIdrlch's Pretty Parable.

The latet Thomas Bailey Aldrich
wrote exquisitely graceful prose and
verse, but his work was never popu-
lar. At a dinner party in Boston a
young lady said to him: II have been
reading Two Bites of Cherry and
/ think it is lovely. Why isn't it a
big seller, like the works of Marie
Corelli and Hall Gamer" my dear
young lady," said the poet, "in writ
ing the book as well as l could did
my part. If the public disapproves
well, then the public is like the
Commonwealth avenue housemaid. A
resident of Commonwealth avenue, a
lady in reduced circumstances, is
obliged to take in a few dodgers. Her
housemaid is rather a frail, rather
pretty girl, and the other day she
said to her mistress: I'm afraid that
there moo lodger, wot we thought so
well of amt no gent after all, mum.
No gentleman, Susan?' said the lady
I'm very sorry. Why do you say So?
Why. mum, this mornin when he
seen me carryin' scuttle O coal, he
says: THAT there scuttle's too heavy
for a little thing like you" he says

FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
SALOONS HOLD UP
Under New Law-Report Shows In
crease in Some Places.

Columbus, O.-The shrinkage in the
number of saloons in the state under
the Akin law has not been nearly as
heavy as was anticipated at the time
the law was enacted. There was some
shrinkage the first six months under
the new tax law, but it was of no
great concern to the brewery and liz
uOr interests.
The second six months was then ex-
pected to show heavy falling off in
the saloons, but the reports now in
from the several counties show that in
some places there has been an in
crease, while the total falling of in
saloons in the entire state is but 400,
as compared with the past six months
There are for the six months 9,5G3
saloons in the state, paying into the
treasures a half-year's tax Of Sl,7S1,
500.
These figures are compiled by the
auditor of state from the July settle,
ment with the several county auditors.
The reports are for the returns made
to the auditors for the period begin

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste Of
His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var.
ious food products now being supplied
in such variety and abundance.
One. grocer, said, Il frequently try
package or so of any certain article
before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, thought would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such call for it.
At breakfast didn't like it and supper
proved the same, so 1 naturally con-
cluded that my taste. was different
from that of the customers who bought
it right along.
"a day or two after. waited on a
lady who was buying a Csc package
and told her l couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum.
az know just what is the matter,
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes. and
ten minutes of that time 1t simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled;
now if you will have it left to boil full
fifteen minutes after 1t commences to
boil, you will find delicious Java-like
beverage, rich in food value of gluten
and phosphates, SO choice that you
will never abandon it. particularly
when you see the great gain in health.

ored strike breaker employed in the
Charter Oak mine, was shot while in
bed in his boarding house on Willis

ENTIcED BY THE BAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.

Many stories are told of the &c.
centric doings and sayings of an
old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At one time there
had been a fight among some men,
one of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the affray was sum-
moned as witness.
What was Salson doing?" was
the first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around"
"Well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Now, sir, kindly tell us plain
ly what Salson did to this man."
'Why, he-he enticed him." said
the old minister slowly. He enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man-to en-
tice him; and by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing it, "
said the minister, mildly.

The extension of camp life in our

is fresh and invigorating and the
simple labors of the camp, shared
among it's inmates, afford lesson in
the direction of that plain living
which is said to be a condition OF
high thinking. The summer camps
for boys, which have so multiplied of
late, provide abundantly for the ex-
ercise of that superfluous energy
which renders the youngster when
"cabined, cribbed, confined" a terror
to orderly households.

The watering place presently came
into absolute favor with the devotees
of fashionable life. Great attention
was given to display and entertain
ments grew more and more formal
and expensive. Night was turned
into day and day afforded no time
for any thoughtful pursuit. What
did the "quieter sort" do under these
circumstances?
They united to form small and
friendly association whose meetings
were held in private parlors. Re-
freshments were limited to tea and
it's concomitants or simple ices and
cake. A presiding officer, a small
committee charged with providing en-
tertainments, a treasurer appointed
to receive and care for the very
moderate fees intended to cover the
expenses of correspondence and an
nouncement-these suficed for a
quarter of century to keep the club
in running order.
The entertainments offered to this
assemblage were sufficiently varied
in character. Men of science kindly
lent themselves to the object held in
view and instructive talks on many
questions of natural history were
given and enjoyed. Under this head
mention might be made of botan-
ical picnic, at which an expert in
that line of study led an adventurous
party into depths of cliff and valley,
to return laden with wild flowers,
which were duly dissected and ex'
planned before an attentive audience
Music and the parlor drama some

Of themselves.
Years passed in which the butter
fly hunt of fashion began to invade
our quiet, but not yet in aggressive
numbers. A summer came which
brought Bret Harte, DR.. Holland,
James Parton and Fanny Fern, Col
T. w. Higginson and Helen Hunt to
the lovely seaside resort. Those con-
genial spirits soon formed habit of
coming together We enjoyed many
sails across the bay and chowder
cooked on the sands of jamestown,
which then boasted few houses and
only one small tavern. Our evenings
were enlivened by readings, parlor
dramas, charades and delightful con-
versation. The enchanting season
came to an end all too quickly, never
to repeat itself, but never wholly to
perish from the memories of those
whom it had united in friendly in
tercourse.
