'Ehe American Palace Car

Engineer Capper in Fall Mall Budget.
When you sleep in a palace car you are liable
to be jerked up on end by the sudden slowing
up of the train the vacuum brake being con-
stantly in use, and the cars are frequently
brought up almost as rapidly as if there had
been a collision. After a sleepless night, in
which you have been alternately bumped and
jerked on both ends and both sides, you get I'D
in the morning to discover that you have
afforded pasturage ground for variety of in
sects which are often not mosquitoes. If you
complain to the conductor you are informed
that your grievance, whatever it may be, is none
Of his business, and if you persist in your rep
reservations YOU are warned that if you do not
mind what you are about your traps will be de-
posted at the next station and you can wait
until the next train. 1t is land of liberty.

continental habit of penning travellers up in
waiting rooms until the train is almost ready to
start. when the doors are thrown open and
general stampede takes place for the cars.

The Mothers Cut.

from the fHlinGelHnla freSS.
You can always tell boy whose mother cuts
his hair by the way he stops in the street and
wriggles his shoulders When fond mother
has to cut her boys hair she draws the front
hair over his eyes and leaves it there while she
cuts that which is at the back. The hair which
lies over his eyes appears to be surcharged with
electric needles, and that which is silently drop
ping down under his collar band appears to be
on fire. she has unconsciousy pushed his head
forward until his nose presses his breast In
the meantime he is seized with an irresistible
desire to blow his nose, but he recollects that
his handkerchief is in the other room Then a
fly lights on his nose, and does it SO unexpect-
edly that he invOluntarily lodges and catches
the point OF the shears in his LETT ear. At this
he commences to Cry and wish he was a man.
But his mother doesn't notice him. When she
is through she holds his jacket collar back from
his neck, and. with her mouth, blows the short
bits of hair from the top Of his head down his
back. He calls her attention to the fact. but
she looks for new place in his head and hits
him there. and asks him why he didn't use his
handkerchief. Then he goes out and wripeles
to get the hair out of his neck, and wonders
what the other boys will say to him.

Faith in Prayer.

Gov. Ziebaeh, whose appointment as the
successor of Gov. Pierce is looked for every
day, is a religious man and profound be-
lever in prayer. In the last issue of his
paper, the Scotland Citizen, he relates and
youches for it as a fact, that at the neigh
boring town of Tyndall the banking house
of Albright Smith 4 Co. last week, hay
ing lost the combination to their burglar
proof safe, spent long time in fruitless eff
forts to open it. As a last expedient resort
to prayer was had, and Mrs. Smith, the
pious wife of one of the firm, led in the
devotions. Only two of the members of
the firm had followed when the safe opened.
1t is suggested to the governor that his pro-
tracted efforts to secure the executive posi-
ton be supplemented in a similar way. He
has an abundance of stuanch friends who
are experts in this line and will cheerfully
unite with him in petitions that any obdu-
racy at Washington may be wisely tenn
pered and the need of a new governor fully
realized

An Apparent Wrong.

There is trouble in Hanson county over
recent decision of some of the land officials.
1t seems that when the county was settled
many of the quarter sections had consider
able excess that had to be paid for before
filing was allowed. OF course this excess
has been improved like the rest of the land
and valuable buildings are often found on
it. Now the settlers are notified that it was
all mistake, allowing them TO pay for the
excess, and that it could only be secured by
entry as in case of the rest of the land and
they are told to come and get the money
back, and the land goes to the government.
The hardship of this is shown in the in
stance of Joseph Swift. He has about one
hundred acres of this excess, all in cultiva-
ton and all his buildings on it. He was
compelled to buy it and it would be sheer
robbery to force him to give it up now. But
the settlers are refusing to take the money
back and will organize and resist the exesu-
ton of the order. Gov. Pierce will prob
ably send the attorney general to inquire
into the facts.
