Curing a Man of a Bad Habit.

There is said to be honor among thieves,
and there is certainly an abundance of Fres
masonry generally among travelling men.
But there are exceptions to every rule, and
one of the exceptions is a traveller who will
look over your shoulder while you write,
sneak your notebook and copy out your list
of customers and otherwise show that he is
not gentleman. fixed up one of these
one night splendidly. He is in the same
line as myself and had been shadowing me
for month. Finally to get rid of him
secured copy of paper published in n
town about 40 miles east and carefully
copied in my notebook the name of every
man in the list of deaths. After supper
produced packet of postal blanks and pro
ceeded to address one to each of these deni
zens in the other world, announcing that
would call two days hence.
Directly my bette noir noticed me l ex-
cused myself, and leaving my notebook
open went out for a smoke. l peeped in
through the door and saw him industrious
ly copying out that deathlist, and | took
care not to disturb him until he had got
through. He sat up half the night getting
through his old business and left by the
early morning train to get a day ahead Of
me. have oftened wondered how he got
along trying to locate all the recently de-
ceased population of H, but as carried
out my previous intention and went west

off Mr.. Peeping Tom, and glorious to re-
late when we meet now he will not speak
as we pass by.-Cor. st. Louis Globe Dem

The Passion For the Old.

1t is rather interesting fact that many
devices and contrivances that have been
ousted from the utilitarian field by the
march of progress are now employed as
means of amusement by persons who
have time to devote seriously to pleasure
seeking. Thus the spinning wheels of
our grandmothers are ITO be found con-
spicuously placed in the homes of such
Of us as had grandmothers, and the hall
clock of other days is seen in many a
palatial home. Yet our women never
spin on the wheels, and if we desire to
know the correct time we consult our
chronometers and not grapdfathers
clock.
When our ancestors desired to go on
long land journeys, they took passage on
fast 4-horse mail coach, albeit they
grumbled at the discomforts of the trip.
When they had to go by sea, they took
a ship. Today the rich at great expense
maintain coaches rs near duplicates of
the old time ''mails' as possible for long
pleasure trips, and the sailing of swift
yachts, long since left behind by steam
in the domain of usefulness, is the most
important and costlytsport Of the age.
Will it always be so2 When the devel-
opment of electricals science has been so
perfected that we go from point to point
in swift airships, will clubs of wealthy
gentlemen DO formed for the purpose of
maintaining the ancient lines of rail that
the club members and their friends may

days act as engineidrivers as the coach

light, 1t was big undertaking, The colo
mel might lose his whole command by do
ing it. At daylight we had the train all on
the road that runs to Greencastle, Pa
Then came the tug of war to see if we could
hold it. 1t was an ammunition train of
nearly 100 wagons, with six mule teams to
each wagon We took between 200 and 300
prisoners who had crawled into the wagons
to ride. One of them was an officer, an old
acquaintance of Colonel Davis. He got out
of the wagon, and after talking over old
times few minutes with the colonel said
to him, I suppose for old acquaintance
sake you will let me go to my commando
"'No, sir; you will go with me- the colo
mel replied,
"That was enough. He went.
Luck seemed to follow us all the way
through. 1t was one of the greatest feats
of the war. After the teamsters found that
they were prisoners, weren't they mad?
Mad was no name forit. They tried to stop
the train. One fellow got off from his mule
and began to unhitch the team from the
wagon. Another tried to set fire to the
straw in which the shells were packed. We
put stop to that. A cavalryman rode by
the side of every driver and told him that
he must keep his team going, for we would
shoot the first man who did not obey orders.
That quieted them.
so on we went. We had not gone u great
many miles when we heard firing in the
rear. Those in advance thought it was all
day with them, but our rear guard kept the
enemy in check. The Confederate cavalry
followed us up number of miles. The
reason they did not retake the train was
that they did not know how much force we
had and were afraid of getting too far north
lest they might be drawn into trap. So
they let us go with our prize. We kept the
train going as fast as we could and arrived
in Greencastle about 8 o'clock a. m. ON the
18th. When we arrived, the inhabitants at
first would not believe what we had done;
that we had marched from Harper's Ferry
(over 80 miles), gone through Longstreet's
corps and taken nearly 100 wagons from the
enemy in 10 hours"
1t was indeed bold exploit Forrest
never carried out one that eXcelled 1t in en-
ergy or daring.
AS reward for his pluck Davis was pro
NOTED to lead a brigade He was the y
fpiring genius of the movement, and his
success set the country north and south
agog with astonishment that the whole
garrison of Harper's Ferry did not follow
tne cavalry out.
The first cavalry battle of the Gettysburg
campaign the meeting between Stuart and
Pleasonton on the banks of the Kappa
hammock river, at Beverly Ford and Brandy
Station, June 0, 1863 cut short the career
of the bold leader of that escape. He was
instantly killed at the head of his brigade
while fighting jones' cavalry. His brigade
was in General Buford's division, and he
would doubtless have succeeded that Off
Ger on his retirement few months later
and would have been the peer of Kilpat-
rick, Torbert, Custer, Gregg and Wilson as
bold marshal of squadrons.

By all means let errand boys and dis
trict messenger boys have bicycles. The
time they consume running errands and
delivering messages increases according
to the length Of their service. A new
and inexperienced lad is usually treas
ure; the celebrity with which he runs er-
rands is surprising. But when the new

lead. If the bicycle will prevent expe-
rience from becoming positive detri-
ment, by all means let him have it.

