He Got Up Early.

There is a man in the southern part of the city who went home late one night last week. He felt hungry, and thought that he could get into the pantry without the aid of light.
 He opened the door carefully so as not to awaken the household.
 He trailed his fingers over the top shelf.
 The first thing he struck was nice fresh lard. He tried 1t again.
 It was butter this time.
 He said something that would hardly pass at a prayer meeting.
 Then he tried it once more.
 An, his fingers went into something that felt like oysters. He took down the can and tasted 1t. Yes, 1t must be oysters, though they didn't taste right up to date, In few moments he had gulped 1t all down, despite the peculiar taste. Then hs took off his shoes and went up stairs to bed
 He woke up tho next morning just two hours before his usual time for rising. He wondered what was the matter with his stomach. It was very strange feeling, a: though he had eaten dried apples and drank a lot of cold water.
 When he came down to breakfast in tho morning the first thing his wife asked him was:
 "George did you touch the pail of yeast on the pantry shelf Why, what is tho matter?' she cried, as her husband mad, one frantic effort to swallow up all tht water in the pitcher. Post.

REPUDIATIONl !

The Connecticut Senate was on Tues day the scene of vigorous debate on the Hartford Bridge question. Those who favored the scheme of having the state build the bridge emphatically de- clared that the honor of the state was at stake and that it could not repudiate its contract with the Berlin Bridge O. Very we'll, no one desires or requests the state to repudiate contract unless such contract was obtained by fraud The validity of the so called contract with the Berlin Bridge Go. has yet to be established. Until that is done it is premature to talk about repudiating a contract. Thus far the state has only virtually repudiated the so called bridge commission whose members never quail fed by taking tie oath of office or even kept record of their meetings and votes, and never permitted public bid ding of any kind for the contract to build the bridge.
 The Iact IS noDOdy proposes to fepu- diate any valid contract made by the state. The law proposed by the major fly of the judiciary committee and one of those proposed by minority pro- vide for decision by the courts as to whether the state has made contract, and for it's execution if the courts hold that there is valid contract.
 Even if the stste refuses to build the bridge it will be no hardship for the city of Hartford or for the Berlin Bridge Go. Had either party paid for the free advertising they have received from the press and public speakers throughout the state and nation the cash investment would infinitely exceed the price of the bridge, or even dozen such bridges,

THURSDAY. MAY g, 1895

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph gives the silver question in a nut shell as follows:
 Silver is worth 68 cents an ounce, and there is less than four-fifths of an ounce in silver dollar. Free silver coinage simply means that the govern ment shall by law declare that 52 cents worth of silver shall be counted as one dollars worth in payment of debts. As there are silver mines turning out bull- ion ct az low a cost as 40 cents an ounce, it is easy to see that there are millions in the job for the silver barons.

The Opening of the Season.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the elephant felt the impulse of its genial influence as he reached his trunk around and banged away at the cage of his neighbor, the royal Bengal tiger, which was curled up over in the far cor her.
 "Say, Tigey, old boy" remarked the elephant, "did you know spring had comef'
 The royal Bengal growled and showed his teeth.
 1T say" repeated the elephant, sticking his trunk into the cage and blowing 8 basketful of dust over the tiger, "I say, spring has come"
 The tiger bounded up and lit on the elephants trunk, almost tearing the lid of of it with his claws.
 "Wow," whistled the elephant, with. drawing 1t precipitately. 1T didn't moan that kind of a spring." And he hunched over as far from his neighbor as he could get.-Detroit Free Press.

 The session of the legislature in every state brings to the capitol a retinue of ap- plicants for every position from clerk of the senate to assistant fireman. This year there has been an unusually large number of people out of work In one of the states, where the number of employees for the GO days session has been limited by law to 900, there were no less than $500 needy applicants.
 Tho day before the opening of the ses- sion shy girl knocked at the door of the attorney generals office. "Is the attorney general inf' she asked timidly.
 "Yes," said clerk. "He will see you when he gets through with this long line of job hunters Just have a seat" In the numerous chairs, on the office lounge and standing were 20 or more wait ing for turn to press some claim for a position.
 The attorney general was rather gruff looking man, and he dismissed each with the remark: 1T can't do anything for you. Sorry, you know, but there are hundreds of applicants, and each officer, every legis- lator, has dozen begging for each posi- tion."
 When the timid girls turn came, she handed the impatient looking officer let ter. She said nothing, she hardly looked | into his face.
