1t is stated on Washington au-
thority that the Pacific railroad
refunding bill cannot possibly pass
the senate now, as it would be
''inexpedient for the republican
party" SO near the eve of a pres
idential campaign. Presidential
timber is on exhibition in the
senate; hence consideration toward
the railroad magnates. The SEN
ate should be taught that the voice

feared.--Ex.

Two KINDS OF BAGGAGE FlgNp
One Villain Travels with tho Train, the
Other Remains In the Depot.

One Villain Travels with tho Train, tho
Other Remains In the Depot.
There are two OF them, the one who
fits from station to station and dumps
your poor dumb trunk with force
enough to drive piles in government
brealswater, and the one who loiters
around the depot watching for his
chance to shatter your baggage, says
Texas Siftings, The depot baggage
man is the most culpable of the two
species, In his long and dark career of
smashing trunks he has knocked the
hoops off his conscience, and there is
no remorse brave, foolhardy and reclE.
less enough to tackle his heart-strings
and play on them. The cowboy ropes
the Texas steer for. fun, but the bag
gageman ropes your trunk for quar-
ter of dollar, No matter though
your trunk be shod with half-inch
strap iron and armed with solid steel
corsets on the corners, and double
locked with burglar-proof combina-
tlon, the station baggageman wants to
rope it all the same, and usually he
terrifes all the passengers into letting
him have his own way. He approaches
you with % smile, goes away with
twenty-five cents and ties your bruised
and battered kister with tow string.
The strong, iron-bound chest of the
drummer, and the aristocratic though
fragile frame Of the Saratoga, meet on
a common level, and when they do
meet the splinters fly, and while the
owner of the Saratoga is wringing her
lily white hands and tucling stray bits
of lace, ruffiing and bird's-eye linen
into the fractured corners, the drum
mer is using the most vigorous and
spiritual language he can command,
and great deal of it, warming up
with the eloquent hrilliancy of his dis
course. AS the prayers of the wicked
avail naught, so neither do the tears Of
The belle nor the curses of the CONNER
cial gentleman. The time table of the
railroad is not changed in the least,
and the sympathetic passengers are
obliged to go abroad. The wounded
trunks are thrown into the ambulance
baggage car-and whirled away to
the next slaughter house farther up
the road. And the dear, sweet dude,
and the starehy old deacon, and the
grand and impressive member of the
legislature are all alike powerless in
the hands of the fiend of the check
room. Tyre and Sidon have passed
away. and SO will our trunks The
Goths and Vandals swarmed down
upon Rome and it fell Verify, SO do
the Goths and Vandals of the modern
prey on our baggage and it is
all broken up.

THE FIRST DRUMMER.
English Quskers Seem to Have Been the
Prosenitors of the Race.

English Quakers Seem to Have Been the
Progenitors of the Race.
The rapid development Of the COM
mercial traveller system specifically be-
longs to our own days, but as to the
origin there is some difference of opin-
ion. One authority lays it down that
the bagman of to-day-the drummer, 8
in American phraseology--is the i'm
mediate descendant Of the old chap
man, or peddler, or hawl1er, As these
personages were known even in the
time of Chaucer in this case the mod
ern commercial can boast a very re-
spectacle ancestry.
Another antiquarian, however, in the
Bookseller has another theory to pro
pose. For this he brings the poet
Southey as witness, 1t is that the
commercial travellers Of to-day really
date back to the Quakers Of one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty years
since These persons, it is well known,
were forced to wander throughout the
country by persecution and i'll treat
ment. They were then, as they are to-
day, mostly good, honest men of busi-
ness, and with the true commercial IN
stinct they seem to have made virtne
Of necessity, and during their wander
ings to have made acquaintances as fur
as possible with the country trades
men, to whom they often sold goods,
watches, 'tcamblets," and other ar
ticles. They seemed to have pushed
their trade SO vigorously that they OBJ
tanned heavy orders, so much so that
"the tradesmen in London stood idle"
as one Of the Quakers said, while we
filed our Golfers"
One Thomas Greene, Quaker
preacher and only laboring man, died
worth some thousands Of pounds made
In this fashion. The speculation Is both

The extra session talk suggests
the fact that number of members
Of the last legislature are now hold
ing other official positions. Under
the constitution, if we mistake not,
person cannot hold but one office,
and unless these members have re-
signed, they are occupying their
present positions III violation ofthe
constitution. This fact may be un-
important except in the case Of
Mr.. McGinn, who has been ap-
pointed Judge in department No.
4, in this city, and important liti-
CATION may result in consequence
if he has not filed his resignation.
There is another important point
in his case. Under the constitu-
tim q member Of the legislature is
disqualified for an Office created by
the legislature Of which be is a
member. The Office which he holds
was creqted at the session Of 1898,
when Judge McGinn was a mem
ber Of the senate. These may
become serious matters in the
future, and may cause great trouble
and expensive litigation. 1t Is a

BORN A FIGHTER.
A Frsaeh Soldier Who Reyeled In Scenes
of Death.

of Death.
Many men have made good soldiers
and brave commanders who, neverthe-
less, had no relish for fighting Gen.
0udinot. SO famous in the wars Of
Napoleon, was warrior Of another
type, says Youths Companion. Gle
seemed, at all events, to love war for
its own sake. His fiery temper and his
ideal of soldier are well exemplifed
in two brief anecdotes gathered from
his biography, recently published.
In July, 1905, when 0udinot was
thirty-eight years old, the emperor re-
viewed the grenadiers at their camp at
Boulogne. The customary maneuvers
were performed, and at the end Gen.
0udinot-in command Of the grena-
diers-started to march at the head of
the line before Napoleon,
He put the spurs to his horse, and the
steed balked. The struggle was brief,
for the exasperated general drew his
sword and gave the horse such stab
in the neck that in anothermoment the
horse lay stretched upon the sand.
That night the commander of the
grenadiers dined with the emperor,
and in the course of the meal Napoleon
said:
SIS that the way you treat your
horses?"
Sire, answered 0udinot, when any
one knows not how to obey, that is my
method"
The second anecdote is even more
grim. Some one spoke to oudinot
about the deep affection which gen
eral must cherish for his devoted troops.
Love themr' he exclaimed. "do l
love theml All! l think do! have
had them all killed."
There spoke the born fighter, who
shirked no danger himself, and ae-
counted it the most enviable lot Of a sol
dier to die on the field.
