Congressman Money has been inter
viewed on the Pacific Railroad question
by the Chicago Tribune. His views as
expressed in that journal are about the
same as in his letter to The CLARION
The Tribune in referring to the interview,
says: $685.
Mr. Money is earnestly and consistently
in favor of Southern line to the Pacific
coast, i'm proof of which he introduced the
bill authorizing the construction by the
Southern Pacific Company OF the road
which has already progressed as far east
ward as the Colorado River, and which only
| asks the privilege OF continuing the line
until it connects with the roads already
| built in Texas. This is the bill which Mr..
Money thinks will pass, and the only bill
and he is eminently sound in his Judgment
| that those Southern Congressman stand in
their own iIgnU WHO 1nstst ag0 on o ooein 9
Tom Scott his subsidy of $50 000,000 for
doing what the Southern Pacific stands
ready to do without a dollar of Government
money.
I This is not fair presentation of the
facts. The Southern Pacific or Hunting
ton company asks the same land grant
that was conferred upon the Texas
Pacific or Scott company. But IL does
not ask any government money. Neithe'
does the Texas Pacific. It only asks th'
: government to indorse its bonds TO
interest and it offers to secure their pay
ment by pledge of the donated publ
lands and transportation service for tn
government. Both companies make fai
, offers. The chief consideration is, whicl
is acting in good faith in proposing t
build the road--which one means bushes
which one will better secure the coun
try against grinding and oppressiv
railroad monopoly? The fact that tn
r Huntington company has thus far bee
y unable, or has refused, to pay the COY
eminent the interest which it justly owe
is strong presumptive evidence that it
. acting in bad faith and does not intend
do what it proposes, and instead {
, building the road, it is devising how nj
to do it.

A Story of a Trail.

She was tall, stout individual, and

and she asked, what are you givin'

"Well, here are three dozen, said
the fat party, land I'll take it into

"But I want some yarn to mend my

Truly Good Printers.

As rule, the typo is an honest
man. There are cases on record
where he has been detected playing
sharp little games for the purpose of
securing OF "fat takes;" occasionally,
too, a few OF the craft take more than
is good for them OF the draughts that
cheer and inebriate-mere peccadil-
loes, that would be entirely over
looked in any craft less conspicuous
than that OF the printers. As the
poet says OF sovereigns. they stand
in the fierce light that beats upon a
throne, therefore, their slightest
faults are brought sharply before the
eyes OF men. AS a rule printers are
exceptionally good men, as was
proved in this city of Philadelphia
recently. That model philanthropist,
eminent temperance advocate and
conscientious Snowman, P. T. Bar
mum, was here with what he modest
ly styled "the greatest show on
EARTH" Certain bad men determined
to divide the profits of the unparal-
leled exhibition with the cold-water
exhibitor Of elephants. To this end
they had engraved fac SMILES OF the
tickets OF admission to Barnum's
show. The blocks thus prepared
were perfect. The chiefs Of the con-
spirators took them to aprinter. and Of
fered him an exorbitant price to strike
off at once fifty thousand tickets
from the blocks. The printer nod
ded assent. He saw at glance what
was in the wind, and, like an honest
man-all printers are honest menl-
told the police authorities what was
going on. They set trap to catch
the scamps, caught them every one;
secured the bogus blocks on which
the fac SMILES of the genuine tickets
were engraved. On such evidence
the conspiritors weae all committed,
and Barnum's treasury was made
about $4,000 richer than it would
otherwise have been by the visit OF
the show to Philadelphia. Mr.. Bar
mum heard OF the good deed done in
his behalf by the honest printer. AS
yet he has not sent him gold watch
and chain, nor bestowed on him
diamond ring, nor even presented
him with a copy OF his Autobiogra-
ply. Should no substantial token
OF gratitude ever reach the printer
from the Snowman, it will be because
Barnum. from his intimate knowl-
edge OF men, knows that it is natur-
al for printers to be honest, while
the truly good typo feels repaid in
the consciousness OF having done
good deed and upheld the no nor OF
the craft.-Printers Circular,

True Economy Of Life.

