To-day you can write in the date
line of your letter, three figures of III
same kind. three S's; for instance
1883. 1t has been III years since
anyone has been able truthfully to
write three same figures together,
namely. 1777. Then there was a big
amount of trouble in what United
States then existed, or rather, what of
this nation was struggling for exist
ence. At that time King Georges
soldiers were making it very warm
for the patriots of this land, who were
trying to make new nation. Had
those patriots not succeeded every last
one of them would have been a rebel,
most of them would have been hung.
and not one of them could have ever
held office under the government.
This reminds US that revolutions &C.
complished makes patriots, and that
failures make rebels; or. in other
words, nothing is successful but sue
cess. We don't believe there is man
now living who put 1777 at the head
of his letters And in III years a man
can again use three same figures in his
date line-i909. Not a human living
now will be here to do that next three
figuring, unless medical and sanitary
science achieves great wonders. -

THE RAILROAD DEBT.
Poor Men Who Cannot Pay Their
Debts.

The San Francisco Post is Repub-
lican paper which adheres to princi'
pie and TO whatever is of good repute
In the history and acts of the party.
In thus pursuing its independent and
honorable course it has frequent occa-
sion tn excoriate the base men and the
political iniquities which are being
sheltered under the Republican name
and are maintaining themselves by
the corrupted votes of the scum OF
both parties. Consistently with its
honest attitude il has taken occasion
in late issue 10 criiicise the concu-
sions arrived at by the majority of
the Pacific Railroad Commission in
which the Republican Litter and the
Democratic Anderson recommend the
practical release of the Central Pacific
from the payment of the millions due
IN the Government. 1t closes its
pungent article as follows:
"It is no, pleasing fact that the
Commissioners should unanimously
determine that there is 90 chance of n
voluntary payment of the Central
Parific debt to the Government. The
principal Of that debt Is $95.Ss5. 100.
According To this treasury statement
of Dec@m ber 1st. the accrued interest

citic managers then owe 49,S17 007
To the government.
The public nre curious To kn Nv why
tlaev de- not pay this debt. The men
who nwn the Central Pacific are fam
ons over the world for their wealth.
The fortunes Of the managers aggr
gate $500. .00O. 900, nearly all of wlicn
.ame primarily out of the Central
Pacific road With the money made
ont of it they have built and bought
and stocked over 5000 miles of rail-
road, with through line from Port
land on tie north to New Orleans on
the south. With their immense pri-
yate fortunes and this great property,
the public would like tn know why
they cannot be compelled to pay their
debts. Messrs. Stanford. Crocker,
Huntington or the Hopkins estate
could anv one Of them pay the whole
amount of the debt at once and have
millions left. II the road is so poor
that Ii 10 really unable tn pay, the
public would like TO know why Sena-
tor Stanford paid Clara Belle McDon-
aid $3.50 share for the stock and
considered il cheap at that price
It may be that the road is not worth
the amount of the debt, aud it is not
considered the correct thing for sol.
vent debtor to refuse to pay merely
because the security has deprecated
in value below the amount of the
debit

One bright summer morning Is was
strolling toward the beach on the island
Of Mackinaw l saw, . short distance
ahead Of me, two little pigs, one per-
fectly white and the other perfectly
black, both the same size, trudging
along side by side in the same direction
as myself.
They seemed so out of place and
was so curious to know whittier they
were bound that / followed them unob-
served. They did not walk aimlessly,
but as if they had some special object in
view and some definite destination.
/ wondered what they would do when
they reached the water. I was not long
in being answered. Without o mo-
ment's hesitation they plunged into the
waves side by side and swan out and
away toward another island, six miles
distane. I stood and watched them
until two little heads looked like balls
bobbing up and down, side by side all
the time.
When I related the incident to the
landlord little later he looked aston
ished and annoyed.
.Those pigs" he said, were to have
been served for dinner to-day. They
were brought here this morning in Z
boat from that island, six miles away,
and we thought we might allow them
their freedom, never thinking Of their
making an attempt to 60 home.
And did you notice., he continued,
athey choose the point Of land nearest
the island where they came from to en-
ter the water? Singular that the little
animals should have been 30 bright
And, furthermore, they weren't landed
there; that makes II more strange.
I, too, left the island that day, and
have never heard whether those bravo
littls pigs ever reached their destination
or not. Hnypsrs Yostssg FeopA

Fifty years ago the United States was
the home Of large number Of peculiar
wild animals. Unless . national pre-
serve comes to the rescue very soon,
another decade will see them nearly all
extinct. The grizzlies are disappearing
from the Rockies. Live buffalo are
now worth from $500 to $1,000 apiece,
that three years ego cost scarcely one
fifth that amount. and they are found
almost nowhere but in 3 corner OF Texas
and in the Yellowstone park. The
caribou has been hunted almost out Of
existence. The mountain sheep, the
mobose, the eaver, the antelope, are ell
disappearing.

How to Cook Husbands.

Miss COrsOn said in the Baltimore
cooking school that Baltimore lady
had written receipt for cooking hus-
bands, so as to make them tender and
good" 1t is as follows:
Make clear, steady fire out Of love,
neatness, and cheerfulness Set him as
near this as seems to agree with him.
II he sputters and fizzes do not be arix-
ious; some husbands do this until they
are quite done. Add little sugar in
the form Of what the oonfectioners call
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any
account. Do not stick any sharp in
strument into him to see if he is becom-
ing tender. Stir him gently; watch the
while, lest he lie too fiat and close to
the kettle and become useless. You
cannot fail to know when he is done.
II thus treated, you will find him diges-
tihle, agreeing nicely with you and the
children, and he will keep as long ~
you want, unless you become careless
and vat him in too cold place"

About year ago I was taken with q
severe pain in both lungs. was first at
tackled with violent chill, then dread
full pain, and then cough, accompanied
BY considerable fever. It looked very
much like bad attack Of pneumonis. A
friend Of mine procured five ALLcoCK's

one under each shoulder blade, and one
on my chest close around my throat. In
few hours the cough ceased. the pain
gradually abated, and broke out in .
profuse perspiration. fell into pro-
found sleep, and the next day was almost
we'll. wore the Plasters eight days
afterward, and have never had any trouble
