Sharkey Oazed.
 Sharkev, very badly daZed, man. aged to sit up and take the count, while Mccoy smiling waited, conf dent that Sharkey would never rise in time. Sharkey did. And, gath ering himself again for a single ef fort, Mccoy put all the force he had left into another fiattening blow. This time Sharkey sat down. looked puzzled, and jumped up. Mccoy had beaten himself He had used all of his strength in a vain effort. When he saw Sharkey rise he knew that he was beaten.
 Sharkey, stolid man without nerves, had taken McCoy's most deadly punch, and was on his feet again as strong as ever. Realization of the fact that he couldn't knock Sharkey out affected McCov's high strung nervous system. He was like a man with a double-barreled shotgun who had fired both loads and didn't have time to slip in an other shell.
 Tom O'Rourke chased Tommy Ryan from the sailors corner and ordered Sharkey to "cut that box ing out and fight" Sharkey tore into Mccoy and gave him a fear full hauling. Mccoy, sneering and dancing, stalled with all his won- derful skill. but he couldn't keep away and he couldn't gather force

Useless Speculation.

Metaphysics" said Mayor Crump at a Democratic banquet in Memphis lis a subject that always makes me think of an elderly couple in Chattanooga.
 "I often wonder the wife said sadly one day to her husband, whether all those VOWS and pro- testations you made me during our courtship were really true?'
 Well, well, my dear the hus- band mildly answered mildly, whats the difference whether they were true or not. since we both believed them?'"

JIM HILL BREAKS CIRCLE
Northern Railway Wizard Said to
 Have Entered California.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. ,. - James J. Hill now owns the West ern Pacific railway This news wat conveyed here by information of the incorporation of the United Prop critics company of California, which is said to have oyer $2OO.000,00O be. hind it. This gees far to prove the fact which has been a suspicion in railway circles for some weeks. that Nr. Hill had acquired control of the Western Pacific, starting with a con solidation of the koy route. Oak land Traction and Lewis water and power properties, and with an actual cash investment of S35, 100000.
 There is at the disposal of the company resources for foreign cap ital aegrecating s35, 900. This construction of docks and termin- ais, and in the building of lines of railways. Both will be extended to transcontinental lines. The rela- tions Cf the United Properties com pany and the Western Pacific is close and there is a strong indication that tho foreipn capital behind this is closely allied with the Great Nor thern group, and that, while spec ulation has run the gamut of con- lecture as to how and when Jim Hill would succeed in forcing an en- trance into California, Hill has ac- complished coup of vastly greater dimcnsions than has been imagined in the widest conjectures that have found their way into print recently.

IF1I TI--TT I-- --7---------- USE FOR DISCARDED THINGS Shoe Buckles, Belts and sbahhv Leather Articles Can Be Re
 stored to Usefulness.

Has it ever occurred to some wom- en that if they occasionally went through the boxes and baskets of things that have been put away. "too good to throw away and too shabby to use," that there are many little things among their contents that could be put to use once more. What woman does not possess in some niche or corner of her room a box of old belt or shoe buckles, pocketbooks belts and numerous other articles of woman,s attire. Otter a trip to the seashore has rusted steel buckles which are then put aside as useless These buckles, however, can very cas- fly be cleaned by using emery DOW der made into paste with some oil. This should be applied to the buckles, where it is left for few mo- ments and allowed to soak into the rust. This should then be thorough ly removed with soft cloth dipped In oil and finally polished with a clean cloth.
 For the shabby leather articles all the stores are selling preparations which will color, bronze or blacken to suit the individual taste. Bits of lace can be resurrected and laun- dered, ribbons cleaned and pressed, brass buckles cleaned with metal pol- ish and rhinestones or brilliants with a dry powder.

ECCENTRIC POET.

