A Slow Train.

Southern railroads have reputation
for slow travel and in some cases it is
we'll merited, says Harper's Round Table
A western travelling man, making trip
on these lines, suffered a great deal of
annoyance from this particular falling,
but up to the time of the Following inc--
dent ne had enjoyed himself Immensely
persons having to do with the roads,
about their rapid transit
He was travelling one afternoon on an
exceptionally slow train which came to q
stop every now and then without any
apparent cause. After expressing him
self very audibly to the passengers he re-
signed himself to the inevitable, and doZed
off into short maps, which were interrupt
ed by the sundry jerks of the train, at
which he complained. The passengers
showed their annoyance at these COM
plants by angry looks. The conductor
had excused the engineer in every posi-
BILE way. The last apology had been that
cattle INSTRUCTED the track. The train
had started again, and had proceeded
about ten minutes, when it halted with a
jerk. Up walked the impatient traveller,
and petulantly remarked:
Dear. deari 1 suppose, conductor, this
worse than slow train has struck another
herd of cattle?"
Struck another one?-not much" re-
piled the conductor; we've simply caught
up with the first herd we ran into, that's
ALL"
The traveller subsidized, and the conduc-
tor was left in peace.

NO. Politics.

thing that ever happened to either Bryan
or Mckinley. We've had pictures Of all
the places where they were born. all the
schools that they ever attended, and all

Mere trites compared with the first
switch that was ever used on Bryan and

reporter That's something that the
public is interested IN. because ID furn-
ished the incentive for the first burst Of

nn.Inr..Iike Rr.oIution..

The naval stores operators are TO Re
commented for the wise and business
Ike resolutions they adopted yesterday.
They agreed that during the coming sea-
son they would cut only one-third as
many boxes as they cut during the season
just closing and the previous season.
What Is the sense Of using up the naval
stores territory az the rate at which IL
has been used up for the past several sea-
sons without getting any great benefit
from f.? That IS the question the oper-
ators have been asking themselves. and
they have answered it in the resolutions
they adopted yesterday. They have been
selling their product a just about the
cost OF production. There has been no
margin Of profit. And why? Simply be
cause the supply was greater than the
demand The market was kept gluttei
all the time. and consumers were able
10 have their needs supplied on their own
terms.
How was this condition OF things to be
remedied2 Clearly by cutting down the
supply. When the supply is reduced the
demand will become more active and
prices will advance.
Under the new order of things which is
TO be inaugurated. the operators will not
have as much turpentine and rosin to
send TO market, but they will make a
great deal more money. In fact. they
have been making no money lately. They
will certainly make some IL prices adj
vance, and they will advance II produc-
ton is reduced.
The thing to be looked after carefully
is that the agreement is kept. The re-
suits aimed at can be achieved only by
each operator keeping faith with every
other operator. II one breaks the agree
ment and the fact becomes known, others
will also feel at liberty to break it. If
the agreement is kept faithfully there
will be more prosperity among the naval
stores operators than there has been for
a long time; and we hope there will be,
because they deserve il.

Outwittine Patent steoIer.

A contributor to New Ideas says that as
Thomas A. Edison watched the pumping

atory day or two ago a man said to him:

cover, don't you, Mr.. Edison?"

4 suppose you do it so you will reap the
benefit of your discovery" was the reply.

Edison, "and don't suppose you will be-

L would be glad to give to the public for

world who are continually on the lookout

of something new he hustles to the patent
office to see if it is patented. If it isn't
he claims it is an original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like as not, begin a suit with
the man who invented the thing for max
ing or using it. The inventor will say:
But 1 discovered this thing first; l am the

office, where he finds the official claim of

pers are fled long after he made his dis
covery does not help him, for all the other
man does is to hire fellow to swear that
he made the discovery a month or two
prior to the date the inventor claims. 1t
sounds ridiculous, probably. but it is a fact
that there are often races between the in

A Tintype Comedy.


II is singular what a taste youthful hu-
manity has for tintypes. says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. Let the average
young man and woman get away from
home and find themselves in the vicin-
Try OF a photographer car or cabin and
the chances are strong that they will
enter il in a sort OF shamefaced way and
come forth with a conscience stricken
smirk. No one is ever proud OF a tin
type picture. Nobody thinks OF preserv-
ing them. The fascination Is peculiar
uncanny. Fraukensteinish.
Nor is IL confined alone to the younger
generation. Staid fathers and mothers Oc-
casionally fall victims 10 II and sometimes
it takes the form Of family groups. with
everybody on deck from the grandparents
down 10 the latest baby.
Not long ago certain Clevelander Of
credit and renOwn went up to Put-in-Bay
with an organization of which he is a
prominent member. His wife didn't 60
because ladies were not expected in the
party but she wanted to know all about
it when he got home. In the midst of the
relation tintype dropped from his pocket
and his wife hastily snatched IL from the
floor. As she looked at it her brow dark
ened.
What's this?" she somewhat coldly
asked. Who are these people?"

Never saw EN- before in my life, my
dear. Except BattersOn-yOu know Bat
terson-thats him over there"
Yes, know Mr.. Patterson, but don t
know any OF these other creatures. Kind
~ tell me who this blowsy looking fe-
male in the sailor hat is, this one with
her hand on your shoulder"
Pom my word, my DEAR never saw
her in my life before. You see, there
wasn't much room in the place and-and
We had to stand close"
That's very apparent. I suppose your
friend Patterson is sitting in that chair
with the song and dance woman leaning
on him for the same reason"
I tell you, my love, these people were
entire strangers to us. You see, it was
just about starting time for the boat. and
the photographer said we'd all have to be
taken at once if we were taken at all, and
and that's how it happened"
But from the way his wife looked at
him as she doubled up the tintype and
tossed it in the waste basket, he's afraid
she didn't believe him.
