THE PRINTERS DEVIL.

If there is a boy in the world who
has a harder time than another, he is
uhqueStionably the imp who does the
Satan work in a printing Office and is
known as the devil. His path in life
is very far from being strewn with
roses, or for that matter, either holly
hooks or sunflowers. It is usually
spread pretty thickly with iron side
sticks and hell boxes.
Look not upon the printers devil
when he is red within the face, when he
moveth himself Alright, for in the end
he stingeth like a hot horseshoe and
biteth like a patent medicine. He is
juss old fruit for the practical printers.
who are given to playing practical jokes
on him at all hours of the day or night
They send him to other printing offices
after itaGc spaces and nonpareil minion
when there are no such things known
to the craft. Once in while the order
is changed for strap oil, and then the
devil gets licking from the officials of
the rival shop, who give him all that
his sulphurous name implies.
He is invited to come and look at the
type-ice, and while he is bending over
some ''dead" or ''alive'' matter in cold
type, the inhuman exhibitor suddenly
brings the wet lye-soaked type together
with a snap, filling the devils eyes with
dirty water and fourth-proof I've. The
printers ink electrotypes, pig and horse
cuts, and take impressions Of the same
on the infantile features of the new
devil. His shirt looks like a piece of
tripe, which has dropped out of
slaughter house ambulance and been
fished out of the mud by some thrifty
scavenger. You would never know the
devil when you saw him again, as the
ink which envelopes his face is never
laid on in the same design two days
alike. When he has run errands, split
wood, pared potatoes, washed rollers
and forms and dishes and shoveled
coal and made garden and fed the pigs
and BACKED the stove and the foreman's
boots for four or five years he is promot-
ed to the case and given a chance to
set some type, and then he commences
to talk about big caps and, little
letters, and spells COW with a big K and
injects three KS a and an in the
word cabbage and the foreman belts
him over the head with q No. 10 boot,
and the devil goes home at night and
tells his mother while exhibiting his
numerous scars and body wounds that
he is sorry that he learned the trade

WHY A WOMAN CANNOT BECOME
A MASON.

Women sometimes complain that
they are not permitted to enter the lodge
and work with the craft in their labors
and learn all there IS to be learned in
this institution. l will explain the rea-
son. learn that, before the Almighty
had finished His work, He was in doubt
about creating Eve. The creation of
the living and creeping things had been
accomplished, and the Almighty had
made Adam, who was the first Mason,
and created for him the finest lodge in
the world, and called it Paradise No. 1.
He then called all the beasts of the field
and fowls of the air to pass before
Adam, for him to name them, which
was piece of work he had to do alone,
that no confusion might thereafter arise
from Eve, whom He knew would make
trouble if she was allowed to participate
in it, if He created her beforehand.
Adam, being fatigued with his first task,
fell asleep, and, when he awoke, found
Eve in the lodge with him. Adam being
Senior Warden, placed Eve as the pillar
of beauty in the South, and they received
their instructions from the Grand Mas
ter in the East, and, when finished, she
Immediately called the craft from labor
to refreshments. Instead of attending
to the duties of her Office as she ought,
she left her station, violated her obliga-
ton, and let in an expelled mason, who
had no business there, a1d went around
with him, leaving Adam to look after
the Jewels. This fellow had been ex-
PEELED from the Grand Lodge, with sew
eral others, some time before. Finding
that Eve was no longer trustworthy,
and that she had caused Adam to neg
lect his duty, and had let one in whom
he had expelled, the Grand Master
closed the lodge and turned them out,
setting a faithful Tyler TO guard the
door with flaming sword. Adam re-
pented of his folly, and went to work
ike good man and a good Mason in
order to get re-instated again. Not so
with Eve! She got angry about It, and
began raising Cain, and did it again
when she got Able. Adam, on account
of his reformation, was permitted to es-
tablish lodges and work IN the degrees,
and, while Eve was allowed to join him
in his works of charity on the outside,
she was never again permitted to assist
In the regular work of the craft. Hence
the reason why woman cannot become
an inside MaSon.-EG Perkins.

