She Wilfed Him.

There is one patron of the North
Pennsylvania street line who has the
reputation of being most dreadfully dis
agreeable. The conductors say he is a
kicker, and the neighbors say he has the
dyspepsia. Anyway he generally creates
a scene wherever he goes, but since q
recent experience he is a little particu-
lar about his conduct ON a street car.
He boarded a crowded car at-well,
some street between Ohio and Seventh.
The aisle was filled with persons hold
ing ON to the straps. He stood for Sec
ond in the doorway and glowered at
those within. The conductor placed his
hand on the shoulder of the bad tenn
pered man and said:
Pass on, please, and don't stand in
the doorway!'
The disagreeable man turned his head
bit and snapped in return:
Don't get gay. Stop your pushing,
or I'll report
The unfortunate man, while making
this speech to the conductor, did not OBJ
serve that woman was attempting to
pass out. Like many others, he thought
the car had stopped for him alone. But
his Grabbed remarks were cut short by
an energetic shove from the lady passen-
ger. She thought his cutting remarks
were aimed at her, and in high pitched
voice she replied:
"You are insulting, sir, and very IN
gentlemanly. Unjust get out, and if you
are not enough of q gentleman to allow
mo to pass shall do some reporting E"
The bad tempered man tried to explain
and apologize, but the woman brushed
past him. All the passengers heard the
remarks and witnessed the incident, and
the disagreeable man looked truly
ashamed. indianapolis Journal.

He Was More Than Thirty When His First
Volume Was Published.
Toward the end of 1886 be took up
his abode in Cambridge, where he was
eo reside for the rest of his life-for As
years. He was made to feel at home in
the society of the scholars who cluster
ed about Harvard, then almost the sole
center of culture in the country. His
work for the college was not so exact
ing that he had not time for literature.
The impulse to write poetry returned,
yet the next book he published was the
prose Hyperion, which appeared in
1889, and which, though it has little
plot or action, may be called romance
The youthful and poetic hero, a passion
Rte pilgrim in Europe, was, moro or
less, 4 reflection of Longfellow himself.
A few months later in the same year
he published his first volume of poetry
Voices Of the Night'-in which he
reprinted certain of his earlier verses,
most of them written while he was at
Bowdoin. Some of these boyish verses
show the influence of Bryant, and 9th.
ers reveal to us that the young poet had
not yet looked at life for himself, but
still saw it through the stained glass
windows of European tradition. The
same volume contained also some moro
recent poems-''The Beleaguered City"
and 1.-The Reaper and the Flowers" and
the psalm of Life perhaps the first
OF his poems to win swift and abiding
popularity. These lyrics testified that
Longfellow was beginning to have a
style Of his own. As Hawthorne wrote
to him, Nothing equal to them was
ever written in this world-this west
ern world. mean"
Certainly no American author had
yet written any poem of the kind so
good as the best of those in Lonsfel-
lows volume of Ballads printed
two years later. Better than any other
American poet Longfellow had master
ed the difficulties of the story in song,
and he knew how to combine the swift
ness and the picturesqueness the ballad
requires. His ballads have moro of the
old time magic, more of the early sim.
plicity, than those Of any other modern
English author. Of its kind there is
nothing better in the language than
''The Skeleton In Armor," with its
splendid lyric swing, and 1.-THE Village

THE democratic convention in
Kentucky extends n merited compli-
ment to Secretary Carlisle when it
says he has guided the government
from the abyss Of financial ruin to
the threshold of prosperous flu
ture." Never did finance minister
inherit conditions more embarrass-
ing, says the Quincy Herald. He
came into Office after republican ex-
travagance and maladministration
had bankrupted the treasury; when
public confidence was wrecked and a
financial cyclone was gathering its
forces to sweep the country. With
out that prompt seconding from his
party in congress which the secre-
tary had right to expect he has
succeeded in maintaining the public
credit and establishing it on basis
so secure that confidence dares to re.

