Correct You Arc, Charlie $.

The EMMoNs COUNTY RECORD, one of
the brightest of local papers, is edited by
lady-a busy wife and mother.
The above, from the St. Paul Globe,
contains few slight inaccuracies. First,
the lady who edits the RECORD is not a
mother at all and, second, the RECORD
is not edited by lady, but by great big
male fellow, who has nothing feminine in
his makeup, except love for the beau
tiful, the utmost reverence for truth, and
a thorough knowledge of the details of
housekeeping. He is, however, ably as
sisted in the business of the RECORD by
his 'better half, who possesses rare busi-
ness qualifications, and to whose efforts
are due much of the success which has
attended the REcoRD.--[Washburn Times.

Cheap Fuel.

Many of our farmers, when hauling
grain to Bismarck, return with load of
Ignite coal, which can now be purchased
there at $3.50 per ton. They claim that
1t is cheaper than cutting and hauling
wood from the coulces, and then again
chopping it into suitable lengths for stove
use. Yet it seems like carrying Goals to
Newcastle" as the fuel must be trans
ported thirty five miles, and at the same
time there are incXhaustible beds of lig-
mite awaiting development in all parts of
Emmons county.

placed in the presidents hands certi
fed copies from the Franklin county
court records of executions against

lected as lawyer, and not paid over.
The record in the latter of these cases
closes as follows: at was adjudged by
the court that the cause of action on
which said judgment was founded,
arose from the wicked and malicious
act of the defendant (McGettricl<) and
that the court from a consideration of
the facts consider that the defendant
ought to be confined in close jail"
President Cleveland will not be likely
to appoint any man with such n record
to handle public money nor will his
respect be increased for the Vermont
politicians who undertake to lead his
administration into the disgrace of
such an appointment. Giving McGet-
trick the full benefit of the claim his
friends make for him, that these diff
culties were due to lOOseness and care
lessness as business man, rather than
any intentional dishonesty, the fact
still remains that he is not fit for the
position of postmaster, where business
capacity and accuracy above all things
else are required, and that his appoint
ment would be utterly inexcusable.

VANDERBILT OUT-WITTED.

j. Il. Lloyd, the famous war map
man, had for many years previous to
Commodore Vanderbilt's death been
issuing LlOyd's Railroad Guide, and
had been in the habit of receiving
yearly passes from all the railroads !;
but when William HI. Vanderbilt got
control, one day Lloyd wished to send
his general manager of canvassing
agents to Chicago, and not having re-
ceived a pass from the New York Cen
trail railroad, wrote a note to William
H. Vanderbilt for such a pass and re-
turn. CATER waiting two hours" says
the general manager, who tells the
story, 81 saw the great millionaire in
the Forty -secOnd street depot office.
After reading the note he said:
'How's old Lloyd? Tell him for me
Vanderbilt owns this line now, and
Vanderbilt don't give passes. Good
day, sonny And l was backed out of
his private office. When L reported
the matter to Lloyd he was wild with
rage, and swOre he would get even
with Bill Vanderbilt.
"Lloyd had at that time nearly rea-
dy for press cheap new railroad, tel

big sheet-map was a blank space in
the Atlantic ocean, 3x2 feet wide. The
map was not quite finished when Van
derbilt sent this refusal to Lloyd.
Lloyd went to his draughtsmen's room
and ordered his best artist to make Il
terrible picture of a train of cars on
fire and in collision, piled mp like an
eruption of Vesuvius, with heads and
limbs flying every way.
The artist made the picture and cut
it up into sections, and gave it to eight
engravers, who finished engraving it
for printing by dusk. When it was
joined together as one big view, this
was placed at the top of the space in
the ocean, and over the cut was placed
letters three inches large, Stand from

and mailed one to William III. Wander

one to the general ticket agent and one
to each of the sons of William H. Van

The Clean Newspaper.

There is a growing feeling in healthy
communities against journals which
make it their special object to minister
to n perverted taste by seeking out and
serving up in a seductive form dis
gushing and licentiOus revelations.
There is good reason to believe that
the clean newspaper is more highly
priced to-day than it was four or five
years ago. 1t is also safe to predict
that, as people in all ranks of life who
prof ct their own, at least, from con-
taminatiOn, become more conscious of
the perniciOus influence of q certain
class of journals, called enterprising
because they are ambitious to serve
up dirty scandals, they will be careful
to see that the journals they permit to
be read in the family circle are the
class that never forget the prOprieties
of life. Already men and women of
refinement and healthy morals have
had their attention called to the per-
niciOus influence of bad literature, and
have made cOmmendable efforts to
counterfeit the same by causing sound
literature to be published and sold at
popular prices. These efforts are
working a silent but sure revolution.
The best authors are more generally
read to-day than at any previous date.
The sickly, sentimental story paper,
and the wild ranger and pirate story
books are slowly but surely yielding
the field to worthier claimants. TO
the praise of the decent newspaper, it
may be said that where it has place
in the family, and has been read for
years by yonng as well as old, it has
developed such healthy tone and
such a discriminating taste that the
life-nature of the slums has no admir-
ers. Fortunately, the number of such
families is increasing in the land, and
as they increase the journal that de-
votes itself to sickening revelations of
immortality will be compelled to find
its supporters solely among those
classes who practice vice and crime,
or are ambitious to learn to follow
such Ways.-lPrinter's Circular,
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1885-12-24
A PRIMA DONNA'S SUPPER.
