Character in a Handshake.

Don't put too much confidence in the man who shakes your hand as if he was playing a border hero in a cheap theatre. There is too much display, too much effort to appear cordial and warm and affectionate. The quality of friendship is not strained. The man who has known you but few days and greets you with a vigor that may be heard Tn the next square, while he takes your hand in one of his, sweeps the other skyward and brings it down in your imprisoned palm with a put-it-thar- pard air, may be honest and sincere, and love you like a brother, but it won't do you any harm to doubt him. -- Exchange.

Girls is grate on making bleeve. She will make bleeve a doll is live baby. She will make bleeve she is orfull sweet on another girl or a fel- low, if they come to see her, and when they are gone she will say "Horrid old thing!''
 Girls is olways fooling a feller. She cant lick yer, so she gets the best of yer that way.
 If you don't do what girl tells yer, she says yer horrid. l drather be horrid than be soft. If you do what a girl tells yer, you will do all sorts of foolish things.
 Girls can he good in school every day if they feel like it. shud think they would get tired and have to do sumthing wonse in a while; l know feler does. Girls say fellers acts orfull, but when girl gifts . going it she acts offer than any fel- Ter durst. They don't care for nuthing.
 If girl wants a fcller to carry her books home, she isn't satisfied unless she gets the same feller the other girls want, whether she likes him or not.
 Girls is grate on having secrets. l mean telling secrets. They make a secret out of nuthing at all and then tell it round to all the other girls, orfull quiet, just like as if it was sumthing dredfull. l bleeve girl likes to make bleeve they are doing sumthing dredful.
 Girls olways gifts their joggerfrey lesson better than feller, but if they are going anywhere they don their way bit, and are sure to git lost.

CONGRESS AND THE COUNTRY

The rules adopted by the Republi can caucus to give the power o legislation to the Speaker and few men appointed by him on importan committees will be forced on tn, House in few days. The Opposi ton will then be practically power less to prevent the most vicious leg. islation which the Republican oligar chy in and out of the House can de- wise. The control of the law making power will be transferred from tho people to the Republican nationa campaign committee, and laws vii be passed under the direction of DO ltical dcsperadoes who stick at noth ing. From these, appeal lies to the people, and this appeal they will at tempt to deny, as their tool in the Speaker's chair of the House denies appeals from his revolutionary rul- ings. They have supporting them the protected corporations the Pa cilic rings of the Western coast; the steamship subsidy rings of the East all who have practised or expect tC practise the fine art of robbery through Congressional enactment. These men will certainly roake the Presidential election of 1892 such a desperately reckless struggle fol power as the country has not seen not even in the campaign winch led to the civil war.
 The American people have whole some dread of such struggles, but this one is inevitable. The country will be forced to choose it's direction. It has the casting vote, and the ques- ton is whether it can be coerced or bought. On such question, in spite of recent experience, the Democratic party has everything to hope. The Republicans are in power by an acci- dent, which made it possible to con trol the country by the use of money. Their abuse of power may not break their party organization, but it will solidify the opposition, and the op- position, when solidilied, will consti- tute an overwhelming popular major ity. The Republican party cannot hold the West to the support of a despotism which sacrifices everything to the Northeast. The combination between Maine, Pennsylvania and Wall street will be broken at the polls by Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Iowa. -- St. Louis Republic.

BIXLEY'S PATENT.

i by JONe Nc an luea Saiu Mir. BiXley, glcefully, while at the dinner table the other day. "Now, here, we've spent half our time while at the table, passing things to each other, and it's all nonsense. know l just how it all can be done away with and I'll have the thing patented be- l fore month and make a mint of money out of it. Pm going to put in all my spare time on it, and I'll soon show you the model of one of the cleverest inventions of the age. '"
 Mrs. Bixley did not say anything. She was accustomed to outbursts of this kind on the part of Mir. Bixley, who was frequently seized with q mania for patenting and inventing something, and as he had always re- covered without mortgaging the house or injuring any of the family, she hoped all would end well this time.
 Three days later, after he had worked most of the night before, he came to Mrs. Bixley with his latest tclever invention. -
 "lou see, my dear, what it is," he said calmly, as he gave it whirl. "Its revolving dining-room table, to do away with this eternal passing of things to each other. When you sec anything out of reach that you want, all you have to do is to give the table gentle little whirl, and there you have the dish you want right in front of you. Now, what do think of that, my dear? Don't you think our fortune is made?"
 Ut might work, Elijah, :" replied Mrs. Bixley, calmly, If you could make several little improvements"
 What improvements 7" snapped ont Bixley.
 Well, tell me please, where your own plate would be when the dish you wanted had been whirled around in front of you"
 "WhV.-I-it-'
 And where would the rest of our plates be-"
 Well, l never thought of that. l -I-'
 "I suppose, my dear, there might be some sort of signal given by which all the others could grab their plates and hold on to them when the table was about to be whirled. or we might"
 "Take care, Harriet Amanda Blk ley; don't you go to far, now"
 "Or we might-why, Elijah, what do you mean by throwing valuable patent like that into the fire ?'
 "What do l mean, woman? You II know what mean when you're left despiscd grass widow with six young ones to look out for And that is just what will happen if you open your mouth again! Laugh now! Glggle, Titter! Tcc-hec some more, cant you? Darn a woman, anyhow. "- New York Times.