Queer stories are told of the most unusual methods of work and cap- rices of Gerard de Nerval, the French poet. He followed inspira- ton literally, scribbled a line upon an omnibus, couplet upon the para pet of Pont Neuf, in taverns, boudoirs and greenrooms. His long est sustained effort would be ten lines. His manuscript consisted of such strips held together by waters. Once he entered the garden of tlle Palais Royal leading lobster on blue ribbon. His friends remon- strated. "Why," said De Nerval, "why is a lobster worse than a dog or a cat or a gazelle or a lion or any other beast that people have follow them about? admire Holsters; they have poise, they are serious, they know the secrets of the sea, they don't bark"

TO CURE UNTIDY HOUSEWIVES
Cry of Anarchists" Stops Habit of Shaking TabIecIoth Out
 of Window.

Apparently the best way to break untidy housewives of the habit of shaking tablecloth out of the win dow Is to shout Anarchist" at them. This can easily be done if the table cloth is red and the neighborhood se- ditious. A policeman whose special ty is anarchists gave valuable aid to a settlement worker who had expati- ated in vain on the beauties of crumb tray and brush. The woman she labored with watched each dem- onstration and said: "Oh, yes, miss :; ain't that nice?" but when they cleared their own tables the cloths were shaken out of the window. One day the visitor witnessed that per formance from the street. A police man saw it, too.
 "Hi, there, you bloomin' anar- chist," he growled. You'll get pinched for shakin' that red rag the first thing you know"
 His threat was an inspiration to the settlement worker.
 "Oh," said she, would you mind going upstairs and telling her that? All these people are scared to death for fear they will be suspected of an- archist affiliations"
 He went. The next time the vis- itor made the rounds every woman made it point to show how dex- trous she had become with brush and tray.

HABITS OF THE SEMINOLES
Indians of Florida Live in Open Houses-CaIico Shirt and Derby
 Hat Their Costume.

The Seminole Indians of Florida sit, eat and sleep on platforms raised about three feet from the ground un- der the roofs of their open houses. In each village the houses are so ar- ranged as to leave an open space in the middle of the camp, and in the center of this is a cooking house. Here food is constantly kept on the fire, for there are no hard and fast meal hours. They go about dressed in native costume. The men wear, on ordinary occasions, merely a shirt of gayly colored calico. To this they add, whenever they can obtain one, derby hat and new bandana hand kerchiefs around neck. This is their ordinary dress. On gala occasions they wear turban, made of shawl held together by band of hammered silver, and sport an aigrette or an os- trich feather, beautiful woven bead belts with symbolic designs, leggings and moccasins of buckskin and a gor- geous calico coat. The use of buck skin upper garments has long since been discontinued on account of the heat; the leggings and moccasins have survived, but are no longer worn about the camps, for they would soon become wet and useless. The women are more fully clad than the men. Their costume consists of a shirt and sleeved cape of calico. About their necks they wear enor- nous masses of beads, from the strings of which they often hang sil- yer coins. Many of the women wear brooches or bangles beaten from sil- yer coins by the native smiths. Like most Indians, the Seminoles do not care for gold in any form.

SAVED FOR USEFUL LIFE.

George Sirian, gunner, U. s. N., who died in 1891, was young boy at the outbreak of the Greek revolu- tion, and one day, as he and his mother were on the beach of their island home, they were warned of the approach of band of Turks. The mother forced her boy into a boat that was near, and, placing him on the bottom, thrust him off, remain ing herself to await her fate and distract attention from the child. He drifted from the shore and was final ly rescued by boat from one of the American cruisers then in the Med iterranean. MT. Sirian entered the navy as boy and by good conduct became a warrant officer, serving his adopted country with credit until his death.

MULE IS SURE OF HIS JOB
pc hetaIned as Mainstay and sackbone of Army In Spite
 of Modern Motor Trucks.

