DIDN' KNJW HE WAS PRESIDENT

When Charles CfOcker was at Portland
on his spike tour oyer the California and
Oregon, an incident occurred which is
Illustrative of the bewidering magnitude
of the railway interests of that gentleman
He received call at the Esmond house
from the general manager of the Oregonian
railway, a little narrow gauge formerly
under the control of a Scotch company.
Mr. Grocker regarded the visit as purely
complimentary, but when the narrow gauge
manager began to talk about the prospects
of his line, the need of repairs at certain
points, and gave the magnate the assurance
that IL was a fairly prosperous concern.
Mr.. Crocker's mind became cloudy. He
clearly did not know what the man was
driving at, Still the official went on until
he was interrupted by a friend who hap
pened to be present, and who said:
"Mr. Croker doesn't understand what
all this is about"
"oh, guess he does" said the general
manager with confident air 81 guess
he knows that he is president of this rail
road"
But Pm---if he did," said Mr..
Crocker, until You said so this mo-
ment."
The incident created a ripple of merrl-
ment among the railroad men who hap
pened to be present, and some of the Port
land magnates who heard the story thought
great deal less of their railroad interests
when they reflected on the fact that here
was man who was president ofa railroad
and didn't know it.

Single Copies S Cents.

With the unholy wish, an awful templa
ton assailed her
There, within little ebony cabinet
within easy reach, glittered crystal vial
holding powerful drug which her invalid
mother sometimes used to afford surceasC
from pain.
Should the unconscious sleeper inhale
those potent fumes, there would be nc
awakening IRON that quiet slumber. Ed
mund Variants ''love of long ago" would
no longer stand between his heart and
DANES dearest ambitions.
In that awful moment, Diane Medford
was mad with fercest jealousy and des-
peration of despairing pain.
She stretched hand toward the ebony
cdsket; the next second she was bending
over the sleeping girl; subtle odor filed
the room as the drug drpped from the un-
corked vial, and few smarting drops fell
upon Diane's shaking hands.
And then there was sudden binding
glare of light; she felt her flesh scorching
as if fiery blast had blown oyer her; she
heard the crackle of fire, and saw lurid ar
rows of flame shooting through her gar
ments.
Somehow, In that terrible moment, the
laring gas caught among the lace draperles
of Diane's gown, aud she was enveoped In
a mantle of consuming flames.
A wild shrek burst from her lips as she
clutched in agony at the mocking element
which hissed as il in derision at her vain
efforts to rid herself of its devouring EN-
brace.
The awful shrek awoke Esme, who
sprung to her feet in bewilderment; and In
the same instant Edmund Warham leaped
through The open window into the room.
A moment later, the two had succeeded
in extinguisbing the fire, and Diane,
scorched and blackened figure, was lying
only half conscioos, upon the sofa where
they had tenderly placed her.
Her injuries were serious; but she event.
ually became quite her old self again But
she never recalled that awful night without
shudder. Speedily punished as she had
been for her attempted wickedness, she
knew also that Edmund Warham had wit
messed the deed of madness, and that
though he had saved her from terrible
tate, he abhorred her.
She was not yet entirely recovered when
he was united in marriage to the beautiful
Esme-"his love of long ago."
ut was the simple little song which |
united us, my precious One," he says some
lines to his sweet little wife. "Only for |

To the furthest stretch of the yellow beach,
What vision comes to ME?
\ lover bold and a maiden fair,
Sitting beside the sea-
His arm is round her slender waist:
lie holds her small brown hand,
While one dear little, shapely foot
Makes figures in the sand

The happlcst in the land
and my lover, tried and true,
just twenty years ago,
Sat ON this self-same yellow beach
And watched the swift tide flow;
My brown hai now is mixed with gray;
My true loves white as snow.
Yet love to us is just as sweet
AS in the days Of yore,
When wedding bells the story told
Our little village oer.
All, yes as years roll on and on,
We love each other more.
And now, oh. young and loving twain,
Whose path seems strewn with flowers.
We send "a wish across the hills
Born of long, happy hours:
Ihat love NAV be to your true hearts
What it has been to ours.

TEACHING BEARS TO DANCE,

The gypses of Transylvania, according
TO writer in "Blackwood", teach young
bears to dance by placing the animal on a
sheet of heated iron, while the trainer
plays on his fiddle a strongly accenturated
piece of dance music. The bear, lifting
up its legs alternately TO escape the heat,
involunlarily observes the time marked by
the violin. Later on the heated iron Is
suppressed, when the animal has learned
its lesson; and whenever the gypsy begins
to play on the fiddle, the young bear lifts
its legs in regular time to the music.

THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

Figures Showing Decided Decline In
the Movement.
Minneapolis Journal: The New York
Independent has compiled some figures
on the vote of the prohibition party that
are interesting and instructive. The es-
Inmates of the Voice are taken on the
prohibition vote in ell states except in
New York and New jersey, the only
states 10 which the official vote ia YET
known. These figures cannot, therefore
be accused of untsirness. The total pro.
hibition party vote of the country esti-
mated by the prohibIt,onists themselves
at not more than 275,000. This is far
short of the 100000, or even the 500, 900
votes that some OF them anticipated, but
the third party leaders are anxious to
put the best facs on the situation possi-
BILE and speak OF the gain OF 125 900
votes over the number cast for st. John
as encouraging progress. A study OF
the figures for the last three years shows
clearly enough, however, that the pro
hibitionists actually sustained very
heavy losses at the last election as COM
pared with the highest vote in any pre-
vious year. The most notable instances
of decline are as follows:

We find the following remarkable de-
olaratien In the Canton Advocate OF q
recent date:
d. Kean, OF this city, superinten-
dent of construction of the new asylum
wings now being built OF Yankton, and
j. B. Pattee, the contractor, also OF this
city, have been charged by the coroner's
Jury with culpable negligence, and lay
the blame at their feet for the late
tumbllpg down OF the asylum walls.
Messrs. Qaigley and Woolley have lately
Withdrawn from the board OF trustees,
after doing ali in their power to injure
Contractor Pattee and Superintendent
Keap. All the blow and b uster OF the
Yankton papers relative to the great
damage done by the falling If about
30, 600 brick is mere sensational trash.
The walls we're repaired in four days.
and next week will see the new wings
ready for the roof.
II the Advocate was possessed OF g
fair regard for the proprieties of the
case it would mention in connection with
the falling Of these 20 900 brick that two
human beings were crushed to death in
the catastrophe. 1t is not the mere fall
ing of brick that excites comment from
Yankton papers, nor is it elbow
and bluster" upon their part
to demand some repsration
for the terrible sacrifice. Let the Advo.
cate go into Ysnkton homes now under
the shadow of the most profound human
grief over the untimely and unnecessary
deatnp of husbands and fathers and then
say IL it will that all this ia "mere sensa-
ticnsl trssh.' This is one OF the oocRs
sions where humanity should prevail
over pernonsl favoritism. The pitiful
result of inncmpetency should appeal tc
a better sentiment than that manifested
in the columns OF the Canton Advocate
II that paper cannot look upon thil
calamity in its proper light it should re,
main silent and not insult our mutilatet
dead with hippant comments abou
"blow and bluster" and "sensationa
trash" II it agrees with Gale and Keal
that the killing OF human beings is tht
mos! inoonsequential incident OF the dis
aster, it should reflect that the public il
general does coincide with such heart
lessness. The falling of 20 600 brick is Q
| no consequence to any one but the lndi
yidual who loses the cost of the brief
Useless slaughter of human beings is G
consequence to man and God. and b
laws human and divine punishmen
therefor is provided. Persistence i
the construction of weak walls whicl
may fall and slaughter other huma!
beings is also matter of consequence
To the Canton Advocate these matter
are referred for consideration.

The proposition for an extra session
OF congress for the purpose of fastening
statehood for Dakota is the leading
newspaper topic just at present. The
conclusion OF most writer's upon the
subject is that justice end expediency
demand the extraordinary resort of a
special congressional session. In
Washington, is is stated, the leading
men are unanimously in favor of q
special session. This probably means
the leading men on the republican side.
1t is stated In behalf Of the extra session
proposition that Dakota contributed
money and orators freely to the nation
al campaign and with the understand.
ing that in the event of republican sue
cess speedy action would be taken for
the creation OF two states from Dakota,
A bit of astonishing information from
Washington is the:
Chairman Springer. of the present
house committee on territories, who has
advocated making one state OF Dakota,
but who has refused to let the question
come up in any other shape, says he will
try to have the territory divided, and
the southern hall admitted TO statehood
this winter. This, be thinks, will cir
cumyent the division and immediate ad
mission OF both sections, % two states
There is politics in Mr.. Springer's IN.
tentions and sense too.
II Springer is really converted to the
division Idea it is because of the hare
knocks his party received at the late
election. 1t tls not probable, however
that Mr.. Springer will be able ito inven
any plan satisfactory to Dakota. Boil
Dakotas are entitled to statehood ant
this is the popular demand.
