In Minnesota.

He was a farmer from Arnold and
had driven into town with his mule
team. 1t is many months since he had
been in Duluth and he was going to
see everything before beginning his
return trip home. He wandered into
the Penny Arcade, looked at number
Of the funny pictures and was de-
lighted
Accidentally he dropped a penny into
one of the graphophone machines, de-
string to see more photos. fellow
who saw the "Rube" put the coin into
the machine told him to get the tubes
to his ears. The farmer obeyed and
presently Sousa's band began ripping
off Hail to the Chief"
The farmers eyes danced with de-
light. He dropped the tube. and run
ming out of the building, exclaimed:
Here comes the band and 1 forgot

The Gowns of NIiIady.

The law of fashion and the law of
dress may not be one and indistin-
guishable But at least they are so
closely related that that tribunal whose
authority is recognized in the one
might as we'll be recognized in the
other matter Paris has long passed
flnal Judgment in questions of fashion.
1t now assumes to issue it's DEGREES
in matter of dress, and who shall dis
pute Its title so to do?
A dressmaker-that cormorant and
vulture of the unchivalric imagination
has demanded So for twenty-one
gowns supplied to a lady of Paris, and
sued the wife and husband to recover.
But the court gave Judgment for only
s3,S00, opining that even if the hus-
band gives his wife authority to pur-
chase toilettes it must be presumed
that he intends her to act within rea-
son. The dressmaker, says the court
Is in duty bound to inquire whether
the orders given accord with the hus-
bands financial and social status
Had the Paris court reached a differ
emit conclusion it might have been &C
cepted by the world where such deci-
sious rule. But so much good English
common law and common sense-so
much that smacks of the ancient and
honorable doctrines of necessaries and
implied agency-breathed into deci-
sion emanating from the quarter will
secure 1T double respect and give the
Partisan law of dress an authority that
even 1T might otherwise have had TO
struggle for.-New York Globe.

Curing a Cold.

A cold is different from ham. You
cure a ham to save it, and you cure n
cold to lose it. If it is a ham actor
who is afflicted, you cure the cold to
save the ham, although the audience
may not thank you for doing 1t.
There are as many remedies for cur
ing a cold as there are people. That
would mean, roughly speaking, about
100000 remedies. 1t will be seen
that a man cannot try all of them If
he wants to keep up his music and art
and the side issue by which he earns
his living.
Probably the best way to cure a cold
Is by the old woman remedies applied
by a young woman If possible Soak
the feet for an hour In boiling water,
drink a gallon Of herb tea and go to
bed with a hot brick wrapped up In
all of the blankets around the place.
If the cold is not gone by morning,
look at 1t reproachfully few times
and consult doctor

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. Jan. Shorts in the
stock market were given a good scare
in three or four stocks today, particu-
larly Copper. St. Paul, Reading and
Union Pacific.
The bears who have been so aggres-
sive on the short side for the past ten
days based on the high rates for call
money and solid stocks We're compelled
to buy them back today at much
higher prices.
The trade in Copper was the largest
in many months and was presumably
for the account of inside interest who
are conversant with the metal situa-
ton both in this country and Europe
Their buying was on an enormous scale
This issue opened around 116 and at
the close of the session sold at 1870
this is the highest price it has reached
since 1901.
The advance in Copper. furthermore,
is legitimate as the companys earnings
are larger than at present than any
time since the organization of the com
pany. They are receiving over %
cents per pound for copper which costs
them less than twelve cents per pound
to prepare it for market.
Union Pacific at 17S and from the
opening gong the trade was large and
on higher plane of prices. The rumor
that Mr. Hartman was very sick which
was circulated freely yesterday and in
duced considerable short selling was
denied today. 1t is believed in well
informed circles that the investiga-
tion which is now in progress by the
Interstate commission relative to the
close alliance between Union and
Southern Pacific Will not have any ma
terial effect upon the price of these
securities.
The call loan money market ruled
easy, loans being made at per cent
and at no time ruling higher than 6
per cent. The close tonight was strong
and buoyant for almost every active
active stock upon the list.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Jan. despite an increas-
ed cash demand for wheat. the specu-
lative market reached another new
low record this morning. selling at
1914 or a half cent lower than the
opening. The trade was on little
larger scale. Shorts were liberal SELL
ers on every little rally which occurred
during the day. 1t was reported by
some OF the cash houses that the ex-
ports yesterday reached almost half a
million bushels. This. however, did
not benefit the market to any material
extent The close was the lowest of
the day and indications point to still
further recessions.
CORN-This cereal has shown con-
siderable strength today notwithstand-
ing the weakness in the wheat market.
There was a better shipping demand
reported in the southwest. Cash corn
in the sample market ruled fraction
silly higher than yesterdays prices.

Postal Expenditures.

The expenses for carrying the United
States mail are at present being held up
to the public and the indianapolis
News says in regard TO them:
Undoubtedly our whole postodice
system needs reform. II will come in
times But inefficient and costly as it
is in many ways, we yet could have
made 1t more than pay its way. So
we think it Well that congress should
begin its reform with the railroads.
1t is simply absurd that we should pay

to the system, but to the employees or
officials who have abused the system.

People That Hibernate.

long Island City teacher displayed
to her class a picture of Evangeline
bearing a jug in one hand and resting
the other on the neck of her heifer.
At the same time she wrote on the
lines beautiful heifer,
Proud of her snoW-white hide, and the
ribbon that waved from her collar,
Quietly paced and slow, as if conscious
of human affection"
The children were then requested to
write down their own prose versions
of the stanza, aided by the picture they
had seen. A little Polish girl respond
ed as follows:
''Evangeline came through the mead
ow with one hand on her snowwhite
hide and a milk pitcher in the other"
