He had never seen telephone
and his friend was showing him
how it worked. 1t was in his office
He called up his house and his
wife came to the telephone.
"My dear, Mr.. Jones is here, and
| have asked him to come up to
dinner"
Then he turned to Mr.. Jones and
said:
"Put your ear to that and you'll
hear her answer"
He did, and this was the answer:
"Now, John, told you | would
never have that disagreeable
wretch in my house again."
"What was that" spoke out Mr..
Jones.
Women are quick. a man would
have simply backed away from
that telephone and said no more.
She took in the situation in IA
moment when she heard the
strange voice, and quick is ii flash
came back the sweetest kind of n
voice:
"Why, Mr.. Jones, how doyou do?
I thought my husband meant
Mr.. Jones. DO come up
to dinner. l shall be so glad to see
you.

Ille Sun
For 1889 and for the Democracy.

The Sun believes that the camp.
paign for the election of Demo
cratic Congress in 1890 and Il Dem
ocratic President in 1892 should be-
gin OH or about the fourth of next
March. The Sun will be on hand
AT the beginning and until the end
of the most interesting and impor-
tant political conflict since the
war, doing its honest utmost, aa
ever, to secure the triumph OF the
Democratic party and the perman-
ent supremacy of the principles
held by Jefferson, Jackson and
Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the
return to absolute power of the
common enemy of all good Demo-
crats--the policical organization
for whose overthrow the Sun
fought at the front for fifteen years
the memorable years of Grant and
the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and
Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that
Democrats now confront, and he
will be intrenched in the same
strong position. 1t has been ear
ried once by brave and hopeful
fighting. DO you not believe with
the sun that the thing can be done
again? Wait and see
The hope of the Democracy is in
the loyal efforts of the united press
cherishing no memories of past
differences in non-esscntials, for
getting everything but the lessons
of experience, and that victory is
duty.

A Physicians Night Call.

~ story of u nocturnal visit is
told with great glee by one OF
Philadeiphia'S eminent practition.
ers, as joke on himself. He had
been up several nights with patti.
eDts, and one evening went to his
couch with the determination that
he would go out that night for no
one. About one a. IN. his night
bell sounded. "What's wanted 2"
. he called down the tube.
"Doctor, my wife's ill, and she
wants YOU" was the reply.

some on else"
"But, Doctor, she won't have any
one else"

"Oh, doctor, please come. She's
very ill.,"
"Well, where is it 2" (reienting a

"Then | certainly can't go" (de-
cidedly); otis too far"
"Oh, but, Doctor, my wife wants
you," pleadingly.
"Well, get carriage and I'll co."
came the tired response.
"Oh, but, Doctor, 1 can't afford
carriage"
"Well, then, that settles it. |
won't go without one. Goodnight.
And the physician returned to
his slumbers. About ten minutes
later wheels ratified up to his door,
and again sounded the nigbtbell.
#Weil, what is 2"
Doctor, here's the carriage" and
the now thoroughly maddened and
wakened physician dressed and
went with the man. About two
hours lateP, when the carriage
brought him home, much to his
surprise he was requested by the
driver to "settle up.n rWhy, the
man that hired you paid you"
"Not much he didn't, sir, He said
that you would when we got back
here" said tbe driver.

A well posted man laid down
the medical law the other day to q
| reporter of tho San Francisco
Chronical. He said the first thing
doctor finds out when you send
for him is your pet taste, habit,
article of diet or beverage. Then
he orders you to stop 1t. And if
you are not a very big patient you
have got to stop it. But, said the
we'll posted mani know u man
who was little sick the other day
and consulted a physician.
Stop drinking whiskey, said the
doctor.
Is it as serious as that? asked
the man in alarm.
Yes, indeed.
They had II bottle of wine, fine
cigar and long chat, and the
doctor became very agreeable.
When he got up to go the patient
said:
wish there ives something else
than whisky l could stop You see--
WE'LL don't know, said the
doctor, Lemme see. Do you eat
butter?
Yes.
Then stop butter and go on with
the whisky. Good-day.
Have you any particular object
in loafing around here asked the
contractor of a new building of an
idler who was in the way.
Yes sir was the prompt reply.
Well, what is it?

and they never think of looking
for me where there is any work
going on.

