wheelbarro " Folk.

There are good many children and
some grown people who go like wheel
barro" that is, they go just as far as
you push them, and when you stop they
stop. You tell them to do thing and
they do it, and that is all they will do.
If you want thing done you must tell
them to do it again. If you want a
thing done forty times you must tell
them forty times to do it.
There are other people who, when you
set them going, can keep on themselves.
They have some ''go" in them. If you
tell them today that you want thing
done tomorrow, you will find the same
thing done without telling them again.
If you complain that a thing has been
neglected this week next,,week they will
see that it is not neglected.
There is great deal of difference in
the value of these two kinds of people
because the wheelbarrow kind of folk
need somebody to run them just as much
as a machine needs somebody to attend
to it. They only GO while you watch
them and push them; SO, If you have
one such person at work you must en-
ploy another one to watch him and keep
him going; but if you have one of the
ether kind at work he will watch him
self, do his work and make you no
trouble about it.
1t is very important for all boys and
girls to decide which class they will be-
long to, whether they will be wheelbar-
row folk, that is, go as far as they are
pushed and then stop, or whether they
can be depended upon to keep in motion
after they are once started. Boys or
girls who must be told what to do and
then watched while they do it are not
worth their salt; but if a person can do a
thing with once telling, and continue
doing it without further care, such a
person is worth more than gold. -Zion's
Waterman.

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact, as
a rule, they are not. What is wanted is
something mild and sure, such as Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Kennedy. That IS really pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweetened.
Then it is acknowledged everywhere to
be the most successful remedy in the
world for bowel complaints Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhoea and fully nine
out of ten viii recommend Chamber

A Music Publisher Says He Only Knows
of One Great Success.
Campaign songs are beginning tc
come out by the dozen-in fact, they
are about all the music being published
at this season, said Manager Bailey of
the John f. f. Ellis Music company.
"But there isn't much profit in them
for the publishers. What Interior mo-
tives the authors may have, and whether
the glory they get out of the songs
or the stand in they secure with the can.
didates profit them much, I do not
know. But certainly out of all the cam
paign songs we have published-and I
have been in this business since boyhood
Il can recall only one which sold we'll
That was during the Blaine campaign,
and it was entitled Follow Where the
White Plume Waves.
1.-THE words were by Edward M. Ia.
Der, who skillfully adapted the nom de
plume of the candidate, and the music
was by John Philip Sousa. Like all of
Sousa's music, it had catchy refrain
which any crowd could learn in little
while, anG it fairly set the Blaine meet
ings wild. We had great sale for that
piece, until after election of course,
but it is the only campaign song within
my memory which was a great success. +"

RIDES ON A RAIL.
Franks of . Daredevil Wheeiman to At.
tract Attention.

tract Attention.
E. G. Wilbur of 1927 Broadway, Oak
land, is looked upon as curiosity by the
bikers of Alameda county. He races
with railroad trains, rides his wheel on
railroad rail and does other queer
tricks. Thursday Wilbur raced the mar
row gauge train from the pier to Oak
land, riding his wheel on a single rail
behind the speeding train.
Wilbur for some months has been
practicing riding his wheel on a single
railroad rail. His method is to take a
companion wheel and use it for balanc-
ing. In this manner he can ride on a
railroad track for miles. One hand il
used to steer his own machine and the
other rests ON the companion wheel,
which he pulls along by his side. After
many experiments ON the Seventh street
track Wilbur decided he was proficient
as rail rider. The sport on the ground
was not exciting enough for him, so he
determined to ride rail over the long
narrow gauge trestle. At o'clock Will
bur started out from the mole behind
train with his two wheels, one on the
track and the other jumping over the
trestle ties. He made good progress, but
was unable to keep within hailing dis
lance of the train. But his speed was
high considering the fact that the
slightest slip meant fall into the bay.
The Webster street drawbridge was
crossed in safety, and when the rider
arrived at First street he dismounted
with the remark, II defy any other
wheeIman in California to make that
ride -
Not satisfied with this feat, Wilbur
left Tiburon the other day on run to
Santa Rosa using the railroad track.
The run was made in good time, and
now the wheelman is looking for some
other mode of astonishing wheelmen.
Wilbur simply takes these wild rides in
order to amaze people. He likes to be
called queer and pointed out as crank.
II can beat any man in the United
States riding a bicycle on railroad
track, F" said Wilbur today. Il like to
be called crank and pointed out as a
fool for taking chances. This thing of
riding wheel on rail is only a mat.
ter of practice. Any man with steady
nerve and little courage can do it.
Next week l am going to make a trip
from the Oakland mole to San Leand1o
on my wheel and will ride a rail all
the way. San Francisco Examiner.

Cotton Bound with Wire.

A bale of cotton bound with wire in
place of steel bands has been shipped to
Charleston. The opinion of cotton men
who have seen it is that the wires would
prove an effective tie in transportation
across the water, though they are not
inclined to indorse the innovation I'M
conditionally. One consideration that
must be regarded when planters are
thinking of striking blow to the tie
trust is this: Are they willing to lose
25 OF 80 cents bale on their cotton for
the privilege of using wire? The wire
is much lighter than the steel bands, and
when the bale is weighed the weight of
ties and bagging is included with that
of the cotton.

TO BUY VOTES WITH BEER.
HANNA WILL HOLD FREE RE-
FRESHMENT PICNICS.
He Wants to switch the Campaign Off
the Money Question and Rake Over
the Cold Ashes of the Tariff.


the Cold Ashes of the Tariff.
Secretary Mercer of the republican
congressional committee is the author
ity for the statement that the tariff is
to be pressed to the front in the west
ern campaign from this time forward
He says that silver has been worn
tbreadbare in the west, because it has
been the issue there for the past ten
years.
The plan of the campaign In the
western states is to organize republic
can clubs to go into the country and
give political picnics at which the tar
if question will be served with bread
and cheese and beer.
tbs understood that beer Wills only
be served in the German localities.
The announcement of Secretary
Mercer that the tariff question will be
forced to the front confirms the state
ment made few days ago by gentle
man who attended the Mark Hanna
conference in Philadelphia. Sur
rounded by select number of republi-
can and sound money men invited to
meet the manager of the Mckinley
campaign, Mr.. Hanna surprised some
of his hearers by saying that in or
der to press the McKinly campaign, to
a successful termination it would be
necessary to link the tariff question to
the money question, and he notified
the Philadelphians that as soon as he
reached home orders to that effect
would be sent out to all the republican
workers in the field.
1t has been generally supposed that
Mr.. Hanna proposed to carry the Nc
Kinley campaign by the liberal use of
money in the doubtful states, there
fore many of his Philadelphia hearers
were surprised to hear Mr.. Hanna say
that in this campaign that money will
not purchase enough votes to elect Nc
Kinley. He is convinced that the re-
publicans cannot make winning fight
on the money question alone, but in
sisted that the tariff question must be
brought prominently out.

was to have the land in fee simple.
This was curious arrangement, but