and but little west of the Mississippi.
Chicago, now the center of the greatest
railroad system in the world, had not
then over fifty miles.
In the light of events it seems a CEN
fury ago.
Since 1852, the Springfield has been
continuously represented in Chicago.
The panic of 1857, the war of 1861, the
great fire of 1871, and the panic of 1873
found and left it here. There are but
three companies now doing business in
Chicago, the Etna, of Hartford, Hart
ford, of Hartford, and Howard of New
York, which can show so long a period
of service in the city The old Protec-
ton, of Hartford, pioneer in the West
ern agency business, was here when the
Springfield came, but has long since
failed. The Security, of New York,
once so well known as an agency COM
pany, went down in the Chicago fire of
1871, with some sixty other companies.
The Manhattan, of New York, after
failing in 1870, started again, to fail
again in 1882. The famous Republic,
of Chicago, and its crowd of followers,
were to come up and be snuffed out in
1871. The Morris, International, Met
ropOlitan, Arctic, of New York, Home,
of New Haven, Andes, of Cincinnati,
Royal Canadian, of Montreal, Scottish
. Commercial, of Glasgow, Hamburg
Madenburg, of Germany, La Case
Generate, of France, will be recalled by
all old agents. To show the more
clearly how the companies have, during
the Springfeld's life in Chicago, ceased
doing business here, ''folding their tents
like the Arabs and silently stealing
away" the enclosed list has been pre-
pared. 1t is long list, and as many
of those contained therein were largely
agency companies, it suggests the ques-
ton: elbow long will it be before some
of those companies now doing an agen-
cy business are obliged to stop?" It will
be very suggestive to those who think
that ''one company is as good as an
other and a great deal BETTER" and it
places in the strongest light the reason
for the preference shown the Spring
field in amount and class of business by
its agents, who know that in represent
ing this company, which is American,
old, reliable, well-established, which
has stood for SO many years,
"Proof against all temptations as rock
Ofadamant, and a center, frm;''
they possess one whose stability is abso-
lutely assured, in whose past history
and continued success they may natu-
rally take share of honest pride, since
it is almost altogether the result of their
favor Yours truly,

THE RAILROADS.
President Harding and Boston Cap
itaIists on Their Way to ST. Joseph.
A. j. HARDING, Gen'l Agent.
From the St. Joseph Herald

From the St. Joseph Herald
''DEs MONIES, Iowa, April 25th. Mr..
B. L. Harding, president of the
Des Moines, Osceola & Southern
Railroad, left here this afternoon,
in company with several other Off
GERS of the company and num-
Der of capitalists from Boston, on an
overland tour of inspection of the pro-
posed road. They will arrive there in
the course of three or four days. They
are going over the route very carefully,
and will be able upon their return, to
decide upon the best location. The
people of your city may rest assured
that the road will be built to the Mis-
souri, river, and if ST. Joseph expects to
secure the terminus, she must be pre-
pared to present to the gentlemen the
best arguments available, for rival cit
les are at work and will do their utmost
to obtain this valuable connection. The
opinion prevails that up to the present
time st. Joseph is preferred, as it is the
natural and, doubtless, the most availa-
BILE point on the Missouri river to make
the connections desired, but this opin-
ion is not SO firmly fixed that it could
not be changed by lack of interest in
St. Joseph and the, manifestation of an
enterprising spirit on the part of rival
cities. The HERALD correspondent is
not aware that any assistance is to be
asked for; on the contrary it is believed
that the company desires no local aid,
but will expect the hearty cooperation
of the people along the line, and if this
is not accorded on the proper spirit
they will select another route"
B. L. Harding, above mentioned, is
President of the Phillips County Bank
at this place and also President of sew
eral banks in Iowa, as well as Presi-
dent of the Des Moines, 0sceola &
Southern Railroad and an energetic
Railroad builder, and our people need
not feel surprised if some time in the
near future he should render Phillips
burg valuable assistance In securing
railroad connection to our town.

Capitol Paintings Damaged.

Ono Of tho great paintings in the Capitol
which ls nineteen feet by fifteen in dimen-
slons, was very badly scorched during tho
Garfield fair and tho pigments seem to
have been on the point Of taking fire. A
close wall Of pine boards was erected inside
the rotunda in order to protect tho picture
from mutlation during the far. Near the
painting Of the Baptism Of Pocahontas was
large register, through which heat comes
up from the furnaces to warm tho vast
area. The board wall above alluded to
was set just outside OF the rcgister, 80 that
the heat was carried up by means of this
impromptu fue directly over the canvas,
instead of being diffused throughout tho
room. The consequence IS, that by this
steady application OF Intense heat the
painting has changed color and cracked in
q thousand places. 1t is valued at $10,-
900 and will have to be taken down and
retouched, which will be the work of
mon,hs. to repair the damage. Another
painting was acorched little, upon the
other side Of tho rotunda, and the canvas
Of still another, which represents the dis,
covery of the Mississippi by Do Soto, had
a hole punched through the sky by tho
carpenters IN taking down. the woodwork
which had been erected In front Of It.
