He Was so Cranky.

"a conductor has some strangeex-
periences,' said big Luke Scott, the
genial and popular conductor on the
Lake Shore. "Now, few days ago,
an old lady got on the train at Elk
hart. / came through and asked for
her ticket. Why she said. I gave
you my ticket NO, madam; you
did not Yes she said, 4 gave it
to you before wegot Elkhart.' Now,
the conductor on the other train
looks about as much like me as Billy
Dettman does. saw that the old
lady, who said she was going to
Blissfield, was cranky, SO / went on
through the train. When l came
back l asked her if she had found her
ticket. NO SIR she said; gave nv
ticket to you well, madam, just
look and see If you haven't got it,
NO sir, won't look Well, said I,
you better look, and I'll help you.

her bird-cage, her bandbox, and said
to me, Now l hope you're satisfied
We'll, madam, haven't you pocket

Revolution in Printing.

To the Man About Town an old printer remarked the other day {: I've are on the eve of a great revo- lution in the typographical appear ance of printed matter, especially newspapers, that is, the use of black paper printed in white letters, instead of white paper printed in black let ters, as now. The change is one to be desired by the public, for the reason that white letter on black ground possesses greater contrast and distinctness, and is, consequent- ly, easier on the eyes. The change will give at first an odd enough ap- pearance to printed matter, but the merit of it will eventually result in it's general adoption, and m time the black letter will be as rare as the white letter now is. Sign painters and show card printers recognize the superiority of the white letter, and are rapidly adopting it, as is evinced by the numerous white letter signs now to be seen on the streets and in the shops. The change would he comparatively inexpensive to pub fishers, and as black is cheaper than white paper, T saving could he ef- fectcd. With our newspapers thus printed, reading on cars on in dimly lighted places would be not only practical, but easy.- St. Louis Republic.

Hendrix College.

The board of trustees of Hendrix College concluded it's work last night. The whole of yesterday was given to the consideration of the question of removal of the College. The whole situation was carefully gone over, and every one who desired to be heard was given full time. The delibera- tions of the board resulted in the adoption of the following:
 Whereas CD, Hendrix College, To- cated at Altus, Ark, has 50 pros pered, and it's patronage so increased, that larger and better buildings are absolutely necessary, and more ground is wanted; and
 Whereas CD, A thorough canvass of the State having recently been made for purchase money, it is not wise to ask the church in the State to provide the money needed; and
 Whereas (3), Altus being a small town, is unable to furnish either money or patronage or influence suf- iicient to justify the permanent loca- tion of the College there; and
 Whereas (D, Hendrix College be- ing the joint property of the NJ. F.. Church. South, in Arkansas, should be at commanding and more ac- cessible point; and
 Whereas (5), It is the purpose of the NJ. E. Church, South, in Arkan- sas, to concentrate means and inllu- ence to make said College the only College for high education of young men; and
 Whereas (G), In view of the above named facts, the question of removal having been agitated, the three pat : ronizing Conferences, namely, the Arkansas, the Little Rock, and the White River annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at their recent sessions, have, by concurrent resolutions, referred the whole matter to the board of trustees of said college for speedy and final settlement therefore, be it
 Resolved, first, That the board of trustees of Hendrix College will, on March l9, 1890, at 10 o'clock q. m, :, in Little Rock, Ark, receive propo- sitions from representatives of towns desiring to secure said College, and will consider the same with a view of locating the College at that place which shall offer the greatest induce ments in the way of lands, money, geographical position, accessibility, healthfulness, morality, and patron age; provided, first, that donations of land and money must be bona fide and immediately available; sec ond, that the right to reject any and all propositions is hereby reserved by the hoard,'
