COULDN'T EAT HIS SOUP.

How His Deliberate Manner OF SPEAKING

A certain literary German whose

Hberate and who disapproyed Of i'm
petuosity of any sort under any circum-

known figure among the patrons of
this particular restaurant. as he seldom
dined anywhere else, and he generally
was served by a waiter who had be-
come used to his way of speaking; but
one day a new waiter took his order
and brought his soup. 'I can not eat
this SOUP" said the gentleman, slowly.
not looking up from his plate. after he
had summoned the waiter for the Sec

ing dish before the customer could
finish the sentence and vanished
with it. He reappeared in moment
with another supply of the same soup,
which he placed before the gentleman,
and then stood regarding him with an
anxious face, wondering what could be
the reason the soup remained untasted.

sir? What is the matter?" stammered
the unhappy waiter. who had been told
he was serving an important person.

False Charges Refuted.


the controversy that was carried on in
the Register some months ago between
Rep. M. w. Cobun and the editor of
the Register, in which Mr.. Cobun was
charged with curruptness and with
skipping" from West Virginia in order
to avoid arrest. The following letter
-refutes such charges, and we publish it
as matter of justice to Mr.. Cobun:
PH1LLIrrI. WEST VA. Jan. 9, 1892.
HON. M. w. CoBUN,a
Hoisington, Kansas.
MY DEAR SIR:-As per your request
of a recent date, have examined the
record in the chancery cause of VIM.
Hall VS. Ledrow Cobun ct al. lately
pending in the circuit court of Barbour
county. and find the following facts
in the record:
In 1879 there was an organization of
Changers at Peel Tree, this county;
they built Grange hall, with store
room IN the first story; in that store
room a general store was opened In the
fall of 1879, known as the Grange Store,
with w. w. Cobun, your brother, as
manager.
The money to purchase the original
stock of goods was procured from the
Merchants National Bank of West Vir-
ginia, at Clarksburg, upon a note of
81 500 signed first by VIM. Hall, then
by J. D. Martin. w. w. Martin, W. W.
Cobun. j. A. Young, VIM. M. Morrison,
M. W. Cobun, and it may be Byron
Love.
The money thus obtained was used
in the purchase Of the goods from j. NJ.
Pinell and P. M. Boggess, commercial
agents, in the presence of all the parties
to said note, at the residence of M. W.
Cobun, near Peel Tree, at which place
they had assembled for that business.
The store was carried on till it was
burned, in the name of W. w. Co5un
& Co.
Thus far there is no dispute.
The store was burned; there was not
money to pay note to the bank, and
here the trouble began. w. W. CObun
died and his brother Ledrew was made
| his pergonal representative.
William Hall instituted chancery
suit at March Rules, 1856, against
| Ledrew Cobun ETC., to compel payment
of said bank debt out of the estate of
said w. w. Cobun, deceased, charging
in his bill that w. W. Cobun was the
principal debtor and he, Hall and others
sureties or endorsers.
| To this bill Ledrew Cobun fled his
answer in which he denied that w. w
Cobun was the principal debtor, on the
contrary he says there was partner
ship in which all the parties to said
note were members. etc, ETC., etc.
And upon this issue, Partnership OF
no partnership" they went to proof
VIM. McKindrey, Morrison and W. W.
Cobun were dead.
! Martin, Young, Love, Hall. all o.
whom were on the note, testified thai
there was no partnership, that the stori
belonged to w. w. CobuD. and tha'
they were not in it, but that they wer'
to have their goods from said store a
reduced prices. perhaps at cost, while
other Changers were to pay as mucf
as 123 per centum for their goods
There is some dispute on this point.
John A. Windon, clerk in the stor
for some time, testified that he under
stood it to be partnership store, tina

No MILITARY commander ever had
q better disciplined, more efficient
body of men following his flag than
that which today mans any one of the
great railroad systems of the country.
Moreover, few military commands ever
comprised a larger number of men than
are employed upon any one of our
greatest railways. On the Pennsylvania
railroad, for instance, there are
employed every day $4,000 men, more
by thousands than the United States
has in it's public service, including the
army and navy; and what is said of the
Pennsylvania is true in very similar
magnitude of the New York Central,
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Erie, the
Reading and others. In fact, the
railroads of the country employ zoe. 900
men. Each year they lose 1000 of their
number in killed, and 10000 of them
are injured annually. 1t is estimated
that 8 ,OO0, 900 people depend on these
employees for living. And among
these zoe, 900 men there are probably as
many if not more of those whom
