The latest from the Democratic con
ventlon is that Tildcn holds a balance
of power, he having 400 votes, but not
enough to elect, requiring two-ihirds
to elect. Two delegates from New
York, Tilden and anti-Tilden, settled
their personal differences by taking a
knock down. They propose TO open
the campaign with a bloody shirt.
John Morrissey is one of the leaders OF
the convention. Seymour declines in
positive terms any nomination that
might be rendered him by the Demo
cratic party. SO for the proceedings
are uninteresting and devoid OF en-
thusiasm.

at all attempted railroad competition.
The original intention of the incor-
porators OF the company organized for
the purpose Of constructing the road
from Fort Scott to Humboldt, was its
extension to Wichita. That object can
yet be accomplished if the citizens OF
Wichita will awake TO realization OF
their interest. Woodson, Greenwood
and Butler counties will unite heartily
with them in the furthcring of the
project. Ii is certainly worth the eff
fort. A direct eastern outlet will be
of far greater importance to us thar
any other. Let this golden opportu-
nifty pas. by, and our capitalists will
have no reason to complain if we are
circumscribed within a railroad net to
the capacity of country village.

The Sewing Machine Demon.

There is petty business done in large
cities, says an exchange, by the agents
for certain sewing machines which is
pure brigandage. An agent haunts the
homes of the poor working women un-
til he induces one to buy machine, to
be paid for by installments. The rates
at which the machines are sold to the
poor creatures is generally fifty per cent
above cash price, and at a profit Of two
hundred per cent, Let a poor seam
stress have paid within five dollars Of
the full amount and fail Of one months
payment, Shylock goes to his lawyer,
the machine is taken away under a clause
in the contract" and the poor girl or
woman left to starvation or worse. The
means of earning her living are taken
from her, and because she is poor and
ignorant of legal forms, she cannot even
get the money she paid or part of it.
A case with somo striking features in it
was brought into police court in New
York. The woman had paid within ten
dollars Of the full price for her machine.
1t was taken from her. Maddened by
refusal to return either money or ma
chine, she sought the "wild justice of re-
venge" with paving stone, which she
crashed through five hundred dollars
worth of plate glass. This is an excep-
tional case. The dispirited things that
see their machines and their money dis
appear together generally sit down and
"have a good cry" and go on starving
as before. This woman's paving stone,
however, has brought their SORROWS into
the light of day. 1t does not very much
displease us to know that the court
allowed the poor woman to go scot free.

The janitor who had charge of Bunker
Hill monument, arriving at about half
past seven in the morning to open the
premises, found two strangers in wait
ing. One, tall, gray bearded man in a
slouch hat, asked if they could ascend
the monument.
eyes" said the custodian, "you can
for twenty-five cents" holding out his
hand.
The stranger produced the money,
and the custodian unlocked the door
and forthwith commenced sweeping out,
raising Il cloud of dust, and paying no
especial attention to his visitor, who was
looking about him curiously, until, half
choked with dust, he inquired "if these
were the steps,"
eyes, all right, go ahead, 60 right up
till you get to the top"
The visitor and his companion did as
they were bid, and stayed some half an
hour enjoying the beautiful panoramic
view from the summit, after which they
descended, Gnd were quietly walking
away when they were hailed by the Gus
todian with:
IL yaf, JuSG WTlCe your names Ill GlltS
book all the visitors who go up the
monument sign their names here"
The gray bearded man laughed and
signed his name, and the two departed.
The custodian never looked at the
book, but some hours afterward was
electrified by one of the officers of the
monument association who chanced to
come in, asking him, in the most agi-
tatcd manner, when Dom Pedro, the
emperor of Brazil, had been there?
"Has Mt been here at all, was the
reply.
"Has MT been here Why, here is
his signature on your visitors book.
What does this mean2
"What % said the custodian, rushing
up to the volume. "Why, good gra-
cious That was written by tall man
with a slouch hat. :"
And so it was but the tall man was
the emperor of Brazil, and this was the
way he assembled Bunker Hill monument,
just like "any other man"

A Picturesque Failure.

When the Nicolai railway was con-
structed, in 1918, from ST. Petersburg
to Moscow, the work was done under
contracts with American engineers, and
the cars and engines were supplied from
Baltimore by the famous establishment
Of the Winans Brothers. The Russian
priests oppose every modern innovation,
and of course they were "down on the
railway. Whom the road was opened
they determined to stop it, and SO they
went in force to point on the road and
set up holy picture to stop the new
work of the devil. The train came
slowly along and the engineer seeing the
picture standing on the track thought
there must be man behind it, and SO
came to halt. The assembled multi
tude raised a shout and the priests
called out that the saint was all-powerful
and would prevail against wickednoss.
The officer in charge Of the train came
out and took a survey of the situation.
Then ne told the engineer to run back
a quarter of a mile and bring the train
to halt. The shouting was redoubled
and the priests were in the most rap
tlrous delight. But their exultation
was soon changed to grief, as the mas
ter of ceremonies told the engineer:
" Put on all steam and go ahead without
regard to consequences. The engine
went ahead and down fell the picture,
torn and crushed by the wheels of the
locomotive. Modern civilization was
triumphant, and the priests and their
followers no longer shouted in triumph.

