He Knew His Crowd.

As soon as they got on the train the
conductor recognized the kind ofcrowd
he had to deal with, says JVdge. They
were Young commercial travellers, con-
slderably exhilamted by their mutual
hospitalities at the town hotel The
conductor allowed them TO call HIM
captain and make various remarks,
and then, after the rounds Of collecting
the tickets, he stood before them, and
said
"Gentlemen, ! want to inform yon
that this is the slowest train IN the
country that it never runs smooth
unless It is off the track that'it once
had race with AN ox-cart, and failed
10 arrive in time to attend the barbecue
at which the oxen were served that
it stops everywhere, and waits for
everything from a setting Of eggs TO a
lynching party; that it makes more
noise and less progress than a free
silver politician; that it never goes
straight unless it is running around a
curve that the only occasion when II
was ON time was when 1t ran over a
clock, and that if you are in very much
Of hurry you'd better get out and
walk.
Then he went 10 the other end OF
the car and slept as quietly as a babe,
for not single question disturbed his
slumbers.

Outgrown Friendship.

Is there anything more distressing
in life than friendship outgrown?
This doesn't mean one that has been
broken off through some difference
of opinion, some misunderstan anding
that few words could have set
right, or an estrangement, the result
of hasty temper that prompted ug-
" words and untruthful, bitter sem
timent no, a friendship outgrown
as the unhappy product of too much
worldliness on one side or the other.
Perhaps education would be the bet
ter word, or a knowledge of the
world more comely phrase, but
whichever pleases most the outcome
of the same never varies.
Take two girls at schoOl-chums
they have been through all the years
of study and fun they have passed
together, they separate at gradua-
tion, swearing eternal friendship,
letters fly back and forth for time,
and then one pays the other a visit
All, how many illusions have been
dispelled in that reunion? Life has
changed one, perhaps, from the girl
of a year ago into a woman, while 1t
has left the other where she was.
After the first good talk over old
times they cannot help seeing that
there is something different in the
atmosphere that was once so con-
genial. The visit over, few more
letters, then silence and another
friendship lost in that great laby-
rinth of change that has grown upon
the sunny fields of comradeship.-

A Great Lawyers Infirmity.

The late Chief Justice +. G. Ryan,
Of Wisconsin, was in many respects
the most notably able man the State
ever reckoned among its citizens. He
had great learning, particularly in law.
Among veteran lawyers who knew
Judge Ryan there are few, If any, who
do not concede that he was better
versed in the law than any other man
in his profession in the State, but he
was less fortunate in his practice than
many of the frst-class lawyers.
The late Matt II. Carpenter used to
win most of his cases when Judge Ryan
was the opposing attorney but often
lamented that he was not as good a
lawyer as his unsuccessful opponent.
Once Mr.. Carpenter said why, If !
possessed f. G. Ryans legal ability to
90 with my good nature and skill in
controlling my temper, would not be
ayerse to meeting any lawyer in the
world, no matter how important the
case. Yet Carpenter seldom lost a
case when the opposing attorney was
Judge Ryan.
How is it, Matt, that you nearly
always defeat Ryan, even when 1t is
plain that you have a poor case and
he a good one?" asked one Of the great
senator's friends
by keeping my temper and help
ing Mr.. Ryan to lose his, was Car
penters prompt reply
That was 80. Carpenter knew that
his brother attorney was always well
prepared when he went into court
well loaded, cooked and Primed-and
he also knew that if Mr.. Ryan did not
lose his temper, he would win the case.
so he was careful to see that Mr.. Ryan
lost his temper and fred off his per-
feet load so that it scattered and it'
effect was wasted.
Age took the rough edges from
Judge Ryan's temper so that when he
became chief justice he filled the high
station in an able and as dignifed q
manner as it ever had been filed.

There Were Other Young Men.


Hon. William Jennings Bryan, the
Democratic nominee for president, was
thirty-six years old March l9, last, and
Will not be quite thirty-seyeu when
inaugurated next March. Not being
able to attack him upon any other
point his youth is pointed TO asa reason
why he should not be elected. But
this counts for nothing. Youth and
inexperience DO not so hand in hand
nor Is wisdom always linked TO gray
hairs and wriukled brow.
Charles MI Of Sweden was but little
more than eighteen when he fought
the battle of Nava, and routed $4,000
intreuched Russians with an army of
5000 Swedes. Richeheu was secretary
Of state of France at twenty-five.
Napoleon Bouoparte was only thirty
when made first consul. Hannibal was
in his zenith at thirty. Alexander
the Great died in his SD year Alex
ander Hamilton was secretary Of the
treasury when thirty-two jefferson
was only thirty-three when he wrote
the Declaration of Independence.
The Fathers of the Republic were
in reality young men. OF the forty
three signers Of the Declaration of IN
dependence only five had reached the
age of sixty Twenty were less than
iorty-fye and all the leading spirits
were less than forty History is full
of distinguished services Of young men.
In our own time there are numerous
examples. Russell was governor of
Massachusetts at thirty-two. and at
thirty-seven the delegates to the CHI
cago convention supported HIM ios
president Bryan was an easy winner
over both Patuson and Russell. His
career in Congress had given HIM "A
national reputation when he was thur
ty-oue. His big brain, his conservative
Judgment, his wisdom, bis matchless
oratory, his firm stand as the champion
Of the peoples rights pointed him out
as the great leder 70 carry the party
to victory. Age does not count, and
Bryan will make a president who wall
rank with the strongest and ablcst.

AS His Mother Used to Do.

He criticised her puddings and he found fault
with her cake;
He-wished she'd make such biscuit as bis
mother used to make;
She didn't wash the dishes and she didn't
make stew
Nor even mend his stockings, as his mother
used TO do.
His mother had six children, bat by night
her work was done;
His wife seemed drudging always, yet she
only had the one.
His mother always was well dressed. his wife
would be so too,
If only she would manage as his mother used
TO do.
All, we'll! She was no; perfect, though she
tried to do her best,
Until at length she thought her time mad
come TO have a rest;
So when one day he went the same old rig
marole all through,
She turned and boxed his ears, lust as ms
mother used TO do.
