THE SECRET OF PoPULARITY.-An Aus tin man who was candidate for certain political office was badly beaten at the polls by one whom we will designate as Brown
 The next day the defeated candidate stroll ed into saloon where he owed consider able bill, and, with an air of deep deiec- tion, called for toddy. After drinking it, he remarked to the bar keeper: ''Don't you feel sorry that was defeated yester- day ?" ''Not blamed bit," replied the vivacious saloon keeper. s'But, don't you see, if had been elected I could have paid you my bar bill, but now you will have to wait on me spell" "Yes, that's all right enough" said the saloon keeper, s'but if you had been elected Brown would have been defeated, and Brown owes me twice as big bar bill as yours" s'Great heavens can this be true !? Alas, too late I have discovered the secret oI Brown $ popularity He probably owes all the sa- looms and everybody in town, and they were all anxious to get their pay. Give me another toddy. I'll try and make up for lost time, and when the next election comes off I'll be neck and neck with him, if not little ahead. ."-Zeros Siftaugs.

| Springfield Republican, A noteworthy incident connected with the voting at Bel chertown at the recent election was the presence at the polls of the three oldest men in town, all of whom, correspondent remarks, voted, as has been their wont, in the good old New England style for the party of freedom and purity, The oldest was Thomas Sahin, who is near the close of his Tooth year. If he lives he will round out the century in about six weeks. Born in Ellington he first settled on a farm in Wilbraham, but moved to Belcher- town and settled on the farm where he still resides in the spring of 1913, when 30 years old. A man of remarkable health he has almost invariably been at the polls, voting the whig and republican ticket He is the father of Dea. Lyman Sabin and of the late Rev. Dr. Lewis Sabin of Temple ton. His home is two and half miles from the polling place. The other two men are in their 95th year, Dea. Abraham Weston having been for many years pill lar in the Baptist church. He is the most infirm of the three, being quite rheumatic, though otherwise his health is fair. He has been farmer of the old stamp. The third of the veteran trio was Noble Han mum, the oldest of large family, all of whom he has survived Living on the border of the village he was able to walk to and from the town-house, as he does to the post-otfice on nearly every pleasant day.

OLD DR. RIPLEY OF CONCORD. used to tell the story of eof his old friends, the minister of Sudbury, who, being at the Thursday lecture in Boston, heard the off, ciating clergyman praying for rain. As soon as the service was over, he went tc the petitioner, and said, "Yon Boston min isters,s as soon as tulip wilts under youl windows, go to church and pray for rain, until all Concord and Sudbury are under water'' I once rode with him to a house at Nine Acre Corner, to attend the funeral of the father of a family. He mentioned to me on the way his fears that the oldest son, who was now to succeed to the farm was becoming incorporate. We presently arrived, and the doctor addressed each 0, the mourners separately: ''Sir, condole with you." Madam, I condole with you. , "Sir, I knew your reat-grandfather. When I came to this town your great grandfather was substantial farmer il this very place, member of the church and an excellent citizen. Your grandfath CT followed him, and was virtuous man Now your father is to be carried to his grave, full of labors and virtues. There is none of that large family left but you and it rests with you to bear up the good name and usefulness of your ancestors. II you fail, Ichabod, the glory is departed Let us pray" Right manly he was, and the manly thing he could always say. l can remember little speech he made to me, when the last tie of blood which helc me and my brothers to his house was broken by the death of his daughter. He said on parting, ''I wish you and youl brothers to come to this house as you have always done.

To prove that France once deserved the reputation of being polite nation, the Paris La Liberfe calls to mind that in days gone by the Due de Coislin, although very ill, insisted upon seeing the Spanish Am bassador, who had called upon him, to his carriage: The Ambassador wished the Duke to remain where he was, and, to cut short friendly altereation, left the room and locked the door behind him. De Coislin, fearing lest French politeness should be beaten by Castilian courtesy, jumped out of the window, and was stand ing, hat in hand, at the carriage door when his visitor left the house, "You might have killed yourself, M. de Coislin," said the spaniard 'fNo matter" replied the Duke, "what was necessary was to per form my duty.''

A TRAVELLERS GAME.

