the Colonel and bit bride are evidently
of sterner stuff. They have iiwt re
turned from a eruie in the Polar --Sea,
where, instead of "spooning" the hsppy

followed the atrenuout life, in cunning

foxes,, many arctic bird, Including a
King eider, the lady lierself bringing
oown two 01 me Dears, it is hoped
this example will not be followed by the
next crop of June brides, or therell
be no game left in the polar region.

CROKER GETTING SENSITIVE.
Richard Croker could stand a good
deal of abuse from American papers
when he lived in this country and was
boss of Tammany, but he does not
propose to take it from British papers.
The London Magazine recently had an
article purporting to show up Mr. Cro
mer's relations to Tammany Hall, and
Bow Mr. Croker has sued the proprie
wt 01 ine magazine lor libel, it Is 1
pity that the article complained of Is
not quoted in the news item telling of
tne suit. Americans would like to know
what it was that has touched a sensi
tive spot in the former boss.
It is difficult to Imagine that it can
be anything worse than some of the
statement printed about him in Amer
ican papers. He has in this- country
been accused of almost every crime in
the calendar, not excepting the killing
of another man. His political methods
have been denounced and his domina
tion of Tammany was admittedly re
tained by policy that placed might
above right, ; y '
Since leaving the United States and
taking up his domicile in Great Britain
Mr. Croker professes to have expe
rienced a change of heart. He is no
longer the political boss, but a respect'
able private gentleman, and he demands
to be treated as such. He doesn't lf e
to have old stories raked up and pre
sented to the English reading public.
Such publicity is not conductive to
friendly intimacy . with royalty and
dukes and earls. He wants the old life
blotted out. , '

HE gaekwar of BaroJa is all WTong. The American type of
womanhood is the finest IN THE WORLD. Everywhere
here beautiful women may bo seen. In the poorest quartan
as well as in the palaces they are found. !

FREE BUFFALO HIDES.
The Treasury Department is seeking
In the Circuit Court of New York, the
reversal of a decision by the Board of
Appraisers In New York that East In
dian buffalo hides are entitled to free
entry. The question at issue is wheth
er such bides are to be regarded as
"hides of cattle," as the term is used
in the tariff, or as "hides not specially
provided for."
r The Treasury Department maintains
" that these buftaio hides are LiJa, ui cat
tie, and are therefore subject to 15
per cent dutjv Several years ago the
question as to the classification of these
so-called buffalo hides came up and
was passed upon by the Board of Ap
praisers and the Federal courts. All of
the tribunals found against the im
porters. The matter then went along
for some years, whenf the importers
presented another case to the Board
of Appraisers, which ruled in their fa
vor, sustaining the claims for free en
try. The Treasury Department does
not accept this ruling, which was
against the previous decision of the
courts, and has decided to have the
matter again submitted to the courts,
wilh a view to having these so-called
buffalo hides designated as hides of cat
tle. The issue is of great interest to
the tanning and shoe-making indus
tries. ' ,,:

Often a person is sized up by his appear
ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And
more often a business house is sized up by
the stationary it uses. A cheap letter
head or a poor bill head gives a mighty
poor first impression and makes business
harder to transact. Good printing costs no
more than poor, printing. The first im
pression is half the battle in business.
You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales
man; why' put up with ."sloppy" station
ery, that gives a wrong impression of tho
impbftance of your business. Let us do
your printing -and help you to make that
ten strike.
