HE KEPT THE RECEIPT.
And an Unjust Suspicion, Eighteen Years
Old, Was Dispelled.

"That time when l was dumped and
robbed in the house of my friends, said
the old politician, Il was SO Disguised that
1 pulled up stakes and decided TO try Il
new community i'm the west. While L was
out there prospecting for n location i came
across II country judge whom had known
as n boy. He had stolen my knife, my
rabbits and my pigeons. He became in
corrigible and was sent to the reform
school. 1t was the popular verdict that he
would never be any good, and he was held
up as u terrible example to the rest of us
boys.
81 thought 1t my duty to give the good
people out there u warning and took II
prominent man of the place into my con-
fidence He had implicit faith in the
squire and believed him as good n man rs
they had i'm the state.
"'It's easily tested / said, 'and you
can't afford to have u dishonest man in his
position. Here's a promissory note given
me 20 years ago, and / Endorsed it at the
time. i loaned that fellow money to get
out of town and turn over u new leaf. He
vowed by all that's good that he'd repay
me, and this Is all l have to show for my
investment. III he's an honest man, he'll
make some settlement
"'Wc1l see, said the squire's friend.
In an hour they came back together, and
the squire gave my hand u wiring that
started the tears. Il paid that paper Is
years ago, he declared Here's the receipt.
i wondered why you never wrote me. ,
There il was With it was a letter from
the man that was then my lawyer, saying
that the note had been mislaid and that
the receipt would serve.
Gin five days the squire and l We're back
to the old town. The man who had bought
the nomination from under me was the
rascally lawyer to whom the money had
been paid. You should have heard the
squire comb the sneak down and then
make him resign i'm my favor. We don't
need men any more honest than that same
justice of the peace that L suspected -

state department that according to cur
rent reports the japanese government
is about to send a commission to WASH

RIVER STEAMBOATS,.
The WesttrA American Specimens Admit
rably Ada ,ted For Their Purposes.

rably Ada ,ted For Their Purposes.
While the western American river steam
err may be improved in some minor points,
IL is in general design and construction,
admirably fitted for the peculiar work that
1t has to do. Considered from strictly
engineering standpoint, 1t is creditable
structure. Furthermore, il Is striking
example of the survival of the fittest.
In comparing the advances which have
been made in the ocean and American
lake marine with those on the western riv-
ers, the latter have generally been made to
appear in an unfavorable light. The fact,
however, has been overlooked in most
cases that the conditions of service are
radically different, and these differences
necessitate, in fact compel, corresponding
differences in the character of the steam
ers. The boilers and engines of the mag
niflcent ocean liners would be as much out
OF place and would fare us disastrously ON
the western river steamboat ms would the
machinery of the latter If transferred to
ocean service. Machinery essentially sim
liar to that employed on the American
lakes has been tried many times on west
ern rivers. Large sums of money have
been spent on experiments, and the result
has always been failure Even the vertical
engine has been abandoned. Barring I'M
important details, the machinery of the
western river steamer Is pre- -eminently
1.-THE right thing in the right place -
1t Is not uncommon for the boats to run
aground, and it is still more common for
the cargo on board to be badly distributed.
Either of these conditions will cause an
immediate distortion of the entire steamer,
and the machinery is thrown out of line.
The peculiar type of engines employed
stands this severe service without injury
or arrangement.
The accepted type of machinery is so
simple and reliable that il can be handled
satisfactorily by small number of men,
and these need not necessarily he highly
skilled, nor of long experience. This is of
some importance in view of the fact that
the months of idleness render it difficult to
retain the best men, and that it is always
necessary to keep the salary account down.
Experiment has demonstrated that the
saving insfuel due to improved machinery
does not, us IL rule, compensate for the
drawbacks accompanying its use, such as
increased weight, space occupied, greater
first cost and less reliability. ii. Bryan
in Casters Magazine.
