the railroad treasury is probably
the real cause. Nothing like this

HOOKLESS WAISTS.
And It's Hoboken That Makes the
 Suggestion.

To Hoboken belongs the greatest inventor of the age; for smokeless powder and noiseless guns are noth- Ing to the hookless waist" A boon to women, you say. Not at all; a boon to men, for it is men who have to nook the waists and sometimes their sisters and their aunts. For some occult reason the hooks on a woman waist are so tiny that it is not only hard to see them, but all most impossible to hook them. No sooner is one hooked than the other flles open. The eyes are usually made of a bit of thread which snaps at the slightest touch and woe be- tlae the man when this happens when he mumbleS words unfit 10 print, his wife says she doesn't see what he is making such a fuss about
 IT my arms were only little long CT, she adds, "I could do it myself" Then she puts her arms behind her and squirms her fingers up and down her backbone, but to no pur- pose. Men are so clumsy" she snaps, II will call the cook, she can do It without any fuss" So the cook is called from the pudding and In a trice the trick is done. Every nook falls into place when she touch- es It, and what is more, it stays there. In the meantime, the husband has fled, but when his wife comes down stairs she tells him that there must be something the matter with ms eyes-that there is nothing in the world so easy as to hook a waist. So positive is she on this point that he begins to think he must be a "chump' and goes to his pipe for comfort. But this is all to be chang ed with the hookless waist. All the woman has to do is to put her hands behind her. pull string and the thing is done. Do you wonder that I put the inventor of this devise above the inventors of smokeless powder and noiseless guns?-Putnam's

AS is we'll known by all old residents,
that section has never been mined

occurs, or washing of the surface of

the privilege of mining the ground.
But the council could find no law
which would permit 1T to accept the
offer. Several small nuggets were