In this country, where travelling IS not always interesting, especially in the west ern country, where the days journeys are like reading one page of a book over and over, it is a good plan to consider con- fortable method of spending ones time. Reading is the first and best way of cccu- pying the mind but many persons can not read in the fast-moving and Jarrlng railway train without serious damage to their eye-sight. Everybody does not find games with cards agreeable. l for one hold that nothing eau possibly be duller. I always get to thinking of something else, and have to be reminded when 1t is my turn to play.
 Sometimes take 1t upon myself to name all my fellow travellers, and this is no such trifing undertaking as one might suppose it to be. There is always 8 certain core spondence between a man and his name. He grows to resemble 1t more and more. It is not that one learns to associate the two for it is sometimes possible to guess what the name is, after careful surve. and consideration of the persons appear ancc Whether christening IS greater responsibility than has been believed, and a name Is a sort of rudder which steers us through life, Is, to say the least, an unset tied question. It is very good fun to tr. to recall some former journey, and follow oae's s-f through its successive stages ; but many persons only find amusement il looking out of the windows, and idly talk ing note Of the scenery and inhabitants, Some one once invented 8 railway game a5 which two can play together, or several persons can take sides. It Is certainly a good way to beguile weary hour for i'm patient children One chooses one side oi the railway, and one the other, and counts two for red COW, two for spotted one. three for horse, and four for dog, ane. 50 on, with high numbers attached to i'm probable beasts or birds. It is needless t say that it is an excellent sum in addition and that the one who gets the highest number in an hour wins the game. Ii really grows exciting towards the last, fol the one who is ahead may be hindered b, an unpopulated waste of water alongside the track, and during the passing of it hit opponent catches up triumphantly.-From the Atl0ntic.

Savannah News: A right amusing in cident occurred near Rome the other day A man crossing the railroad tracks got his foot caught fast in a disjointed 'frog, and, while trying to get loose, he saw the Chattanooga train on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road come dashing over the bridge. Wild with fright, the man came near breaking his foot in hls ef- forts to get loose. But the train was al- most upon him, and he decided to unlace his shoe, pull his foot out and leave the the shoe to be mashed. He acted upon this thought, and as he got his foot out the train glided by on another track. It made the man so mad to think he was only on plagued little side track all the time that he took the shoe up and kicked him self all the way up to the depot.

A German poet says that when Satan was hurled from high heaven he was broken in pieces and his limbs distributed through out the world. His head fell in Spain, which accounts for Castilian pride The heart found it's way into Italy, which ac- counts for the stiletto. The legs gyrated 8 long time through space and at last set tied in Franc, which solves the origin of the cancan and explains French fdgets. The stomach landed in Germany, which gives gr.at first cause for beer and ac- counts for the gluttony of the Germans.

Nevada was a cold climate for us. We
were dead broke, half-starved, and clear
discouraged, when along came New
Yorker. He wouldn't play cards,
wouldn't be robbed, and we couldn't
stick him with forged land-patents or
bogus prescriptions. One day we
trailed out and dug hole into hill and
sailed it a bit, and rushed back and
offered the New Yorker the big discovery
for So, 900 cash down"
And he bit?"
"Took right hold like pair of pin.
GERS. Why, he never even stopped to
beat us down. We made a cool thou
sand apiece and made for Frisco"
"Purty cool that was"
"Well, I dunno. If there was any
thing cool in that transaction it was the
way that New Yorker hunted up a
pard, set miners to work, bought ma

through which this canal has to be cut
is of three distinct kinds: Firstly, from
the Gulf of Corinth, through a plain,
consisting of sand and alluvial soil, for
distance of I klloms. secondly, through
mountain range, varying in height
from DO to 80 meters, of the length of
Al kiloms. thirdly, beyond the noun

sents no difficulties; but this is not the
case as regards the mountainous parts,
where an enormous mass of 5000, 900
meters of solid rock will have to be exca-

excavating the rock M. Gerster's plan
Is to sink vertical shafts in the noun

from two to three meters from each

ously. The cutting of the canal is to

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Three Suits Brought Against the Com
pany to Prevent the Issue of New
Second Mortgage Bonds.

New YORK, October 24.-Three suits
were brought against the Northern Pa
cifc Company to-day by Dunning, Ed
sail, Hart & Fowler, and Anderson &c
Rowland. The object of the suits is to
prevent the issue Of the new second
mortgages. The ground taken is that
the original act of incorporation prohib-
it's the company from making
any mortgage or issuing any con-
struction bonds without the con-
sent of congress. Congress gave it's
consent in 1870 that the company might
issue construction bonds and secure
them by mortgage. Under that consent
Jay Cookies mortgages were made, which
were subsequently foreclosed. The po-
sition taken by plaintiffs is that the au-
thority of congress once exercised was
exhausted and could not be repealed.
The order to show cause with stay
was granted in two suits and argu-
ments are to be heard November
1st. The officers of the company say
the suit brought by j. J. Bradley, who
says he is the holder of common stock,
is of no Importance. He asks that the
be enioined from issuing bonds
or making mortgages until congress
gives its consent. This consent was
given long ago, and Bradley has no
He had 200 shares OF common
stock transferred to him on Saturday to
bring suit.