The Girl Who Hints.

Naturally, you didn't ask him, and you would be very indignant in- deed if anybody suggested that you had forced the poor fellow into bringing you the candy, the flowers, or Tn taking you to the concert. No, you didn't ask him, but you could not have been any clearer about it than you were when you looked into his eyes in your most bewitching way and told him how anxious you were to hear the great violinist, how sweet you thought violets, and how you did wish for pound of choco- late. He didn't want to get any of these, he hadn't the money to spend for them; he doesn't get very large salary; he is trying to keep ! himself out of debt; and yet, be- cause he is generous and can't resist pretty girl, you have forced him in- to dishonest position. That's it, in plain English. When the end of the week comes and he is SlO short in his money, little bit on his board | bill must wait, his laundress cannot be attended to, and the money that 1 should go home must be apologized | for. This Is his first step toward not doing his duty, and you have made him take it.
 The American man is generous, and when he has the money he will invite you himself without your sug- gestIng what you like, or what you think he ought to do. Besides the harm you do him you are making yourself vulgar. He has perfect right to go away and say that he doesn't want to visit at your house any more, because you hint and hint until he must take you to some place of amusement, or make you presents, and that, for his part, he cannot af- ford it. Continue as you are doing and after awhile you will get the reputation of being very undesira- ble girl to know, and certainly no man who has heard of your reputa- ton to "get things out of men, will want to ask you to be his wife. Bet ter to stay at home forever than to go self-invlted; better never taste candy than eat that at the high cost of your self-respect; better never smell violet or rose than forget in your search for them that it is the modesty of the violet and the dignity of the rose that makes them pre-emi' nent among the flowers. ~ Ladies Home Journal,

THE LOOM OF LIFE.

The loom of life with steady beat The tramp, tramp, tramp of human feet Is weaving now q silkcn veil. A living webb so fair, so frail Yet every thread Is dearly bought X flashing gem of human thought. Ihe warp was drawn when morning stars Attuned their harp. tO golden bars, Which echoed down the hills of space, And suns and worlds, with maiden grace. Joined in the song. piercing the air With darts of tone. Twas music rare, As long the lines of quiv'ring light, That chased away the gloom of night, There hung aS jewels there and bong The swaying tentacles of song. Gods throne, the strong and steady beam, Held fast the threads of light agleam, And souls slipped down the golden way, To mate with forms of sordid clay.

The Sian who Set IN and Ran tho
Earliest Locomotive In America

The man Who Set IN and Ran tho
Earliest Locomotive In America.
lIoraiio Allen, the well.known civil
engineer. under whose direction the
first locomotive brought to America
was built and ran, died at his home In
Montiose, N. j., recently, says the New
York 7fiJNRc lie entered Columbia
College in 1921, and was graduated near
The head of his class in 1898, taking
especially high rank in physics
In September, 1925, the first success.
eul locomotive was put in operation on
the Stockton and Darlington Railroad,
in England, by George Stephenson.
The news of It's success reached this
country carly in 1926, and so greatly in
ierestcd Mr.. Allen that he decided to 20
to Europe and study the new motive
power. He received an appointment
from the Delaware and Hudson Com
pany as contracting agent, TO purchase
in England the railroad iron required to
build ten miles of road from the com.
pany mines in the Lackawanna Valley
10 the Lackawaxcn, tributary of the
Delaware, and also authority to pur-
chase three locomotives for the new
railroad, 10 be built on plans to be de.
cided on by him.
Mr. Allen, on arriving at Liverpool,
made the acquaintance of George Ste
phenson, with whom he consulted in
the carrying out of his plans. Two of
the locomotives were ordered from Mr..
Stephenson and one from Foster, Ras-
trick Il Go. of Stourbridgc. II was the
lattcr-ihc Stourbridge Lion-that was
the first locomotive ever run In Amer.
lea. The locomotives were received In
New York in the winter Of 1928. 30, set
up and tested while suspended in the
air, and il was not until August, 1920,
that they were taken to the road for
which they were built This road ter
minated at Honesdalc, Pa, and ran
about 600 yards in a straight line, then
crossing the Lackawaxcn Creek by
sharp curve of $50 yards radius.
When the Stourbridge Lion was
swung in the air preparatory TO being
placed on the track il was discovered
for the first time that the aXlcs had an
upyicldiug parallel position, and that
there was no truck with kingbot that
would permit Of the engine accommo-
dating itself to the curve of the road.
Further, the road had been built of
green timber in long lengths and the
timbers had warped considerably in
places Nevertheless Mr.. Allen was
confident that all would be well. He
tried in vain. however, to- get an en-
gineer to run the locomotive. and no
official of the road would risk his life
in the apparently foolhardy enterprise.
Mr.. Allen then acted as engineer him
self, and ran the locomotive three miles
down the track and returned in safety,
