Your correspondent had a conversation
with a prominent b. & o. freight con-
tuctor. which runs as follows:
Well my Republican conductor
friend. how is the railroad business?
and he said in reply:
1 have been railroading for seventeen
years. and this is the hardest time that
I have experienced in the seventeen
years
Your correspondent then asked: In
good times what was your average pay?
and ne said: In prosperous times we
conductors often drew 500 to Sl2o per
month and about sS7 TO $50 on an aver
age. and at present S4S to $51 is about
the average pay each month, adding,
as his train pulled away that he only
got in seventeen days last month, and
il is hardly necessary to say that my
Republican conductor friend said that

HOW HEPAID THE MINISTER.


The wife of well-to-do Vermont
farmer called the attention of her hus-
band to a newspaper article describing
wedding out West, where the groom
had compensated the minister for his
services in farm produce How ridic-
ulous." commented the good old lady.
Her husband smiled. 1T isn't the or
binary thing" he remarked, but. then,
people who live in glass houses mustn't
throw stones"
What do you mean, Jonas Farmer
asked the wife, sharply.
WAL" returned Jonas, when 1
married you. l paid the minister two
pigs. and he gave me 50 cents change"
and with that Mr. Farmer burst into
a laugh, to the great discomfort of his
wife.
I've lived with you thirty years and
1 never heard of that before" she said;
"and l should like to know what you
mean by it. l believe you're saying
that just to hector me"
mo, Mri," answered her spouse,
when his mirth had somewhat subsid-
ed, I'll tell you how it happened.
You know l had been running the
farm fer father before we were married,
and Parson Steadman, who married us,
had just come to town. He wanted a
couple of pigs, and came over to our
place to get them. | was gone, but the
hired man sold them to him by weight,
and they amounted to just S10.35.
"Parson Steadman told the man that
he hadn't the money by him, but would
be over again in few days and settle,
and the hired man told him that would
be all right.
We'll, when we were married | gave
the parson a brand-new $40 bill, one
that | had got clean from the bank for
that purpose,
Next morning, bright and early,
over came the parson to our place He
asked the hired man if l was at home,
and when | came out he was pretty
much surprised to see that l was the
same man that he had married the
night before. He turned kind of red
and looked a little queer, and said he
had come over to settle for those two
pigs, and he took from his pocket that
very $40 bill that I had given him the
night before. and 80 cents besides, and
handed them to me,
Il burst out laughing. and he looked
kind of sober for minute, then he burst
out laughing, too.
of I had recognized you as the man
| owed for the pigs when you were at
my house last night he said, L could
have handed you 50 cents, and we
should have been square
so you see, M'ri, that while we
went through the form of passing the
money back and forth, you were. prac-
tically bought for two pigs, minus 80
nts."-Youuth Companion.

bv the party in a most substantial way
in the past. will without doubt be re-
scented in way that will make itself
felt. Should Mr. White be appointed
over Mr.. Davis. the Senator, who con-
trolls the appointment, will find some
difficulty in explaining some things in
a manner that will be satisfactory to
his Second district constituency. If
the Second district does not get either
of the four Federal appointments there
will be a general demand to know Jne
why and the wherefore. The turning
down of Mr.. Wells, a soldier Of the
Union, and ignoring the claims OF
Davis. another worthy member of the
G. A. r, begins to look like the dis
tinction of wearing soldier button
doesn't count for much in modern day
politics. White and Bowers, neither
of whom ever smelt powder, come
smilingly under the political race pole
ana are dltOl QNu bl4N us E-N'AAAN'
Democrats, OF course, look smilingly
on. because We cannot see that 1t hurts
us any. while Republicans like Davis,
who has always been one OF the
shrewdest fighters in the Republican
ranks. and whose power and influence
has always been felt, is pushed aside.
He has our sympathy, however. 1t
must be remembered. too, that Charlie
Elliott is now in the saddle. Charlie is
bigger than Elkins, for don't he claim
to have made the latter Senator? How
can the creature be greater than the
creator? Seriously. it is understood
that the Senator has promised Davis,
Bowers and White, all three the collec-
torship and is now scheming how to
divide.

