Good Advice.

BarabOO Democrat.
Occasionally we are called upon to
chronicle the injuries received by boys
in catching onto freight and passen-
ger trains, and still it is remarkable
that more accidents do not result
when taken into consideration the ex-
tent in which the boys indulge in the
dangerous practice. On nearly every
passenger and freight train boys can
be seen jumping on or off. 1t is i'm
possible for train men to attend to
their duties and watch the boys closely
who have no business near the cars.
Parents who have at heart the welfare
of their boys should keep them away
from the cars.

Attempted Robbery.

A tramp who has been hanging
around this city for two or three days
attempted to rob young man known
as "Pop Corn" on Friday morning.
Pop Corn has been sprinkling the
streets during the summer and became
possessed Of good sized "wad" and
is doing his own banking. The rain
on Thursday night released him from
duty on Friday. He strayed out in
the rear of Mike Harty's shop and was
there set upon by the tramp who de-
handed his money. "Pop Corn" is
small, but he can deliver large full
sized blows with the rapidity of chain
lightning when the necessity Of the
situation call for anything of this kind.
1t seemed to him when the tramp de
manded his money that the neccss-
tiles" were making a loud call, and
quicker than you could say scat, the
tramp got it in the side of the head
with paralyzing effect and Immediate
~ made his escape in the direction of
the railway station. Look out for
tramps.

B~ADGRRING A

The old style of badgering a witness
has almost disappeared from many
courts; but in a Western Kansas town
it is still kept up, sometimes, however,
to the damage of the cross-examiner,
Lawyer S.. is well known for his un-
comely habits. He cuts his hair about
four times year and the rest of the
time looks decidedly ragged about the
ears. He was making a witness de-
scribe a barn that figured in his last
case:
Chow long had this barn been built9"
ooh, 1 don't know. About a year,
mabby-about nine months, p'r'aps.'
But just how Iong3 Tell the jury
how long it has been built"
"Well I don't know, exactly-quite
a while"
"Now, Mr.. B., you pass for an intel
ligent farmer and yet you can't tell,
how old this barn is, and you have
lived on the next farm for ten years.
Can you tell how old your own house
ISL Come now-tell US how old your
own house is, if you think you know"
Quick as lightning the old farmer re-
piled: Eye want to know how old my
house is, do ye? Well, it's about as old
al ye be and needs shinglin' about as
bad"
In the roar that followed the witness
stepped down and was not called back.

OUR DREAM.

We dreamed on Monday night that
we were married to one of the sweetest
and loveliest and most bewitching
maidens on this earth, and in that
union we were deliciously and most
blissfully happy. If this sweet angel
in maiden's form will guarantee that
we will be as happy when married to
her as we yer in that thrilling dream,
and if she will deposit with some re-
liable person six or seven dollars to de-
fray all expenses, we may be induced
to join the Benedictine corps, and reap
those enhancing raptures that made
our sleep seem like a big slice cut off
from the sweetest part of Elysium.-

EDIsoN's OPINION OF PRACTICAL
SPEED ON RAILWAYS.

The possible speed is to be limited
only by the problems of the cohesion
of steel in the rails and engines. I
asked Mr. Edison what, in his opinion,
was the practical speed on the horizon
of electrical locomotion and he an
swered, perhaps $50 miles an hour"
He made at Menlo Park n of the first
important experiments in electrical
railways, exhibiting one in 1882 that
carried cars 40 miles per hour. But
before we come to moving heavy trains
by electricity, to which there are seri-
GUS, though not ~insuperable, obstacles,
he believes that we snail shoot our mail

device, of telpherage construction pos

PAPER MAN.

Many men think that newspaper
men are persistent dunnera By the
way of comparison, let Is suppose a
farmer raises one thousand bushels of
wheat a year, and sells this to one
thousand persons in all parts Of the
country, a great portion of them say
ing, ct will hand you a dollar in a
short time" The farmer does not
want to be small, and says all right.
Soon the n thousand bushels are
gone, but he has nothing to show for
it, and then he realizes that he has
fooled away his whole crop, and its
value is due to him in a thousand little
driblets, consequently he is seriously
embarrassed in his business, because
his debtors, each owing him one dollar,
treat it as a small matter and think it
would not help much. Continue this
kind of business year in and year out

A few years ago, in a fit of economy,
Our famous Massachusetts, Historical
Society screwed up its library and
other Offices by some fifteen feet, built
in the space underneath, and rented it
to the city of Boston. This was all very
well for the treasurer; but for those of
us who had passed sixty years, and
had to climb up some twenty more
iron stairs whenever we wanted to
look at an old pamphlet in the library,
1T was not so great a benefaction.

was on trial before the Justice of the

But you can't hang a man for beat
