Bicycles and Mad Dogs.

Another use has been found for the
bicycle. On one of the outer boulevards
a cyclist recently perceived police
man driving cart and urging on the
horse at a rapid pace. Upon question
ing the Constable the wheelman was
told that he was endeavoring to over
take rabid dog which had got ahead
of the trap. Borrowing the gem
darme's saber the cyclist hastily
mounted his machine and sped away in
pursuit of the enraged animal. On
coming up with the dog he charged it
while still on his bicycle and had the
satisfaction of running the creature
through with his weapon, killing it on
the spot. The cyclists plucky action
was much applauded by the crowd that
had been attracted by so unwonted a
sight.-London Standard.

His Compliment to Chopin.

a Senator's wife, who is an accom-
plished musician, gave a dinner party
recently. Among the guests was a GER
tain member of the Kentucky delega-
tion in Congress.
While awaiting announcement of dim
ner, at the urgent request of some of
the guests, the hostess played and sang.
She had just finished a polonaise by
Chopin. which was greeted by a burst
of applause. and as she rose from the
piano, in the silence which followed the
sweet strains, her husband turned to
the gentleman from the Blue Grass
State with:
Would you like sonata before din
ner, Colonel?"
We'll, I don't mind,' promptly re-
piled the Kentucky statesman, bracing

BUSINESS OBJECTIONS TO POKER.
Employers Do Not Hire Young Men
Who Indulge in the Game.

The national game of poker which
has SO long been regarded as a purely
side issue, is becoming factor in busi-
ness affairs, and as competition in trade
becomes closer and strict economy more
| essential to success, it will steadily
grow in Importance.
Gambling with cards, dice, or any sort
of paraphernalia has never been re-
garded as a sensible business transac-
ton, and of late years has been put un-
der the ban of the law. At present no
State in the Union regards gambling as
legitimate or gambling debts as collect
able
But this is not the phase of the Ques-
tion that most interests young men, but
the fact that business men are begin

You can say that I would not en-
ploy a young man, or any man, in our
bank who plays poker" said success
full financier.
From purely business point of view
there are many objections to poker. The
game is so fascinating to some that they
spend time at it when they ought to be
in their beds at home, or reading, or
doing something that tends to fit them
for their business. and for becoming
good citizens. A really good business
man, you know, is also a good citizen
Some who are not very desirable citi-
zens succeed in making money, but
somehow or other it never seems to do
anybody any real good.

player who stays out of the game and
waits for his luck to return. The nom
professional player becomes desperate,
plunges, and goes broke. If this does
not break the spell and restore him to
his right senses he borrows money in
the hope of winning back that which he
has already lost. But just as often
he loses this, too, and in his desperation

than when he lost before. If he loses
again, he is liable to be found out He
may hush the matter up by getting his

If he should not have friends willing

enough influence to keep the thing quiet,
! he goes out in disgrace. But in any
event, his name goes on the list which

a position of trust, and these only are
profitable. e."-Pittsburg Commercial Ca

WAGES SINCE THE "CRIME."
Statistics Showing the Increase
Wages Since 1879

Statistics Showing the Increase in
Wages Since 1879.
The country resumed specie pay
ments upon gold basis on Jan. l.,
1879, and it has ever since maintained
them. We appeal to the individual ex-
perience of our readers to decide
whether, since 1879, wages and salar-
les have not risen, and whether it is
any harder to get them paid now than
1t was then. Speaking for the Sun, we
assert with pleasure that we are now
paying higher, wages and higher sal
aries than we were in 1870, and are
employing more men. AS to other en-
ployers we will let statistics tell the
story. .z,.a.,..
According to the census Of 1880, the
year after the gold standard had be-
come supreme, the number of employees
in manufacturing establishments that
year was 2,732, sos, and the aggregated
wages paid them was $947 ,953, 795, or
an average of 1924 each. In 1890 the
number Of employees was 4,712,622
their aggregate earning were $2,2S3,-
$500, and the average earned by
each was $4SS. Here was an increase
of nearly One-half under a standard
which Mr.. Bryan says both lessons
the amount and threatens the perma-
hence" of the rewards of labor.
Since the census of 1890, a commit
tee Of the senate of the United States
of which Senator Aldrich was chair
man, reported in 1894 upon the subject
of wages and prices, that in twenty
one selected Industries wages were in
money 40 per cent higher in 1880 than
they were in 1860, and 60 per cent
higher in 1891 than they were in 1860,
while the prices of staple articles had
fallen between 1880 and 1890 in some
Instances OEe-third.-New York Sun.

WHAT WILL LIND DO?

If Mr.. Lind is elected, this fill, will
he do Just what Doc Aines would
have done ten years ago had he been
elected; or, If defeated, will he do, ten
years hence, just what Doc Ames is
doing to-day, bolt his party to advance
his own interests? This thing Of
building up party upon personal am
bition is q good deal like c:.cting an
edifice upon a single brick. Even
though the brick upon which 1t Is
raised be ever SO good, the structure
must soon tumble down. If the found
alton has sufficient depth and breadth
it can Withstand quite a number OF
defective bricks, and, even with shaky
pillars, stand for a long time. The
better plan is to attend to these indi-
vidual defects, one at time, and not
try to destroy the building because it
needs repairs, The best time to at
tempt a selection of the materials is
before the building is built, and the
proper time to adjust personal differ
ences of opinion is before the nominal
ing nventions.-Midway News.
