Needed Legislation.

Editor Morning NetUs: The following,
from trade paper, expresses conc!sely the
situation regarding travelling men, cf which
there are estimated to be $4,000 in the
United States:
The S. T. A., although rebutfed by local
lines, will combine for the enactment Of
laws applicable to the entire union;
All firms sending out travellers are aware
of the burdensome character of railroa
aud extra baggage charges, aud must be
interested in any hopeful effort 10 reduce
them. Such an effort is now making, and
only needs united action to bsc)me success
full.
A universal mileage ticFe sold at price
much below the usual ticket rateI, al 20 d
on many OF ali roads in the country, has
been proposed. and official representatives
of several leading roads have Ido-sed il.
A 5000 mile ticket at 500 has en- sold by
one road, and is good on thirty Others. This
idea is sought to b. extended. Many roads
will not grant such privilege to the gen.
eral public, but are willing to do 1t for the
benefit of commercial travellers since they
recognize the latter ms steady patrons, both
De! sonally and as freight forwarders.
This lust and equitable discrimination is
prohibited b. the interstate commerce law,
and the only way TO secure 1t Is through
the modification of that law in this respect.
Several proposed amendments to that end
are now before congress. Notable
among these is that offered by
Hon. II. C.. Hansbrough, and which
is now in the committee on com
merce. Petitions urging the passage of this
bill are being circulated among several
trades, and should receive signatures of the
manufacturing and jobbing jewelry trade.
These petitions should be forwarded as
soon as possible, either TO the Hon. Charles
s. Baker, chairman of the committee, or to
the Hon. H. C. Hansbrough, Washington,
d. e. Printed copies of the petition can
be secured of Mr. Charles Clucas, mercantile
exchange building, New York.
The travelling men Of Canada have been
organized ten or twelve years. In recent
showing they claimed surplus of 800, 900
in their treasury, paying death benefits of
$1,000 and good weekly benefits. Their
dues and other assessments are paid by their
employers, who feel that they get all the
benefits that the organization has succeeded
in obtaining from the Dominion railroads
in the way of special privileges, reduced
rates and greater allowance of baggage,
etc This is a body that the s. T. A. might
we'll emulate. Very respectfully,
ROB MAXINSON.

He WANTED TO KNOW.
A Country Visitors Interview About
Crops on Change.
From The ST. Louis Republic.

Crops on Change.
From the St Louis Republic
Assistant Secretary Whitmore of the Mer-
chants exchange is pretty we'll posted on
statistics handled in the exchange office, but
there are some things connected with such
figures that he don't know, and he is not
ashamed to say so.
Yesterday country cousin" dropped in
on Change, and, after wandering about
under the main telt and watching tie
animals in the pit for awhile, be ran the
blockade past the flour tables and the barley
corner, carrOmed on the water cooler at the
north end of the hail and came to anchor
against the rail opposite Mr. WhitmOres
desk. Here he paused moment for wind,
and surveyed the vast collection Of tabulated
wisdom over which the assistant secretary
was shedding the light of his cOuntenance.
Finally the stranger went inside the sacred
square. and leaning confidently over Mr.
Whitmore grew rustically sociable.
81 want to know he drawied in Il coun-
try-store drY-goods-box tone of voice, "Do
you fellows keep count of the craps"
1--WE do responded Mr.. Whitmore, with
pardonable pride in being able to enlighten
a visitor.
"Y OH don't tell,' calculated the unknown,
looking at the assistant secretary with I'M
disguised admiration. And you know
just what what was raised lasO year all over
the country2'
Mr.. Whitmore's oracular head bowed q
solemn ass 9nt, and his interviewer grew
more emphatic in his admiration by bring
ing his plowhsnd heavily down upon the
official shoulder
Great Scottgn he continued. "Just how
much of all, wheat, cora, oats and tother
crap3P
Yes" replied Mr.. Whitmore, 1--WE have
the figures for the total of every sort of
grain"
"Wen, we'll, WELL" and the strangers
head revolved slowly on it, sunburnt pivot
as he surveyed the modest office which con-
tanned so much collected wisdom. "And
can you tell just how much wheat and corn
and SIGH was raised in Missourah and Hi
noy and Kansas all of last year"
ITO a bushel," responded his listener,
with a faint ring Of modest complacency in
his voice.
THAT beats alp was the astonished re-
JOinder, as the country visitor sheered off
after his contact with such a human en-
cyclop8dia. Then he stole back again and
leaned with his elbows on the secretarial
desk, like sylvan cherub a little the worse
for wear.
Say" he ventured at last. 81 want to
know. Can you tell me exactly what the
wheat crop will be this year, SOS can
carry the news back homes just TO a
bushel, like last yearN
Then Mr.. Whitmore's face assumed its
Old Orchard Sunday morning expression,
and he said sadly: "No, my friend, can
not I've told you everything I know
already, and you amt content. If / knew
what the wheat crop was going to be this
year, just to bushel, 1 wouldn't be sitting
here as you see me. I'd be cavorting around
in the pit out wonder end IN thirty DAYS
I'd have a mortgage on the earth and own
that wheat crop besides. There are limits
to human knowledge, my friend. even to
mine, and you're hitting above that limit
right now"
And the visitor went ont yearninglY.

The Newport Belle.

