him. "Some years ago, when Sher-
man was an old man and partially
crippled by reason of a fall from a
horse, he entered his bedroom late at
night to find a masked burglar ran

THE thief had a big gun trained on
Sherman in a minute. The banker

Let us discuss this matter like gen.

hurt me If you wanted to and might
get away with some little knick-
knacks,' said Sherman. But you
might be caught, and there's n slight
probability that you could dispose Of

would you consider a fair cash propo-

over In all peace.
''The burglar thought he ought to
have so. but Sherman, after inquiring
into the mans habits, said So was
enough. You see.' he said, you're a

MANY WOMEN sPEcuLAToRs.
Wall Street Erokr-s Have Private
Rooms fer Them.

Rooms fer Them.
The number of women spectators
Is amazingly large-much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t Is not commonly
known, but it Is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers
with more often than not, private en-
frances. There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, with
out the knowledge of their family,
their relatives or their friends. On
this account they desire privacy. de-
sire to move and have Il ,ir Wall
street being unknown. Another rea-
son is that the broker himself desires
it, pr 'pally, be it confessed, be-
cause he is anxious that If there be
any scenes" they shall be private
ones, 'far from the madding crowds
ignoble s'rife"-and sight. For truth
compels the statement that women
are poorer losers than men. 1t is the

decree that becomes uncomfortably
d%isquieting when she loses. Even
when she is a winner, and, as | have
said, the proportion of winner TO
losers among women is about n to
twenty, there seems to be in her
satisfaction a kind of righteousness
that is not good to see.

Pleaded for Closer Union.

Again on August 10, 1894, Mr..
Bryan made an argument on the
floor Of the house in favor of gov
eminent appropriation for the Cotton
States Exposition at Atlanta. That
proposition had been strongly OPP
posed, but MI Bryan, among 9th
ers. argued strongly in behalf of the
appropriation, and the proposition
was adopted. In his argument III
favor Of the project MIR. Bryan ue-
clared the exposition would bring the
north and the south together, and
that it would show the progress OF
the south.
The charge that Mr.. Bryan did not
vote for Crisp probably grows out OF
the fact that Mr.. Bryan was IN the
first Crisp contest an ardent support
err Of William NJ. Springer OF ILLINOIS,
under whom he afterwards served on
the house committee on ways and
means. Mr.. Springer and most OF ms
followers thought that for pOIlJlcal

presidential contest Of 1902, that the
democrats should choose either o
northern or western democrat Tor

SPONGES TO SAVE WINE.

How Champagne Makers of Reims
Prevent a Great Loss.
THE champagne makers of Reims
buy lot of our sponges," said a
wholesale dealer to newspaper
writer They squeeze champagne
out of them. They must squeeze in
the years course 100000 bottles
of champagne out of sponges. Mysti-
fed, aren't you?
But there is no mystery about the
matter. Champagne, as it ferments,
is powerful stuff; it breaks the
strongest bottles, and in the past all
the champagne that broke its bot
ties and escaped was lost
'NOw, though, they pack the cham
payne in clean sponges, and every
day or two they go over the plant,
and if any of the bottles have broken
they squeeze into casks the wine that
the spOnges have retained.
This wine, reclarified, refined and
bottled again makes a very good sec
ond quality drink.

Monday, December Z, 1891, the
caucus was resumed and it was not
until the thirteenth ballot had been
taken that Mr.. Crisp was elected by
narrow margin over Mills of Texas.
After the twenty-ninth ballot had
been taken Springer's followers had
dWlndled to 9, among whom was Mr..
Bryan, and it remained for Mr..
Springer, the Illinois leader, to say
who should be the speaker of the
ntty-second congress. Mr.. Springer
and his little band held the balance
of power. Then Mr.. Springer entered
the hall, thanked his supporters and
voted for Crisp. He was followed by
all but four of them, ali of the
Springer men voting after Mr..
Springer's withdrawal for Crisp with
the exception of Snow of Illinois,
Bryan of Nebraska and Martin and
Patton of Indiana, so that the final
result of the decisive ballot was:
Crisp 119, Mills 105, Springer 4, and

UNIQUE SUIT AGAINST ROME
A Citizen Wants $4,000 Damages
From the City for Being Made
to Pay Ten Cents.


An important suit for damages
has been flied against the city of
Rome, Ga, by A. H. Landrum. The
suit is the outcome of charge of
10 cents costs for failure to pay
street tax promptly. In the petition
the plaintiff states that he was ar
rested in October of last year by
Officer McCath and placed in the lock-
up of the city because he refused
to pay an additional 10 cents assessed
him by the city for not paying his
street tax before the books were
closed up. He asserts that he went
to the office of Clerk Cantrell and
offered to pay his street tax, amount
ing to 81, and that Mr. Cantrell re-
fused to accept it until he paid the
additional 10 cents He refused to
do this, and was ordered arrested.
He alleges that Officer Mccain
came to his home and forced his ar
rest, calling in other officers to assist
him, and that he was brought to the
station house and locked up, being
forced to remain in a dingy cell half
a day before he could secure release.
He cites that the law governing the
collection of street taxes should not
have been made, and that his stand
ing in the community has been in
jured by his confinement. For all
of which he wants the sum of $4,000
damages. The case has attracted
considerable interest.
