Little Tommy Thought the Article in
Question Had Been Used
Too Long.

This is one of the yarns of childhood:
Six-year-old Tommie was sent by his
eldest sister to the corner grocery to
buy pound of lump sugar. He played
allies on his way TO the store. and by the
time he arrived there he had forgotten
what kind of sugar he was sent for. So
he took home pound of the granulated
article. His eldest sister sent him back
to the store to get lump sugar. After
the proprietor of the grocery shop had
made the change fer the little lad he en-
gagged Tommie in conversation.
"Tommie," said he, Il understand
there is a new member of your family"
"Yes, sir" replied the kid; 1--WE got
a little brother"
well, how do ysu like that, hey ?" in
quired the groceryman.
Don't like it at ALL" said Tommie;
rather have little sister,"
Then, why don't you change him,
Tommie?"
We'll. we would If we could; but I
don't suppose we can. You see, we have
used him four days now!"

Had No Use for Those Who Always
Talked of Their Troubles.
Il haven't any sympathy for these
people who are always complaining and
whining" remarked the man with the
troubled frown upon his forehead, ac-
cording to the Chicago Times-Herald.
I'm fact, I believe that the men and
women who are always fancying them
selves i'll used and grunbling at other
people ought to be confined just as
much as if they had hydrophobia or
got drunk, but there are some troubles
a man really can't help mentioning.
Now, for instance" he continued,
fretfully, Il don't suppose any man in
Chicago has more real worries than /
have. Ny wife tells me every night
that she's tired of hearing me talk of
them, and the other men in the office
begin to tell funny stories just as soon
as l come around out of sheer aggra
vation, l believe. My children run out
OF the room whenever get ready for
nice, long, confidential chat with one
OF them, and even the dog howls when
1 get ready to talk, I'm nearly always
SO sad. But do not GO round telling
people what martyr to fate and other
people l am. Well, I guess not, my
friend. 1 haven't a particle of use
for a chronic complainer."

klondike TeleEra ph Line Which Was
Wrecked hX the Atlantic e bic.

tnc Atthnt1c Die.
Long ago-in 1S63-64-there was no
cable between Europe and America.
Transatlantic news-even during the
exciting episodes OF the civil war-was
always about a fortnight old, says the
London Mail. The attempt to make q
cable connection had ended disastrous
~, and in this juncture of affairs was or
ganized gigantic enterprise, looking
to the connection of the United States
with Europe via Klondike and Behring
sea. Most electricians and telegraph
experts had made up their minds that
40 miles--which was the distance across
/ the strait-represented the longest
submarine cable could be successfully
worked.
4 company was formed, and what
was known in those days as Russian
extension stock went off at premium
of 60 per cent. In 1868 the line between
New Westminster and the Yukon river
was surveyed. found to be practicable,
aud traversed completely the present
Klondike region.
The line was expected to be finished
in 1867. Even the tariff for messages
was fixed at c s (S25) per message. The
receipts were estimated to yield about
S9,000,000 per annum. The line was
actually constructed from New West
minister along the present route of the
Canadian Pacific railway to Ashcroft,
where il was continued north toward
Behring sea to Fort Stager. 300 or 400
miles beyond Quesnelle. This line is
at this present moment in operation in
portion of the Cariboo country.
Then. in the midst of the whole busi-
ness, after three years of hard work.
came like a thunderclap the news that
the Atlantic cable was q success. Three
million dollars had been expended, yet
the next day Russian extension stock
was not worth the printers ink on It's
surface.

has been to build church for the ben

earnings and no workman to assist him
in the rearing of the edifice, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
With utter disregard of legal meas
ures, Andrew selected two years ago a
site for the church of his dreams, which
he expects to be a monument to his
memory long after he has returned to
dust. The fact that he does not own
the ground has never disturbed him.
When far-sighted white friends urged
him to wait until the ground could be
bought for the purpose he paid no heed
to the proposition, but kept to his orig
inal purpose. Every spare penny was
spent by him for lumber and nails.
The work has necessarily been slow.
but now, after "a months of patient
labor, Andrew gazes with pride upon
the building, which is almost covered.
The old man is said to have some
times denied his family bread that he
might save money for this pet project.

The Gains and Losses.

pages as the returns were received.
Silver sustained some losses. to which
1t is foolish that any silverite blind
himself.
In spite of the wide divergence be-
tween the claims set up by the repub-
lican and democratic congressional
committees. before election. they were
both quite in the main fea-
lures OF the forecasts made by them.
The democratic committee contended
strongly that the democratic gains
would be largely In the eastern states
which polled such a heavy vote for
Mckinley in 1896. The republican
committee asserted with equal con-
hdence that the party wouiu make
gains in the great region west of the

ton. or course. each committee rid

claiming hat its party would hold all
that had been gained in 1896 and show
improvement In other parts OF the
country. But that is politics.
The predictions repeatedly made as
to the certainty OF extensive gains
from the eastern states in democratic
congressional representation have
been fully verified. The Rocky Noun
tain states. too. have held well UP to
the splendid record mode by them two
years ago. notwithstanding the desper-
ate effort OF the HANNAH olcott-Car-
ter combine to give silver a death blow
In It's citadel. This circumstance may
rightly be regarded as fortunate and
very significant; IL makes II plain
that the West will be constant to the
silver cause and will vote right when
ever the financial question comes be-
fore the people. The republican ef-
fort TO debauch the mountain states
is now sure to be abandoned as un-
profitable and as offering no returns.
Two noteworthy facts are suggested
by Tuesdays returns One IL that the
great enthusiasm for the Spanish war

through. pretty generally. notwith-
standing the terrible administrative
scandals connected with the equip

BILE to defeat a wan party. The dem

and vascillating course prior to the
