THAT TROUBLESOME BABY.


How Woman's Pet Annoyed All the Pas
sengers On the Train.
She had shrill young voice that per-
vaded the whole car, and when she
spoke to the infantile darling at her
side she stopped over into baby talk
that made all the other passengers grit
their teeth and clutch the plush backs
of the seats in front. The car was full,
and the fond young guardian of infancy
and innocence occupied the first seat.
Back to back with that was the seat
that faced the stove. and on this unde.
sirable spot sat thin, old man, with
three satchels and chin whiskers. There
was lull for a few miles, and the pas
sengers began to relax their muscles
and breathe freer, when the fusilade
suddenly began again.
Sleepy, little dirl? Oh, so seepy?"
No response.
"Was 90 mammals wittle yam? Mann
mas wittle yammy yam? Look at mel
Oh, you bad. Yves 90 mammals aaughty
bad?"
Three slaps.
''Oh, you bad, precious, little sing.
Mammals Daisy Ducktums, her ownie
totty trots. Kissum me! Do you hear?
Kissum me!''
There were beads of perspiration on
the man with the chin whislsers, and
when the conductor opened the car
door he gave convulsive SILVER that
knocked down the coal shovel.
Conductor" he whispered, ''you
haven't come too soon"
"Why?"
I'm desperate man"
'"roo hot?" asked the conductor,
soothinglv. opening the stove door.
"Hot? Man, it's that woman and
baby back of me. It's the baby twad-
die. / tell you l can't stand it. I've
raised nine young ones myself out in
Ioway, and l didn't raise 'em on that.
Git the woman anything she wants.
Git her house and lot. I'll chip in,
but keep her quiet. If you don't con-
ductor. I'll brain that baby with tins
yaller sample case. Hear? I'm des-
prit!'
The conductor didn't reply. He
leaned over to the young woman and
said:

the baggage car. "-Elmira Telegram.

Then Alice told him of her reverses
and Successes little. only a little,
for she was a wise woman-of her
heartaches and WEAKNESS, and then Of
Mr.. Browne.
THAT is all past" he said; 'espe-
cially Mr.. Browne You will teach mu.

DO you know" she said, that this
is Valentines day-if we are not too
old TO speak the name of that saint of
sentiment"
$50 it is" he said; land we are not
too old. No one, no trO. are old who
are as happy as we this hour" Then
he reached up and took the scrap
pinned above her desk and read:
This day for all that is good and
fair. 1t is too dear, with all its
hopes and invitations, to waste a mo-
ment on the bitter yesterdays To-
morrow is a new day. We will begin
it well and serenely and with too high
a spirit 10 be numbered with our old
sorrows and regrets. l agree with the
wise man who said that and we will
both pay our vows at the shrine of the
sweet saint of to-day hereafter Won't

Then some friends dropped in, and
after little Alice lighted the tiny gas
stove behind the gay screen and soon
there was a singing kettle and dainty
little feast, which the friends pro-
nounced just lovely, but which they
two Only knew was the feast of be-
trothal.
Then they asked Alice for a song.
and this is what she sang:
found ii to-day in an unused drawer
This treasured sweet OF a long ago
With arrows flying and roses abiow,
Loves fond and fitting ambassador.
Twas bonny lad who sent il TO me-
Loves fond and fitting ambassador
With symbol and sign and metaphor,
And was glad as a maid could be.
Now we sit In the twilights fading glow
Shade and shine in our lives have met
But he loved me then and he loves me yet
And we say, as we dream OF the long ago
That IL once again sweet youth were mine,
And he were as bonny as he was then,
should choose him from the world OF men,
And he would choose me for his valentine.

Some curlous Punlshment..

During the time of Richard l., and by
the advice and consent of that mon
arch, the British parliament promul-
gated some striking original codes for
the maintenance of order in his ma es-
TVS fleet. Thus. if any seaman killed
another on shipboard he was to be
bound face to face with his victim by
means of stout thongs "of not less than
three-ply," the living and dead bundle
to be thrown overheard altogether. Any
man who MANNED another, the same
having been done with malice intent,
was ordered to be served in like man
ner as his victim. One section of this
law read as follows: "He who draws
bloude from another by willful blow
struck, be that blow struck with
weapon or with hee's hand only, must
lose the hand with which the wound
was inflicted; hand blow that causes
no bloude to flow must be punished by
ducling the offender thrice. Chicago

congress may pause in its mad career
and modify it's course. 1t is not to be
hoped that the Democracy will let the
tariff alone and permit the business of
the country to revive under the con-
ditions of its greatest prosperity, but it
is not an idle hope that rousing ma
jority in Ohio for the Republican prin-
ciple Of protection will prevent full
fillment Of the threat OF the Demo-
cratic platform to substitute for pro-
lection tariff for revenue only.
The Democratic politicians at Wash
ington who are watching this falls
campaigns very closely are not conceal
ing the utter hopelessness of their
cause in Ohio, Massachusetts, and Iowa.
and the nomination of Maynard and
the turning down of De Lancey NicoIl
and Bourke Cochran in New York have
caused some OF them to regard even
that stronghold as doubtful. AS one of
them expressed it, the party has not
been so demoralized since the war.
As rule there is little logic in con-
Quoting state campaigns Of national
issues, but circumstances have raised
up an exception this fall. The people
are anxious to express their opinion of
the 'change" for which a majority of
them voted last fall. Their voice will
WELD a salutary influence upon the re-
representatives. of the party in power and
have wholesome effect upon the con-
gressional elections next fall.
The returns of the elections to be held
one week from next Tuesday will tell a
most Interesting story.

NEXT MONTHS ELECTIONS.

Gov. McKinley's progress through
Ohio is in the nature of a triumphal
tour. His victory is conceded in ad-
vance and the only question is, What
shall the majority be? At every viii
lage he addresses crowds-crowds often
larger than the entire population of the
town, for the surrounding country
turns out in force to hear him. This is
especially true of the manufacturing
districts for obvious reasons. Men who
are out of work have plenty of leisure
to listen to political speaking and just
now they are especially willing to hear
the arguments OF the party in opposi-
ton to the one in power.
The campaign is being waged on ma
tional issues strictly and for this reason
the result will be significant and not
without effect upon the Democratic
majority in congress. If the people of
Ohio are outspoken and emphatic in
their condemnation of free trade, wild
cat bank currency and the destruction
of national safeguards to federal cleo
tions, even so wild and reckless an az
gregation as the Democratic majority in