were better that it had never lived.
The st. Louis Republic says of its
closing hours:
"Nothing but George NJ. Pullman's
check book can reveal what it has
cost the corporation of which he is
the head to kill the bill of Senator
Higbee regulating the charges on
Pullman cars in the state of Illinois.
Senator Higbee made hard fight for
this measure, and it took cash, and
lots OF it, to defeat it. Then Pull
man has been a heavy contributor to
the corruption fund raised for the
defeat of the bill abolishing the in
famous state board of equalization.
which serves the purpose. annually,
Of releasing his company from a pro-
portionate assessment and payment
of state taxes. Other corporations,
equally favored, have contributed to
this fund, which. before the session,
was three months old, had reached
the enormous figure of $4,000"
And the republican Peoria Journal,
continuing its crusade on the "Illi-
nois Corruptionists"to the last, saws:
"The Illinois legislature has added
another load of disgrace to the re-
publican party of Illinois. For the
fourth time Gov. Altgeld has stood
between the people and corpora
ton bill passed by the legislature.
1t was the Crawford bill to legalize
the consolidation of corporations, SO
as to legalize the Chicago Gas Trust
and any other corporation trust.
Even the last days of the general
assembly are a stencil in the nos
trils of the people. As the Journal
has shown by official figures. the job
berry has been open and unblushing.
This is dark picture, but
no man who knows the truth will
dare say it is overdrawn. Illinois
constituencies owe their support and
encouragement to representatives
who may be tempted to sell the
birthright of people for a mess OF
local pottage. The corrupt combine
which is running the Illinois assem-
bly, is both bold and resourceful.
The taste and the smell of blood have
made it both desperate and regard
less of public opinion. 1t will traffic
pins for crowbars and drown oppo-
sition in multitude of viva voce
votes in which no man will make a
record and which will leave nothing
but bad smell and bad law as tes-
timony."

The ORIENT EXPRESS.

A bold Bulgarian shepherd boy who looked %
like sheep,
So gentle yet SO sportive in his SNOWY shep.
herds dress,
Lay down upon the railroad track and playet,
he was asleep
To fool the engine driver on the Orient e2-
press.
The driver, who disdained to slay the ram
upon the rail,
Put on the brakes, reversed the wheels ard
turned his face away.
The stok2r stood beside him, for it seemed his
heart would fail,
Whereat the shepherd boy stood up md
laughed and ran away.
Then camc the Irish section boss the day the
train came back
And poured about barrel O. tar between
the ties that day;
So when the shcphesd boy lay down the tar
upon the track
Trickled through the whisScrs Of his robe
and held him where he lay.
The driver could not hear the cry that swept
the right of way,
The deathcry Of the shepherd, and his SOU,
was filed with mirth.
BE opened up the throttle valve and turned
his face away;
The train bore down upon the boy and swept
him from Tic earth.

Kit Alexander had been warned sew
eral times for breaches of school disci-
pline and was at length reported to the
head master, who gave him a final
warming. One night not long after Kit
was again caught in mischief, and he
felt that this time he was sin for it. -
A fiogging by the doctor was no joke,
and Kit determined to make what prep
aration he could that the wind might
be tempered to the shorn lamb.
On rising the next morning he put
ON first his undershirt, then a layer of
stiff brown paper, then his jerseys, upon

than his own. Lastly he put Oh his coat

q friend: I'm nearly stifled. l hope
he'll give it to me now"
But the doctor said nothing, and Kit
went on stewing until dinner time. He
felt half inclined to dispense at least
with tho sweater before afternoon school,
but fear of the doctors cane deferred
him.
All through the afternoon he suffered
untold misery, mopping his face until
his handkerchief would mop no more.

LONDON, March 29.-The state ment
which Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office, made in
the house of commons last night, saying
that an advance of the French into the
territory of the upper Nile valley, be :
longing to the Royal Niger company
and, therefore, under British protection,
would be an unfriendly act, and that it
was we'll known to France that Great
Britain would SO regard ii, is causing a
profound sensation here and on the
continent.
Sir Edwards announcement which
was read from notes believed to have
been written by the secretary of state for
foreign affairs, the Earl of Kimberly, Is
looked upon as revealing the extremely
critical relations now existing between
France and Great Britain.
The fact that the statement was pre-
pared in writing beforehand, emphasizes
the seriousness of the situation and
shows that every word embodies the
views of the cabinet
In brief the statement is that it is be-
coming daily more difficult to live on
good terms with France;. that Great
Britain has made concession after con-
cessiOn in the past two years iu the in
terests of peace, but that the end has
now come, and il is now found necessary
to warn France from the ministerial
bench.
The most important and significant
portion of Sir Edward Grey's statement
was the following:
But something besides our own ef-
forts is necessary, aud that is the coop
