General Passenger Agent Brydon, of the
Lake Erie 81 Western, who has been in Chi
cago for couple of days, returned yester-
day. He says he IS convinced that the
present movement to bring about a MAIN
tenance of both passenger and freight rates
in all directions Is an earnest one, and will
be successful in its results. In fact, he
thinks that at the present time rates are
better maintained than at any time since
competition has been known between the
| leading roads of the country.
| Much Importance is given to the accept
| ance of the position of chairman of the In
| terstate Association by Commissioners
| Walker and it is believed that the plan is
] to be given an earnest trial. Undoubtedly
| Chairman Walker will take strong grounds
| and make decided use of the power of
| coercion through the interstate-cOmmerce
| law. Forebodings of evil to the association
have been heard, but they are almost in
| variably traceable to interested specula-
| tors. 1t is believed that the outstanding
| roads will soon be knocking at the door of
the Interstate Railway Association for ad-
| mittance.
Security holders of the Ohio Indiana &
| Western, formerly the l., b. Il w. COM
| pany," says the New York Bulletin of Mon
day last, "are becoming anxious to know
something about the condition and pros
| poets of their road, and they have been un-
able to get information at the company's

and Tom Reed. Of Maine, comes In with &
little poem which he would like to see in
type If 1t be worthy. He says he viii sur
round it by a speech, if necessary, in order
to get it printed. Then a member from
Mississippi runs in with a speech which he
desires to have substituted for the one he
delivered at the morning session of Con-
gress. Next comes the Chaplain who Just
remembers that ne was little ungrammat-
zeal TO God in opening the House, and de-
sires, not for his own sake especially, but on
behalf Of the cause he represents, to have
the correction made also to add another
line to the cOuplet with which he closed his
prayer, otherwise it might not be accepted
at the Throne of Grace.

Just as fresh as it ever was. 1t combines ali
the earnest form of an English joke book
with the frOthy figures and statistics Of
census report, the bright personal infOrma-
ton Of a city directory with a dog chain on
it, the gentle pathOs of the tax roll for 1888,

Sherman and others. Special articles will
appear from time to time byits best writer's,
both in the House and Senate, men who
will during the present year give up more
OF their time to the pre- paratiOn of such adj
dresses or essays for the Record and less to
making speeches than heretofore In past
years too much time has been given to de-
HVering these speeches or opinions, ana the
printing has been considered secondary;
but now the editors of the Record hope to
print the best work Of Congress IN advance
of its delivery, or in many instances giving
much better and entirely original matter in
the Record. Page after page Of the maya
zine will this year be used for this purpose
exclusively by the publishers, and thus it is
hoped that those who have heretofore gone
to the House or the Senate to listen to
speech will become paying subscribers to
the Record in order to get more and better
literary stuff.
It is thought that the time will come at
last when Congress will be merely opened
with the aid Of d powerful prayer and then
the various associate editors Of the Record
will repair to their cOmmitt6e-rOOms, thus
refreshed and purified, to write their ed
itorials for the great magazine and its eager
readers.
In the humorous department several
changes will be made with great advantage
to the paper; it is thought Senator Riddle
berger will give less time to histriOnic hu-
NOR hereafter, and thus have more leisure
for sparkling and bubbhng in the columns
Of the Record. Heretofore many of his best
things were not reported, as the blue pencil
has slaughtered his brightest and gOOdlest
humOr. He will now have chance to do
his best, and see that his work is properly
printed. Mr., Riddleberger will also handle
the laughter font and (hicD galley under
contract with the editor Of the Record,
with a positive obligation on his part not
to contribute to any other paper in the
meantime.
This may read like a puff for the Congress
siOnaI Record, but I feel a growing interest
in the paper which is far above mercenary
considerations. The paper is one that I
have watched with much sOIicitude for
many years. It has had a hard struggle,
and other papers have hoped on it in
critical way that made my heart bleed.
Now it is prospecting. It has q good staff,
and, best Of all, it is backed by Congress
with writer's like Preston B. Plumb and
Amos i. Cummings, old journalists, who
can write a speech for themselves or others
whose heads may give hem pain when they
try to use them for thinking purposes.
With a hen-bOx full of statistics and a two
busheI coffee sack full Of poetry, to say
nothing of pick-ups, or picks-up, rather, in
the way of prolonged sensation, applause
in the gallery and cries of "Shet up!"l, the
Record is better equipped than ever before,
and yet there will be no addition made to

The Guardians of Ancient Rome.

