The Inauisitive Woman.

Street car conductors regard inquisi-
tive women passengers with supersti-
tious dread. The other day a fuse
blew out in a Broadway car, and that
car was hitched on as a trailer to the
one ahead. Presently a woman be-
gan to ask questions.

ahead? What would become of us?
Would the car ahead Of that be able

II don't know" said the conductor.
"But don't worry. We won't have
chance to find out. A double accident
of that kind has never happened to

happen once in hundred years."
Just then there came an explosion
ahead, and both cars came to a stand
still. The fuse had blown out
"Confound that womanw growled
the conductor. "That is all her fault.
This wouldn't have happened If she
hadn't asked so many fool questions.
She's a Jonah."-New York Times.

Il Paid.

A little boy of five years, playing
with his sister one day, leaned too far
out Of the second story window, lost
his balance and fell into the yard be-
low. Very miraculously he escaped
being injured, and his parents and
friends were so delighted that they
gave him quite number of pennies
nickels and dimes.
The next day, after he recovered
from the shock of the fall, he was
counting his money and on seeing his
little sister enter the room exclaimed:
Gee, Gladys, look at all the money
I got for falling out of the window!
Why don't you try it?"-Delineato

FOES OF THE LEVEES.
Sources of Danger to the Artificial
Banks Along the Mississippi.

Sources of Danger to the Artificial
Banks Along the Mississippi.
"People who know little about our
system of levees, the artificial banks
built to confine the flood waters that
pour into the Mississippi, no doubt
imagine that the heavy rains are the
only enemy with which the levees have
to contend" said a Baton Rouge man.
"On the contrary, the levees, both
during times of food and low water,
are subject to the incessant attacks Of
living foes, the destructive work of
which costs millions Of dollars. These
foes are alligators, turtles, muskrats,
field rats, fresh water terrapin and
crawfsh. OF all these borrowers that
prey on the Ievees, excavating within
them goodly chambers or tunnels, the
crawflsh do the most damage, with the
turtles and terrapins a good second.
The harm done by the alligators Is
comparatively small.
'In repairing the banks crawfish
holes are often found of immense size.
1t is these hollow spaces that in time
Of freshets cause a caving in and break
Of the levees, which of course bring
on an inundation of all the adjacent
country. The worst part of the bust
ness is that no way of exterminating
these pests has yet been found, and
the only thing to be done is to try to
keep them away from the. banks as
much as possible. baltimore Ameri-

1t is very foolish convention which
lays down that we are grown up when

the construction of the building ex-

Seats will be arranged with special
reference to the convenience of the
delegates to the Democratic national
convention. Ample accommodations
will be provided for the delegates
and alternates and special attention
will be given to the press section,
which will contain accommo dations
for more than 500 working newspaper
men. The acoustic properties of the
building are such that the ordinary
voice pitched at the tone used in
public speaking can be heard dis
tinctly in all parts of the hall.
The vast building lends itself ad-
mirab1y to elaborate decorative
schemes and it is the intention of the
management to place the building in
gala attire in July in honor of the
first convention held within its walls.
The building was projected several
years ago by the city of Denver and
is constructed at public expense. A
great number of conventions choose
Denver as their meeting place every
year, making it imperative that a
spacious assembly hall be provided
for their reception. atF

ASK SPECIAL RATE.
Theatrical Managers Appeal to Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE National AS
ISOLATION of Theatrical Producing
Managers has petitioned the interstate
commerce commission, an amelioratfon
of the existing high railroad rates as
applied to theatrical companies. They
ask that theatrical companies be put in
a class by themselves and that the
railroads be allowed to make special
rates for them. 1t being argued that
travelling theatrical companies should
be treated as excursion parties with
stop-over privileges. s.le.
Until the opening of the current sea-
son it had been the custom of the rail
roads to allow special rates to theatre
cal companies en- tour, but the recent
rulings of the commission forced the
roads to abandon the custom. 1t Is ar
gued that the railroads themselves are
willing to return to the old rates.
The condition of traffic in the south
in particular, has now become such
that many large companies have can
ceiled their dates rather than pay the
rates of the long jump" in that part
of the country, as the increased rates
would eat up most of the profit, If not
all of it. The average increase Of rates
in the south is now cent per mile,
difference of many thousands of dollars
in travelling expenses.
The effect of present railroad rates
is eXemplifed by the fact that book
ings for the south are said to be 20
per cent less for next season than Is
customary with advance bookings at
this time of the year. During the pres
ent season IS companies have cancell-
ed their dates at the finest theaterS in
the south, and other companies, which
continued on tour, have reduced the
number of actors at least one quarter
or one-third to the detriment of the
productions and the dissatisfaction of
theater-goers.
