Now, there's nothing suspicious in
simply occupying front seat, un-
less it be at a female minstrel per-
formance, neither was there any
impropriety in Ellis inquiry of
George as to the distance to Moor
head. The fact was, Fred acted as

they took front seats-for tho rea-
son that the latter is>a hard Of hear

turer in quizzical sort of a way in

which remark George didn't over
hear, but Fred gave the Moorhead
citizen a sly dig in the ribs which
brought "What did you say?' cast

the gentleman knew more about the
lecture than he did he'd like to have
him prove up on his claim. This

that the statement that he is charg-

The Lawyer and the Doctor.
Boston Budget.

Daniel Webster used to tell a story
about William PIumer, a famous New
Hampshire lawyer, who practiced in
time when the judgements Of the courts
of that State were based rather upon that
system of local law to which the circum-
stances of the country have given birth
than upon the principles of the common
law of England. Mr.. Plumer was exam
ming a noted quack doctor who was IN
willing to testify, and from whom at last
no other reply could be obtained than
II don't know, SIR After Mr.. Plumer
had received this eyasive answer several
times, he asked of the witness: "Can you
say, doctor, on your oath, that as a ply
stefan you know anything" The witness,
discarding the pretended ignorance with
which he had responded, drew himself up
and said: Squire Plumer, know as much
about medicine as you did about divinity
when you were a Baptist preacher" The
court and bar smiled, and the audience
laughed but Mr.. Plumer very quietly
remarked: "When / found that
preaching was not my proper business
I had sense enough TO leave the pulpit If
you, doctor, had possessed as much sense.
you would have discontinued the practice
of medicine years ago, and saved me the
trouble of exposing your ignorance and
presumption in this case.'
The laugh now was at the doctors ex-
pense, and he was dismissed from the
stand crestfallen and discredited.

Three Little Maids"
RoatOn Herald

It is not generally understood that the
'sThree Little Maids from School" bust
ness in the ''Mikado" is a neat travesty
of very common English custom. Mr..
Gilbert having satarized nearly every
phase of British character, seized on this
domestic peculiarly of English sisters
always being seen together in couples or
trios, and though he did not dress them
alike, he made them do the same things
and echo each other just as they do in real
life Now the ''Mikado" has directed at
tention to these eternal threes, everybody
is saying the London girls are copying
Gilberts Idea; whereas, it is nothing of
the kind; they are simply going about IN
trios, as they have done from the imme-
mortal.
Soft gingerbread made by this recipe
is very good: One cup of butter and one
cup of sugar are to be stirred to a cream

and one cup of molasses. Add four cups
os sifted flour, one tablespoonful of

lemon. Mix thoroughly and add one
tablespoonful of soda, dissolved In little
hot water, and three eggs well beaten.
Bake in good oven. Raising and citron
may be added if desired.

If Mr.. Gladstone would explain how it
is that at his age he is able to accomplish
so much work and still find time for all
ordinary social duties and recreations he
would canfer a greater benefit on man
kind than can ever be derived from any
of his political projects. There is nothing
in the present English situation more re-
markable than the. superior physical and
mental vsgor of this great statesman W he
with the weight of 76 years on his shout
ders, seems easily equal to a strain which
few men of 40 could endure on any &C.
count.

Much the greater proportion (713 per
cent? of the strikes and lOckOuts reported
upon were caused by differences as to the
rates of wages. A total of SOB or about
Sc per cent of these relating to rates of
wages or 81 per cent of all, We're for an
advance and II or IA per cent of those re-
lating to rates Of wages or 81 per cent
of all were against a reduction. The
strikes growing out of demands for an
advance are much more uniformly sue
cessfull than those against a reduction.
In conditions of trade that iusti-
fly an advance it is much more
to the interest of the employer to give it
than to have his works stop. Of 813
strikes the results of 4S1, or 50 per cent,
are given. Of these 1859, or 35 per cent,
were successful, IS, Or Ii per cent, were
compromised, and PIT. or AZ per cent,
were unsuccessful. Of 20 strikes in
connection with the payment of wages, of
which the results are given, II, or 55 per
cent, were successful, were compromised
and were reported as unsuccessful.
On the other hand every strike in con-
nectiOn with the hours of labor of which
the result is given was unsuccessful. Re-
port concludes; as to wages lost it ap-
pears that 4,779 employees lost $371.1O9.
This would be at the rate of $57 each, as
the entire number of employees estimated
was 22S.138. The total loss of wages
would be $13,OO3,o66, which would have
been received had the works run con-
stantly. Of course there would be
number of offsets to this. In cases where
strikes were successful additional wages
would compensate for a portion of this
loss.
In other cases where unionism existed
in trades in which there were strikes, the
men received strike pay or strike benefits,
but the strike benefits were in the most
cases simply refunding money that had
been previous paid. Then in many cases
the parties on the strikes secured employ
ment in other industries, and hence their
actual loss would be what wages they
would have earned at their old labor,
minus what they did earn in presumably
less profitable employment.