The true economy Of human life
looks at ends rather than incidents,
and adjusts expenditures to a moral
scale of values. De Quincy pictures
a woman sailing over the water,
awakening out of sleep to find her
necklace united and one end hanging
over the stream, while pearl after
pearl drops from the string beyond
her reach; while she clutches at the
one falling. another drops beyond re-
covery. Our days drop one after an
other by our carelessness, like pearls
from a string, as we sail the sea OF
life. Prudence requires wise hus-
banding OF time to see that none OF
these golden coins are spent for
nothing. The waste Of time Is a
more serious loss than the extrava-
gances against which there is such
loud acclaim. s~ =. ea q ~ -
There are thousands who do nothing
but lounge and carouse from morn
ing till midnight,-drones In the hu-
man hive, who consume and waste
the honey that honest workers wear
themselves out In making, and insult
the day by their dissipation and de-
bauch. There are ten thousand idle,
frivilous creatures who are doing
nothing but consume and waste and
wear what honest hands accumulate,
and entice others to live as useless
and worthless lives as they do. Were
every man and woman an honest
toiler. all would have and abundance.
and half OF every day for recreation
and culture. The expenditure OF a
few dollars in matters OF taste is a
small matter in comparison with the
wasting Of months and years by thou
sands who have every advantage So
ciety can offer, and exact as a right
every privilege 1t affords.

to the cause of suffering humanity,

AWOman's ConscIentiOnsness.

Tile Haverehill, Mass, Gazette has
a correspondent who tells the follow
ing story: Perhaps the reader has
noticed while journeying upon the
Boston Lowell railroad at willow
bridge, Somerville, plain, but sub
stantial neat brick house upon the
hill, only a moments walk from the
station. It's doors have not been
opened for twelve years. Twelve
years ago one OF the brightest and
smartest mechanics to be found in
our bustling city-young, handsome,
whose only apparent fortune was his
daily wages, Of which no was very
careful, saving all he could for the
one bright object of his life. which
was to marry her whom he had won,
as soon as they could get money
enough to commence housekeeping.
She was conscientious to a fault,
brought up in the most puritanicai
of puritan families, good, pure and
beautiful. One bright morning in
spring he invited her to take a drive
in the suburbs. They halted after
about an hours drive In front Of this
house. He asked her how she liked
it. or course she wished it was
theirs; they could be so happy IL they
only had house like that. He in
vited her in. The house was just
completed, and very nicely furnished.
Judge Of her surprise when he quiet
ly informed her that the property was
his. that he owned it. Why, she was
completely dumfounded, and, OF
course, wanted an explanation. How,
when did he come possession Of 30
much property? BE tried to avoid
the question, but she was firm. He
finally told her that he drew $780, 900
lottery scheme, and with its funds
built and furnished this home for her.
She turned upon him as though he
was the veriest gambler, vowing then
and there that she would never be
his wife until he gave back the prop
erty which he had gained by what
she termed unlawful means. She
scorned all efforts to occupy the
house. They separated; parted at
the door, which has not been opened
since. The furniture remains the
same to-day as when they left it
twelve years ago, except what age
has done. Both are wanderers upon
the face of the earth, both lives bias
ted.

The Origin Of Old Glory.

The main purpose in designing the
American flag as it exists at present
was to make distinct national stan
dard for all occasions where a nation
al flag is required. Both the stripes
and the stars were originally intend
ed to represent the United States in
Union, their number to be the same as
the number OF States. The act Of
Congress OF 1877, prescribed thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white, and
thirteen stars, white on q blue field,
representing a new constellation. 4"
In 1895, after Kentucky and Vermont
had been added to the Union, Con-
gress passed a resolution requiring
fifteen stripes and fifteen stars, the
colors remaining the same. AS new
states were added, which demanded
additional stripes as well as addition
al stars. 1t was not easy to arrange
the increasing number OF stripes, and
so, in 1918 an act was passed reducing
the number of stripes to the original
thirteen, and making the number OF
stars equal to the number of States,
the new star to be added on the 4th of
July next succeeding the admission
OF new State.
AS to the colors. there is nothing
but surmise. Some suppose the red
and the white were adopted from the
red flag of the British army, and the
white flag or the navy. Others have
suggested that the entire flag was
borrowed, stars and all, from the
coat Of arms Of the Washington fami-
ly. But there is nothing sure about
it.-Philadelphia Ledger.

BE ChearfuI IL you Would be Healthy.

BE Chearful IL you Would be Healthy.
Happy dispositioned people are
generally healthy people. The men,
tai condition has far more influence
On the bodily health than Is general
ly supposed. 1t Is true that the all
ments OF the body cause depressing
and morbid conditions Of the mind;
but it is no less true that sorro wful
and disagreeable emotions produce
disease in persons who, uninhuenced
by them, would be sound in health.
Agreeable emotions set In motion
nervous currents which stimulate
blood, brain, and every part OF the
system, into healthful activity; while
grief, disappointment of feeling, and
brooding over present sorrows or
past mistekes, depress all the vital
forces. To be physically well we
must, in general. be happy. The re-
verse, however, is not always true;
for one may be happy and cheerful,
and yet be a constant sufferer in
body. Still, even in those cases,
cheerfulness will be found wonder
ful lightner of pain.-Sel.
