Vanity of Men,

. In woman's club, over tea and
cigarettes, group of ladies cited
many, many instances of the foolish
vanity Of males.
"Take the case of bees" one said.
because the queen bee rules the hive,
because she is the absolute mistress
Of millions of subjects, man up to a
few hundred years ago denied her sex.
He called her the king bee
"Pliny wrote somewhere, The king
bee is the only male, all the rest being
females And Moses Rusden, beekeep-
er to Charles H., stoutly denied, in or
der to please his royal master, that the
large bee, the ruler of the hives, be-
longed to the gentler sex.
"Even Shakespeare couldn't bear to
think that the bee Of bees, the largest
and wisest and fairest, the hives abb
solute lord, was a female. No, all the
proofs Notwithstanding, Shakespeare
called her male. Don't you remem-

NEGRO Elouuence,

Some years ago one of Texas widely
known statesmen who is now dead
was passing along street in, Dallas
when an old colored man who had
once belonged to him approached, took
off his hat and passed hand over his
white wool as he asked:
"Marster, gin de old man SO cents."-
"Dan, you are robber."
"How?" asked the astonished darky,
opening his eyes, around which rough:
shod age had walked.
didn't you see me put my hand in
my pocket?"
eyes, sah." 49, ~
swell, you old rascal, you rob me Of
the pleasure of giving you money with
out being asked."7
The old man received a dollar. Bow
ing almost to the ground, while tears
came out and coursed through the aged
prints around his eyes, he replied:
''Marster, wid-wid such heart as
you hab and wild Abraham and Isaac
and de Lord on your side I don't see
what can keep you out Of heaven"

Casualties Expected.

During one, Of Speaker Cannon's bit
ter political fights in his district in ILL.,
nois the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics. Among other things friends
Of Uncle Joe were summarily dismiss
ed from positions they held in the pub
lie service. Some Of his friends be-
came alarmed at this, and ecof them
called on the speaker at his residence
and said, somewhat excitedly: , -
"Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost
their positions in the postofce. What
are we going to do about it?" =
Uncle Joe took another puff at his
cigar and then answered, with benev-
olent smile: Nothing. If you 60 into

some dead and wounded"

Folklore Stories,

The Journal Of American Folklore
has some interesting folk tales Of the
Nez Perces Indians:
"Once the sun fell down from the
sky just about sunrise. Mole caught
it and held it up until people got there
and helped him to shove it back. The
sun had meant to roll along on the
ground instead Of in the sky. It was
from holding up the sun that Mole's
hands are bent so far back.
Coyote and Cloud ran race. Cloud
bet storm and Coyote clear weather.
They started far away to the south,
and for awhile Coyote was in the lead
Then Cloud made fruits Of all kinds
to grow in front Of Coyote, and be-.
looking back and seeing Cloud far be-
hind, stopped to eat. In this way
Cloud caught up and won. This is
why we have storms in winter time"

Wood crackles when it is ignlted be-
cause the air expanded by heat forces
1ts way through the pores Of the wood
with a cracking noise. Green wood
makes less swapping than dry because
the pores contain less air, being filed
with sap and moisture. which extin-
guish the fame, whereas the pores Of
dry wood are filed with air, which

A Candle Trick.

Let a candle burn until it has a good
long snuff: then blow it out with q
sudden puff. A bright wreath Of white
smoke will curl up from the hot wick.
Now, If a fame be applied to this
smoke, even at a distance Of two or
three inches from the candle, the fame
will run down the smoke and rekindle
the wick In a very fantastic manner.
TO perform this ceremony nicely there
must be no draft or banging" doors
while the mystic spell Is rising.

Missouri Railroads Object

CASE IN FEDERAL COURT.

i Are Unable to Operate at a Profit
Under the Laws Enacted by the
Last Legislature. .5 -. =
~ Kansas City, Nov. 10.-Representa
ttves of eighteen leading railroads op.
Grating in Missouri appeared before
Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson here
and began the presentation of evi
dence in an endeavor to prove theil
contention that the railroads are un
able to operate with a profit under tn.
2-cent passenger rate and the maxi
mum freight laws passed by the last
legislature. The state of Missouri is
the defendant and it was represented
by Herbert S. Hadley, the attorney
general and the newly elected gov
ernor of the state.,: =
>. The 2-cent and the maximum fre1gh
laws have been in effect for some time
past, the railroad companies having
previously agreed not to contest the
laws until it could be shown by thei1
actual operation whether or not they
were detrimental to these properties
as claimed. Each of the eighteen rail-
roads will present individual petition.
showing the effect the laws have had
upon the financial conditions of the
particular roads. Each railroad will
show it's earnings from the date the
cases it will be declared, it is stated
that none of the roads has been able
to operate with profit. 4
The state will produce figures to
disprove this claim and it will attempt
to show that the railroads have made
money under the new statutes. The
statistics have been gathered after
months of careful work and the pre-
sentation of the evidence, according t.
Mr.. Hadley, will consume two months
time. The arguments will not be be
gun until the end Of that period has
been reached.
In opening court Judge Mcpherson
announced that he would consider no
further moves for delay. 'This hear.
Ing" said the court, twill be final, so
that the cases may be appealed to the
United States supreme court if neces.
sary. If there is an adjournment it
will be on my own motion and only if
it is absolutely necessary"
