PHRASES OF BUSINESS MEN
Those In the World Of Business
Recognize Them at Once.

The commonest commercial phrases
are liable to be new to many people.
Thus 3D. L." ID A." and ID. S." may
mean little to the man who is not in
the world of business, although his
commercial brother recognizes them
at once as bill of lading," days
after acceptance" and days after
sight"
But when it comes to the pautical
commercial phrases, the average man
is lost. "A e" for instance, means
that vessel is of the third class and
can carry perishable goods on short
trips only. II" means that the ship
is in such condition that it can carry
only such goods as cannot be dam
aged by sea, and e. which is the
low mark, shortens the length of the
voyage made by vessels in class II ;"
first-class ship is lettered al" GA
one), and, when she has deteriorated
to the class below "a that letter is
painted in red. The symbol for good
machinery and boilers is IN. c."
which the average person would in,
terpret as member Of congress-
Signs in the medical profession are
even more cryptic. When a layman
reads "Coch. umplum' on bottle he
feels like deserting his physician and
getting translator to calm his fears
This notice, however, is just the doc
tors playful way of telling him to
take a tablespoonful of the prescrip-
ton. If the dose is a wine glass, the
physician writes "Cyanth" and lets
it go at that. ''I'' to the physician
means one; If means two; SIS"
means half and ISIS" means one and
a half.
The medical symbols for drop and
drop by drop sound likes q Choctaw In
dian cursing. "Gtt" is the proper
words for the first and "guttatim"
stands for the second

tain range but not the summit may
be seen in clear weather from Reno
by looking up the open valley to the
southeast. The ore, which is if high
grade, carries silver and gold in the
quartz. In the old days it occurred
typ1cally in great bodies called "bo-
nanzas." The district was noted for
the large scale on which everything
connected with the mining, including
the speculation was carried on. The
size of the old dumps and the kind
OF machinery employed show that
great things were done there. About
$40O ,0OO,O 600 in gold and silver, in the
ratio, by value, Of gold to of
silver, has been taken out of the Com
stock. Considerable ore is still be-
ing mined, but the great bonanzas

until he took you into the firm Now
you want me to give up my friends
the opera, and my parties, and live
on corned beef and cabbage, like any
common laborer's wife. I'll not do it,
sir, and | defy you!"
That the woman was half crazed by
her misfortunes none doubted, for she
had to be carried by main force from
her home after the furniture had been
sold at auction
Make room there!" cried the burly
policeman as he elbowed his way
through the dense crowd that had con-
gregated at the door of Cotton & Co.'S
dry goods store.
She's not common thief, sir!"
cried pale, notwithstanding lad Of ten
years, grasping the blue coat sleeve
of the officer. "Shan't | call a car
riage, sir?'
"A thief's a thief my boy, and
they're common enough" said the po-
liceman, laughing at his own dull
joke. But if she's able to pay for a
carriage, I've no objection to taking
a ride
VIII you please let her stand inside
the door, sir, out OF the crowd, then,
till | bring ene?"
Something in the sad, pleading tone
Of the boy touched the heart OF the
guardian of the peace, and he con-
sented.
The woman who had been taken in
to custody was beautiful blonde of
thirty-tWo or thereabOuts, well dressed
and ladylike in appearance Several
pieces Of rich lace and two pairs of
gloves she had been seen to secrete
about her person. This was not the
the same store.
Why don't you go home, boy?" said
the policeman, as the pale lad fingered
about the door Of the courtroom
Why do you take such an interest in
the prisoner
Because she is my mother, sir,
and the pale face became paler, and
the quick tears stared, and chased
each other down the wan cheek.
Have you father, boy?n
Yes, sir"
Why don't you go and fetch him?"
Il think it would kill him, sir.
Then he doesn't know that your
mother is thief?'
Don't call her that. name She
can't help it, sir. Father says so: but
he is in delicate health, and it would
kill him to know that she was arrest
ed Will she be sent to Jail, do you
think, sir?' and the thin white hands
were clasped together in an agony OF
supplication
That's according to whether they
bring in verdict agin her or in her
favor, my boy; and | hardly think it
will be the latter, seeing as the arti-
cles We're found on her"
The prisoner, as my readers will
conjecture, was none other than the
once admired Mary Sylvester. In
dulged and pampered in her childhood
and youth, she found herself unable
to cope with poverty when her bank
rupt husband fell sick and could no
longer give her money to spend in
extravagant dress.
Thus the sin of the parent was Wis
tied on the child.
The poor woman was pronounced
victim of the species of insanity called
kleptomania" morbid desire to
steal; form Of insanity sometimes
brought on by extravaganza and sell
hshness She was SO shocked and
shamed by the discovery of her crime
that, before the trial, she took her life
in her cell, and thus the sad beginning
ended in a fearful tragedy.

A cLouDED PROSPECT.

Attorneys are generally agreed tnat
another session of the legislature VIII
he necessary to enact an approprla-
ton law to meet The expenses OF the
state for the next two fiscal years.
They are only not agreed as to the
degree of the necessity. By that we
mean that there is a difference OF
opinion among the taxpayers as to
whether certain sections and appro-
priations of the bill were rendered
Invalid by the governors veto of them
or parts of them. But the situation
has been sufficiently clouded to leave
the auditor in doubt, and his duties
arc such that he must see his way
clear to their performance.
One of the disputed points is
whether the legislature in making an
appropriation for a specific purpose
had any right to repeal in the gen.
eral appropriation bill any existing
statute making appropriation for the
same object. Another is whether the
governor had power to veto any part
OF the bill except such parts as pro-
yidad appropriations. And then there
is a question whether the governor,
as was done many cases., in veto--
ing a part of a section did not veto
the entire section.
1t should turj4 out that the leg
lslatLre was within its rights in re-
peal,ng statutory appropriations, the
subsequent actioa OF the governor has
left the general appropriation bill a
nearly worthless measure and it
would be still more nearly useless if
it should further tnrn out that the
veto OF a part of section is fatal

 seemed to like me She showed me no stronger friendship than others were shown. I never thought of this until I realized I loved her. There wasn't t anything I wouldn't do for her, Only once she encouraged me. She always chose me for a partner in our plays
 fellow. Rumors whispered they were always denied it. One night we gave
 a concert. told her of my love; I thought much more of her than of any girl ever knew She laughed and said was 8 hirt. F could see she believed me to be in earnest. She went away to school. As she was returning was called away; have seen her once since. She said she missed me very much while away. Said she didn' t care for the other fellow She is going with him and with no other. have
 tried to forget her, but cannot The girl is seventeen. I am twenty What ought I to do? Your advice will be
 greatly appreciated.
 Seventeen is young for a girl to know her mind. She seems, to care
 for you. School girls are inclined to
 divide their attention with different tacuaintances. They know they can school days are over You have plenty
 of time; keep well in her good graces,
 and Cupid will not forget you in good time
