Prof. Billy" Sumner OF Yale-off.
cially known as Prof William G. Sum
ner-who has attracted attention by
his wise and pertinent comments upon
the recent financial hurricane and its
cause, has often been called by Yale
men the best teacher they had In col
lege. Prof. Sumner is now teaching
sociology, but he used to teach eco
nomics, and. according to a writer in
Harper's Weekly, he achieved the i'm
pressive feat Of making that subject
entertaining. Sumner was a classmate
Of William C. Whitney. who was very
fond Of the professor and who used to
like TO play with him in New Haven.
Sumner never got as rich as Whitney !;
he never seemed to care to. He
amused his mind in another way, and
he once enormously amused Whitney
by telling his old friend that the Yale
corporation had greatly increased his
salary.
That's splendid" said Whitney.
How much more do they give you.

Two hundred and fifty dollars q
year said Sumner.
And he always wondered why Whit

KEPT FROM DECEIT az VANITY
Chinese Women ealk at Wrenafuiiy
Adding to Age.

A FTenchman, just back from China,
says that the imperial edict against
opium is great blow to the thou
sands who were slaves to the habit.
and all sorts OF subterfuges are re-
sorted to by people who think they
cannot exist without 1t. The law pro-
vides that people over 60 years old
are exempt from the new regulations.
ana consequently the number of
patriarchs has increased wonderfully.
Sturdy men Of 40 and so have declared
themselves old" and where nature
has made the deceit too evident paint.
cosmetics. and other artificial means
have been employed to cheat the eye.
The government was not slow to dis.
cover these frauds, and severe punish.
ment has been inflicted on many of.
tenders. Strange to say. although
women are as much addicted to the
opium habit as men, not a single case
has been discovered where a woman
made herself older in order to be al
lowed to use opium.

Arguing for 4 Deduction.

In Mrs. Lapham's family circle her
powers of reasoning were accounted
most remarkable and convincing Out
side the family her ability to convince
was not so marked.
See here" she said. without releas
ing the ten-cent piece for which the
conductor Of the trolley car had gone
to her side, I've only brought Willie
with me. He's eight. so I've got to
pay his fare. I've left Myra. that's
four and Neddy. that's two, at home.
Now YOU wouldn't have charged me
for them, would your"
mo, madam" said the conductor.
"Your fare, please"
"Well, they'd have taken one seat.
persisted Mrs. Lapham, still retaining
her hold on the ten-cent piece. II
couldn't have held 'em both. thought
Of bringing them. only twas too far.

thing from Willie, under the circum-
ces?"-Youth's Companion.

Men,. Clothes Worse Than women,..

Mons Clothes Worse Than Women's.
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake thinks
that mems clothes are just as uncom-
Portable and injurious to health ~
women's. and as they are the lords
OF creation and women follow meekly
in their footsteps she holds them re-
sponsible for the irrational clothing
OF both sexes. Talking to the New
York City Mothers club she said:
Men wear atrocious clothes. They
are both hideous and uncomfortable
and detrimental to health. | should
think they would be glad to put on
womens clothes. These poor, miser-
able men. l feel sorry for them when
l see them dressed in the same clothes
that they wear in winter when the
thermometer is above so. 1t nlust be
perfectly awful to wear clothes like
that In hot weather. II we're a lord
Of creation I would try to adapt my
clothes to the climate"

The light suddenly went out during
one Of my performances In Water

ever. I shouted out: Ladies and
gentlemen. l am about to perform .
most marvellous trick. l have here .
lemon, but Of course you can't see it.
l am about to cut it in two and bring
out an elephant"
The audience settled down. Squash!
l cut the lemon. And now" l said.
the elephant is gone. 1t has walked
on the stage. But of course you can't
see it-but that doesn't matter"
Sure enough. there was heard q
slow, stunning sound quite appropriate.
although 1t was made by the fat stage
manager, who was shutting across the
boards in his slippers. The light re-
turned. there was much applause and
all was well. The next day a man
stopped me in the street and said
he considered that trick the most mar
velous he had ever seen. and would
be giving 1t again that night, It's
true!-Horace Goldin. In Cassell's

Tfans-Continental Affa ~.

Fermor J. Spencer, Of Denver, last
Wednesday was appointed by the Uni
ted States district court trustee in the
bankruptcy proceedings of the Trans
continental Transportation and Mining
company. Recently several creditors
Of the concern filed a petition in the
United States court and the matter
was taken in charge by Referee Wilt
am H. Harrison for adjudication. The
claims outstanding are said to aggre-
gate $61, 600. the sum being about
equally divided between the British and
American claimants.
The Transcontinental Transportation
and Mining company was Incorporated
five years ago. with capitalization of
$1,000, 600 in 81 par value shares. About
three years ago a number of English
capitalists were interested and in order
to make the stock in proper form for
the London stock exchange the shares
were changed to GOO, 900 shares, having
par value of S. each. The company
was organized by Rees C. Vidler, an
sxperienced and capable mining man,
10 secured by location and purchase
the Vidler tunnel and group of $50
claims, mill sites and water rights.
The property has splendid equipment
consisting of large compressor and a
battery of three boilers; 100-ton con-
centrating plant, boarding and bunk
houses. The tunnel has been driven
about $500 feet on the Georgetown
side and about 700 feet on the western
side of the range 1t will be necessary
to drive over half mile yet to make
connection between the two headings.
The project cnts under Argentine pass,
in the most advantageous point for
transcontinental railroad route, and the
tunnel is intended primarily for rail-
way use. A number of good veins of
ore, however, have been encountered
and developed by several hundred feet
of laterals. When the big bore shall
have been connected, it will furnish an
outlet for the mineral product of the
Montezuma section, and undoubtedly
will be the main thoroughfare to the
Denver smelters as the route will be
but one third of the distance it is now
necessary to transport the product of
the Montezuma region which is rich in
lead, silver and zinc.
1t has been stated that the present
proceedings will result in the compile
tion Of the tunnel, and that the Argen-
the Central railway will use the tunnel
II eain access to the Summit county
camps. No confirmation of the report
is obtainable at this time, for obvious
reasons. 1t is hoped that legal pro-
ceedings will not be long drawn out,
and that the matters in controversy
can be settled amicably by the inter-
ested parties. The Vidler tnnnel pro-
ject is one of merit, and means much
for the future of the mining industry
Of the Argentine district in the western
end of this county,

Quinn could not or prctended he could not get out, for the water is quite deep at the spot, and when Rice reached out his hand to help him, Quinn purposely pulled Rice into the water.
