trip | saw most novel expedient en-
ployed by tramp. Early one morn
ing, when we were pretty well up in
the mountains, | got up and dressed
and took chair out ON the platform

the train stopped at a water tank and

walked up ahead | was surprised to
hear a snore. Can it be possible
thought, that there is anybody who
can snore loud enough to be heard
through the double floor of sleeping
car? The snoring seemed to come
from under the coach, and so | re-
solved on closer look. Bending
down | glanced under the body of the
car and saw there scene which
struck me as being about the oldest
l had ever witnessed. In a hammock,
which he had evidently stolen from
some door yard in California, lay a
tramp sleeping soundly and snoring
noislly. The hammock was swung
under the car close to the floor and
one leg of its occupant hung out and
trailed rather close to the ground.
In that queer bed his trampship had
been riding all night without ticket
or berth check and with no fear of
being compelled to join in 50 all
round for the benefit of the porter at
the end of his journey. He rode
some fifty miles further before he
was discovered and bounced, and

HINTS TO YOUNG MEN WHO WANT TO

eyes on him. 80 @$~@%
Don't swear to the girl that you

for you to say that you never heard
Yourself snore in your sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff ON pa
per. If you do, you will hear it read
in after years, when your wife has
some especial purpose in inficting
upon you the severest punishment
known to married man.

If you sit down on some molasses

Don't be too soft. Don't say:
'"These little hands shall never do a
stroke of work when they are mine"
and ''You shall have nothing to do
in our home but to sit all day and

A negro school teacher in Virgin
ia, after some years experience in ed
ucating his race, declares that negro
children take readily to learning
within certain limits, but they do
not take readily to education. They
all want to learn to read and write,
but, having done so, they read moth
ing and write nothing, Their school
training does not affect their charac-
tor or stir their ambition, or inspire
them with any desire for culture.
There are exceptions, of course, and
it is the opinion of the teacher that
it is the exceptions that should
henceforth receive attention. He
thinks that for some generations to
come the great majority OF his race
will continue in much their present
condition, because living in the South
is easy to people who are content to
live as the negroes do, and content
ment, in his opinion, is the leading
vice Of the race,

Since slavery has been abolished
IN the United States it seems like a
satire that it should exist in the
West Indies, only a few hours sail
from our shores. However, Spain,
which owns and exercises control
over these islands, inaugurated eman-
cipation a number Of years ago. The
system has been in operation even
since, and shows the following re.
suits: The number of the slaves de.
clared free. in accordance with the
abolition law, between May 9Th, 1885
and May 7th, 1886, was 25,523. The
number who had obtained their free
dom in the six years elapsed sine,
the PRONUNCIATION of the law is 100,
253. The number yet awaiting theil
freedom is about $4,000.

Robbie Hurd, aged 8, fell into the
Schulykil at Philadelphia on Sunday,
and was drowning in the presence Of
screaming women and helpless men
who couldn't swim, when Mr.. Luke
Dillon, driving by, learned the con-
dition of affairs, plunged in dressed
as he was in his Sunday clothes, and,
after remaining under water long
enough to alarm the spectators, EN-
ergea with the boy, who hs1 gone
down for the third time, and whom
he found lying in the mud at the bot
tom Of the river. Proper treatment
restored the boy to consciousness and
health. This is the third life that
Mr., Dillon has saved.

H0rsewlaspped by "a Young
LADY.

In front of the residence Of
ex-Councilman San. Garvin, 1915
Chestnut street, in st. Louis, on
Monday evening, was presented the
somewhat unusual and rather start
ling spectacle Of young man being
horsewhipped by an enraged young
lady. The arms Of the youth upon
whom the punishment was being in
tlicted we're held tightly behind him
by q somewhat smaller but extreme
" muscular boy. The young lady
was Miss Ella Garvin, the young
man was Harry NJ. Snyder, a buyer
for the +. VI. Rumsey Manufactur-
ing Company, and the boy who was
interfering with the efforts Of Mr.
Snyder to escape from the blows of
the horsewhip which were falling
taicl1ly and heavily upon his face,
head and shoulders, was Arthur
Garyin, the l2-year-old brother Of
the young lady. After a short
struggle Snyder broke away and
started to run, but was met just as
he was stepping on to the sidewalk
by a friend Of the young lady, and
he was again caught and held and
suffered q still more severe punish
ment from the whip in the hands oil
the young lady. Miss Garvin gives
the following concise statement OF
the affairs: Snyder insulted me, SO
| walked into the house and just
happened to see that new buggy
whip, and | picked it up and went
to the front door and told him to
apologize. He said he wouldn't and
| whipped him | think / gave him
a pretty good horsewhipping, and |
am glad of it, except that | broke
the whip"

Once upon o time q big State
named Virginia owed $45,000,0 900.
About one-third of this State fiocked
by itself, called itself West Virginia
and adopted a Constitution prohibit
ing itself from ever incuring any obi
cation in the nature of debt. Then
the State that still called itself Vir-
ginia insisted on charging $4,000,
900 of the $45,000,000 to West Vir-
ginia and recognized $30,000,0o0 as
it's own debt.
Some years later Virginia conclu
ded to throw off another third of its
debt, but there wasno other State be-
ing formed just then from one-third Of
its Territory, SO it could not do the
thing In the same way as before.
1t did it all the same, however. All
it had to do was to pass bill, intro
duced by one Riddleberger, now
United States Senator, sealing $50,
100000 of debt to $20,000,000.
Now, however somebody in the
Virginia Legislature has introduced
bill, said to be prepared by the Lien
tenant Governor, kindly telling tie
creditors why they are obliged to ac-
cept the Riddleberger settlement and
at the same time telling West Vir-
ginia that it is very wicked in chat
State not to recognize the $4,000,
600 of debt thrown off by old Vir-
ginia when West Virginia became a
State. But as West Virginia's SIS,
100000 aud Virginia's $50, 100000
were part of an original whole of $45,
100000, it will occur to most people
who do not live in Virginia that that
State should recognize its whole $50,
100000 as if it insists on West Vir,
ginia's recognition Of the other SIS
100000.
The Old Dominion is in imminent
danger of becoming inconsistent,
What is sauce for the West Virginia
goose is sance for the Virginia gander.