Major General Carter, reporting on the lessons learned from the mili- tary maneuvers in Texas, declares that while motor trucks have been found available in transporting army supplies over passably good roads through country ordinarily smooth the old reliable mule is the boy for use when it comes to mountain climb Ing and packing trails. The mule, therefore, will not be abolished, but Will be retained as the mainstay and backbone of the regular army, the power that can always be relied upon to have the bread wagon on hand and the camp equipment in reach when the days fighting is done and the army is ready to eat and sleep. The mule is not much to rave about for speed, and does not rank high in a beauty show, but for patient toll and dependableness he is there seven days in the week, uncomplaining, faithful and efficient. New kinds of arms and ammunition may be adopt ed; changed methods of fighting, marching and campaigning may come into vogue; improvements in forts and in rations may be invented or discovered, but there is nothing new, changed or improved in the army mule. He is the same yester- day, today and in the next war, the one absolutely finished, unimprov- able produce of the ages. He can only be abolished by the adoption of that universal peace for which we all hope and pray, but which none of us really expects in the near future. And then the army mule will not be abolished, but only transferred to the corn field and the cotton patch. Here's to the army mule. Long may he kick and pull.

CHINESE AND JAPANESE BELLS.

Consul s. l.. Gracey, stationed at Foochow, calls attention in the Daily Consular Reports to Che soft and smooth tone of the bells in use at temples and monasteries in China and Japan. The quality of the tone is due not only to the use of excel lent material, but also to the ab- sence of iron clappers. The bells are never swung, but are always suspend ed in a fixed frame, and are sounded by striking them on the outer edge with wooden mallet.

There is not enough cotton to go
around. and the price will certainly go
very much higher" is the statement
made by Frank II. Hayne of New Or
leans, the bull leader. Coming from
the source that il il does, the statement
is considered as sufficient.
Hayne is the man who caused a
great deal of excitement on the New
Orleans cotton exchange when he Of
fered to purchase 100000 bales Of May
and July cotton at the market price,
then going one better by Offering an
eighth of cent higher than the ex-
change quotations for all cotton in the
city.
He continued by saying: We know
how much cotton we will get between
now and September l. There is not
enough to keep the mills running.
Some of them must close down. The
world needs 27.000.O0O bales. and all
that it will get will be 22.5OO.OOO bales,
which means about 100000 of the
amount required. 1 certainly am OF the
opinion that cotton will go higher"

which has during the past three win

SANCTIMONIOUs sLUsH

The height Of absurdity has proba-
bly, been reached by Gainesville, Fla,
in the Sunday observance law which Is
now In force in that unfortunate viii
lage.
Drug stores are allowed to be open
on Sunday only from to 10 a. m, and
from to D. m. News stands, only
from 1890 to 2:3O. Restaurants must
close except from $50 to 8. from u
to 2 and from $50 to g.
The person who Is unfortunate
enough to be caught in Gainesville on
Sunday must conform his health, his
habits and his appetite to these hours.
II he needs medicine at any time out
side OF the prescribed hours, he must
die for the lack of it. If he wants to
buy newspaper or magazine at any
time except between noon and 2:30, he
must do without his reading. If he gets
hungry or If by any combination of
circumstances, he requires his meal
outside the usual meal hours, he must
continue hungry until the law permits
the restaurants to throw open their
doors and feed him.
And yet, we are told that this ordi-
nance was a modification" of another
and that even this does not meet the
Such mawkish intolerance makes the
average man sick at the stomach. To
put medicine, food and reading matter
on the list OF Sunday violations is to
write down the promoters of such a
law as human varieties of these ami
mails which run to ears rather than to
brains.
We are really sorry for Gainesville,
which, naturally, is a real nice little
city; but to be throttled by such a
sanctimonious gang of numbskulls as
that which seem to have charge of It's
affairs at present, is more than any
town can survive. No se1f-respecting
stranger will permit himself to be
caught in Gainesville over Sunday and
IL we are not mistaken in the sort of
people who make up a considerable
portion OF it's population, all of it's citi-
Zens who can get out of town will hunt
other places for at least one day in the
week-Tampa Tribune.
The proper place for strangers and
travelling men to stop in this part OF
the state on Sundays is Ocala, where
they can have all the religion, morality
cigars, soda water, magazines, papers
buggy rides and all the other things
that make Sunday worth while.
