 "Mebbe 1 didn't hardly beat one of them hackmen d little while ago. You ought to have seed me.'
 "How Was that:' inquired Miller, interested, as most men would be, in the happy person who could beat hack man.
 "Why," said the countryman, with an oily chuckle, ''he wuz little keer- less about his change, and chucked off one of them brass things you get at the depot on him for a quarter. ''
 'So you beat the hackman, did youP see you did, I don't think Didn't you have sense enough to know that that brass thing Was check for your trunk at the depot:'
 'Well, I'll be darnedv" calculated the countryman. Then he turned and made bee line for the depot at Tenth and Broadway, but he was too late. The hackman and his trunk had gone off together some time before Louis vile Commercial.

Eow to Break a Hen of Egg Eating.

If the hen is of little value kill it, & she may infect others. If the laying house is kept quite dark, this habit may be helped. Absence of lime is often a cause of the vice, therefore old mortar or limo rubbish should be scattered over the yard. A sure cure is to burn the ex- tremity of the hen s bill with redhot poker. It does not hurt the bird, but blunts the bill, so that she cannot pick a hoic in the shell. The old experiment of filling an egg with mustard and giv- ing it 10 the hen does no permanent good

 Climatic conditions often prove an i'm portant factor in deciding any contest of skill, speed and strength on either land or water. l am moved to make this state mcnt in view of the criticisms which have been passed upon my old time rival, Charles K.

To DAY one hears almost nothing about strikes, unless it be to raise wages to a point where operatives believe they ought to be advanced. and every where there is the hum of machinery, and in every indus try there is an effort to supply the market with fresh goods. It is welcome change to those wto in many cases exhausted all they had laid by in holding on until the times changed. The wage earner does not live in bed of roses. In the best of times it is necessary to live with prudence, and the man who does not lay by when he has plenty of work is not dolng justice to him. self. The trouble with people in bad times is chiefly with those who, like the prodigal SOD, have spent their money so freely that they have notEing to fall back upon. If all our wage earners will take advantage of the return of good times and high wages to replace what they have lost and increase their reserves, they will soon be out of trouble and find that the position of the wage earntr is not so desperate as it is said to ha

GOVERNOR MORRIS was a man of great ability and unquestioned honesty. He worked his way to the highest honors in the state by individual effort, and in the stormy times of 1891 carried himself with becoming dignity. As governor he made an excellent record. Nature never intended Governor Morris for politician. however. He was not partisan and was too modest for his party's good. It was as private citizen that Governor Morris was best known. He was a gentleman, always ready to do what he could to alleviate suf- fering and promote good.
