BRAVE GIRL TELEGRAGHERS.
On Duty at Night in Out-Ofthe-Way
Offices at Texas Stations.

Galveston News: Some days ago re-
porter had occasion to use a telegraph
line in sending n report to the paper.
1t was long after midnight, and the
nearest Western Union wire was "a good
mile and half from the town in which
he was located. The telegraph Office
was found to be in a railroad block sta
ton, situated in one of the lOnliest and
bleakest parts of the country through
which the road passed. No dwelling
houses were within calling distance,
and the entire surroundings were of the
most uninviting and forbidding kind.
The Office itself was but Il small frame
building, utterly devoid of any means
of defence from intruders, and the
country round about was infested with
tramps.
The reporter knocked at the door,
and, receiving no answer, knocked
again, with the same result. Finally,
after third summons, window was
opened, and feminine voice timidly
inquired, "Who's there?"
The surprise of the newspaper man
can be better imagined than described.
The idea of Il woman being in charge
of an Office in such dismal place
seemed almost proposterous. He, how
ever, explained his mission, and after a
little delay was apmitted by a delicate
girls, who appeared to be hardly older
than eighteen.
The little room was as neat and clean
as new pin. 0The floor was as
white us a scrubbing brush could
make it. On the walls were tastefully
pinned number of pretty advertis-
ing cards. a glass on table near by
contained a bunch of flowers, and a
comfortable, homelille air pervaded the
l, Il Il
the average country railroad station,
with its foul odors of bad tobacco and
oil. When the last word of the message
was out the reporter questioned the
young lady upon her work.
Yes she said, this company has
lady operators at night in all their Of
fees as far east as the mountains. My
Office is not as lonely as some of the
places up IN the mountains, where the
girls do not have an opportunity to talk
to anybody from the time they leave
the train at o'clock in the evening
until they return the next morning. 1t
is an awful place even here sometimes.
Not a train will pass for hours at time
in the morning, and we must walk the
floor to keep awake. AT first / thought
| would never be able to stand it, but it
is growing easier now. At the begin
ming | was afraid of every sound. We
form odd friends at such times. The
best have are the mice, who come out
of their holes and eat the crumbs |
leave on the floor for them. They are
good company when there is nothing
better.
IL should think that the company
would give the lady operators day Of
fees" we said.
well, it does not. They give the
easy positions to the men. The only
reason can give for that, since you ask
for it, is that young ladies are more
careful and do not go to sleep like the
lazy men do, and pile up wreck in
front OF the Office"
Are you not afraid Of tramps?"
Good gracious! yes. They are the

While the clerk was getting them on
she said:

a Coon In the Pulpit.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat A gentle
man of Sparta, Ca, has pet coon.
Last Sunday evening he made his ap-
pearance in the Presbyterian church
during the discourse of the Rev. Mr..
Dixon. He remained quiet for some
time. then went into the pulpit, climed
upon one of the tall-backed chairs,
twisted himself around about the top,
viewed the congregation from several
different positions, then mounted upon
the stand, drank water from the pitcher,
thrust one foot, then another into 1T,
laved his physiognomy, and then am
bled back to one of the pulpit windows
and planted himself, with a satisfied
look ON his countenance, apparently for
the rest OF the sermon. But the minis
ter did not seem to put much confidence
in the moral qualities of his visitor, so
he requested that the animal be re-
moved before services were further pro-
ceeded with. w. A. Burwell came to
his relief and drove his coonship from
the window and premises.

The Hit PigAIways Squeals.

The honest Temperance masses
in the party are becoming very
FESTIVE under this strange state Of
affairs. They have long been used
to reading in their papers and re-
peating the claim to their neigh
bors, that "We are the true Tenn
perance party" and they are in-
curing how this is. Why don't our
papers come out squarely for the
Amendment? Here are ministers,
Good Templars, and others who
have been prominent as Temper
ance men, all editors of party pa.
pers, and as dumb as oysters on the
subject of the Amendment, We
want to know how this is. The
voters of our community are nearly
all in favor of prohibition-why
don't our papers speak out? What
power is thus sitting the voice of
our leaders Nv. VA, FREEMAN.
If the FREEMAN means the editor
OF the Herald as one OF the Good
Templar editors who are Gas dumb
as oysters on the subject of the
Amendment" it is false. Our posi-.
ton has always been clearly de-
fined. We have occupied no middle
ground. We have always advocated
the Amendment and the Demo
cratic party. Mountain Herald.
The hit pig always squeals. If
the Herald finds itself in the pen
into which the FREEMAN was di.
recting it's criticisms, we can't help
it. We meant the remarks for
whom they might concern. We
have looked through every column
of the Herald from which we clip
the foregoing, and looked in vain
for single paragraph in advocacy
of the Amendment, If the Herald
hadn't squealed the public wouldn't
have known it was hit.

