She has been employed by the Union Paeifcinuthiscapacltyfor c the past 12 years, and the company Sfinds her services Indispensable. e Mrs. Atwood arrived in Kansas City the other day, and the next day she left with 50 men for Wyoming. Most of the men were negroes. Several of them had the appearance of typical hoboes. Mrs. Atwood has been in the business so long that she says she can tell by looking at a fan whether or not he will make a good hand. When she sees one who suits her taste she ap proaches him without hesitation and asks him how he would like the posi tion she has to ffer. It only requires the work of about a minute for the terms to be arranged, and the man is escorted to some corner where others she has engaged have been congre gated. Mrs. Atwood has no place she calls her home, but she uAiially makes Den ver her headquarters. Most of her time is spent between Denver and Portland, Ore. She says she does not exactly like the style of the men she received in Kansas City, as they do not look sufficiently hardy, but that'labor is very scarce in the far west just now and she could do no better. "The "hobo hustler" is a little wom an about 30 years of age. She has short curly hair that is as black as night. She walks with an agile step and always has a pleasing smile for even the toughest hobp. THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS. .o Ameriea Belonags the Hoor Prof. Draper's Sister Sat Thirty Minutes for Her Portrait. Elizabeth Flint Wade has an Illus trated paper on "Photography: Its Marvels" in St. Nicholas. The author says: "The first accounts of this greatdis covery are very entertaining reading. Prof. Morse, the inventor of the tele graph, was in Paris when the.news was published, and at once went to see Daguerre's wonderful pictures. In describing them afterward, he said that moving objects made no impres sion on the plate; for a picture taken of a crowded boulevard showed it asit entirely deserted, with the exception of a man having his shoes polished. The man's feet, he said, were well de fined, because they were kept statiop ary; but he was without head or body, for these were in motion. "To America belongs the honor of making the first photographic por trait, the artist being 'Prof. 3ohn Draper, a professor, and afterward the president, of the University of N.ew York. His victim was his sister, Miss Catherine Draper. He powdered her face, that the likeness might be more quickly impressed' on the sensitive plate, and for 80 minutes.Miss Draper sat--or, at least, tried t aslf-as im movable as a statue. "The first class in photography was formed In Boston In the spring of 1840 by Daguerre's agent, Gourad of Paris. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, then a stu dent in Harvard, beeameq,an enthusi astle member of the clasp. In his diary, under date of Apr1l 1, 1840, is this entryt 'On my way home I stopped at the shop and got myI daguerreotype thermometer. There seems to be a great demand; there were three or four others there.' " - II* A PISCATORIAL CONUNDRUX. How a Twe.ve-F--t --sk Was Cap. tared with a Ore sw BoDews sn asssaehasetta. Daniel A. Buckley, of C(ambridge had an exciting experienee at his siun mer home at Annisquam the other day, which resulted in the capture of a it foot fish, the name of wbhih is at pres i ent unknown, saye the..joston Tran script. The knowledge of specialists is to be called in to determine to what species the fish belongs. Mr. Buckley is engaged in building a oottageonthe beach at Annisquam. He was superin. tending the work, when his attention was drawn to something struggling iq shallow water. Two of his men, armed with crowbars, rushed into the water and belabored the unknowi. thing with might and main, the doughty Daniel directing their efforts from the beach. The fish was skillfully guided into still shallower water and 14shots from a revolver were put into his body, Finally a line was attached to its tall and after a fight of two hours it was hauled out. Mr. Buckley describes it as 12 feet long, with a sharp snout one ; foot long. Back of the head the body is barrel-shaped, and it tapers grace fully to the tail which is powerful and eapable of executing great -damage. Although there were many men in the erowd which gathered who had fol. lowed the sea, none could tell the name of the fish. Pepular Pallasles lxpleted. A darky remedy that was once upon a time very popular among the ladies of the southern aristoeracey alieted with hay fever was a tea made of the husks of green corn. It was widely used in Alabama, Tennessee; the Caro linas and in Arkansas, with very little beneficial results, however. Finally :r the doctors opposed it very strongly.' on the ground that the decoetion con tained ergot, and for thelast decade it has fallen into disuse in localitees where it was oonsidered to be the t elixir of life of the bay fever lotims. e AND HULLS. - ...FOB SALE AT...

