the BULLETINS DAILY STORY
TANNING A TERROR.

Matthews rung for a stenographer
and waited. He sat turned slightly
toward the door, his fingers playing
nervously with the papers on his desk.
Matthews was not unconscious of
the perturbation produced in the steno-
graphic department by the ringing Of
his bell. The knowledge gave him a
certain grim satisfaction. He knew he
was considered a terror" and in truth
he had every habit from which a die
tator should be free. He mumbled his
words. He ratified over names. He
sent back his letters badly scratched
up to be rewritten. Added to all this.
he had a cold, metallic CLEAN in his
eye which customarlly CONCEALED the
young blood of even the hardest
stenographer.
impatient push before the door opened
and a feminine form settled itself in
the chair at the opposite side Of the
table. A casual glance showed him
that the face was unfamiliar.
This added to his irritation. A new
girl Those who were used to him
were bad enough, but the new ones!
He took up letter with an exas-
perated jerk and began:
''Winbigler & Rothenheimer, Oska-
loosa, Iowa: We have your favor of

that?' interrupted a gay voice. Amt
that a name for you? Win-what did
YOU say? You'll have to hand that out
again. please. I muffed it the other
time"
For moment Matthews sat petri-
fed. Then he gasped and rapidly re-
covered himself.
"W-i-n-b-i-g-l-e-r and R-o-t-h-e-n-
helm -e-r" he spelled with Icy dis
tinctness.
Thanks. I got It that time. Better
to get it right to begin with n to come
trotting to you to find out what It is
afterward. Amt that SOP"
Matthews looked up into the face or
the girl and the steely glitter in his
eye attempted to get in its deadly work.
IT seemed to miss fire somehow. He
transferred his gaze to the letter in
his hand and began to dictate rapidly:
I'VE have your favor of the nth
inst, and in reply will only say that
we are una BILE to understand the posi-
ton you take in the matter, and If you
cannot reach some more satisfactory
adjustment we shall have to make

EVEN THE DUST CHANGES.

It is now alleged that city dust
changes its color like the chameleon
and at certain stages Of the game is
simply unbearable and drives the
housekeepers to despair We quote
from the Bridgeport Telegram: Time
was when the dust which entered the
house and drove neat matrons to de-
spair was the mere result of disinte-
grafton Of the soil and the general de-
cay Of things. But now the dust is
black instead Of gray and II covers
floor and furniture with a foul-snelI-
ing. gritty deposit which spoils ev-
erything it touches. This is the re-
suit of the soft-coal smoke which is
steadily poisoning the air and Destroy
ing vegetation.
1T renders the painting Of houses a
vain amusement and is fast turning
Bridgeporters into race Of colored
persons. If this repulsive CRIME could
only be induced to lie where It fell
there would be little question of any
cost involved in the operation. The
dust which is always with us in dry
weather is a very real nuisance against
which the most cheerful philosophy is
powerless. At present there seems to
be no way Of avoiding it. The streets
cannot be kept wet indefinitely, and
modern invention appears to lag in
producing any palliative for one Of the
most tiresome Affections of those who
dwell in cities"
Bridgeport is not alone in it's aflic-
tons, and where the streets cannot be
tarred there is no relief. It is hard
to bear, but this permanent nuisance
of close settlement is the price of city
life.

NEW LoNDoN's TAGGED DOLLAR.

This is novel idea which the New
London Telegraph is putting into prac-
tice as a matter of calling attention
to itself, and 1t must prove to be in
structive concerning the work that is
done daily by this useful coin. The
Telegraph has tagged dollar out in
trade and every day 1t is traced in
business channels to show what dol
lar does in the market. The Telegraph,
like The Bulletin, is always putting
dollars out and from this one example
it proposes to give an idea Of what it's
dollars are doing in the community.
1t cannot fail to show also what other
dollars are doing and upon the whole
ought to prove to be a mighty inter-
esting experiment May the Tele-
graphs dollar never find Itself in shady
places or in tricky business. AS long
as 1t is a clean dollar its record will
be Of interest.

CIRCULATION
rREELEss BUSINESS sTREETs.

Chicago has taken decided stand
against treeless business streets and
these eastern cities who are making
treeless white ways" of vitrihed brick
are doing what the larger cities have
seen the folly Of because they are filthy
in winter and hot in summer and dis
ease breeding all of the time.
A Chicago paper says that 1T Is a
mistake TO believe that an appearance
OF metropolitanism demands baroness,
nakedness. A city IS not a great city
in the degree Of its ugliness. The beau
ty which trees give and the comfort
they afford in the summer season
ought to mean a good deal more to a
community than a row Of lampposts,
however decorative. Surely, the stran-
ger could not be as greatly impressed
by a blaze Of light as by rows Of cool
and healthy trees"
II is easier to destroy a splendid
row Of elns and give a public street
an open and ugly look than it is to re-
habilitate it after the trees are down.
It takes nearly a life time to grow a
great overarching tree and It will be
quite number of years before Chi
