Two lightning rods agents, each

the highway in Indiana one day this
summer, and the first inquired:
"Where are you from, End what
sort of a rod are you putting up?"
From Chicago, and it's the copper
tip," was the answer.

revelation that every one of my buy

other. knew that Thompson would
not tell me an untruth in the matter,
and that the shares would be worth

around, and I was exceedingly angry
with him, for his stupid mis- axe,
which had caused me to sell the
shares Sc much to. low.
ct took up his letter again, and my
eyes fell upon the word ounces
WAich he had abbreviated into 'oz.,'
and I was thinking, half dreamily,
that he ought to nave written 'ozs.,

suddenly struck me that the letter z
might possibly be intended for an r,
in which C sse the passage would reaa:
Nine Or ten penny weights to the tom

pay for the working. The more I
looked at the OF the more like or it be-

to a neighbor, and covering the other
words with my hands [ asked him
what the doubtful one was. OR, as
plain as a pike staff he replied at

asked. Hardly he answered, unless
the context required the word ounce
you never saw four bluer looking
faces than those of the directors of the
Jupiter mine next day at 2 o'clock;
and the end of the affair was that
Thompson pocketed nearly $4,000,

"When I met my old school fellow
again he smiled softly, and said that
it certainly was dreadfully stupid of
him to have missed his letters, and
awfully careless to write 'or' 50 badly

The Test of Bravery.
4. 7 Sun.

Let child or woman fall overheard
and dozen men are ready to spring
after and save them. That is bravery,
but it is bravery born in impulse. Let
human face appear at the window of a
burning building and a dozen men
will risk their lives in the effort to
extend help. That is bravery, but it
is bravery born of pity and excitement.
Let man but hear the cry of woman
in peril. and he will rush to her res
cue and deliver her at any cost. That
is bravery, but it is the bravery of
honor and chivalry. Let man be sur
rounded by wolves and all escape cut
off and he will fight until pulled down.
That is bravery, but 1t is the bravery
of despair.
It is the battlefield which tests a
mans courage. A regiment is IN line
GA the edge of a wood. Between the
two is meadow bare Of the slightest
shelter. The regiment is ordered to
advance. As the line moves out into
the clear sunlight every man will
reason to himself:
''Ihe enemy is posted in the oppo>
site timber. Before we are half way

The dude stood anxiously awaiting

The dude stood anxiously awaiting
at the stage entrance the ballet girl,
who, yielding at last to his importu-
mites, had consented to grant him an
intervie ".
At last she appeared, and he was
about to step forward and greet her
when another youth who had been
waiting pushed him aside, and seizing
the ballet girl in his arms, he rained
a shower of kisses on her lips and
cheeks.
This action reused the dude to the
highest pitch OF exaspeartion, which
was no degree lessened when he heard
the fair one murmur:
"OA, my dearest John, is it you?"
''It is" exclaimed the stranger; sit
is, my dearest grandmother. I have
come ali the way from Texas to see
you?"
Then the dude pulled his hat over
his eyes and strobe away into the
gloom, although the lady shouted
after him that he need not be offended.

opened through the double line, but

grape ceases, and lead takes the place
OF iron. The lines are further dis
ordered and the left wing has lost its

does not stop. As it rolls forward
men grip their muskets tighter, their
eyes flash, their teeth shut hard, and
they reason:
''In a minute more we shall be near

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Five Men Instantly Killed and.Thir-
ty or Forty More or Less Injured

A dispatch from ST. Paul of Sunday
says: A terrible accident happened
on the Fergus Falls branch of the
Northern Pacigc Railroad, seven
miles west of here this morning, by
which five naen lost their lives, and
thirty or foty more we're more or less
injured. John Robinson's show left
Whapeton, D. T.. for this place in
two sections. When within seven
nailes Of Fergus Falls, near a small
place named French, the head or bag
gage section broke in two while going
up heavy grade, and ten or twelve
cars went flying back at 2 terrific rate.
On the rear of the train were
THREE SLEEPING CARS,
occupied by workmen over two hum
dred in number, all OF whom were
sound asleep, and not aware of the
danger. The cars which had broken
loose increased their spead as they APP
preached the second Or cage section,
and probably had run mile before
they struck it. The engineer of the
rear section saw the cars approaching,
bat only had time to stop his train be-
lUIS III SGfuCk uilu. Au0 UFdh0Hlau Oh
the loose cars tried to put on the brakes
but they had difficulty in running
from car to car on account of the wa
CONS which impeded their progress.
Had The engineer of the rear section
only moments time he could have
backed his train and avoided the call
amity. But
1T WAS TOO LATE,
and the cars struck his engine with
tremendous force, throwing the three
sleepers from the track and smashing
them beyond recognition.
The result was soon apparent. More
than a hundred men were buried in
the debris. The scene can hardly be
described. The night was fearfally
dark, and the groans Of the men were
appalling. The people in the rear sec
ton began the work of removing the
men, five of whom were found dead,
and many others wounded and bleed
ing. Word was at once dispatched to
this city, and train in charge of Su-
perintendent Vlning at once FASTENED
to the scene and the dead and wound
ed brought 10 this place. The work
of removing men from the debris was
a sorry task. A man alive and unin-
jured was taken from under two dead
ones, and it was simply a miracle that
he escaped.