Take the n4 recent case of the Parisian Romeo a nad Juliet. Georges Varian and Marie et Machine are about the age of the im - mortal lovers of Verona, and a feud d divides their houses. They determined - to carry out the likeness to the end. d The first time every requisite for the ,r tragic denoument was prepared. p1 Georges had provided pistols, and the occasion was to be a walk in a de Y sorted garden at nightfall. When the * final orisis was at hand, however, the I pair found they had omitted to pro 'f vide themselves with sufficient forti iI tude on this first occasion to carry out a their foolish project. Nothing loth, a they determined upon making a sec r ond attempt. a This time a well-known reoipe for inq Sstilling artificial bravery was put into I i use. Hoping to compensate with Dutch courage his natural lack of a valor, Vavian drank a quantity of a brandy,.and took up a pistol to shoot a 'his betrothed. Again his nerve failed a him. Still undeterred, Vavian imbibed more brandy. Having at last screwed' his courage up to the sticking place' . by these artificial means, he leveled hiq 'weapon at Marie Machino, this time Swith serious results. He fired and! I wounMed her iin the forehead. Bud C denly, aghast at what he had done, he threw the pistol away instead of S'pointing it at himself, and shouted lustily for help. Fortunately, the boy's hand appears to have shaken, possibly under the influence of drink, 'when he took aim at Marie Machino, 'and the life of the latter wasspared; FPLAG OP THE CUBAN PEOPLE. It Was Pisrt Carried by Naroeoe RL peas n 18a 0-1S Versoles as to Its Mealar.". The Cuban flag was first carried by Narciso Lopes about 18)50-1851, when bhe invaded Cubs and lost his life. There are quite a number of versions as to the meaning of this fag; one is that the red equilateral triangle :stands for equality; the white star reprepresents Cuba, which would gainber independence through a sea of blood, ,and the three blue stripes for the three departments into which they in tended to divide the island--eastern. Cuba, central Cuba and western Cuba, There is another version, that ones .about 1850 or 1851 a group of Cuban ex ilae were talking of the new lag that should be adopted, and trying to get a suitable design, when one of them went to the window of the room in which they were holding their diseu J alon and saw the evening star shining brightly in the heavens, surrounded ,by the glare of the setting sun, while' still higher the sky was blue, striped ,with white clouds. The revolutionary dag Hf Puerto ice is of the same proportions and de sign as the Cuban flag, only the colors are changed. Where the Cuban flag is red the Puerto Rican flag is blue, and where the Cuban flag is blue the Puer to Rican flag is red. It is singular to notice that in almost every country of ; which liberty is th% watchword and I" guiding idea the fag is composed of the three colors-red, white and blue. HOW CANYONS WERE FORMED.

Hr per's 'agasine. -The old lake bed slowly rose. At irst the Colorado river and Its tributaries, or some nameless monstrous ancestor of these, sweep ing over the slowly riting surfatse, planed them down in most relentless fashion, and then began wearing out broad shallow stream beds. But then the country rose more rapidly, su6the water had to out deeper channels in the roeks in order to get oat and away to sea. Owing in part to the wear of the water itself, but more to the ceaseless bombardment of the sus. vpended sand which it bore from the up country, or picked up as it went along, and to the thump of pebbles and bowlders which it swept on in flood time, the river kept cutting down as the strata rose, until finally, when what was left of our inland sea bottom got thrust up so that, towering far above its erstwhile rocky shores, it had to be called a plateau, the Colo rado and it sauilliaries found them.

It took him a longer ate time to get to the Klodike. t In the lust plsoe, hbe made a mistake. H he selected the trail from 8kaguay over the the White pees to Lake Benniett. Now that was n&d buadblt not so bad as his next error. He ria . would not gi itup and go bythe Ohilkat Im. pass though he heard Chilkat was much nd easier. But that does not say much for the ed Chilkat pas. "No," mid Olaf, "I started to go over the White pa and I is goin' to make it over the White pass." li Olaff had a hard time on the trail, though ed* e did't know it.