There were in ancient Rome 300
cOnstables, and, as ~bhe streets were
unlighted at night, ana as beggars and
brigands were even more sturdy and
energetic than they have ever been in
the Rome of later years, as the elder
brother of the London Mohawk, the
drunken patrician, was very Unscrupu-
lOus, and as every Roman citizen evaded
every police regulation with the great
est ingenuity, 1900 were none too
many. Moreover, the streets were so
narrow that, although nobody but the
vestals, members of the imperial fam
lily, and a few others were allowed to
drive through them, quarrels and dis
turbances were incessant, even in the
hours of daylight, and a Roman Gil
bert, had there been such q creature,
would have found delighted nearer
in the person of every constable. But
their woes were unsung; and so were
those of the fremen, although the lat
ter seem to have had enough to do;
for, in spite Of being "freproOf, an
cient Rome was remarkable for stupen-
dous CONGREGATIONS.
Some We're wiIIfulIy caused, as when
Nero burned the city in order to re-

fires occurred frequently, and 1000

their organization, but the only detail

she did without injury to herself In
the following incident the hawk made
a worse mistake In selecting its prey
Mr. Bennett, of Benefits Mills.
n. J., saw large hen hawk make a
rapid descent in meadow near his
home. A moment later he heard
sharp cry and saw the hawk slowly
rise. The ascent was apparently very
difficult for the hawk.
Mr.. Bennett saw that it had q dark
object In its talons, which he supposed
to be a rabbit. He watched the hawk
closely, and when it had reached an
altitude of perhaps one hundred feet
it give shril cry and fell heavily to
the ground. He went to the spot
where the hawk fell, and was surprised
to find it dead; but he was more sur
prised to find in death-grip in it's
talons Iifeless weasel.
Upon examining the hawk, Mr.. Ben
nett found an ugly rent in its throat,
which had evidently been made by the
weaseIs teeth, and which caused It's
death.
With much difficulty he removed the
weasel from the talons of the hawk
The claws were sunk to their full depth
in the sides of the animal, and one had
doubtless penetrated its heart. The
hawk was one of the largest ever seen

the Lawrences, looked up from her
work and exclaimed: "What can the
matter be?"
"Only May coming in from school,
answered Mrs. Lawrence, with a smile.
"She can make as much noise on o
rainy day as boy"
Even so it proved. In a few minutes
May came up, face wet and glowing

"Here 1 am, mamma, she cried.
"Did you get wet, May ?"
"No, indeed; I couldn't, all bundled
up so. It was fun. I don't see what

eve had a way, said her grand
mother. you know few children ever
wore shoes and stocking then, except TO
church; but, as we were the minister's
family, our mother thought it proper
that we should wear them. When the
roads were muddy, however, or dusty,
we used to roll up shoes and stockings
in q bundle with a towel or two, and
trot along with our bare feet to school.
1t wouldn't do to spoil such expensive
things as shoes, for one pair had to
last a year, at least, and then be
handed over TO the next younger child.
The older boys and girls would take
turns in carrying the little ones over
hard places, and a twO-LniIe walk was
not much for country children. Then.
when we reached TIE schoolhouse, we
would wipe our feet on the towels, put
on our stockings and shoes, and be all
right again.
9'When it really showed or rained,
the fun was better still. If we were
caught in a storm, our great tip-caFt,
with a load OF bedquiIts, would be seen
driving up about the time Tor school
to close.
Come children, in with you'll would
be the cry, and we, five or six Of us,
with perhaps twice the number of
neighbors' children, would stow our
selves away upon the quilt In the bot
tom of the cart, have one or two com
fOrters' spread over us and tucked IN
at the sides, and then set off for home.
what froIics and giggling there
would be all IN the dark, under those
quilts, as the cart joIted over the stones
and shook us all together in merry
heapl Along the way we would stop
at this house and at that; the ends Of
the guilt wouId be lifted and out would
crawl some rumpled little traveller.
When at last we were at home again,
the hired man would take rs out,
quilts, children and al, IN a squirting
bundle, and deposit Us on the kitchen

we could.
