Local Progressiyes say there are plenty of
issues for a third. party here to take up That's
but not sufficient. The voters natur-
ally want to know in concrete form just what
those issues are, and why there is need for a
third party rather than for every citizen to take
such an active interest in clean politics that the
present parties will put up their best men and
lend their best support.

Winthrop's Scheme
Not Quite Successful

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Beck
man Winthrop, one of the busiest men
In the department, has for a long time
been bothered by the constant influx, of
Congressman and others desiring inter
views regarding the advancement of
their constituents. About two-thirds of
Winthrop's time is being taken up in
comforting with these privilege and pa
tronage seekers. He Is determined to
perfect some method of hurrying them
out of his office.
Accordingly, he ordered that his Of
flee Windows be opened one zero day.
Just before one of the longest-winded
Congressman was announced. When the
Representative entered he found the
Assistant Secretary draped in front of a
large log fire, while the only other va
cant chair was several feet away. The
temperature steadily fell and the Con-
gresham shivered. Winthrop mentally
decided that his visitor would leave in
a moment, and was just tickled to death
to think of his own. sagacity.
Great was his chagrin, therefore,
when the Representative chatteringly
said;
IF you have no objection. Mr.. Win
throp, I'll send for my fur overcoat. It's
q little chilly in here
Then he stayed forty minutes longer.

pendent refiners, and sugar stock went
up point on the strength of the ad-
vance. Union Pacific and other rails
had their morning rise and their after
noon setback. Steel was notably weak,
due, some think, to the large short In
terest, which is overdone. and the stock
seems hung in the balance waiting for
something to happen, but no one seems
wise enough to say whether 1t will be a
killing for the shorts or wedge-enter-
Ing for the bulls to boost the market
and drive out the short selling.
For the present II Is a waiting market
with prices showing little on which ia
base either optimism or pessimism as to
the situation two weeks hence.
The market became very dull about
noon and remained so during the first
hour OF the afternoon. Many minutes
passed at times between trades, and
the exchange took ON a lifelessness II
has not known for some time. Two
hours in the morning about exhausted
the professional trading for the day,
and matters were allowed to drift Until
late In the afternoon, when little
activity developed in the evening uI

WILDs OF ENGLAND.

DOvOnshire's Rolling Slopes Are a
 Wilderness In Winter.
 The western quarter of England has a set of literary associations second to no other district, not even the far famed lakes of Cumberland and Vest moreland. The 'Quiller-Couch coun- try" which Is COrnwall; the Black more country" which is North Devon; the Kingsley country" which is all Devonshire, and the Hardy country" which is Dorset, will be found under rated rather than Overrated in beauty and interest, which are greatly in creased by their associations with Lorna DOOne" or '"Fess of the dur bervilles."
 The two great DevOnshire towns Exmoor and Dartmoor are particular ly beautiful and O-er happy hunting ground to the artist. It seems strange that spaces of such Wildness exist within the, restrained and highly cul- tiVated boundaries of southern, Eng land. The casual visitor would find it difficult to believe that on these splendid rolling slopes. purple with heather in August, people go astray and die of starvation every winter.
 No visitor to England can afford to around. May especially is one of the most beautiful bits of country in Eu- rope.-Exchange.

Postponed Her Bath,

Miss Flora Shaw as correspondent of the London Times was once travel Ing through Africa in a bullock wag- OH. The sun was blazing; the bullocks were slow; the dust was indescribable. She was making for a frontier town, where she anticipated the comforts of a bath. At the entrance to the place Miss Shaw, dead beat, dusty and irri- table, found herself confronted with the ordeal of q public reception. The officials read her welcome. She was as civil as she could be. Then she bolt ed for the hotel. She gave but one or der-"Hot water, Quick!'
 She sat on the edge of the bed and waited. Some minutes passed. At last q black servant entered with tin yes sel, in which there was something steaming. Seizing 1t, Miss Shaw pour ed out a milky, odoriferous liquid. She turned to the servant for an explana- ton.
 The hotel was very short of water. As a distinguished guest a point had been stretched for her. They had sent her the water in which the fish had just been boiled!
