There la no career like marriage for a woman." "If I didn't think there was a good man growing up somewhere for my lit tle girt I would be miserable," said No. J. as she patted the golden curls of a tiny maiden at her knee. "You are right No woman doctors and woman lawyers for me," said the fourth matron, with dignified em phasis. To any one familiar with the his tories of these women their opinions would furnish food for serious reflec tion. The first speaker bad married a man who bad never made a living for bis family, except In rare and brief Intervals of good luck. From the af fluence of ber maiden days she had de scended to such depths of poverty that at one time she was forced to sell cakes on the streets to keep ber children from starving. Th husband of the second was a man whose salary gave his family a com fortable living for the first ten years of their married life, but he waa strick en with paralysis before the prime of life. The eldest child, a boy of great promise, died at the age of 12, the fath er followed him In a few years, and the wife waa left to support three young children and herself as best she could. The third was the widow of a bril liant professional man. Bho had $20,000 In her own right. Her husband ran for some office, was defeated, took to gambling and drinking and died of de lirium tremens In a few years. She, KANSAS CITY, Mo. too, had to solve the problem of mak ing a living for herself and two small children. The fourth woman had married rath er late in life a widower of small means and mediocre talents, and, after six years of wedded life, she had put on widow's weeds and entered the lists I . i i i m mmm m Iflf I 1 01 in Droaa winners on ueuau 01 iuur Great Western Steam Dye Works. sr,Z"rK 01 V I All Aiia Vnil In 1.1 hnolfh hAQIltV an1 mm Ufa- ia a uouiiu, sviua.j aajs-sva happiness on the shrine of Hymen, yet not one could be Induced to declare marriage a failure and all were anx ious to secure husbands for their daughters.

All efforts to pull him out proved fruitless and his companions saw that In a few minutes the water would be over his head. "Like an in spiration," says the correspondent, "came the plan of rescue. A small Iron pipe about four feet In length was brought from the boat and placed in Wilson's mouth. He could use his arms to steady it Then oakum was used to cover hJa mouth around the pipe, and over the oakum was placed a covering of white lead, making it water tight The man's nostrils and ears were plugged up in like manner with oakum snd white lead. It was found that be could breathe freely through the pipe and, thus equipped, Wilson relieved of fear and confident of bis release In a short time calmly awaited the rising of the tide, which finally covered his bead to the depth of six or eight inches. His companions stood by him faithful ly In a small boat and It was not mor than about three-quarters of an hour, although It seemed an age, when the waters had receded far enough to let bis head out of water and he could feel that the crisis was passed. When the tide had gone out sufficiently to un cover the flat, willing bands soon did the work of shoveling the sand away and amid general rejoicing Wilson was taken Bafely aboard the steamer appar ently none the worse for his thrilling adventure." 1813 Main Street GAUGLER & SUDDARTH, (I.HMWI u J. 9. tmousH.)

"Hold on," exclaimed the dealer, "you have forgotten to pay for the hire." "My dear sir," was the cool reply "there Is no hiring In the case. I have been driving my own horse and trap all day," and he left the astonished man to his reflections. Exchange. LOW RENTS IN LONDON. KANSAS CITY STATE BANK. Capital KuO.COi 00 turpi u. SMuO 09 W. O.

The London Dally Graphic, In com menting upon a paragraph which ap peared in this column some time ago concerning the pay of literary workers, smiles at the Idea of f 5,000 a year being regarded as a small Income. I never said that it was a small Income. What did say was that it was small In pro portion to the demands upon It. It would be good pay for a bachelor, but not for a gentleman of family. The Graphic closes Its remarks by saying: "We know of scores of literary workers in London who, In the historic phrase of the cabman, 'wish that they had half the complaint of the new paupers of New York." urom tne Graphic's point of view, $5,000 a year la a good deal of money, tor the Graphio Is a London paper, and $2,500 a year in London is equal to $5,000 In New York. A family man with $5,000 a year in this ilin nnrtn rvf s ffflA tri llva (fl O 1A110A Ofl WILJ ivauuvb can i w v v a uwuwt i I have said before; in London he could MnSiS tllj I Bill lM AWlllllg WO, , an or a a very guuu uuuso.

IT CONTAINS much special information regarding any Nation, Province State, City, Town or Village desired. The knowledge is rarely obtainable from a school geography, which necessarily has only a few general facts and the location of important cities. Railroad maps are notoriously incorrect and misleading, hence the puzzled truth-seeker, where large libraries are inaccessible, is without relief unless he is the happy owner of a knowledge-satisfying, pleasure-giving People's Atlas. All Countries on the face of the earth are shown. Rivers and Lakes are accurately located. All the large Cities of the World, the Important Towns and most of the Villages of the United States are given on the Maps.

The policy of disposing of unentailed estates hss been introduced in Eng land by the titled gentry, who need the money more than they do the owner ship of the soil. During the spring or early summer between 3,000 and 4,000 acres of Countess of Warwick's Essex estates will be put up for sale by auc tion. The vast property, which Includes Newenham Hall Farm, on which are three of the famous hills or barrows known as Bartlow Hills, where num erous antiquities have been found, will be submitted as a whole. But, antici pating the tendency of the times, the rendor has agreed, if not successful, to have it put up Immediately after ward In lots arranged, as far as pos sible, so that the tenants will have an opportunity of acquiring the freehold of their holdings. San Francisco Chronicle. From an Old Mint, It is evident that the recent bond sale drew many old stockings containing hoarded gold from their hiding places. In a lot of gold paid Into the treas ury a day or two ago were five rare old gold coins. They were $3 gold pieces, and bore the dates of 1842 and 1S47, jet appeared fresh and bright. On the faces of the coins appeared the letter D, the mark of the old mint at Dahlonega, Ga. The mint at uanionega was seized by the confederates shortly after the outbreak of the war, and gold coin to the amount of $27,000 was con fiscated. The pieces received at the treasury the other day were probably among those confiscated In 1861. The total coinage of the Dahlonega mint was about $6,000,000, but few of Its coins are In circulation. Those received at the treasury the other day were the first that have shown up there for a good many years. Boston Post, Awniigs, Teots, Tarpaulins, Csvers, 1c. 109 WEST EIGHTH STREET. Telsiktn IfU.

The flame Is leap ing in strange, fantastic form, fifteen or twenty inches upward from the coal and with It is a good deal of black, sooty smoke. The sooty smoke and the flames are one and the same, with only a difference of temperature. The soot which forms the flame is red hot. Every particle of the flame is red hot coal or a particle of the carbon. The real fire we do not see. The Instant that the carbon atoms become really burned, eaten up by the oxygen of com bustion, they are Invisible. In burning three pounds of carbon, the heated state of which gives us flame, the fire work Is done by eight pounds of oxy gen. The oxygen we do not see. The carbon we only see Just before It is burned; and the result of the burning Is eleven pounds of the compound of oxygen and carbon which Is Invisible. Sunday.

It offers the Best Chance for a Paying Investment in the West. The Stock is non-assessable, and its development will greatly enhance it value.