termed her extravagance, and for spend
ing all the money.
" You ought to save MORE" he said /;
" cannot afford to give you my money,
and then find that you have spent all
when l want few cents"
" You've given me less than ten dol
lars a week, to pay rent and all, for the
past two months, darlingl I'm sure 1
don't spend cent foolishly."
&" But say that you must treat your
self when I'm away from home, he re-
piled, angrily.
His wife cast on him a look of deep
reproach.
"Oh, no, papa" spoke up his re-
manning child, boy about four years
old. "Mamma gibs you all de goot
things; mamma eats only try breat.
The child's words seemed to go deep
into Jasper's heart, but he spoke not.
On the following Sunday the
three members of this unhappy family,
two of whom had so suffered through
the result of evil companions, wended
their way toward the cemetery wherein
lay the remains of the dear little one.
The father wassullen, while the mothers
sad features were family lit with the
pleasure of some expectation, and the
little boy clung to his mothers skirts on
the side further from his father, once
in willie casting glance at the latter,
as If expecting a reproach, if not loud
imprecation.
Thus, silently, the trio reached the
graveyard. Jasper remembered the To-
cation of his child's grave, and at once
struck out for it. Arriving at what he
thought was the spot, he stopped and
looked around, but failed to recognize
the place he was in search of.
"Where is Eddie's grave2" he asked
of his wife.
There" she said, pointing to a neat,
shady spot.
Jasper followed the direction indicated,
and saw a neatly trimmed mound of
earth, surrounded by flowers and Gov
cred with a handsome crown of inn
n1OrtelLeS. The grass around the grave
had been moved, a handsome rustic
seat stood on one side, and at the head a
pretty headstone, surmounted by an
Agnus Del, and the inscription:
eddie son of jasper -
He read no more. One look at his
wife revealed the author of the wonder
ful change in the looks of his child's
grave since he had seen it.
"It was you who did this" he said to
her, " and you went hungry, while feed
ing me on the best, to do it"
Yes, darling" was all the answer, as
both husband and wife, with their child,
dropped on the rustic seat to weep.
"Then here, said Jasper, very earn
estly, 81 swear by the memory Of the
dear one gone before to shun bad COM
pany and become better man !"
And so he did. His early lessons,
those taught him by his good old
mother, finally won the battle with evil
counsels, He abandoned his companions
in dissipation, became temperate and
an industrious man, and found that,
though he had swerved from the path
pointed out to him iu his youth, he could
still return to it, and scorn the sneers Of
those who reviIe duty and laugh at
eObriCtv.

A Fight With a Shark.

The Pensacola (Fla.) Gazette has the
following account of an exciting adven-
ture Captain John B. Guttmann, of
the Pensacola Guards, signalized him
self in an odd encounter and came out
first best. Riding down to the shore of
Escambia bay. the captain noticed a
strange commotion in the water, and that
the beach for a considerable distance
was covered with fish from six inches to
one foot and half in length, some dead
and some still jumping, while others con-
tinued to spring from the water, above
which showed the sharp dorsa! fn of Il
shark, cutting the surface as he pursued
the fish. The sporting spirit of the
captain was fred, and Gpringing from
his buggy he opened his pocketknife,
with blade less than three inches long,
and rushed into the water, which was
thigh deep where he encountered the
shark, and pushed his little knife into
it. The creature did not seem to feel
it, and it's hide was so tough that the
captain could not rip it, so he continued
his thrusts while the shark endeavored
to turn 50 as to seize him. Finally the
shark felt the blade, and retreating
twelve or fifteen feet charged back with
rush. The captain sprung aside as it
attempted to bite him and seized it by
the fin, which was ten inches long, aud
piled his knife while they waltzed round,
the shark continually turning in the en-
deavor to bite. Finding his knife of no
avail against the nine lives Of the shark,
the captain caught up q short heavy
piece of drift wood which opportunely
came within reach, and as the fish threw
its head out of water struck it a severe
blow at the base of the skull which III
stantly stunned it. He then drew it
ashore, where it was dispatched. 1t was
exactly five feet in length. In the
earliest stages Of the conflict Capt. G. s
three companions, who were off iu the
woods at its beginning, came out on the
bluff and called ont in alarm: It's q
shark come out of the water ~ That
Prussian gave his lips their usual twist
and simply said: "I know it," and
went on with his amusement, which he
says was almost equal to some fun he
has had with bears and bull bisons,
numbers Of both Of which he has slain.