A Grand marine phenomenon,

A beautiful marine phenomenon in the
shape of an electrical storm is recorded by
the Sunderland steamer Fulwell on her
voyage from Bremen to Baltimore. The
electrical display occurred after dark. The
most peculiar part of the occurrence was
that while the lightning flashed a winter
gale was blowing furiously, and the sea
was running very high. The storm lasted
about two hours, and the captain states
that it was the most remarkable he ever
witnessed. The ship at times seemed ablaze
fore and aft, and while no damage was
done, it was several times thought that sh.
had been struck. The very beauty of the
scene was awful. The blackness of the
night was converted into unsurpassed bril-
!iancy. Even the ocean seemed ablaze, and
the waves as they dashed upon one another
resembled tongues of fire.-Lightning.

FREELAND. PA, JULY 20, 1898.

The patriotic editor of the New

suggested to the municipal authori-
ties the propriety of displaying the
national colors from Koerty pole on
the public square of the town. The
idea was generally approved, but the
city council pleaded poverty; where
upon the editor proved that his pa
triotism was substantial by generous

Advantages of College Training.


Most Of our magazine writers state
the truth and nothing but the tzuth, but
they do not state the whole truth. The
Forum for June supplies an example of
this in an article by Professor Charles f.
Thwing on the proportion Of college bred
men among those of sufficient distinc-
ton to 9pTear in a we'll known cyclic.
pedia' of biography. He finds that of
the 10, 142 men named in the book, 6,87e
are college men, or slightly more thar
one-third. This he considers exceeding.
ly significant, but it is more apparent
than real. As well claim that colleges
make religious men because such large
proportion are clergymen.
That our colleges are the mothers of
great men goes without saying. Fools
cannot go to college If they would, and
stupid dolts without talent or ambition
would not if they could. Many college
bred men would have achieved success
without this training. Perhaps more
than few would have Hriser 10 greater
distinction if they h. never seen the in
side of a college building.
To deny that a college training is a
benefit to young man is pernicious
nonsense. But the question to consider
is whether it pays for the time and ex-
pense. College training does not create
poets, but it sweetens the poets song
1t does not make great writers or artists
or inventors, but it teaches them how to
use the greatness that is and was within
it gives them new birth and a new
life
Whether 1t pays bright young man
to spend four of the best years of his life
in a college to possess that which today
is often drug in themarket, or whether
he had best devote four years to course
Of self instruction outside college, is a
question he can best decide for himself.
But he should not forget that it is a
pretty good experiment to take a chance
upon.

Crying For Funds.

The great seats of learning in the
country are again crying for further en-
dowments. Considering the amount OF
money that has been poured into the
treasures of the more popular institu-
tions like Harvard and Yale during the
past decade, this may seem little singu-
lar, but itis not. First class colleges now
require hundreds of professors. and they
are paid better than formerly. Then the
investment Of college funds must be alb
solutely safe, and the income 50 secured
is derived from low rate of interest.
In fact, higher education has become
almost universally eleemosynary. We
question, however, whether it has any
stronger claims upon people Of wealth
than the primary education Of the young.
So long as there is child in the land
that cannot attend school owing to pow
erty. the rich can be excused from en-
downing universities.

Senator Vorhees, whose long con.

opinion valuable, takes no stock in
the talk about the extra session being
short one. Speeding of it he said

son, of West Virginia, the gentleman
who thought to stand the best chance
of being the chairman of the ways
and means committee of the house,
should Mr.. Springer not get it again,
also thinks the extra session will run
into the regular session and that the
latter will be an unusually long one.
Mr.. Wilson thinks the tariff will be
taken up just as soon as the ways
and means committee is announced
by Speaker Crisp, and it is expected
that will be Immediately after the
house goes through formality of re-
electing Mr.. Crisp speaker.

Notwithstanding all the newspaper
talk about an administration pro
gramme for the extra session of con
gress, it can be positively stated that
there will be no such thing as an ad.
ministration programme. President
Cleveland will in his message en-
deavor to make the necessity for the
repeal of The Sherman silver law per
fectly plain to congress, and in that
he will not overstep the bounds of
his constitution rights, but he has no
idea of attempting to dictate a pro-
gramme to congress. He will merely
point out what, in his judgement,
ought to be done, leaving to con-
gress to consider the ways and
means of how it shall be done, or
whether it shall be done at all. The
programme for the extra session will
be arranged by congress after it
meets and not by any single indiviual
and any attempt to outline it before
the members Of congress have an op,
portunity to consult upon it is moth
ing more or less than guesswork.

1t IS becoming more apparent that
there is to be battle of the giants,
during the coming session of congress
on the silver question. In all sections
OF the country business men and COM
mercial bodies are bestirrinp them
selves to exercise all the influence in
power to decide the question one way
Or another 1t goes without saying
that most OF these are in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman law. But we
In the east are apt to underestimate
the strength of certain elements in
the south and west, which will play
important parts in the approaching
struggle. Before any legislation can
be accomplished there will be a tre-
mendous fight in congress; such
tight as the country has not seen for
many year. In the heat of this con-
test party lines will be lost sight of.
There will be no dodging the issue.
Every man will have to show his true
colors. The result will be a new
alignment of political parties. The
TACT will become apparent to all that
the Democratic party is to unwieldy
for effective action, that it contains
certain incongruous elements, which
only serve to injure it, and which had
better be cast out entirely. Aside
from the settlement of the silver
question, the extra session will thus
be fruitful in developments which
will materially change The entire poll
tical field. In this shaking up of
parties the Democratic party will
come out stronger and healthier than
ever, even though it lose slightly in
numbers. The Republicans, on the
other hand, have nothing to gain and
much TO lose.
