FOOLED THE OFFIoER.-The boy sat on the steps of the house as a policeman came around the corner. The boy would have run, but the officer approached too suddenly. Just why the boy would have run could not be stated. It seems to b, a fact in natural history. In any event tie boy sat still and waited for the policeman to come up. The policeman stopped, and the boy was sorry he had not obeyed his first impulse. However, it was too late now, and he sat trembling.
 "Is your father in the house ?" inquired knew his business.
 An inspiration came to the boy.
 "In there?" he asked, jerking his thumb over his shoulder toward the door
 "Of course, in there," said the police man, sharply.
 "No, he ain't."
 "How do you know?"
 'Cause he's someere else."
 "Come off," said the policeman. "I know he is in there. Didn't you tell me half an hour ago he would be home all morningp"
 "Yes, did, but he ain't in there, I tell you."
 "Well, I'll go in and see for myself," and the policeman walked over the boy and rang the bell.
 The boy went out into the middle of the street and waited until the door was opened.
 "Hi, there, copper" he yelled, as he started to run, "pap don't live in that house. You find out where he lives, will you, and let me know?" and the boy scooted, leaving the officer to apologize to the hired girl

Hartford Post: President Clark of the water board says of the class of men em- ployed at the water works: "We have all kinds-a large number of tramps from Texas to northern Canada and most of the stations between. Among the num- Der are those who claim to be Italian counts, German barons, graduates of the reform school, and many who have been handicapped most of their lives with g ball and chain. All are not of the ig- norant class. Among the number are college graduates, two Yale men that I know of. These men dig in the ditches along with Italian members of the MAlia and German anarchists, receiving $1.t0 a day. Yes, a days study of the new res ervoir and its builders is large study in human nature, Illustrating as many types as could be crowded into one building of hunks three tiers deep."

that the Mayor was fairly elected.

Under this ruling, Mr.. Hayens will

Although the Republicans OF. Lincoln
have heretofore been very successful in
getting the aid Of the General Assembly
in their schemes to retail control OF the

the Committee on judiciary. II Is a very
unfair measure, framed entirely for the
purpose of making il easier for the Re-

AlDRlCH.

The Providence Journal still continues
it's false statements concerning the leading
Democrats of the State because il wants
to see Senator Aldrich reelected. This il
remarkable because Aldrich is the father
Of the Mckinley bill, as Major Mckinley
himself has acknowledged.
The Journal prctends to be tariff nc.
form paper, but it is a very strange thing
TO find IL advocating the election OF AL
drich. But the paper is owned by "Ad-
miral' Rowland who is one tenth sailor
and nine-tenths dude. He has the queer
idea that he fills the big boots OF Anthony,
Danielson and Williams, and he has q
cotcrie of young nen working for him
whom he tries to rule as il they were "bc-
fore the mast and he was Captain.
Tho journal favors Aldrich. Yet it
prctends TO be in favor Of all that Aldrch
opposes. Can it explain? Will not the
election of Senator Aldrich be an endorse
ment OF the Mckinley bill? II the Jour
nal helps Aldrich, either openly or indi-
rectly, is II not endorsing that bill? Has
tia candidate of its own whom the Dem
ocrats are not kissing? Ii seems so.
The Journal desires to play doubl,
part. 1t supports Aldrich in its editorial,
and then abuseSDemocratic leaders IN It,
local columns by making insinuation,
which it knows to be false, but which il
thinks will circulate in Providence and
injurc the enemies OF Aldricb. But Il
will scarcely succeed because the Demo.
Gratis have finally discovered the doubl,
part which the Journal is playing on th,
Senatorial question.
II is easy for the kid-glove citizen wh,
control that paper to smirk In public an,
pull up their collars and cry that they ar,
"holicr than thou, but when II comes tc
