They Were Too Late.

The belated wayfarer was standing in
the shadow of a building with both
hands pointing heavenward while he
gazed into the muzzle of q revolver.
One footpad was holding the revolver
where it would do the most good in case
OF an emergency and the other was 60
ing through the victims pockets. The
silence was SO oppressive that the belat-
ed wayfarer finally felt obliged t speak.
Think you are smart, don't you?''
he said.
I'VE know our business - returned
II of the footpads gruf1y.
"Of course you do" said the belated
wayfarer with something like u sheer.
"You know that this is my pay day, I
suppose?"
"Sure, replied the footpad. "That's
why we laid for you"
He amt got but Go cents, Bill" in

ing the victims pockets.
."Wotl" cried the other.
"That's right" said the belated way
farer cheerfully.

the man with the revolver.
Right again." admitted the belated
wayfarer i'll the same cheerful tone.
But somebody got in ahead of you, and
you thought you were so all fired smart
that I'll be hanged if I'm not glad of it. Z"

Awkward Apology.

1t makes all the difference how a
thing is put. With the best of intentions
ono may blunder sometimes.
at a meeting in London lately, Lady
Henry Somerset, the great temperance
worker, was absent through illness.
The lady who took her place made this
kindly but unexpected explanation:
Dear Lady Henry has been over
worked, and we must, of course, be
careful not to kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs. Youths Companion.

Railroads are the greatest immigra-
ton agents in this country. During the
years when foreign immigration was
heavy the land agents of Nebraska rail
roads brought thousands of settlers into
the state. most of whom are prosperous,
well-to-do citizens. This year. however,
the railroads are attracting people from
eastern states and it is estimated that
only a small proportion of newcomers
are from foreign ports. 1t makes little
difference to NebraskanS whence come
these people. hut there is nothing so
essential to the welfare of the state as
heavy and constant immigration of de-
sirable people.

ANOTHER hoy ORATOR.
Ripe Conclusions of IN Indiana Col
legc Student.
Chicago Chronicle tdem),

Il Conclusions of nm Indiana Col
legc student.
Chicago Chronicle tdem.).
Another boy orator has appeared. His
name is Clarence ID. Royse. He is a stu.
dent at De Paw university, in Indiana. and
was a rival in one of the recent contests
for the championship of college oratory.
Young Mr.. Royse made an address a few
days ago at a meeting of business men in
G%reencastle, Ind. In the course OF his ad-
dress he said:
Has gold appreciated?
Measured in silver, yes.
Measured in most commodities, yes.
Measured in labor, no.
Wages are higher than in 1873.
The complaint that the dollar is worth
too much simply means that the laboring
man can buy too much of the necessities
and comforts of life for the wages he re-
ceives.
If this be the evil and the remedy re-
CURED be the reduction of the purchasing
power OF wages, then free silver is the
proper thing.
This is as wise an answer as could be
framed in reply to boy Orator" Bryan's
argument against a dollar increasing in
value" II is brilliant and conclusive.
The gold dollar has increased in value
proportionate TO silver and to many other
commodities. But ii has not increased. in
value proportionate to the wages Of labor.
The gold dollar paid to the workingman
as wages VIII buy more today of the nee
essaries of life than ever before, At the
same time there has been an increase in
wages at gold prices.
The Indiana college boy orator concen-
trated in a dozen lines a wise and conclu-
sive reply to all the wild fallacies that the
boy orator of the Platte scattered from
car platform on a railroad ride OF 1900
miles from Nebraska to New York and in a
two hours typewriter speech after he ar
rived at New York.
