Students as Car Conductors.

1t is a well-known fact that many
students whose means do not run -
paying for a college course make up the
deficiency by hiring themselves aS
walters at pleasure resorts and coun-

such deserving young men a new open

that during the last summer between
thirty and forty students of jefferson
Medical College. the Philadelphia Col
lege Of Dentistry. the University Of
Pennsylvania and other colleges in
Philadelphia obtained employment as
conductors on the cars of the electric
railroads of the city. All of the young
men came from n distance. and were
working their way through college.
The railroad company was extremely
sorry when the time came for the
sumption Of the studies Of tho cole
gians. who had proved 70 be the best
conductors in the city. and who were
highly appreciated by the public. An
official of the company said the stu
dents were thoroughly honest. intelli-
gent and polite. and. as their desire
was 10 earn as much rs possible, they
were always willing II work extra
hours and take out special cars. SO
fully did the passengers appreciate
being treated with ciyility that they
gave but little trouble to the students.
who thus escaped many of the unpleaS
ant contingencies OF car conducting.
One young man. in fact. liked the
work so well that he is doubtful wheth-
er he will go back TO college, and in the
meantime has remained in the employ

economically and have probably saved
about $3.50 each, which will come in

Duel of Pryor and Potter.

During an acrimonious debate in the
House. shortly before the war. Mr. Pot
ter, of Wisconsin. made some very
sharp structures on Mr.. Pryor, Of Nir-
ginia. The result was challenge from
Pryor 10 fight a duel, which Potter
promptly accepted. naming as terms
bowie knives al five PAGES. terms which
he we'll knew Pryor would not dare to
accept, rs he was a small man, while
Potter was large, powerful man. and
familiar with the use of the bowie
knife. Pryor declined on the ground
that the proposed terms We're beneath
the dignity OF = gentleman TO accept.
and so tie matter ended Bat on the
day following the challenge, while the
result was still unknown. bOlh Potter
and Pryor were absent during roll-caN.
and when POtteT'S name was called a
Quaker member rose. and. in mild
voice. said: Mr. Speaker. l am inform
cd that the gentleman from Wisconsin
had a Pryor engagement" And when
Pryor's name was called. a moment
later. he rose again. saying: "Mr.
Speaker. l hear that the gentleman
from Virginia has gone to be as clay in
die hands of the Potter"

DARING EXPRESS HOLO-UP.
Robbers Secure $4,000 in Santa Fc
Depot at Colorado Springs.

At Colorado Springs Colo. two masked
bandits robbed the Welis-Fargo express
office Monday night of $4,000. They
presented rcvOlvers to the head of Assist
ant Agent George KTuut and compelled
him to open the safe. After they had
helped themselves they male their cs
cape
The Santa Fc fast Chicago train arrived
there at 9:42 and stopped. The agent,
George Krout. stepped ont on the plat
form TO attend to the express matter and
after arranging everything waved his
hand at the messenger ON the train and
it pulled out of the depot. south-bound
toward Pueblo Waving parting salute
to the messenger. who stood in the door,
Krout turned To enter his own office. As
he crossed the threshold lie saw two
forms in the far corner of the room. The
men had flour sacks over their heads.
Each figure held Il revolver and as The
agent entered he was ordered to throw up
his hands and give up the money in the
safe. As the men spoke they emphasized
their actions.
The agent passed back into the room,
where he was told TO open the safe. When
the robbers first entered the place they
found $4,000 package lying on the
table This Krout tcld them was all he
had. but he finally admitted that there
was $1,000 more in the safe. They forced
him to open the strcng box and give the
$1,000, but when lie closed the door he
shut in $4,000 that the robbers knew
nothing about. krout was then made TO
undress himself and 90 to bed and cover
himself up. and while lying there the
thieves made their escape.
The place where the robbery occurred
is on the outskirts of the town east of
the city and is brilliantly lighted by great

where the money was kept was in small

WANTS COAST OEFENSES.
Gen. Miles Says We Are InadcquateIy
Protected at Seaport Place..

