They Got Lower Berths.

There is a de sision and energy about Eng.
lishmen sometimes which arouses admira-
ton, says the Los Angeles Herald: A case
In point occurred on Monday. Two men,
whose clothes, pipes, Inonocles, and accent.
for iblv announced their nationality, called
at the ticket ONCE OF the Southern Pacific
railroad and asked for two lower berths on
the train to san Francisco.
They are all gone. You can have uppers,
though" was the response.
"Oh, no; dOncher know me friend is i'll, and
he can't go unless he has lower berth. He
must have one, doncher know"
The agent was sorry, but as he only had up
per berths, he could do nothing Then the
spoke man insisted on seeing Mr. Crawley,
and that Official again explained the absence
of any lower berth, only to receive the reply:
'Aw, yes; but we must have lower doncher
know"
IAN right. If you must, you must" an.
swered the official, They will cost you just
1863. We have an extra car here and can put
lin for you at that figure, II upper berths are
not good enough"
"Aw. Yes thanks awfully."
They pal the m ney, the empty Pullman
was coupled on to the train, and the toys al
the depot say that Lefore the cars left the
Englishman had made the porter make vi
every berth in the car. 1hsy said they hac
paid for each of the sections and they pro
posed to come as near as possible to getting
their money worth.

A Rate War Probable.

1t is not yet definitely decided whether
or not the Southern Steamship and Rail
way Association will go to pieces. That
question will be settled in all probability,
at the meeting of the association which
takes place in New York on March 10.
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the association
would be hurtful rather than helpful to
the south, for the reason that it would:re-
suit in great uncertainty as to rates, and
uncertainty in that respect is always dam
aging to business. Shippers want stable
and reasonable rates. With such rates
they know the basis upon which they
must do business, and they can make
future contracts without fear that they
will suffer loss from higher freight rates
than they expected.
II the association should be broken up
it is almost certain that there would be
rate war, which would not last, of
course, very long, because the roads are
not in a financial condition to stand heavy
losses. The stronger roads might sue
coed in injuring the weaker ones, but
they would not be the gamers to any
considerable extent by bringing about
such condition of affairs.
MIR. Stahlman, the president of the as
ISOLATION, has refused to make public the
letter of Mr.. Smith, the president of
the Louisville and Nashville, announcing
his withdrawal from the association and
giving his reasons for doing so. 1t seems
to be understood, however, that his main
reason is that some of the roads of the as
sociation have not lived up to their agree
ment. While pretending to maintain
rates they have been cutting them, it is
alleged, and have injured the Louisville
and Nashville by doing so.
1t is very difficult matter to prove
that road is cutting rates, although the
fact that freights are drawn from the
usual traffic channels is pretty good proof
that rates are being cut. The associat on
evidently has not been as earnest and dill
gent as it should be in finding out who of
the mem bers Of the association violate its
rules, and inhicting upon them the
punishment they deserve The guilty
ones would not relish rate war. 1t
would cause them to lose a great deal
more than they have gained by cutting
AdLSo III NlOIdUIOu OF lNG ASSOCIATION S
rules. If there should be a rate war. and
they should be seriously crippled. they
would get very little sympathy. 1t would
be well understood that they brought on
the war by their dishonest practices and
are therefore entitled to no sympathy.
1t is reported that a decided reaction in
public sentiment in New York on the
Erastus Wiman case has set in since ex-
Secretary Tracy made statement in his
clients behalf the other day, and there
are now large number of persons who
believe that Mr., Wiman's prosecution was
not inspired wholly by sense of public
duty Gen. Tracy went so far in his state
ment as 10 say that the alleged forgeries
of which Mr.. Wiman is charged are not,
in law, forgerics at all, but that they
were simply an exchange of credits by
which no third party was injured" If
there was, or is, secret animus in the
prosecution. however, the fact has not yet
been brought out.

Saws Grant Was Lazy.

H. H. Eohlsaat tells the Chicago Record
this story Of his only meeting with Gen. U. S.
Grant: One day when he was seven years old
he rode into Galena with his father on a load
OF garden produce. They drove to the market
square My father had received from Mr..
Grant an order for basket of vegetables. -
said Mr.. hohlsaat He told me to take the
basket over to Grants hide store. I went
over there. and remember distinctly that
the hides and the rolls of leather made very
bad smell. When l walked into the store 1
saw man tipped back In chair with his feet
on a stack OF hides. He was smoking cigar
and rea ling a newspaper. went up to him
and asked him il he was Mr. Grant. He looked
around and nodded his head. Then he told
me to put the basket over by the counter.
when 1 was going home with my father 1
told MIN that Mr.. Grant must be lazy man.
The one impression l receiy ed was that he
must be poor business man, so indolent and
Indifferent did he seem as he sat tipped back
there smoking his cigar"

monkevinR with Nature.

An agent from the city was trying TO sell
the grocer a new seH-winding clock, says the
indianapolis Journal. There was a small
storage battery connected with it, and it was
intended that the battery should be kept in
operation by means OF a small windmill
placed on the roof Of the house. The agent
had about persuaded the grocer TO buy when
the man with the ginger beard, who had been
watching the transaction with the deep inter
est that comes so natural to a man with
plenty OF spare time on his hands Clipped in.
Sometimes II paws to monkey with Nature

tered the postoffice at this place last
night and secured goodly amount of
booty. 1t Is supposed to be the work of
two men, as the tools which were used
were taken from Cobb's wagon chop. In
the north end of town, and the tracks of
two men were traced from that place to
the pos,office. The entrance was effec ted
by cutting hole in a pane of glass in
the back door aud turning the key, which
was ON the inside. The safe was drilled
into and opened, and the entire contents
were taken. The safe contained $406 IN
cash, and 1902 40 in stamps. so cents In
a registered letter, money order blanks,
some private notes and county variants.
The booty was taken or the thieves to
the rear of the cou, ty jail, wnere 1t was
sorted over and the blanks, notes and
warrants left behind, where they were
found BY the postmaster this morning.