It-How Photography Came to th'
aid of One Fair Cycler.
Il was q beautiful and balmy day Of
early summer and sweet Kitty Kamer'
had willingly acQuiesced in the sugges
ton of handsome Jack Dashley that
they enjoy its manifold charms by TAX
ing a tandem spin into the rural sec
tons of New Jersey. Accordingly they
arraved themselves in their up-to-dates'
bicycle garb, crossed the ferry and were
soon speeding along a picturesque high
way. experiencing an exhilarating SEN
sation of mingled pleasure and free
dom.
Kitty was also accompanied on this
auspicious occasion by her kodak, Tor
sad 10 relate, despite her beauty and
general winsomeness, she was an unre-
formab,e kodak fiend, and she deter
mined not to lose the present excellent
opportunity for securing number OF
artistic views. Consequently the ride
suffered frequent interruptions for the
purpose of permitting the fair maid to
press her little button with the neces-
sary neatness and dispatch.
Having proceeded in this manner for
several hours. the riders dismounted in
q charming dell and seated themselves
upon a convenient log to enjoy few
moments rest ere making the home
ward start.
Kitty busted herself with her kodak
while Jack. overcome by the attractive
ness of his companion and the romance
of the situation, suddenly plunged into
an ardent declaration of love. He told
his story very creditably, considering
that the object of his alteration contin-
ued. apparently, to give her entire at
tention to the instrument at her side,
and concluded his passionate eloquence
with touching appeal to her to become
his darling bride He paused with
nervous expectation to receive her an
swer.
But Kittys musical voice failed to
permeate the surrounding atmosphere
with its melihuous melody. So Jack
spoke again.

"what will your answer be-"
Still the provoking silence on the part
of the obstinate damsel continued.
Jacks brow darkened.
20. confound that photograph bust
ness. anyhow" he angrily exclaimed.
This outburst seemed to have the de-
sired effect. Two big, reproachful blue
eyes were raised to his, and the maiden
opened her ruby lips.
q wish, Jack" she said severely
that you would not speak so disre-
spectfully of the noble art of photogra-
ply. Here is your answer.
What the d" began Jack, bewil-
dered. when Kitty interrupted him by
coyly asking:
why don't you open it? It's your
answer"
Still inclined to give way to wrath
full reflections, he unwrapped the paper
and for a moment stared stupidity at the
contents. Then he gave joyous shout
and clasped Kitty to his bosom.
The parcel contained two negatives.

Pictures of women with apparently

these women, CT girls" in undignifed

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THINKS DUP Mt Is MAJoRITY's
sOICE.


sOlCE.
General Hen A. DUPONT was elected
a United States senator from the State
of Delaware, but has so far been denied
admission TO the Senate. j. Edward
Addicks, in the role of the dog in the
manger, prevailed upon one or two of
his adherents TO refrain from voting
for DUPONT the caucus nominee, thus
affording the Democrats pretext u
question whether DUPONT had received
a legal majority OF votes. General Du-
pont being known as sound money
Republican. the silver majority in the
Senate took advantage of the preteXt
which Mr.. Addicks made possible, to
decline to admit him to membership.
The present Legislature OF Delaware,
being under the control of the Demo-
/ Gratis. has ignored the election of Du-
! Pont and has chosen as senator General
! r. r. Kenney. who is classified as a
/ gilverite. Thus there are two men
| knocking at the door of the Senate and
demanding admission on the ground
of having been legally elected in sue
cession to Anthony Higgins, Republi-
/ can. The Legislature which chose Gen-
eral DUPONT was Republican on joint
ballot; the state was then and is now
Republican on national issues. and the
majority of Delawareans are favorable
to a protective tariff and sound money
There is no reason to doubt that the
Senate in denying admission to DUPONT
was actuated by a desire to keep dowr
the sound money membership. He pos
sesses admirable qualifications for the
office. and is more truly representative
of the political faith and aspirations o
his constituents than is his rival, Gen
eral Kenney. who would not now bi
seeking admission to the Senate ha'
that body done its plain duty in seat
ing General DUPONT a duty which !
still incumbent upon Il, and whicl
, should performed promptly in the in
.erest of simple justice and the plainl
recorded will of the people Of the Stat
of Delaware Philadelphia Ledger.