Miss Sallie Hargous, who is the belle of
Newport this year, says the New Y ork Sun,
is dark, with clear brunette skin and a
figure of medium height. She is the most
thoroughly discussed young woman in New
York society. Not one man oIt OF hundred
would pronounce her beautiful, and she
scarcely receives a second glance when she
cutters an opera house. theater or a restau-
rant, where the spectators are not strictly
confined to the members OF the four hun

almost entirely to society people, but they
rave over Miss Hargous in a fashion that is
unprecedented. She is not backed by the
social prestige of any noted or influential
family name; her fortune is not TO be COM

the season, and yet she Is the queen Of this
particular year just as she was of last

TOO TOUGH FOR THE BULLETS
Twenty Soldiers shoot at an Indian,
Who Still Shows Fight.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The blow of a bullet will ordinarily
paralyze SO many nerves and muscles of a
white man as to knock HIM down, even
though no vital part be hit. The Indian
gives little heed to such wounds, and to
drop him in his tracks" the bullet must
reach the brain, the heart, or the spine
II have seen an Indian go off with two
bullets through his body" writes Col
Dodge, within an inch or two Of the spine,
the ouly effect of which was to cause him
to change his gait from run to dignified
walk
A cavalry force of some twenty-five men
surprised small party of Indians in a
thick chaparral, though which, however
there were numerous glade and openings.
The Indians scattered at once, and the
soldiers separated in pursuit.
After some time, when the cessation of
firing indicated that the affair was over,
the commander had the recall sounded
Soon one and then another came in, until
the whole command was assembled, when
to the qualification of the officer, almost
every man claimed TO have killed an Indian
They went collect the dies. On reaching
the first one it was found that nearly every
soldier claimed to have killed him.
A sergant dismounted and approached
the body. The PROSTATE Indian rose up
ana usalI VICIOUS Do" WIN ms KNIFE,
which the sergeant barely escaped. When
the Indian was finally killed 1t was found
that he mad not less than twenty wounds
One bullet. probably the first one, had
broken his hip and thrown him from his
horse. After that he had shot at every
soldier that passed near him, attracting
attention aud being KILLED again and
again, only 70 rise up and fight the next
soldier that came along.
Instead Of twenty Indians the soldiers

Dave Hills Dilemma.

Gov. David B. Hill entered the
apartments provided for him during
his entertainment by Gen. Earle at
Normandie-by-the-Sea. 1t was
Thursday night, and the governor
was about to 60 to bed. He locked
the door, lighted the gas low, and
calmly and deliberately began to pre-
pare the gubernatorial form for its
nocturnal repose, when the cares of
state are lost in the unconsciousness
of peaceful slumber.
There was, of course, a bed in the
room, and this certainly would not
account for the wonderment that fill
ed the gubernatorial eye as, after
lazily wandering about the apartment
it finally rested upon the daintily pre-
pared couch. Now there was some
thing unusual about the appearance
of the counterpane something un-
usual, at least, for an unoccupied bed.
AS rapidly as if about to veto an
unpopular legislative measure, the
hand Of the executive reached out
and turned on a food of light. Step
ping gently to the bed, the same out
stretched hand softly pulled down the
coverings.
II want my mamma want my
mamma-a-a
1t was a shrill little voice. The
gubernatorial form trembled.
81 want my mammal want my
mamma-now p came the wee voice
again.
There, snugly nestlingupon pretty
white pillow in the bed prepared for
Mr.. Hill, was one of the prettiest
little dolls that was ever provided
with photograph.
II want my mammal Iwant-bizz
burr-r-r, bang"
Just then there was a loud rap ON
the door.
"What do you want, governor p
asked a mutfied voice from without.
The governor quickly opened the
door. There was no one without, but
down the darkened corridor he heard
the echoes of feeting footsteps and
suppressed laughter.
"Did you pass pleasant night,
governor ?"asked Gen. Wylie at the
breakfast table the next morning.
Gov. Hill looked severe.
Daniel" he said, "what did you
have in that long box you brought

full silence ensued that was broken
only after the meal had been conclud-
ed.-Baltimore American.

Napoleon and Violets.

Napoleon when first consul, once
asked Josephine what present he
should bring her on her name-day.
"Only bouquet of violets," she re-
piled. On the morning of the day
it was in February-Napoleon was
waiting impatiently for the arrival of
violets he had ordered from Versailles,
as it was impossible to get them from
the gardens of Paris.
While waiting, he received from
an unknown hand a magnificent bou-
quet of violets. He sprang on his
horse and galloped to Malmaison, and
presented the flowers to his wife.
From that day Napoleon loved the
flower and Josephine always had
violets about her. When she died,
violets were planted on her tomb.
Napoleon planted violets at st.
Helena. During his exile the question
asked by one wearing a buttohole
bouquet of violets. "Is this your
favorite flower? Do you like its
fragrance ?" meant, care you a friend
to the exiled emperor, and do you
favor his return to France"
When the emperor's remains we're
restored to France, as soon as the
coffin touched French soil it was
covered with bouquets and wreaths
of violets.
When Louis Napoleon was waiting
in the room of a Paris hotel to learn
if he had been chosen president of the
republic, and he noticed that the
landlord had placed on the mantel
and window-sills costly vases filed with
violets. In after days, when Louis
became emperor, he remembered that
delicate attention of the landlord.
The president very often visited the
villa Of a Spanish family, near Paris.
The eldest daughter of the house was
the attraction that drew him. At
first she rejected his attention f; but
one evening a large assembly at her
mothers house saw Eugene appear in
an exquisite violet toilet. There were
violets in her hair, violots looped upon
her dress, and in her hand she carried
bouquet of violets. The guests un-
derstood, from the language of the
flowers, that Eugene had accepted
Louis Napoleon's offer of marriage.
In the early days Of the Second
Empire, on the 10Th Of November, It
