IRISH CAR DRIVERS.
Their Wit and B7arney and Aptnens
mt Repartee.

Their wit and B7arney and Aptnens
at Repartee.
A aentlannan named Captain johnson,
who lived in Daikey, some years ago was
driven one dark night from Kingstown to
his residence. The carman, who was dis
contented with the sum paid him, said,
aSure, yer homer will give me trif1e
more than that" "NSt a rap more, re-
piled the captain. Saith, you would If
YOU heard theseews - s'What newss" "Give
me another sbillin, now, apd I'll tell
you," said the driver Captain johnson
gave him the shilling, saying, "Now what
has happenedf'' "Sorra the harm at all,
said the driver, "only I thought you'd not
begrudge little extra for to know that l
druv you all the way without a Inch
pin"
The unforgivable sin on the part OF a
fare, in their eyes, is, needless to say,
stinginess. A commercial traveller told
carman he engaged at his hotel to be quick
to catch the train at Kingsbridge terml-
nus. Pat. thinking he saw an extra shil-
ling in store, hurried along at tremen-
dous speed and pulled up his painting
horse at the terminus just in time for his
fare to Jump into the train, but the reward
he got was an extra twopence.
A few weeks after Pat, on being called
from ''the stand to the same hotel, recog-
nized in the fare his parsimonious patron.
This time he had to go to the Broadstone
terminus. On he went at a violent pace
for short distance, and then, pulling up
slowly behind a big dray, pretended that
he could not pass. Round he went by
Henry street, Moore street, Britain street
all the narrowest and slowest thorough
fares-so that when the terminus was
reached the train was gone and the fare
was left lamenting, with all his luggage
in a heap beside him, and five hours TO
wait for the next chance of transit to the
west OF course Pat was treated to all the
blank blanks in the English language by
the irate commercial traveller, but he cool
" got up on his car, and as he was driving
off exclaimed, "Arrah, did you think
was goin to kill me haste ag' in for tup-
pence?"
A strange request was once made by a
car driver to friend of mine, journalist,
as he was being driven from Loughrea to
Ballinasloe during the Land League agita-
tion in the early eighties. AS they APP
preached lonely part of the road, thickly
wooded on each side, the driver pulled up
and said to my friend, would you mind
changin places, STRIP "Why SOP" asked
my friend. well, sir, to tell you the
TRUTH" replied the driver, there was
land agent fired at down there below
couple Of months ago, and fax it was the
driver they kilt. London Telegraph.

A MAN
LOST.

Lost! No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: was
in the woods going ahead steadily when
1 realized I'd missed the trail. With
cry of Lost y 1 broke into run heed
less or ignorant of the direction I was
going"
The first impulse of man lost in the
woods is to run. The only safe thing IS
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is did
fcu1t, his limbs feel tremulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like a panther from a tree, the thought
leaps on him, "You are lost man"
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities
That is the man we want to talk to.
Disease in almost any form IS gen
orally accompanied by the failure OF the
organs of digestion and nutrition. Re
establish these organs in healthy action.
the blood is at once enriched, the body
nourished aud the general health re-
stored. This result is invariably ac-
complished by DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. 1t is stomach-strength-
ening, nerve-nourishing, understanding,
blood purifying medicine. 1t has cured
thousands who thought their health
entirely lost. The " Discovery is not
a stimaiant and co1stasus no alcohol or
whisky. Sold at4an medicine stores.

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-04-17

Washington, April 16.-The United
State senate has spoken. Its voice is
for war-war until the saffron flag of
Spain shall have been furled In the west
ern hemisphere. and furled forever. Its
voice, too, is for the independence of the
infant republic of the gem of the An
TILES.
Free Cuba and the independence of
the island republic" was the shibboleth
of the senate throughout the four days
of debate which ended tonight. While
the verdict returned was decisive, 1t
is just to say that 1t was not final. Notes
OF discord-almost foreboding in their
tones-were sounded. This foreboding
was not due in any sense to anxiety
about the result Of the impending con-
fiict. 1t was prompted by a fear lest,
IL the action taken by the senate should
ultimately be accepted as final. this
government might become involved in
complications that in future years
would prove serious.
At 9:10 o'clock the Davis resolutions
those reported from the committee on
foreign relations. amended SO as to in
clude the recognition Of the republic OF
SuoC. "cIc PdSsSu Dy a Notc VI VI " 81,
as a substitute for the resolution adopt
ed by the house of representatives. All
day long the contest waged with an
earnestness. energy, ability and elo-
quence seldom equaled. even in the
senate of the United States. From 10
o'clock this morning until the moment
of the final vote the intensity of the in
terest did not abate for an instant. I'm
der the agreement limiting the duration
of the speeches. except in specified in
stances, to Is minutes, every senator
who so desired. had an opportunity to
express his views before the voting had
actually begun-after I O'Clock tonight.
The great speech of the day had been
made by Mr.. White Of California. who
has been consistently and conscientious
the Cuban question. The speech was
a mastery oratorical effort, and attract
ed profound attention from every audi
tor.
No less than % senators addressed
themselves TO the momentous question
under consideration during the day. 1t
was not until the first vote-that on
the amendment of Mr.. Turpie of Indi-
ana. providing for recognition Of the
island republic-had been taken that
the senate was brought face to face
with the tremendous importance Of its
action.
The scene in the chamber OF many
historical debates was one of incom-