He Shed His Coat.
A Sad Tale Involving Unpleasant Con-
sequences.

A tale OF disaster to u young bus.
mess mans pride and spring over

Gently by friend of the victim,
says the Kansas City Times. This
young business man is the persona
tication of modesty or bashfulness,
but he has by dilligent and heroic
effort managed to lead young
lady of Troost avenue to the under
standing that she is to be his.
Twice Il week he has gone to her
home to impress upon her the ex-
i1tence and Importance of the
compact. Sunday evening the
young man went to the home of the
young woman to have u reitera-
tion of the whole matter, and the
session was not completed until
l0:30 p. m. by pas watch. AS the
young ladies will sometimes do,
this one followed the receding form
OF the senior partner of the STEADY
company" organization to the front
door, and after series of di!atory
motions, an adjournment was
agreed upon. He stood on the
threshold to fasten his gloves and
she swung the front door shut.
AS the spring lock snapped the
door nipped the skirt of his coat
and held it against his greatest
strength. He was II prisoner and
she who was to be his had floated
up the stairway unmindful that
he who was to be hers was to hers
was impaled by his coat-tail on
the veraDda. This bashful young
man has no inclination to ring the
bell for pa would answer it and he
and the old gentleman were not on
particular sociable terms. He |
knew the only resourse and he slid
from he coat and left it tanning
in the wind like a scarecrow in II
,ornfield. Then came the family's
'avorite young dog and had few
'ounds with the garment. When
he maid servant answered the
bell Monday morning

The recent rains have thrown
corn back. The frequent use of
the cultivntor is now the best
remedy to allow the corn to make
rapid growth. Grass is the only
crop that has been benefited by the
wet spell, though the hay crops
have been damaged. Weeds have
had every opportunity for growth
and few days of warm weather
will cause them to seed.

a BAD FREIGHT WREoK.
Fifteen Freight Cars Leave Il
Track nl Dover.

TRACK ht Dover.
A bad freight wreck occurred at Dover
about 1890 q. N. Thursday, when
10 cars Of the south-bound fast freight
train No. 15, which leaves here about
1880 p. M, jumped the track. The aooi-
dent occurred just opposite the fair
grounds. It's cause is not definitely
known aud is var;ously ascribed to q
broken axle, broken frog or some Himi-
lar trouble.
The cross.ties show that one or more
cars had left the track half mile from
where the wreck took place. This car
ran jumping across the cross-ties until II
struck switch opposite the fair grounds
when 1t was thrown from the track and
IA others followed. The cars were scat
tered over both tracks, but the most OF
them were thrown in the direction of the
fair grounds, breaking up the station
platform there and one of them even
crashing through the fair ground fence,
One of the train hands was on the
wrecked section OF the train, but escaped
unhurt, as did all the other train hands.
The cars themselves, despite their
rough experience, did not seem badly
broken mp, and the freight in them was
not as badly damaged rs might have been
expected. -Four Of the cars contained
sugar, from the Philadelphia Refining
Company, consigned to East et. Louis, q
part of which was spilled. There were
one or two car loads OF bananas, and the
other cars contained freight which re-
quired speedy transportation.
The track for about 200 yards was lit
orally uprooted. The cross-ties were
torn up in places aud the rails twisted
and misplaced, delaying all travel. The
north bound Norfolk express, due here
ut A. 10 q. M, did not arrive until four
hours later, and the trains due here Of
8.45 and 9.43 .. m. arrived as one train
about 1040 O'Clock. Passengers were
transferred around the wreck. The
wreck train was on the scene at an early
hour and the men are now working hard
to repair the damage. but the track viii
not be ready for traffic before this even
ing. The train was in charge OF Jerry
Mahoney with William 0'Neili as engi
ueer.
