AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
And When 1t Was All Over the Station
Agent Mended Things.

And wh,.n 1t Was All Over the Station
Agent Mended Things.
At way station on the Louisville and
Nashville one winter the station keeper
had an exciting time. It was midnight,
and the station being in deserted part
OF the country had been left by the loaf
ers. 1t began to rain. The station keeper
was not sleepy and determined to sit I'D
Q greater part Of the night. especially as
he had an unusual sum Of money in his
cash drawer, and he felt uneasy about it,
Robberies of stations and farmhouses
down the line had been frequent. So he
settled himself down to vigil. As he
felt hungry he took can of cove oysters
down from the shelf and set it in the
stove. A moment afterward there was
knock at the door, and he admitted a
cold, drenched tramp, whom he allowed
to lie down by the fire. Just then train
came around the bend, and the station
agent stepped outside to display the 60
ahead signal. He felt distrustful of the
tramp and feared that he would fool
with the money drawer AS the train
passed he hurried into the room and had
scarcely opened the door and seen the
tramp standing by the stove with some
thing slistening in his hand. when there
Wa, report, and the agent felt sting
ing sensation over his eye.
Although blinded with blood from the
wound, he drew his pistol and fired five
times into the room. He then Ga a,hed
round to the rear of the station and hid
under the platform. After an hours
time he crawled ont, resigned to the loss
OF his money and thankful that he had
escaped with his life. The room was
dark; the fire was out. The tramp had
evidently escaped with his booty. Sor.
rowfully the agent lit match, but
instantly dropped it when startling
sight met his eyes. He lit another one,
found candle and gazed about at the
scene of desolation.
The lamp had been shattered by a
bullet. A cheese had been perforated
with two bullets. The room was filled
with smoke from the stovepipe, which
fourth bullet had perforated. Strangest
of all, the room was filed with cinders,
and oysters frescoed everything. Oys-
tiers, oysters, oysters, cove oysters. The
agent gasped and realized it all. The
can had remained in the stove too long,
and being sealed up had exploded from
the steam when the tramp poked the
fire. OF course the tramp skipped when
the shooting commenced. The cash
drawer was intact. \ piece of tin was
found near the door, where it had re-
coiled off the agents face. The agent
spent the remainder of the night in |
the stove door.-Louisyille !

WEIGHING MILK.

A Practice Equal ip Value to Whole
Library of Dairy Books.
For years 1 have weighed the milk
of every cow at every milking, says
dairyman. A spring balance hangs on
the platform behind the cows. and as
a COW is MIXED the pail is hung on the
scale and the weight noted; the pals
weigh two and half pounds each, and
this is deducted and the weight of the
milk is marked on paper block which
bangs on the wall with a pencil hang
ing by a string near it. Each cow has
a mum Der and under this is marked the
column of weights of milk. Each week,
on Saturday evening, the sheet is
taken to the dairy room and fled
away, after having been copied in the
milk book in which every COW has a
page. Thus at glance may be seen
precisely what each COW is doing and
if any unusual change occurs in the
yield the cause for it is sought for
This is equal in value to whole IL
brary of dairy books. 1t tells exactly
the value of different feeds; the in
jury from storm; the effect of cold;
the result of any disturbance of a cow,
or change of mixer; and one cannot
fail to make inquiry or take notice in
regard to any falling off or increase in
milk, because it is brought SO close to
his attention

TARIFF REFORM AND TRUSTS.
The Outlook for Combines Is Anything
But Encouraging.

The Outlook for Combines Is Anything
But Encouraging.
In the Chicago Tribune we lind IN one
column a vigorous denunciation of 1.-The
diabolical trust ombines." and in an
other this paragraph:
within the last few weeks there has been q
decline of thirty cents on the dollar in
sugar stocks, thirty-five in whisky, fifteen in
lead and cordage, and rather extensive break
in some other trust stocks The question is
asked: What is to become of the so-called in
dustrials? The people who have money to in
vest speculatively have lost confidence IN
them. and the bankers look aSkance when
asked to loan money those stocks as Secur-
ity, even at reduced prices This in face OF re-
ports, true false, that profits continue
large, and the rate of income obtained from the
stock IS generally supposed to be pretty good
indication of its selling value in the market
It must be that there is a widespread fear OF
competition by outside concerns attracted by
the reported profits, an idea that legislation
will at no distant day render 1t impossible to
keep up their uefarious organizations, or both
Probably the latter consideration is the most
effective"
''Within the last few weeks" covers
the period of the Inauguration OF
President Cleveland. Within that
time the reorganization of the govern
ment has proceeded in a manner salts
factory to the people. The appoint
ment of Messrs. Carlisle, Gresham and
Morton, all ardent and we1l-informed
tariff reformers, indicates that a new
spirit is to dominate all the depart
mentS.
Tariff reform is not a measure which
can stand by itself; to it must be joined
economy in public expenditures, oppo-
sition to paternalism, with a vigoro us
and intelligent. an honorable and self
,-1ls -l,sa NJ, SC he IA
possible assurance of peace and pros
perity.
Naturally the outlook for trusts and
combines is anything but encouraging.
A trust is formed to limit domestic
competition, but what is the sense of
limiting domestic competition when q
reduction of the tariff will increase
foreign competition?
Trusts flourish most when the law,
the tariff law, shuts out all foreign
interlopers. "Protected'' on that side,
the monopolists organize a trust to con-
troll competition and advance prices at
home.
These so-called industrial stocks are
in fact trust stocks, stocks in compa-
n les having monopolies more or less
complete. The assurance that the
democratic party intends to reform the
tariff not little bit here, and a little
bit elsewhere, but to reform it alto
gether, naturally does more to depress
the price of trust stocks than dozen
antitrust bills like that drawn by Sen
ator Sherman.
The decline in the price of trust
stocks marks the advance in the pros
perity of the people.-Louisville Cour-
er-Journal
