A Good Cheese.

How true it is that fame and fortune
both hinge on some trivial circumstance!
The most successful artist at the annual
exhibition of the French salon one year
was a young gentleman named Baldwin
Sewers.
Mr.. Sewers particular line is the delin-
cation OF still life, and SO ne painted a
cheese.
After At was hung some malicious per-
son slipped into the gallery the night be-
fore the exhibition and cut round hole in
the canvas, completely removing the
cheese. When tho examining committee
were on their rounds, they came to the de-
faced picture and angrily sent for the art
ist to give an explanation. An ordinary
individual would have been overcome with
despair at the outrage Not SO Mr. Sewers.
When the chairman said sternly:
"Where is tho cheesep" he responded
calmly
"Alas, gentlemen! l perceive 1 have
painted IL with too great fidelity. The
mice have eaten it. F"
They awarded him the first prize.-New
York Sun.

Three country "darkios" came TO the
city the other day and stopped In at res
taurant on Seventh street, near Grayson, TO
get something to eat. The proprietor OF
the place was in a waggish mood, and he
decided to have some fun at the expense Of
the country visitors. A large Ice chest
stood at one end of the counter. II had
glass DOORS through which beefsteak,
vegetables and fruit could be plainly seen.
At the bottom Of the chest was about an
inch Of water which came from the melt
ing of the ice above A rubber hose was In
front OF the chest to lead of the wnter
when 1t reached q certain height But be-
hind the chest was another pipe, connected
with a hydrant to be used to wash out
the chest when needed. The proprietor OF
the restaurant told the colored men he
would give them $5 If they would drink
all the water that remained in the bottom
Of the chest. They jumped at the PROPOSE
tion when they had examined the chest
and saw that there was only about O gal
lon of water there. The smallest OF the
three went for the water first He lay
down on the floor and put the end OF the
hose In his mouth and drank and drank
until his eyes bulged and he looked weak
When he could drink no longer, he arose
and looked into the chest. 1t did not ap-
pear that the water had receded from the
sides particle He concluded that he had
not drunk as much as he thought he had,
and he tried it again. Each of the three
colored men tried this experiment three
times, and it did not seem that any of the
water had gone out of the chest-in fact,
as one of the colored gentlemen exclaimed
ode watah am certainly risin"
This was true. The proprietor's waiter
had turned on the hydrant faucet lightly
when the men began drinking. Louis

Pullman should Foot the Bill.

Says the Racine Times: 1.-The ILL
nois house is showing some glimmer
of sense in handling the national
guard question, and does not pro-
pose to lay war tax upon the peo-
pie of that state to support the
militia. As their principal work is
in protecting such men as Pullman,
let that kind of men chip in literally
and pay for it. They can make up
the amount thus expended by cut
ting down the wages of their en-
ployes."
1--WE 90 not understand the Times
to insinuate that the militia should
not be paid" says the Freeport Bull
etin. The troops were called out
by the state authorities aud should
receive just compensation for their
services. We agree with the Times
in its suggestion that such men as
Pullman, whose property was pro-
tected and whose arbitrary and
niggardly dealings with his men
was the cause of the strike,
should in some way, be re-
quired to pay the major part of the
expenses.
1T is to be regretted that there
is no law in existence to reach
Pullman in the premises. He has
amassed a fortune. it is claimed. ag-
gregating from s36.000.O0O to SOL
000.O00. This was accomplished
largely by paving many of his men
starvation wages. II reports be true,
this same man had S250,O 900 to con-
tribute to the republican campaign
fund last fall. but not one cent addi-
tional wages for his destitute en-
p!oves. The legislature should pro-
vide means for the payment of the
militia who were innocent parties to
the affair. and it should legislate also,
il possible. for the protection of the
laboring man in his rights against
the cold-hearted capitalist. When
the laboring men are properly treated
there will be no cause for strikes.
They simply demand their rights and
they should have them.

"a lawyer in a court room may call a
man a liar, scoundrel. villain or thief,
and no one make a complaint when
court adjourns. If a newspaper
prints such reflection on any mans
character, there is libel suit or a

to the fact that people believe what
