STEADY JOB.
How n Man Makes His Living by
waking Folks Up.

"There's O man who has got
lob which will keep him comfortable
during his old age" said a Twelfth
Precinct policeman to q reporter
Yesterday morning. The speaker
was standing al the corner OF Grand
and Pitt streets. The man whom be
pointed out was O short stout per-
son, whose gray hair and n%oustaohf
gave evidence Of his being close t.
60 years Of age. He was walking
along Grand street.
What does he do?" asked the re-
porter.
well, I'll tell you his history.
He was a mechanic who got out OF o
Job about two years ago. Being
used to rising early, he kept 10 mp,
though out of work. A bartender
living in his house asked the old
man TO wake him every morning
He consented, and continued to do
so for O week or more, when the bar
ten der explained to q milkman how
he managed to get out of bed on
time. The milkman was q late
riser, and he got the old man to
wake him up also. 1t vas not long
before the milkman told a drowsy
butcher of the scheme and the old
man had another customer. The
old man got paid from each man
and resorts of his reliability having
got around among those who had to
get up early, he soon had over a
dozen customers. He now has
en- ough men to keep him going all
night. He has never been known to
let a mar sleep after the time he had
to get up. For, as, he says himself
the man might lose his job, and ii

Cane Msught Have Been Corn
A traveller crossing Kansas, say
the Pittsburg Dispatch, saw for tht
first time a great field of sugar cane,
but misteok it for Indian corn
which it somewhat resembles. In
tending to be affable, he said to a,
old farmer sitting ear him in tb'
car:
That's a fine field of corn, sir.
"Call that corn up your way, d.
you?" was the response.
Why, isn't it?"
Well, it mought be corn, meb
be-" said the farmer with a SLOW
smile. at mought be corn jest a
Dur cat mought have been o rabbi

"How's that?"
"Well, old Tom was licking hi
way through the woods back of oul

and my son Jake was out with bi

When we come to jibe Jake about i

The traveller laughed heartily a
he glanced again from the a win

the farmer concluded:
"An' jest in the same way

a Give AWAY.

The following from last weeks Ar.
gus is what the boys would call 9
"dead give away"
The refusal to elect S. C. Shuriletf As
member of the Supreme Court was q
specimen of the most arrant bad faith
that has been known in recent years. II
was known that Speaker Start owed his
election as Speaker to the minority, and
his friends professed to feel deep an.
probation of the good turn, declaring that
they would recipocate when the time
came to elect Judges. These men went
squarely contrary to their pledges. and
demonstrated the fact that the pledge of
Republican politician is in truth what
Talleyrand said of his promises, "Words
are simply made to disguise ones
thoughts"
SO then the Democrats voted for
and elected Start speaker, and there
by surrendered the House to the rail-
road interests and the ring and lob
by, because certain Republicans
promised them to vote for their man
for Supreme Court Judge, Ell? But
the latter failed to deliver the goods.
Well, the taker is as bad as the thief
the world over. If our Democratic
friends sold out their hirthright for a
mess of pottage it's matter for con-
graduation that the the grub wasn't
delivered.

such one is rather more fatal than that

What Manner of Men are They,

We mean the honorable directors
of the Vermont Agricultural Society
While still under full dominion of the
"Drugging Fiend," President Hooker
went from his notorious debauch at
Montpelier directly to Burlington to
attend the organizing meeting of the
directors of the State Agricultural
Society, and with him in this helpless
and imbecile condition right before
their eyes, the directors aforesaid re-
elected him President for the coming
year ! When such men do such
things with their eyes wide open, can
it be matter of surprise that public
morals and manners are on the down

gravitating devil-ward at railroad

to insist that morality and sobriety
shall prevail in public affairs as well

Deducting tho four years of Johr

the four of Grover Cleveland, during
which the control may be said to have

been governed 1902 years nearly by the
different parties in these proportions
Federalists, twelve years: Jefferson Re-

two years nearly; Democrats, twenty
eight years, and Republicans, twenty six

who has been prominently mentioned as
candidate for United States senator to

of rather commanding appearance, and
carries himself with a semi-military air
due to his training in the regular army,
He is six feet in height, and weighs over
200 pounds, His face is little on the
florid order, round and full. His eyes
are dark blue gray, and his hair and
mustache are brown, with a fiaxen tinge,
He is a very fluent talker, and seems to
have dipped into almost every subject
in his reading, He has been his own
schoolmaster almost entirely, having ac-
quired but httlc more than the bare ele-
ments of school education; but is well
informed on the fundamental principles
OF the various sciences.
Col Hutchinson was born in Pitt
sylvania county, Va, April "a, 1s47.
His parents were not rich, and at II
years of age he enlisted in the regular
army. He was sent under Gen. Crooks
command into Oregon and Idaho, where
he became conspicuous among his fell
