A Night Ride in Kansas.

young man who lives in Garden City has
a claim in this county and pays weekly visits
to it. On one of these visits he was awak-
ened by commotion around the house The
building began to move slowly, and, suspect
ing what was up, he lay still until the peep O.
day, when the movers had proceeded several
miles with him and his house. Unlocking the
door, he stepped out and babe the marauders
good morning. OF course the situation was
an embarrassing one to the house stealers.
They offered him 500 in cash and to replace
the house on its foundation if the owner
would agree to make no arrests. This offer
was accepted, and the claim holder went back
to town with his 500 cash, thinking it was a
pretty profitable night after all-Scott City

TeIegraphing on the Pacific Railroad.

On the San joaquin trail the daring engi-
neers who had climbed crag and precipice to
stretch their wires were outwitted by the
long horned Spanish cattle that Craze in the
valley. No timber graced the country and
flies were Troublesome. The cattle were tor
mented by these winged pests and to get rid
of them crowded to the telegraph line. They
would rub against the poles and paw the earth
away from the base Heavy poles would be
worn out in a few MONTHS causing frequent
interruption.
The line could not be fenced in, and it did
not pay to hire vaQueros to drive away the
stock One of those brilliant ideas that
change the fate of a nation suggested cur

Perhaps nowhere in any gas belt is there so
great popularity as exists in the flow Of gas
at Montpelier, Ind. Six hours out of twenty
four the gas runs down to a minimum, and
six hours out of the day the gas reaches max

valves are turned wide open TO get a sutli-

TIE LITTLE HIGH CHAIR.
A Scene That Brought Tears to the Old
Auctioneer's Eyes.

A Scene That Brought Tears to the Old
Auctioneer's Eyes.
There was an auction ct one of the down
town auction houses recently A pale, sad
faced woman, in plain calico gown, stood in
a crowd. The loud voiced auctioneer finally
came to lot of plain and somewhat worn
furniture 1t had belonged to the plain
woman, and was being sold to satisfy the
mortgage ON it. One by one the articles were
sold the old bureau to one, the easy rocker
to another, and bedstead to a third.
Finally the auctioneer hauled out a childs
high chair 1t was old and rickety, and as
the auctioneer held it up everybody laughed
everybody except the pale faced woman
A tear trickled down her cheek The auC
tioneer saw it, and somehow a lump seemed
to come up his throat, and his gruff voice
grew soft. He remembered little high chair
at home, and how it had once filled his life
with sunshine
1t was empty now The baby laugh, the
two little hands that were once held out to
greet papa" from that high chair were gone
forever. He saw the pale faced womans
piteOus looks and knew what it meant; knew
that in her eye the little rickety high chair
was more precious than if it had been made
agination he could see the little dimpled
cherub which it once held; could see the
chubby little fist grasping the tin rattle box
and pounding the chair full of hicks; could
see the little feet which had rubbed the paint
off the legs; could hear the Growing and
laughing in glee-and now, the little high
chair was empty.
He knew there was an aching void in the
pale faced woman's heart; there was in his
own. Somehow the day may come and go,
but you never get over it. There is no one to
dress in the morning, no one to put to bed at
night. Don't taught" said the auctioneer,
softly, as somebody facetiously offered ten
cents; many of you have little empty high
chairs at home which money would not tempt
you to part with" Then he handed the clerk
bill out of his own pocket and remarked,
sold to the lady right there" and as the
pale faced woman walked out with the little
high chair clasped in her arms, and tears
streaming down her cheeks, the crowd stood
back respectfully, and there was suspicious
moisture in the eyes of the man who had bid
ten cents.-Detroit Free Press.

