One of the most flaming "argu-
ments" used during the last campaign
represented President Mckinley stand
ing before the locked door of the fac
tory with huge golden key in his
hand. The expectant working men
stood near waiting for him to use the
key. The inscription was "to be
opened March 4, 1897. ," The pictures
are not quite so much in evidence
about town nor has any great excite
ment been caused by the opening of
the factories. Has Mr.. Mckinley
forgotten the combination? Or was
the artist who designed this creation
simply Il bad prophet. At any rate
look at this picture might be good
way to convince the deluded laborers
that they had have the goods delivered.

Putting T. stamp Upside Down.

a " :
Folk in general are not nowadays 60
careful as they were years ago in the
matter Of afixing postage stamps to
letters and receipt stamps upon bills,
and many never note whether the
stamps are the right way up or upside
down. It was very different, however,
before the rush and roar of this half Of
the century began, for it was next door
to a crime, in the eyes m many. to affix
3 stamp with the queens head the
wrong way up. Many were not only
under the impression that her majesty
would feel offended but that il she
took the matter up personally or told
officials to act Punishment could fol-

people who look with horror upon q

Among Thorn 8 scheme 20 Keep Com

Among Them 5 scheme % Keep Con-
ductors Honest.
Il is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortal zing the enforced
punching Of variously colored slips BY
street railway conductors to prevent
their holding up the company = ran
riot through the land, and the s buff
trip slips, 3 the pink trip slips and the
blue trip slips" have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
Of the clock faced indicator. This is q
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked BY clever man not unwilling
to divert a few nickels to his own
pocket. In Toronto the company has a
scheme which, so far as any one knows.
has never yet been cireumvented by a
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance Of passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all When collecting, he car
ries around specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or 8 cent piece. The con-
ductor who violates the company g rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end Of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain un-
til more passengers board the car.
The cars Of the trolley line betw cen
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end Of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control Of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached 8
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close up when
they shut. ). s.,ss s 49, & H., 81 ~ 81
The managers Of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
to greater length than tho managers
Of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs Of the seats are provided with
panels for the display Of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers OF the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement
announcements. Exchange.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

IT'S feeting, changeful river,
Blent Of calm and crusted wave,
Flowing in and out forever
Tween the cradle and the grave.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing, ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.
Forms of light and shapes Of shadow
Float upon its troubled breast.
Through the moorland and the meadow,
On; the waters will not rest. 4
Here bud, by churl hand wrested,
Flung into the angry foam.
There a flower with blooms invested
{ Plucked and ravished from its home.
Youth and age, and strength and weakness
Beauty, innocence and sin,
Pride and power, and love and mee.less,
= All in turn are gathered in. (
Time and Death, two grand old warders,
Watch it rise and mark it how.
Death, upon the still seas borders,
Bids the ice wind on it blow. SS
Changeful river fond hearts parting,
In that still and solemn sea
Joined to heal the grief and smarting
Bud and flower with stem shall be.
For DER Time and Death ain angel
Gods strong angel-walks the waves,
Claiming with his trump, Evangel,
All that pass within the grave.
Claiming for his Lord and Master,
By the flaming cross he wears,
ALTHOUGH battered by disaster
All the sullen river bears.

First Duels In ITALY.

The first duels were fought in Italy,
according TO Millingen, who speaks Of q
manuscript discovered at Cassel and de-
soribes duel between father and a
son in the reign Of the Emperor Theod-
ORIG. When Oharlemagne forbade wager
of battle among the Lombards, be en-
oountered the fiercest opposition from
the mobiles. Early in the ninth century
De Medicis, a knight, defeated in single
combat the bandit Mugel, who devastat-
ed the Florentine district now called
after him, Mugello. Ohio II granted
the prayer Of the nobility for the re-
establishment Of wager Of battle in 988.
Women and priests were not compelled
to accept it. Tho Normans showed less
gallantry. With them woman had to
accept, nor could she name champion.
Her male opponent, however, was buried
to his waist in the earth. Armed with a
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
oled around him, his weapon being a
ball Of iron at the end OF cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third attempt,
he was vanquished, which meant to
him death with dishonor.
Beocarin says that the reason so many
duels were fought in Italy in the early
days is that where the law does not af-
ford protection one must look to single
combat to retain the respect Of ones
fellow men. In the middle ages the feroc-
ity of Italian duels passes belief. "Any
way of putting an enemy to death
cogni MOODY is good enough" says
one Of their writers. "When an Italian
spares his vanquished adversary" says
Brantome, che mains his arms and
legs and gives him as memento Of his
kindness and generosity a hideous cash
across the face. = Lampagnano practiced
on painted model of Galeazzo Sforza
before he stabbed him. Dueling was
called la schema cavalleresca. -

DONKEY, DOG AND GOAT

Tho Three Great Sights Of Fransconti-
mental Journey. =
1.-The three oldest things that saw
outside of New York." said New
Yorker who had gone overland to Den
yer and returned by water by way Of
Galveston, "were donkey, dog and
a goat. The donkey was the motive
power Of the single bobtail car that
goes up the hill on South Broadway,
Denver. He was an amusing fellow.
After I made my first trip up that steep
hill I was astonished to see the con-
ductor unhitoh the donkey and put him
aboard the car. The dashboard was fit-
ted up as q sort Of stall, and he stood
there sideways when the car started
back down the hill under its own i'm
petus. The donkey's face took on de-
lighted expression as he found himself
in the role of passenger. He really
seemed to be griaping at the conductor
and the passengers. re-. G.~c,. =,
II saw the dog AZ was about to en-
ter the Taber Opera House in Denver.
The dog was called Bill, and he was
part of the outfit Of cigar store in the
opera house building. He was black
spaniel. He was rugged up in Zouave
trousers and Jacket trimmed with gold
braid, had a tasseled fez on his head
and spectaoles on his nose. The oldest
thing about him was that he sat on his
launches, with his paws in the air,
actually smoking a cigarette like con-
6rmed cigarette fend. found, that he
had been trained to smoke the cigarettes
while the audience was going into the
theater as an advertisement Of his own
er's business. That was the first time
I had ever seen a dog smoking.
II made the acquaintance Of the goat
in tobacco factory in Key West. There
were 200 Cuban girls there, nearly all
of them pretty and all Of them smokers
or chewers Of tobacco. The goat was
their particular pet. He was the biggest
goat ever saw, almost as large as a
Shetland pony. with big branching
horns, and perfectly tame. He playfully
butted the girls or pranced around
among them. His best trick, however,
was the larceny Of their dinner baskets
He used to go nosing around until he
found particularly choice luncheon.
He would knock over the basket, seize
the lunch, and dash outdoors with it.
No amount of ohastisement had ever
broken him Of the trick. Of course
saw wonderful scenery in the journey,
but the donkey and the dog and the
goat were by long odds the most inter-
esting living things that encountered. -
