Would Wipe out Cotton Exchanges

Washington, Dec. 20.-Under the
terms of a bill introduced in the
house by Representative Scott, OF
Kansas. all gambling in futures on
grain, cotton and other products
would be entirely wiped out. Mr..
Scott's bill forbids absolutely all
dealing or trading in products of this
sort and fixes heavy penalties on con-
yiction for violation of the terms Of
the bill. The bill does not interfere
with legitimate trading in the grain
or cotton for immediate use on de-
livery. So drastic are its provisions,
however. concerning speculation as
to future prices that It's enactment by
congress would undoubtedly wipe out
the Chicago board OF trade, the New
York cotton and the New York pro-
duce exchanges.

CONAN DOYLE IN AMERICA.
The Creator of "Sherlock Holmes
Told Some Good Stories
While Here.

Not long before his departure foi
England. the Aldine Club in New
York gave him a farewell dinper
where he made an offhand speech, q
part of which is worth repeating here
He began by telling how. on his ar
rival in Boston, the cabman who
drove ham from the station refused
to accept any fare, but politely asked
for ticket to the reading DR.. Doyle
expressed surprise that ,he cabman
should have recognized him, and ask
ed; ''Tell me how you found out who
I am, and you shall have tickets for
your whole family and such cigars as
you smoke here in America BESIDES .
Whereupon, according to DR.. Doyle,
the cabman answered:
IF you will excuse personal re-
marks, your coat lapels are badly
twisted downward, where they have
been. grasped by the pertinacious New
York reporters. Your hair has the
Quakerish cut of a Philadelphia bar
Der, and your hat, battered at the
brim in front, shows where you have
tightly grasped IL. in the struggle to
stand your ground at a Chicago liter
airy luncheon. Your right overshoe
has large block of Buffalo mud just
under the instep; the odor of a Utica
cigar hangs about your clothing; and
the overcoat itself shows the slovenly
brushing of the porters of the
through sleepers from Albany. The
crumbs of doughnut on the top of
your bag-pardon me, your luggage
could only have come there in
Springfield; and stencilled upon the
very end of the Wellington in fairly
plain lettering. is the name Conan
Doyle"
Somewhat more veracious than this
anecdote is the story which Conan
Doyle tells OF an experience which he
had when leaving school. His teach
er must have been one Of those no.
bic old Romans, such as Thackeray
describes as roaring at young Pen
dennis when the Major. his uncle,
called to take the boy away. When
Conan Doyle had finished his course
in school, the head master called him
aside, and, after cycling him with
omlnous disfavor, spoke TO him in
tones as follows: Doyle,
| have known you now for seven
years. and / know you thoroughly.
| am going TO SAY something which
you will remember in after life.
Doyle, you will never come to any
goodr'-December Bookman.

A Memorial Stone.

Upon the question of repairing a
pavement at Swanage being raised, 1t
was ELECTED at a meeting of the ur-
ban council that one OF the stones
was used by Judge Jeffreys for the
Bloody Assize, several of the con-
demned prisoners being hanged on
the gallows from the stone, which
had been taken from its original po-
sition and placed in the pavement
about fifty years ago. The council
readily consented to hand 1t over to
"a gentleman who desired to restore
the stone as near as possible to its
original position. so that 1t might be
preserved as monument, not of
Judge Jeffreys, 1t was explained, but
of the delightful times in which
some OF our forefathers lived. -

shelters For sleeping in the Open.

So great Is the desire nowadays
for an open-air life in the midst of
city that thousands of people in the
suburbs of London, feeling the con-
straint of the four walls of an ordi-
nary bedroom irksome, have put up
shelters in their gardens or on the
fiat roofs. where they may sleep, as
nearly as possible in their inclement
climate. in the open air, says a writ
err in the Washington Times.
The good effects of this style of life
are plainly apparent in the improved
health and spirits of the tenants.
A fresh-air enthusiast has erected
a Simple garden bedroom which cost
but a small sum. A space of . feet
by Z was marked upon the lawn and
at the corners four posts were stuck
into the ground. Upon these a roof
of ordinary matchwood. having
slope of about two feet, was placed.
Privacy requires walls" on three
sides, but a loose blind serves this
purpose in the front. All that was
needed to complete the edifice was q
covering OF tarred tarpaulln to keep
out the rain, and few boards, rails
ed on loose bricks, to act rs floor. The
bed is placed at the back OF the
room" and in such chamber the
tenant will sleep summer and winter.
LET anyone try 1t for a week."
said the architect. ''and he will never
want another bedroom as long as he
lives"
1.-THE origin of this style OF life was
no doubt the fresh-air treatment for
consumptives. You will never find
that such people wish to return to the
life of closed doors and windows"
said a well-known specialist in tuber-
culosis. "They have horror OF such
existence They loath shut window
and reyel in a draught.
"All members of my family sleep
with the windows wide open, and as
result there are no headaches. no
colds and no pale pasty faces. l
have recommended the same idea TO
my patients and they have become
so healthy that cannot make money
out of them" Sts<S(
