/ Nine years ago Ed Goss, an Auburn
confectioner, was working in an Auburn
shoe factory.
'' One day, just for curiosity, he took a
cent from his pocket and cut the letters
"Goss" on it, and not long after used it
toward paying a little bill which he
owed around the corner.
The other day some one came into his
store, and in the change handed him for

4 Long Tramp.

There arrived at Richmond, Ind, re-
Gently a husband and wife, accompanied
by a faithful dog, who, since Nov. /,
nave walked more than l 800 miles, and
who now find themselves within fifty
miles Of their destination. The man is
John May. Since the date mentioned
he and his wife have walked every foot
of the distance from a farm in South
Dakota, and they have not cut across
lots either. They proved up a claim in
South Dakota, and experienced the hard
ships hat thousands Of other early set
tiers in. the northwest went through
with. Fate seemed turned against
them, and after they had lost almost
everything on their place they secured
a few dollars and started on the long
tramp that is now almost ended.
Their destination is Dayton, O., and
today they refused assistance from char
liable people who offered to pay their
car fare there, saying they preferred not
to break their. record and would com
plete the journey on foot. The man is
twenty-eight years of age, the wife a
year younger, and they have been mar
ried but three years. After leaving
Dakota they walked through Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, ending their
journey in OhiO.-Cor. st. Louis Globe

A Strange Reunion.

A strange reunion took place at the
Cumming Insane asylum Thursday after
noon, an error on the part Of a criminal
court bailif leading to the meeting of
husband and wife, who thought each
other dead.
George and Lena Hillman lived hap
PLY at Oak Park. One night, not so
long ago, George did not come home at
his usual. hour, and his wife started TO
look for him. He returned home and
then went out on a hunt for her. While
she was wandering, around the police
picked her up, and after a short stay at
the Detention hospital she was sent to
Cunning, her identity being u~nrevealed.
Almost the same performance wa gone
through with the husband. He was to
be sent to the p~oOrhouse, but an intelli-
gent baiIiff got him mixed with an in
SANE patient named Larson and he was
sent 70 the asylum.
The chief physician, who knew Hill
man, soon Strengthened the case out

He learned the unfortunate mans story,

\ Land of Famine and Plenty.

While the inhabitants of south and
eastern Russia are starving, a large pro
portion of the population of eastern
Siberia and Turkestan have SO much
grain that they do not know what to do
with it. In the province of Semiret-
chinsk the peasants have enough grain
to last them for ten years, and III the
provinces of Yeneseisk, Yakutsk and
the Transbaikal the price Of wheat is
one-eighth what it is in the Nolga pro-
vinces. The best beef is being sold at
the rate of about ga. a pound, but as
there are no railways and few or no
roads in these rich portions of the EN-
rire, this superabVdant wealth cannot
be put to account.-London Tit-Bits.

HOW WOMAN USES THE BALLOT.

American men show singular Obtuse-
ness in not discovering the advantages
that would accrue to themselves it
women could vote. Almost unanimously
they oppose woman suffrage for the
ostensible reason that it would not be O
good thing for women. Woman, they
say, with delightful assumption of
tender consideration for the sex. would
lose her femininity if she had the ballot.
She would not be satisfied merely to
vote, but would enter further into the
field of politics-the dirty pool" they
would become an Office seeker and
Office holder, and otherwise make herself
an object of pity and reprOach to the
many who believe that woman should
confne her interests wholly to the home
and family. The idea seems to prevail
that the women who did not want of
fees themselves would vote as a unit
for other women who did want them.
This is where the mistake is made. 1t
is only the occasional woman who be-
the rule that she gets the solid feminine
vote. This has been shown in Kansas
municipal elections and in many in
stances in States where school suffrage
for women exists. twas demonstrated
anew, and with peculiar force, az Bloom
ington, H.. on Monday. At that cleo
tion the female voters turned out in
great force. They elected two women
as members of the School Board,
it is true, perhaps because no
men were candidates, but their
chief object was to defeat two
other women. And wiy7 Because the
two women they favored were pledged
to turn out the superintendent of the
schools, a woman who had held the posi-
ton for many years, to replace her by a
man, and to pus men in as principals. in
stead of women. The female teachers
in the schools, be it noted, were the
leaders in this movement. This is no
new phase of the feminine taste. Bar
ring the women who aspire to be super
intendents or principals themselves, fe-
male teachers almost universally favor
the appointment of men to such places
of authority. Neither is it the teachers,
as rule, who approve or desire the
els ct on OF women to school boards
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1892-04-10

Such movements are nearly always a re-
suit of pressure from other direc-
tions, frequently from women who
want to see their sex advanced"
and innoccntly think this means Of
doing it. The case of Miss Grace Dodge.
who was the first female member of the
New York city School Board, was one
of this sort. The teachers did not well
come her in the beginning, they re-
sented what they regarded as her too
active interest in their management and
methods. and ended by opposing her
with such vigor rs to defeat her re-
appointment. This preference for men
as their superior officers may show very
poor taste on the part of teachers and
others, but it is one of those stubborn
feminine peculiarlties that there is no
getting around. The point the Journal
started to make in regard to it is that it
behooves the shrewd man to encourage
female suffrage if he wants to better his
own political prospects. AS every body
knows, the real masculine Objec-
ton to equal suffrage is not SO much
that woman might deteriOrate by
seeking and holding office. but
that she might desire the Office that
men want. When it is once understood
the feminine vote will not 60 to women
as a matter of course, but to men, or to
such women as will appoint men to the
best places at disposal, then will the
able male politicians fall over each other
in their haste to pass suffrage laws and
give the dear sisters their rights"

LOUIsIANA's DEMOCRATIC RAsOALS,

There is something decidedly amusing
in the Indignation which the McEnery
Democrats of New Orleans are express
ing over tie manner in which they were
counted out in the recent primary cleo
ton. The rival candidates were Foster
and McEnery, both Democrats, but rep
resentine the lottery and anti-lottery
factions. At the primary McEnery re-
ceived a majority of 1,729, but the re-
turning board threw out 1927 votes and
gave Foster a majority of $40. A New
Orleans special to the New York Sun
says:
The storm of indignation raised by their
action has not been exceeded since the
famous count-out of Tilden by the return
ing board of 1876. and will have most IN
lurious effect on the Democratic party of
the State. The first disposition of the Nc

cision of the committee and TO Keep their

vote blank or not at all. but some say that
they will cast their ballot for Leonard, Re-
publican for Governor by way of protest.

REV. DIR. BUCKLEY. of the New York
Advocate. has a grievance against the
daily papers. He says a distinguished
missionary returning from India was on
the same steamship that brought over
Messrs. BorrOwe and Drayton. but,
though an army of reporters came on
board. tho missionary never got word
of mention. This was too bad, but there
is some defense for the reporters. 1t
is said of a happy woman that she has
no history, and a returned missionary
comes under the same head. He may
not be happy, but he is not apt to have
a story that the unregenerate public will
listen to. The Drayton- BOrrowe tale
was not thrilling. and perhaps not edi-
flying, but even the good DR.. Buckley
seems to have read it.
