The Condo cctor wou,a Not ne.,rn. :


Colonel Thomas +. Fisher tells a story
Which is q good one. Among the first
railroads built in the United States was
q little line about twenty miles in
length. In the course Of time q big
tunnel line was constructed through the
same country. The original line be.
came merely a branch. For many years
it vas run in . cheap way, with one
locomotive, one engineer and two or
three freight cars.
Finally q Aew general manager was
appointed. He had been in tho Office
but week when he sent for the one
lone conductor who had held the posi-
ton ever since the road was built.
''Iwould like to have your resigna.
tion,," said the general manager, when
the conductor appeared.
"My resignation?" inquired the con-
ductor in astonishment.
"Yes, sir; yours"
"What for, pray"
"Well, want to make some changes
and get new blood in the line" was the
general managers reply.
II won't resign" answered the con-
duutor.
"Then Twill be compelled to discharge
you, step which for your sake I had
hoped would be saved from taking"
"Young man, you will not discharge
me. I own controlling interest in the
stock of this railroad and elect the presi-
dent and board of directors shall have
you fred"
The old conductor did really own the
majority of the stock, and, as he said,
put in his own board Of directors and

About Pronunciation.

The dictionaries are not reason enough
for any ones making himself utterly
singular among his fellows. On the
same principle we in America continue
to say "skedule" instead Of making peo-
pie open their eyes by saying SCHEDULE. !"
When we are in England we may say
"tong' instead Of "tung" for "tongue," J"
but the wise American will go with all his
countrymen in such u matter when he is
at home. Very few people, either English
or American, ever say "dyuty," soon
sti.yution," ard so on, and yet that ia
undoubtedly the way We ought to pro
nounce them-n we are going strictly
by the authorities. It is better to be
idiomatic, either in writing or speaking,
than to be just right by the book.-Bos-

worsh,plnr Medicine Bottles,

An eminent lady missionary in Bur-
nah recently gave DIR. A. j. Gordon an
instructive but somewhat startling chap
ter from her experience. In one of her
tours, she said, she came upon village
where cholera was raging. Having with
her a quantity Of u famous painkiller
she went from house to house admin
istering the remedy to the invalids and
left a number of bottles to be used after
she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was
met by the head man of the community,
who cheered and delighted her by this
intelligence: "Teacher, we have como
over to your side. The medicine did us
SO much good that we have accepted
your God"
Overjoyed at this news, she was con-
Quoted to the house of her informant,
who, opening u room, showed her tho
painkiller bottles sole1nnly arranged in
a row upon a shelf, and before them the
whole company Immediately prostrated
themselves in worship.-ModernC Church.

The pawnbrokers' sales shops have held
me before their windows many and many
an hour since childhood, and today when
pause before one feel keener touch
of the impulses of youth than anything
else can bring back to me. There is much
humbug in the Bowery, but there is no
hnlnbug in what these srores display. Pa
thos and tragedy are constantly exhibited
and enacted on every block of that throb-
bing avenue. but it all seems to me as
nothing beside the tragic and pathetic
tales that are told by the goods in these
store fronts. The vanity of man is felt
by every poor stranger who is knocked
about and jostled by the crowds that
throng the pavement, but for sermon
upon vanity know no text in all Kew

just the same as merchant buys
