Old sayings are nearly always truthful,
but they must be applied with due discre-
ton, as a woman in little store 'down
the neck" discovered to her sorrow. An
old darkey called one morning to pur-
chase pound of shot; the storekeeper
being out, his wife attempted to serve the
customer. She could not find the weights,
but being a good housekeeper she re-
membered an old saying of frequent use
in cookery-"a pint's as good as a pound
the world over"
In her dilemma she quoted that say
ing to the darkey, asking if he would be
satisfied to take pint for a pound. The
darkey, with wideawake cunning,
snapped at the chance, got his shot, paid
for it and hurried out of the store. The
woman couldn't account for the sudden
pride related to her husband her happy
idea enabling her to get along without

Wise Sayings.

Age and enthusiasm always travel in
opposite directions.
Marriage consists of five minutes at
the head of the procession, and lifetime
in the ranks.
A man never knows how to be a son
suntil he has become father.
The people pay too much attention to
what they hear over the back fence
The people who boast of their ancestors
as rule have nothing in their present
Rendition to boast about.
Work keeps d man from doing mean
Things, but there can't be enough of it to

INVESTIGATING AN ACCIDENT.
A Railroad Engineer Gets Out of Trou-
BILE for Running Too Fast.

BILE for Running Too Fast.
Supt. Warren of the Eastern Illinois
railway was telling the other evening of
a certain engineer in the employ of the
road who had been repeatedly cautioned
against running too fast. He was run
ming freight train, and on one portion
of his division there was steep hill.
His orders were to never permit his train
to go down the hill faster than fifteen
miles an hour, but it was the general be-
lief that whenever he had safe oppor-
tunity he sailed down that grade just as
fast as the wheels would turn. An in
vestigation Immediately followed and the
engineer, in railroad parance, was put
on the carpet He swore in the most :, st
not faster than fifteen miles an hour, but
that just before reaching the bottom he
lost control of the airbrake and the speed
became so great the train could not keep
the track, hence the wreck, for which he
was not responsible.
But" said his superintendent, I'VE
have {; man here, a farmer. who was ON
the hillside that day when you came
down. He stood at the edge of the clear
ing, saw you at the top and all the way
down, and he will swear that he never
saw a train going so fast in all his life,
and he is a man 60 years old. He says
that it was next to an lmposslblllty to
see the wheels. What do you say to
that?'
The engineer never hesitated.
Il know the man. I saw him the day
after the wreck and ne told the same
story to me, only there was little more
to it,
"What was that?"
"Why, he told me that it was the first
train of cars he had ever seen in all his
life, and don't think he would be very
good judge of speed.''
There was a silence in the room for a
few moments, and then the engineer got
off with sixty days suspension.-Chi-

TOO MUCH OF A QUORUM.
A Good Story of Tom Reeds Experience
Poker Player.


Probably the latest and best story on
Thomas Is. Reed had its origin a few
evenings ago at Il seance, when party
of statesmen were engaged in solving the
mysteries of straight tlushes, full housess
pairs, etc. At last there came show of
strength between the Maine congress-
man and pretty lucky opponent and
after several "raises" it seemed the part
of prudence for Mr.. Reed to "call" the
last bet made.
What have your he drawled in most
unmistakable poker parance, at the same
time exposing full hand with aces at the
top;
-Four of kind" was the answer.
1.-Two pair of kings
Evidently a sufficient number" re-
piled the man from Maine, whose mind
had drifted back to his quorum counting
experiences in Congress. There was an
outburst of laughter at this point and
Mr.. Reed proceeded to settle.
1t must be understood that when a
point is made in the House that a quorum
has not voted on any question, the speak
er proceeds to count the members present
to determine whether or not business can
proceed. Usually after the result of this
count the formula according to parla-
mentary law is for the presiding officer to
announce: Evidently sufficient num-
Der Of gentlemen are in attendance to
