THE BOYCOTT SPREADING.
Engineers and Firemen are Refus-
ing to Work.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The Pullman
boycott is gradually spreading, and
each hour the area covered by it
widens. There is little change to
be noted with respect to the roads
already reported as in the trouble.
Few OF them are struggling to
move pass engers, but freight traffic
is practically at an end. The
Western Indiana terminal, over
which the Grand Trunk, Chicago
and Erie, Wabash, Eastern Illinois,
Santa Fee and Monon roads, enter
the city are again in trouble. The
engineers and firemen are begin
ming to refuse to work with
green hands, and the Railway
managers themselves are not very
anxious to force the fighting. They
are exceedingly fearful of precipi-
tating battle on the fourth of
July and are playing the waiting
game. They are making no serious
effort to move their trains before
Thursday morning.
All engineers, flrem en-, brake
men and trackmen of the Nickel
Plate road at Chicago, struck with
out warning today, leaving a
whole train load Of passengers
from the east at Stony Island
station, almost in sight Of their
destination.
Today for the first time in the
history Of the stock yards, not
single steer, not sheep, not soli-
tary hog, arrived by rail at the
Union Stock yards and shipments
were almost equally at stand
still.

Upright Burial.

Thomas Cook, who was a governor OF
the Bank Of England from 1897 to 1880,
and who had formerly been merchant
residing in Constantinople died at Stoke
Rewington, Aug 10, 1893, and by his di-
rections his body was carried to Morden
college, Blackheath, of which he was q
trustee. 1t was taken out of the coffin
and buried in a winding sheet upright in
the ground, according to the eastern GUS
tom. Ben Jonson was buried at Westmin-
ster in an upright position. Possibly this
may have been on account of the large fee
demanded for full size grave. 1t was for
a long time supposed that the story was
invented to account for the smallness Of
the gravestone, but on the grave being
opened some years since the dramatist's
remains were discovered in the attitude
indicated by tradition, The following
quotation from Hearne's collection of
Antiquarian Discourses" (vol. 1, p. 912)
shows that the upright position of burial
was anciently adopted in the case of cap
tains in the army:
"Fnr them above the grounde buryed, /
have by tradition heard, that when anye
notable captayne dyed in battle or campe,
the souldyers used to take his bodye and
settle him Oh his feet uprighte, and put his
launce or pike into his hand, and then
his fellowe souldyers did travell and ev-
erye man bringe so much earthe and laye
about him as should cover him, and mount
up to cover the top of his pike. West

A Hobby For Walking Sticks.

A cel ain wealthy Hungarian magnate
had collection of 366 walking sticks, all
of different styles and patterns, which
stood arranged in elegant cases specially
designed for the purpose, each stick occu-
plying its proper place according to the
days of the year. Each day when he walk
ed out the count took with him the cane
appointed for the day, and never any other.
No. 500 was appropriated to the Goth
of February in leap year. This nobleman,
however, showed a marked preference for
a certain number of his sticks, such as re-
called pleasant memories or were especial
ly magnificent. By special favor these
and poor 1865, which could properly be
brought out only once in four years-were
occasionally permitted to take an airing,
the count instructing his valet to go out
for walk, taking one or other of these
tavorite canes with him.-Exchange.

A LITTLE CHILD.

Ipaced one day along the dusty street
With heavy heart and inattentive mind,
When suddenly, with tiny, pattering feet,
A little child came softly up behind.
BE joined me, and we walked on side by side.
Some spell of silence could not define
Was on us. Then, with blue eyes opened wide,
He looked at me and placed his hand in mine.
A baby's hand, and yet so firm and strong,
1t held my tired one with kindly grasp,
And as we walked still silently along
Ny heavy heart found healing in that clasp.
What sweet, mysterious influence led him
there
cannot tell, but thus 1t seemed to me
His guardian angel guided him to share
My burden with unconscious sympathy.
Unconscious. for as yet his tender mind
Had never learned that love is kin to pain.
And this is sympathy, whose links can bind
Their heart to heart as with golden chain.
He needed naught of mine; he would not miss
Me when we parted, nor would understand
Ny thanks, but on his brow left q kiss
And thanked God for the kindly baby hand

A Bank Inciden..

A well known contractor walked into q
bank in this city the other day to cash a
check for $40. The paying teller looked at
the check for few minutes, then counted
out $500 and handed it to the contractor,
who, although he noticed the error, said
not a word, but rolled up the bills and
wadded them down into his pocket. This
happened in the morning, and about Q
O'Clock the same afternoon, Derore the
officials of the bank had an opportunity
to discover the error, the contractor walk
ed into the Office of the president of the
bank.
"Is this bank responsible for the errors
of its clerks2" he asked the president.
eff it can be proved that any of our
clerks have erred" replied the president
in very chilly manner, "we will make
the correction"
"Well, nobody saw this error made but
myself" continued the contractor, land
my word ought to be sufficient proof,
think"
~ am sorry, SIR" said the bank presi-
dent, "but we shall have to have addi-
tional proof. We require this in order to
protect ourselves; that is all
Every well, sir, !" replied the contractor
rising to leave. 81 am sorry cannot fur
nish what you demand. The error re-
ferred to was the payment of $500 for a
check that called for only $40; but, as no
one saw me receive the extra $3.50, sup
pose you will not want to correct the mis-
take Good day, SIR"
"Hold on Come back' shouted the
bank president, who by this time was very
wide awake to the abyss to which he had
been led
The matter was soon adjusted satisfac-
torily, and now when any person reports
an error at that bank the first question
asked is, "In whose favorP" Washing

Patience is the truest kind of courage.
Ask old soldiers, who have seen real war,
and they will tell you that the bravest
men, the men who endured best, not in
mere fighting, but in standing still for
hours, to be moved down by cannon shot;
who were most cheerful and patient in
shipwreck and starvation and defeat-all
those things ten times worse than fighting
ask old soldiers, Isay, and they will tell
you that the men who showed best in
such miseries were generally the stillest,
meekest men in the whole regiment. That
is true fortitude; that is Christ's image
the meekest of men, and the bravest too.
