A LINE OF TALK.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Two telephone girls were talking over
the wire one afternoon. The subject of
the conversation was a lawn party, which
was to take place the next day. Both
were discussing what they should wear,
and after five minutes had come to no
decision.
In the midst of this important CONVEX
sation masculine voice interrupted ask
ing humbly what number he had. The
lack of any reply did not squelch the in
|, quirer, for he asked again for the num-
Der.
One of the girls became indignant, and
scornfully asked:
what line do you think you are on,
anyhow"
WELL said the man, Il am not sure,
but judging from what I have heard L
should say I was on a clothesline"

WHAT "MERcERIzED" MEANS.
A Process of Initiating Silk Disregard
ed for Many Years.

From the Craftsman.
Mercerized cotton was first introduce
as substitute for silk some 10 or
years ago, although the process for NAL
ing 1t was invented about 1910 by cell
brated English dyer, John Mercer. He dill
covered that when cotton, either in elol
or in yarn, was subjected for short ti1ll
to the action of strong caustic alkali, a j
then thoroughly washed, the resulting NJ
terial was much stronger than before, II
shrunk very considerably, and had Il
much greater affinity for dyestuffs. nj
Ger patented his discovery and made SCI
use of 1t in calico printing, but Ii
process was nearly forgotten until, in 1ee
it was discovered that by proper trfel

The Man From the West.

ARENAS ]. Smith of Central City, Colo,
is in Birmingham for few days stay.
He is a very interesting man, and some
of his recitals of experiences in Colorado,
Utah and wyoming, would read well i'll
Daredevil Dicks Deeds Mr.. smith
went from Michigan to the west over
30 years ago. He is of the frank, honest
Scotch-Irish class, and his tales are from
actual experiences. He has located some
of the best mines in the west.
Speaking of matters in that section he
said:
81 am the same Smith who pushed the
matter of the coal land grabbing of the
Union Pacific in Horse-Thief Gulch,
Wyoming. l have mistakenly urged this
matter, first on Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, then Secretary Garfield and
finally 1 succeeded in getting the inter
state commerce commission to take it up.
The Union Pacific through dummies, has
acquired over 5000 acres of valuable coal
land in one body. There is bill pending
in the present Congress whereby Sena-
tor Warren and others hope to save the
road from releasing it. There is just
one small paragraph in this bill which
provides that where parties have paid
for these lands they may hold the same.
This is to prevent action to set aside the
patents. 1t has been agreed by the gov
eminent counsel and the Union Pacific
railroad that If this bill does not be-
come law in this Congress, that the
railroad will release its claim to the land
mentioned which is worth an immense
sum now"
Mr. Smith has copies of extensive cor
respandence with one-time Secretary or
the Interior Hitchcock, and other gov
ernment officials, together with many
columns of Denver and other newspaper
articles on these celebrated cases. And
in all of them ARENAS Smith appears
as the principal person in the move TO
make the Union Pacific disgorge.