The annual report of Gen. Miles. COM
manding the army. has been made public.
The personnel is shown TO be in excellent
condition, well instructed. efficient and
attentive to duty. Liberal appropriations
are required for public buildings ut the
posts, many of which are out of repair.
| nder the head of coast defenses Gen.
Miles states that the condition of these
defenscs is such as 10 require decided and
immediate action for their improvement.
The unguardcd condition of our coast is
known by every tirst-claSs power. and our
people should not bc led into false
curity. He recalls V hat he said in his
report of 1880 upon III" absolute import
ance of the defense Of the entire Pacific
coast in view of the fact that it was pos
sible for any naval power to blockade ev
cry important port within ninety days.
while il would take many years to make
Il successful resistance. and the country
might be required to pay indemnity Of
S5.000. 000, 900. While the railroads might
transport million brave men 10 the coast
they would be useless without appliances
TO cope with the modern engines of war.
and with all our intelligence. pride. inven-
tive genius and enterprise We are as TAR
behind III the modern appliances of war as
China or Japan.
While he does not anticipate war i'll the
near future he shows that in the last POO
years in less than 10 per cent of the wars
has there been any formal warning" "r
declaration before h0stilities. and rs II
would require years of time To construct
modern weapons of war il would be I'M
wise To disregard the lessons of history.
In our own country. for nearly 200 years,
there has never been IL period Of thirty
five years in which il has not been in.
volved in war. He points TO the case OF
China. which made the fatal mistake Of
relying upon its vastly superior numbers
for safety. and argues that the best guar
anty of peace is Il condition of readiness
for war. Touching the infantry, Gen.
Miles recommends the liberalization or
gaEization and rcgimental posts to keep
the companies of regiments together. He
thinks that ut least one full regiment Of
cavalry should be assembled at Fort
Riley. Kansas. where field maneuvers
might he undertaken annually. To thor
oughly demonstrate the utility Of bicycles
and meteor wa gems in the army it is rec
commended that force of twelve com
panies be equipped with these devices, 70

turkey We are to have tomorrow" said
the landlady. as he took the paper.
What is it, he asked. "A bill for
the turkey"
Mr. Griffin was not given to jokes, and
this was received with applause. 1t was
still going on when he looked at the paper.
1t had evidently been small handful,
printed on one side. and he looked at the
printed side. Only portion of it re-
manned. and on that what other words
might have been he did not see. All he
saw was ''Brinton." and Brinton was the
town where Martha lived. He turned
pale, but it passed on the instant. and he
turned the sheet over. There written in
pencil were the words:
May the wife who gets this be as hap
py as | once was: and may she never be
as unhappy as / am now.
There was no name: no indication
whence it came. and If it had not been for
the tell-talc word on the other side, the
wonder might have never beer solved.
AS John read the words, those near
him saw great change come into his
face. At first. it paled and there was q
look of agony, then he smiled and he
smiled, he turned TO the landlady.
Twill you dine at on Thanksgiving
he said, briefly.
She was SO upset By the sudden change
in the state of affairs that she could
scarcely speak, but she. managed some
how to tell him that was the hour.
Save three places for me-" he said.
rising, Il have just time 10 catch a train
now. and | can not explain until to-mor-
row ut dinner
That was all the boarders had to talk
about then for whole day, but il was
enough. and when o'clock came on
Thanksgiving day everybody was at the
table promptly, some of them in their
curiosity having cancelled engagements to
dine with friends.
The three places were vacant for an
hour. it seemed to the boarders, but in
reality it was only quarter after 6 when
Mr., Griffin came in with his wife and the
boy, and John told the story to those
about him, and if there were tears as he
went over il all, and how at last he had
found Martha waiting and hoping always
for him. they were tears of thanksgiving.

A good cook gives these directions:
Choose Il turkey short and plump in pref

feet soft, legs smooth, spurs short and
skin should look soft, showing layers of

look to the joints to see If they are plable,
and to the end of the breast bone to see if
it is flexible. This connosseur further
