She Didn't Need Assistance

Monday afternoon, while waiting
for her husband In the ladies' wait
ing room of the Great Northern de-
pot, lady was accosted by a profes-
sional loafer, who bears the cognomen
of Mike Casey. He asked her if she
was waiting for the train. The lady
quite taken aback, answered as soon
as she found her voice, that she
didn't think it any Of the strangers
business. Casey, not to be squelched,
then made a decidedly improper pro-
posal to her. She scorned him, and
on the return of her husband in a few
minutes, repeated the occurrence to
him. He reported the matter to the
police. and Chief Hurst finally round
ed Casey up in Reuters restaurant
He was Immediately taken before
Judge Duell, where he put up an inno-
cent front, and denied that he had in
any way transgressed the law. He
said that the lady sitting by herself,
appeared 10 De lonesome, ana, out OF
the kindness of his heart, he had sim
ply made the proposal to act as COM
pany. However, the excuse didn't
seem to go down with the magistrate,
and he fined Casey s19 and costs.
Casey did not seem to have the where
withal, so he was sentenced to ten
days of hard labor about the city
streets to keep him out of mischief
The streets will undoubtedly be much
beautified from the effects of Michael's
hard labor.
1t is no uncommon thing for ladies,
unaccompanied. to be insulted in the
depot, and in fact about town after
night, and Chief Hurst and his men
have determined to put a stop to it.
The next man caught at a game like
this will, the chief assures us, be
dealt with twice as hard as Casey was.

THE WANING HARDWOOD
SUPPLY.

Although the demand for hardwood
lumber is greater than ever before,
the annual cut today is a billion feet
less than it was seven years ago. In
this time the wholesale price of the
different classes Of hardwood lumber
advanced from rs to 65 per cent The
cut of oak which in 1899 was more
than half the total cut of hardwoods,
has fallen off more than SO per cent.
Yellow poplar, which was formerly
second in point of output, has fallen
off 3S per cent and elm has fallen of
one-half.
The cut of softwoods is over four
times that of hardwoods, yet 1t Is
doubtful IL shortage in the former
would cause dismay In SO many diff
ferent industries. The cooperage, fur
niture and vehicle Industries depend
upon hardwood timber, and the rail-
roads, telephone and telegraph COM
panies, agricultural implement manu-
facturers. and builders use 1T extern
siye1y.
This leads to the question, Where
is5 tile future supply Of hardwoods to
be found? The cut in Indiana and
Ohio, which, seven years ago, led all
other states, has fallen OIL one-hale.

New York, Oct 2A.-J. P1erpout
Morgan has practically assumed CON-
hand In financial circles in New York.
He ts striving to bring order out of
chaos and Gee what can be done to
protect the large interests that are
now IN jeopardy. Up to this time
there has been no organization among
the trust companies officers and Mr..
Morgan and James Sullman of the
National City bank are earnestly en-
gagged In an effort to bring about CO.
operation among these institutions.
Wherever 1t is found that the man
agement Of any institution under sus-
picion hiss been sufficiently conserva-
uye to warrant rendering assistance
that assistance will be forthcoming.
A conference in J. P. Morgan's

p. m. About $50 o'clock FIVE large
bags, said to be filed with securities,
were taken from the Offices OF the

WHAT WHlSKEY DOES.

Alcohol, strong drink, not only in
flames the passions, but clouds the in
tellect. Whiskey makes men ire
sponsible. 1t makes women irrespos-
ible. Whiskey is not the only cause of
trouble. but it causes many troubles
that might otherwise be avoided If
the greater number Of heartbreaking
tragedies could be traced back through
the various stages that lead up to the
awful deed that shocked community
or nation. strong drink would have
been found the active agent which
brought them about. If the broken
homes and blasted lives that fill so
large a place in our modern civiliZa-
ton could reveal their hidden secrets
it would be found that strong drink
alcohol-had created conditions that
led to the descriptions.
Jealousy and desire for gain fur
nish the apparent cause for many
crimes which have their real founda-
ton in strong drink. Whiskey infames
the passions and clouds the reason. 1t
makes madmen of lovers and hus-
bands. 1t makes criminals of well
meaning individuals.
After the murder, justice tries to
even up matters by bringing the guilty
one to punishment She hopes by the
example she has made of him to
brighten other wrong doors into a con-
troll of their insane impulses.
But she is always a little too late.
The hangman's rope or the electric
chair might hold terrors for the sane,
well balanced man, but, however, such
man would never have occasion to
stand within it's shadow. 1t is the
man who loses his self control through
drink who carries out his frenzied
plan for revenge. 1t is the man who
nerves himself by drink who makes
the brutal assault for gain.
The physical effects of one drink of
liquor soon wear away. One drink,
however, may lead to an act that will
stand as disgrace and a sorrow as
long as life shall last

Some newspaper men are terrible
liars. In writing of cyclone out
west one of them said it turned a well
inside out, cellar upside down,
moved a township line, blew the
slaves out Of a whiskey barrel and
left nothing but bung hole, changed
off a farm, blew all the cracks out of
a fence, and, even went so far from
truth as to say that it knocked the
wind out of politician.
