"But suppose America had free

Free trade ~ he exclaimed.

"But wouldn't that break our steel

YES, for while"
"How long ?"

Governor Longs Peroration.

During the Garfield campaign Gov
ernor Long of Massachusetts, had one
pet section of his speech, which he had
wrought out with care and patience,
and which had been very happily
greeted, on the whole. He had en-
ployed it ON one or two occasions,
notably at Augusta, when Frye, Haw-
ley, Burrows, of Michigan, and others
we're present. Later he had an invi-
tation to go to Michigan to speak at
Kalamazoo, Mr.. Burrows's home. The
invitation was accepted and the speech
made, being very cordially and enthu-
siastically received. Mr.. Burrows was
absent, speaking in some other town.
When the meeting was over, one of
the audience stepped up to Governor
Long, and, after congratulating him on
his effort, said:
eff it isn't too impertinent, may l
ask if you ever used that peroration

his change, as there were others in

away from the window. The fare to
the place where he was going is $3.50 :
he had given the ticket seller SIS bill,
and had received $3.50 in change.
Looking at his watch he saw he had
just about time enough to fall into the
line and have the mistake rectified.

winters ago, and |, in company with Il
lady friend, strolled into an art gallery.
My friend carried her pocketbook in
her muff. L had warned her several
times of it's probable loss, but she had
only laughed at my warnings. In

friends sealskin muff left on the table,
and as the edge of the purse peeped
out quietly confiscated it-chuckling
in my sleeve at my friends anticipated

the gallery, and though [ thought it
strange my friend had not noticed her

she said. 'All right. Where's your

had been the property of the third la

pay for her purchase, and finding her
purse distracted from the muff, had
made some very bitter remarks, which
the proprietor rightfully felt reflected
on the character of his store and the
standing of his patrons. He had made
her loss more than good by requiring
no pay for the engravings sold her.

A Mine on Fire.

HAZELToN, Pa, Sept. Ga serious
mine fire is In progress five miles north of
this place at the baltimore c%olliery, oper-
ated BY the Pardee Bros, a portion of
the workings known as the counter schultz
On the inside OF the slope which was
abandoned oyer a year ago, was ignited
yesterday. 1t was impossible to get close
to the fire, and it was decided to day to
adopt a plan of drowning the mine. and
TO this end a stream of water was turned
into the workings. Should this be sue
cessful the fire will not spread to the other
adjoining workings of this section. which
are all connected and h~oneycombed the
entire district. 1t is impossible to get
within half a mile of the fire on the in
side slope, and water running from the
fire at that distance is at boiling point.