The theory was good, but it failed in prac

jerks had a queer dream the other night.
He thought he saw a priZe-ightcrs' ring, and
in the middle of it stood a doughty little
champion who met and deliberately knocked
over, one by one, a score or more of big,
burly-lOoking fellows, as they advanced to
the attack. Giants as they were in size, the
valiant pigmy proved more than a match for
them. 1t was all funny that jerks woke
up laughing. He accounts for the dream by
the fact that he had just come to the cOnclu-
sion, after trying nearly every big, drastic
pill on the market, that Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, or tiny Sugar coated
Granules, easily knock out" and beat all

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-07-10

There is of course no misunderstanding of the reasons that have prompted the president in reaching his conviction that an extra session is necessary. As the re- publican majority in the next house as it now stands is something less than half a dozen, and as this narrow margin can hardly be looked upon as providing sup porting majority, it is regarded necessary to increase it by the decision of the con- tested seats in favor of the republicans. It was hoped until recently that the new states would send republicans to con g, ess, but they have already shown dis position to range themselves in the demo- cratic column, and it becomes doubly important therefore that the control of the house be fixed permanently and promptly in the hands of the party. President Harrison is fully aware of the uncertainty that exists with regard to the new states, and republican senators like Allison, Chandler, ,Cullom and Dolph, in con- junction with national committee, men have still further impressed the situation upon Qlm. we may therefore 1OoE tO eSo IA0 extra session to be held in October taken up with ways and means of increasing the narrow republican majority and mak ing more solid the republican power of
 controlling the legislation of the regular | session. It is incumbent on the republi
 cans to redeem their obligations to the
 tariff barons and monopoly kings who provided the sinews of war during the
 last campaign, and they propose to put
 themselves in position for doing so.
 On no other ground can necessity be urged for an extra session. It may be cl ai red that it is needed in the interest ot
 Legislation, but nobody will be caught with such chaff. It will be political
 session entirely, called for politica
 motives, conducted on political methods
 and with political results entirely in view As for the interests of the country that if consideration that is not accustomed te
 enter into the calculations of President
 Harrison and the republican managers.

uaster Cuses.as.

\ peculiar Easter Sunday custom is still in vogue in some of the northern counties In England. On th&t day tho men parade ths streets with tho privilege of 'ifting" every woman they meet three dmes from tho ground. and demanding in payment either . Kiss or sixpence. On Easter Monday tho tables are turned. the women being entitled to the chance of recovering their kisses or sixpences as the case may be.
 In Lancashire and in Cheshire. Stafford. shire and Warwickshire, says Table Talk, and perhaps In other counties, the ridiculous custom of '1ifting" or ''heavin0' Is practised. On Easter Monday the men lift the women and on Easter Monday tho women lift or heave the men. Tho process Is performed by two iusty men or women joining their hands across each others wrists; then, mak- ing the person to be heaved sit down on their arms, they lift him up aloft two or three times and often carry him several yards along the street.
 A grave clergyman who happened to be passing through town in Lancashire on an Easter Tuesday and having to stay an hour or two at an inn was astonished by three or four lusty women rushing into his room ex- claiming that they had come "to lift him."
 "To lift mep repeated tho amazed divine ; 'what can you meanf
 "Why, your reverence. we're como to lift you, cause it's Easter Tuesday" 'Lift me because it's Easter Tuesday? l don't understand. Is there such 0 custom hereT'
 "Yes, to be sure, all us women was lifted yesterday and us lifts the men today. And In course it's our rights and duties.
 After little further barley. the reverend traveller compromised with his fair visitors for half a crown and thus escaped the dreaded compliment.

THE Brooklyn Eagle reminds the dem ocrats that the republicans have a majority of the house of representatives and that flibustering to preserve rules that permit the majority from doing what the majority want to do will not commend itself to the country. But the republicans were of opinion that the rules were good enough when the democrats had major ity. Why shouldn't they be good enough now when the boot is on the other leg

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Word comes from Washington that there would be an extra session of the next congress called in the middle of October He is said to have been con vinced by the arguments of the republican leaders, most of whom desire an extra session, the more easily because he had come to the conclusion there ought to be an extra session himself. And he is represented as fully expecting to see the Louisiana vacancy and the Montana seat filled with republicans.
