TRAVELLING IN INDIA.

luggage.
We went along gayly enough, but
the shades of night were creeping on,
and we had forty miles to go.
Fanny was much amused at the man
blowing his horn, and all the funny
noises he made to make the bullocks
go faster
Bump! bump! oh, what has hap
pened! | screamed; Fanny laughed
the bullocks had run us down a bank
and bumped us up against tree
After a bit we tried to sleep, but dnd-
ing the bullocks going at such pace
called to the driver to stop Getting
no answer, looked out No one was
on the box seat, and the bulloclSs were
tearing madly on. The driver had
gone to sleep and fallen off. At last
the bullocks stopped, and the driver
appeared much bruised and out of
breath. Then our wheels got locked
in another cart; but at last, about
three in the morning, we came to the
rest-house at the foot of the hills.
There we had tea and put some warm
clothes on. We found numbers of ma
tives, all waiting with our chairs fas-
tened to bamboos, to carry us and our
luggage up the ghaut.
How still it was! Not sound was
to be heard and the quiet stars were
twinkling overhead.
The coolies told us that one of their
number had been asleep, wrapped in
his white cloth, and cheetah had
just crept out of the wood and bitten
off his arm. Poor man!-Mrs. =. f

YOUNGEST CONDUCTOR.
Thirteen-Year-Old John Barnum Runs a
Train in Oregon.

Thirteen-Year-Old John Barnum Runs a
Train in Oregon.
John c. Barnum is the youngest rail
road conductor in the world. lie is
thirteen years old. lie was born in
New York, but has resided in Oregon
for the past nine years. His home is
in Medford, Jackson county, on the
Southern Pacific. On January 90, 1898,
his father leased the Rogue River Val
ley railroad, which runs from Medford
to Jacksonville, a distance of five miles.
and as its revenues are light he took
charge of the engine and placed his son
on the train as conductor. lie wears
the conventional cap and uniform, with
lettered brass buttons, and carries a
punch.
Conductor Barnum likes his work,
and says that he gets along nicely ex-
cept with some of the very smart
drummers, who are often on his train,
and who guy him about his inability
to handle their heavy baggage. He
had an amusing experience with big
fellow not long ago, but came out
ahead and earned the hearty applause
of trainload of people. The big fell
low thought it would be smart to play
n trick on the little conductor before
the crowd and when called on for his
fare said he had lost his ticket and
vas out of money.
Johnny knew better, but told the
smart party that he must pay his fare
or get off. This was sneered at, and
the conductor passed on, while his
would-be deadhead snicllered over the
| joke. Soon afterward the conductor
slipped up behind the fellow, seized
his hat and put it in the express chest
in the baggage compartment, calmly
locking the chest. The big drummer
followed him and demanded the hat.
but was quietly informed that it would
be held until he paid his fare. Before
the train reached it's destination the
fare was paid and the hat surrendered
to its owner, who snealsed away amid
the jeers of the crowd.
He fills his position with dignity
and precision beyond his diminutive
proportions, and, as the danger on this
road from collision is confined to an
occasional brush with the hind quar-
ters of COW, our little conductors re-
sponsibilities are not more exacting
than his abilities.

TRAVELLING ININDIA.



How hot 1t was in the plains!
The month was April, and in south
ern India that is one of our hottest
months. My little girl, Fanny, looked
SO white that | determined to take her
to the hills and an account of our
Journey there will amuse many a little
child.
First we went in the train, and that
was all very nice. When we reached
the station (the nearest to the hills)
g bath and breakfast did us good.
Fanny was quite longing for our
next start in the transit, which is a
long cart on two wheels, covered with
mating. First we had a lot of straw
put in and then our mattress and pill
lows, with bottle of water and tin
of biscuits for Fanny. Then in we

Tom Johnson's great speech in con
gress recently has brought forth
praise from every part of the country,
Republican as well as Democratic
papers join in applauding the courage
OF the distinguished single taxer.
The Republicans are proud of his eff
fort, not because they believe in free
trade, but because he was brave
enough to stand up before the whole
world and declare himself unalterably
opposed to every species and form of
protection. He did not quibble with
words. He came out boldly and un-
equiyocally for absolute free trade,
and in few words told how he would
abolish protection by simply selling
the custom houses and revenue
cutters.

Among the masses of the people
the income tax is the most popular
measure low before congress. If the
Democrats of the senate do their
duty, they will not let this feature Of
the tariff bill be interfered with.
They should be prepared to hear all
manner of Misrepresentation, The
enemies of the bill are desperate, and
they will leave nothing undone to
accomplish its defeat.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-02-08

The passage Of the Wilson bill in
the house is signal victory for those
Democrats who have devoted their
best energies to the cause of tariff
reform. 1t is now apparent that it
was wise to incorporate the income
tax in the tarit' bill instead of bring
ing it up as a separate measure. 1t
is the only form of direct taxation
that can be pushed forward at pre-
sent with safety, and by taking the
place Of the indirect tariff tax it will
give renewed courage to those who
are advocating a reformation in the
methods of taxation.

Had Gentleman jim" Corbett
stuck to his desk in that California
bank he would probably be today a
clerk at $40 week. But he was not
built for fnanciering on so small a
scale. For two exhibitions of the art
of self-defense, in neither of which he
received scratch, Corbett was paid
over $4,000. He now has an offer of
$1,000 per week to play baseball, and
declares that he can gather in 500
900 or $4,000 year from his dram
atized tistic performance. 1t is
small wonder that Corbett is elevated
to the pinnacle of glory by the mass
OF mankind who worship success, re-
gardless of the field in which it is
achieved.