Oil Paintings by the Yard
New York Mail and Express.


''Do you know how these pictures
are painteds" inquired an art connois-
seur of a reporter for the Mail and
Express, referring to pictures display
ed in an art auction house. You don't?
Well, will tell you the story of their
construction, as told to me by very
thoroughly reliable party. He said
he knew an artist in Chicago, who
was good painter, but who had ruin
ed himself by drink. Broken down
he took to painting pictures for auc
tioneers, and this is how he did it.
He would spread long strip of can
vas across the room and then mark it
off into sections according to the size
he wanted the pictures. He would
then mix about dozen pots of paint
of different colors as many as he re-
quired to use. Taking a brush with
one color he would paint a tree or
something in eaca section. Then he
would take another color and paint
water or houses on each picture, and
so on. until he had about twenty pics
lures all alike. Itwould take perhaps
a day to paint twenty, for which he
receives rs cents each, or SIS. That
was enough for him to go off on an
other drunk. Now you can under
stand how these fellows can sell gem
nine oil paintings so cheaply. Tie
frames only cost so cents ap eice, and
will very soon tarnish, so that if they
sell picture at almost any price they
make money.

The word "limited used in COR

The word ''limited," used in corr
nection with a corporation, indicates
that it is organized under special
law intended to limit the liability of
stockholders in the corporation to the
amount that each individual member
has paid or agreed to pay for his stock.
This law requires that the word
limited shall always be printed or
written Or painted in connection with
the name of the corporation, to warn
the public that they must look to the
corporation only, and not to the
stockholders, for the payment of cor
poration debts.

Judge Caswell Bennett.

IL is well known that he whose name
appears az the head uf this article IL
now an asrirant for "a position upon the
Appellate Bench. Juige Bennett il
too Wei known in this Judicial Dist rict
TO need even passing notice. He
presided as Judge of the Common
Pleas Court ere for thirteen years, and
he would to-day hold that position had
not the court been abolished 10y the
General Assembly. He was always
firm hut atiable and pleasant, wholly
free from any sort Of bias and always
courteous to the bar. by these charac-
teristics he soon won the esteem and
good will not only of the bar hut the
officers of the court all over the District.
No Judge has ever been more popular
Ia elevate himself at the expense of
other people. He never thought him-
self too great to learn something from
lawyers aud always avoided appear
ing wiser than counsel" His ability,
like his integrity, was beyond question.
He had a way of going right into the
center Of things, aud his clear and con
else way of expressing his judicial
opinion would give you clearer idea
of the law than you could learn in an
hours talk from most judges. As soon
ss case was stated To him he at once
caught the points. With that modesty
and difiidence which ever characterize
true ability he always listened patiently
To argument and when he began To
render his opinion the force of his logic
seemed irresistible. One thing which
added to his great popularity was his
kindness to Dung lawyers; and there
was not one who practiced under him
but who regarded him with admiration
and possibly with affection. Judge
Bennett il man of remarkable mental
power and legal learning, and IL felected
To the Appellate Bench he will give to
IL = strength and character which it
has not possessed since the days of
Hise and Robertson. IL should be re-
membered that Judge on the Court Of
Appeals Bench writes law To he read
for centuries to come; the Judge
should be selected because of his ability,
his learning, his stern integrity. Such
qualifications are all found in the per-
son of Judge Bennett Henderson

The Hartford herald., 1885-06-03

In last weeks issue of the New
York San there was an article from
Miss Elizabeth Cleveland, the Presi-
dents sister, containing a tart reply
10 the Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby
remarks on the total abstinence ques-
ton. The Doctor said that excellent
women who happened to have drunk
Ell husbands or sons, were afforded
no reason TO advocate complete alb
stinence for everybody. He had
heard a good woman, whose boy had
severely cut his finger with a knife,
wish there were no knives in the
world, that they were all destroyed.
With this for text, strong-minded
Miss Cleveland gives the reverend
Doctor a piece of her mind, and
pours out a stream of verbose sar-
casm, like the average woman, and
in a manner that does not fix her
intellectual and literary abilities at
or near the topmost notch. She
classes the intemperance evil and
hydrophobia in the same category !;
she thinks a little liquor is not a
whit better than a little mad-dog
virus and she cries for the suppress
sion and annihilation of mad-dogs
and whisky. The fiurried lady sup
ports her beliefs and notions with n
patent touch of rant, as if a crazy
eur or an inebriate, or both, had just
run her in the house. The naughty
preacher will crawl in, and the White
House Amazon might gird herself
ana strike for Kansas TO aid the
Alliance.
