10 Saw She Saw It.

AS the man who writes little items
for the paper sat getting himself fitted
with a pair of shoes the other day he
saw this happen. A woman was get
ting waited on by clerk who wore
on the third finger of his right hand
diamond twinkler weighing at least
carat and quarter. He hadn't al
ways worn a ring Of that sort. 1t was
new to him. He took great deal Of
pride in his new ring. Oh. how it
sparkled when the light was just right!
Once or twice he got so interested In
twisting it around on his finger with
his thumb to position where it would
be most easily noticed by the woman
customer that he forgot to finish lac
ing up the shoe she was trying on
But he had succeeded in bringing
the jewel to her attention. She had a
sharp. leathery, suffragettish face and
a disposition to speak right out on
things.
II see it." she remarked in refrig-
Grated tone. Its very pretty and at
tractive. You wear it with a good air
Of abandon too. I admire it exceed
ingly. After you've finished toying
with it l wish you would go ahead
and show me sonnet hing else-some-
thing with not quite such a narrow
toe."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

all the standing timber '.in the neid
and in the fence" This is said to be
the earliest transfer Of land of which
any record survives and that the pay
ment was made in the presence OF
witnesses. The original form Of the
weighing scale was probably bar
suspended from the middle. with a
board or shell suspended from each
end, one to contain the weight. the
other to contain the matter to be
weighed. The steelyard was probably
so called from the material Of which It
was made and from it's former length.
1t is also known as the Roman bal
ance and is of great antiquity.

Tho Real "SherIock Holmes"

Tho Real "Sherlock Holmes"
1t was we'll known Edinburgh pro-
lessor of medicine who, all uncon-
sciously, gave Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
the idea Of sherlock Holiness" the
most famous detective known In 6c-
ton. Sir Arthur studied under him as
a medical student.
Gentlemen" this professor would
say to the students, II am not quite
sure whether this man is a cork cutter
or a slater. observe a slight harden
ing on one side of his foref1nger and
little thickening on one side Of his
thumb, and that is a sure sign that he
is one or the other" Or to patient
he would say. "You are soldier, and
you have served in Bermuda as nom
commissioned officer" and then. turn
ing to the students, he would point out
that the man came into the room with
out taking off his hat. as he would en-
ter an orderly room; that his manner
showed that he was a noncomm1s-
stoned officer and that rash he had
on his forehead was known only In
Bermuda.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

1t is unfortunate that our sys-
TEN of education, particularly
in our public schools. is such
that the vast majority Of chill
dren. even the sons and daugh-
ters of the working class, de-
sire to become professional men
and women because they have
an idea that such work is more
genteel than that in the trades,
with the result that the profess
sions are overcrowded with peo-
pie who are untitled for the oc-
equations which they have Sc
lected as their life work The
next great task Of our educa-
tional institutions is so to dig
Nifty mechanical labor that it
will appeal to the boys because
of the possibilities in it for
them. This will raise the arti-
san class to higher and saner
level and will give the efficient
workingman the place in society
to which he is justly entitled.
1t will take away the false con-
ception. present even among
workingmen, that to toll with
ones hands is to accept a me-
NAL position.-Rev. Charles Stel-
Zle.

PREPARING FOR COAL STRIKE.

Fuel for Iowa Division.
Creston, March, 21.-Assistant SUI
perintendent W. T. sadler of the Bur-
lington route at Galesburg has been
in Clinton for the past two days look
ing after the coal movements which
are being made on that road into
Clinton for delivery to the Northwest
ern railway a this point.
The Burlington road has been max
ing deliveries of coal to the North
western from Girard, ILL.,, at Clinton all
winter at the rate Of one or two train
loads per day. During the past week
the amount delivered has been doubled.
Between two and four heavy trainloads
a day have been laid down here OF
between forty and fifty carloads each.
This amounts to between 5000 and H.
600 tons of fuel day. Agent Harry
Freed the Clinton agent for the Bur
lington and Rock Island companies,
says that this is by far the heaviest
coal movement into Clinton since the
deliveries by the Burlington company
were started last January.
The strike of the soft coal miners
lis regarded as a certainty by all rail-
road officials, and this is the reason
for the strenuous efforts on the part
of the Northwestern to build up It's
coal supply The coal which Is delv-
cred in Clinton by the Burlington rail-
road is not unloaded here, but 1T is
imm ediately made up into trains on
the Northwestern railway and carried
west The heavy coal deliveries which
are being accepted by the Northwest
ern at Clinton and which nave been
continuing for some time show the far
sighted policy Of that company IN
guarding against a pinch during the
coming strike The same anxiety Tor
surplus of coal is being shown by all
! of the western roads.