Tucker County Saloons.

The Pioneer reads the Tucker
county Commissioners wholesome
lecture, scoring them most right
eously for their perfdy in granting
license over the protests of the peo-
pie. Among other solid facts it
states the following, that ought to
be considered in every county:
Granting license will not help
to develop the county's resources.
1t will not boom the county. 1t
will not make church goers. 1t will
aot make business men locate in
our county, and in short we cannot
see where we derive any benefit
from this source"
There's no possible good in the
accursed thing. The saloon must go.

CHARLESTON POLICE COURT CoNvIC-
TIONS.

These are convictions under all
charges, and will give some idea
of the amount of general lawless-
ness and disorder under the differ
ent systems OF dealing with the
liquor traffic. It will be remem.
bered that under low.license there
were thirty or more licensed saloons
in the city, while last year under
high-license, there were perhaps
not quite twenty. Under no-license
two wholesale saloons were granted
license for about the last three
months. It will also be rememb er-
ed that in the winter and spring
of the low-license year drinking
was much reduced under the meet
ings of the salvation army and Bro.
Bettes, and that the long and sue
cessful reyivals last winter, would
tend largely to keep down disorder
under our high-license; while dur
ing the no-license year We had no
special revival, but an exciting
election and the legislature instead.

Emperor Friedrich Dead.

On Friday last, June Is, Emper-
or Frederick III ended his brief
reign and now sleeps with his hon
ored father William who passed
over the river but three months
ago. And now William II is EN-
peror of Germany and has assumed
the reins of government. Thus
have the reins of the greatest mil
itary power on earth been held by
father, son and grandson, passing
to the third generation, all in the
short space of three months.
AS all Germany mourned for
William, so they mourn for Fred
erick and especially do they mourn
for the wise and prudent Frederick,
because of their forebodings as to
what the rash and reckless Will
liam II may do.

The Importance OF the action of
the recent Prohibition Conven-
ton, 30 far as it concerns the COM
ing campaign, is much greater than
is generally supposed. 1t was the
largest and most enthusiastic gath
ering that party has yet held. Their
candidates are representative men,
and will doubtless receive a larger
vote than the Prohibitionists have
ever been able to muster before. 1t
would not surprise us to find this
young and vigorous party, four
years hence, fronting the Demo-
cratic party as it's chief opponent.

what's coming, we are surprisd that
it doesn't advise the Democra JIG
party to repent and be converted
before it is eternally too late.

Anonymous Idiocy.

1t is shrewd policy the liquor
men have of circulating their anti
prohibition idiocy, either anony.
mously or under assumed names.
There was very silly specimen
on this line in a late issue of the
Parkersburg Sentinel. Under the
false heading, "A:Prohibitionist
Speaks" appeared a very weak
solution of nonsense, the only ten
dency of which was to show the
necessity of saloons to tempt and
curse men that they may learn to
grow strong. We quote speci-
men of the vicious argument: "It
is evidently the purpose for man
to make man Of himself by seeing
the evil results of incompetence
and to become master of his appe-
tite." And this right in the face Of
the laundering, "Woe to him that
gaveth has aseighbor drink"
Again, this nameless saloon
champion says: 'Do not interfere
with Gods law. Make men better
by example and persuasion, not by
force" Gods law is full of thun.
dering Prohibitions. And while no.
body proposes to make men better
by force, all government, divine
and human, ordains the policy Of
making men behave themselves by
force, so that society may be pro-
tected and secure in it's rights, that
it may have chance to become
better.
The Saloon is pirate in the
community, preying on the rights,
property and peace of society.
THE SALOON MUST 60.
