Can't Excuse.

1t is becoming amusing to witness
the desperate efforts being employed
by the Union in its attempt to- exon
crate Steve Hull from his recent wild
west exhibition enacted on a train
between Rock Island and Muscatine
and in which bound prisoner
was the victim.
There is no getting around the fact
that Hull showed himself a
coward when he struck down
a helpless fellowman. Because
he might have been a bard.
ened criminal is no reason why he
should have been made target
for wild-eyed deputy sherilf's
actions. There are certein obiiga-
tions which one man owes to anoth-
er under all circum stances, and in
this case particularly there was no oc-
casion for Mr.. Hull's violence, as his
prisoner was entirely at his mercy,
being securely handcuffed. The
deputy sheriff's treatment OF the
prisoner was as inexcusable as it was
barbarous.

Ambitious Young Man Finds 1t Not What

Ambitious Young Man Finds It Not What
1t IL Cracked Up to Be.
He was going home on visit after
spending three years in Chicago,
whittier he went to mould out ca
reer and make his fortune. His par
ents reside in an Iowa town and are
comfortably situated. But young
and ambitious as he was, and with
an idea that moneymaking was easy
and everything az pictured from
the brighter side of life, he was
not satisfied until he launched in the
Illinois metropolis. When he ar
rived there he had something over
hundred dollars in his purse and
fairly good wardrobe. He is rather
an attractive young gentleman and
we'll educated, bat the best he
copld do was to secure a position
clerking in one of the department
stores at a nominal salary, an in
crease in which he was promised as
his experience progressed. Finally
his wages were raised to $40 week.
Three years pass and we find him
on a train destined on a visit to the
old folks which he had been promis-
ing to make for some time. But
financial matters would not justify
such extravaganza. I'm tell you
this business of young fellow get
ting it into his head that big city is
the place to live, he told a
friend on the train. sis altogether
wrong. l went through the mill and
come near knowing what l am talk
ing about. This is my first trip
home in three years and 1 had hard
time scraping enough together to
make it at that. When l landed in
Chicago 1 had under consideration
all sorts of plans as to how / was 60
ing to prosper. And | think | did
as well as the average young man;
and when reach home my finances
will aggregate about $50. l went to
Chicago with $40; worked steady
nearly all the time; lived
as economically as l knew how;
diden't play the races or carouse or
carry on in the manner the average
young man of this generation does.
Now what can't understand is how
men with families get along drawing
salary the size of mine. But it
seems they exist. I'll tell you it
costs money to live in a big city.
Among my plans was. to come back
home and get married after | had
been in Chicago year or so; but
have changed my mind on that point,
also. The matrimonial question has
been bothering me considerably. l
thought when [ would accumulate a
couple of hundred l would take unto
myself wife. l figured every way,
but could not get the money to-
gether. So l thought the best l
could do was to make the long prom
ised visit as long as had enough to
pay my fare aud have few dollars
to spare. So bought suit which
cost me Solve got it on-and
now I'm homeward bound-not to
get married, I'll promise you that,
| however.
