Philadelphia dealers estimate that their men patrons throw away $30,- 000 worth of hats a week. Upon this basis it is estimated that New York men discard $50,000 worth; Chicago, $30,000; San Francisco, $20,000; Cleveland, $10,000; Boston, $20,000; Denver, $10,000; Indian- apolis, $5,000; Kansas City, $10,000; Los Angeles, $5,000; Milwaukee, $8,- 000; Pittsburgh, $10,000; Portland, $0,000; Omaha, $3,000; St. Paul, $3,000; St. Louis, $10,000; Washing- ton, $2,000, and other towns and cities sufficient to ring the weekly total up to $200,000, or $10,400,000 a 'yean Probably this is an exceed- ingly low estimate. Some estimates place the annual amount at 15,- 000,000. This amount represents about 100,000 spurned sky pieces, at least; nor does it take into account caps and other substitutes for hats. The average price paid for hats is believed to be about $3, but that gives no idea of how extravagant some men can be on their hats. These include hard and soft felts, silk hats, straws of every kind, including Pan- amas. There are men who order spe- cially made Panamas, as many as half a dozen at a time, to cost $150 each. Some of the rest of us can get a modest straw hat for 85 cents, and from that up. Very good Pana- mas can ‘be had, we are assured, for $75, and some as low as $4. When it comes to soft felt hats, $20 will buy the best, and for hard felt, $8, while $10 will secure the best French imported silk high hat. When a woman buys a new hat she has it sent home in an elaborate box covered with roses like the old-fash- ioned chintz or wall paper patterns. Iv gives it a Parisian atmosphere, even if the creation never saw Paris, but when a man buys a new hat he | i usually tells the hatter to ‘“‘chuck” the old one. Sometimes, very seldom, | he has it sent home, intending to give it to the man who cuts the lawn and takes out the ashes, and then he forgets all about it, and his wife gives it to the rubbish man or the Salvation Army man at the first call. As for the ‘‘cast-offs” that are | “chucked” by the hatter, the second- hand man comes around and takes them away. worth while and sells them at any price, the others are stripped of the bands and bindings and leather sweatbands for the rag bag and the remainder goes to the dump. BUY TEN MORE SEALS. Minnesota will probably have some more than $25,000 with which to fight tuberculosis as a result of the Red Cross Christmas Seal campaign which will close with the end of the year.

Since the Indian prohibitory lid has been on the northern counties a few bootleggers and blind pigs have been captured by the national constabulary and when contraband liquors have been found in vehicles carrying the same, the horses, wagons and autos have been taken and sold. A few days ago a large consignment of booze was captured on the Great Northern train, the parties in control of it were taken into custody and the booze destroyed, but the train on which it was found went on its way to bring more. If the vehicle of the man with half a dozen bottles is confiscated un- der the law why is not the train of cars, or the one car equally liable? Will some one better informed en- lighten us?—Cass Lake Times.

OTHERWISE. The granting of two leases on the same piece of property, one for the surface and another on mineral or oil rights, was upheld by the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Louis. A mortgage of $5,000,000 on the property of the Merchants’ and Mi- ners’ Transportation company of, Bal- timore is proposed in a plan to re- organize the concern.
