Answered the Last Roll Call.

DIED-April 30. 1899. of catarrhal fever and
paralysis-Thomas Tarpy, aged seventy
two years
Deceased was born at Manchester.
England, February 13, 1927. At an
early age he learned the trade of
machinist, which occupation he fol
lowed after coming to the United
States, which we think was about the
years 80 or So
He enlisted in New York regi-
ment at the breaking out of the war.
After serving awhile as brigade
bugler he was assigned to brigade
band where he served until the close
of the war.
He was twice married. His first
marriage was in England, ttime not
known to us) three children were
born to this union, all of whom to-
gether with the wife died within one
week with typhoid fever at Cleveland,
Ohio, 1--WE think in 1871. The de-
ceased has told us that he was so de-
lerious with the fever at the time of
his unfortunate loss of his family that
he knew nothing of their death or
burial until after his recovery. After
this he drifted westward, in fact,
worked in many places in Colorado,
Nebraska and Kansas. Our personal
acquaintance began with the deceas-
ed about the 18th of March, 1879, at
which time group of about a dozen
men, who were domicfled in I6xl6

himself, and thus he soon became

ogized as one of the old crowd of 70.

PAYING OFF OLD SCORES.
The Unique Means Taken by sIx
Young Men to Even Up with
a COHuette.


There is a young coed at the Univer-
;ity of Chicago who has been doing
OF of thinking lately Ever since her
1ebut in the Midway school she has
oeen one of the most popular girls at
the institution. but unfortunately for
herself and several ardent admirers, she
contracted a coquettish manner, which
caused untold jealousy on the campus.
Several of the boys got together one
eold afternoon few days ago and be-
fore long the conversation turned to
The charming young woman in ques-
ton. Then and there a scheme of re-
venge was decided upon by the six. It
was in effect that all go and call on the
lady the same evening, entering Is min
utes apart. and to regard one another
as perfect strangers as well as inter
lopers. One of the six described the
event as follows:
''It was villainous thing to do, but
the girl is somewhat of joker herself.
and we ali had an old score to pay off.
We carried out the idea to perfection.
I was the first to call and the girl said
she was glad to see me. Before she had
time to say anything else another
young man was ushered in. She was
glad to see him, too. But when the
third young man arrived she was some
what confused and stammered little
over her welcome.

The nickel-ln the-slot machine is
the most vicious of all modern forms
of gam bling, because its invitation is
everywhere and a venture costs but
a trife. The smallness of the stake
makes it appear innocent to the large
class Of minds easily capable of moral
confusion; and many who would de-
cline a venture at cards on moral
grounds see nothing but joke in
S'p!aying the machine" The victims
of this "play' are to be counted by
the tens of thousands, and it is, prob,
ably, responsible for more demorali-
zatIon of cheap but very evil kind
than any other single agency now in
common use. 1t is questionable if
the public sense of Its iniquity is suf-
ficientlY aroused to put stop to it.
True, the legislature has made law
against it; b it is doubtful if it can
be enforced against a thing that peo-
pie generally regard as a joke. 1t
was noted at Salem-where a nickel
machine clinked merrily all day long
in the main corridor of the capitol
that some of those who supported the
Proebstel bill with their votes were
among the most devoted patrons of
mechanical gambler.-Oregonian.

NEW YORK S NEW FAD.

Now that the horseless carriage is
no longer an experiment but a reality
in New York, the residents of Gotham
are discussing the probability of
what they term ''autotrucks" sue
ceeding the drays and vans of com
merce, says the Spokesman1 Review.
While New Workers have always had
the highest regard for the horse in
the abstract, they are now acquiring
q dislike for him because they find
that horse traffic and clean asphalt
streets are not compatible. They
want clean streets and hence they
have decided that the autotruck is a
necessity. They are looking forward
to the days when the horse will be
seen no more on the streets and are
predicting for the era of cleanliness
that will be introduced, great things.
They have expressed the belief that
with the advent Of that era the clean
ly fad will become more popular
that men will cease to spit on the
floor of street cars and that dust will
be thing almost unknown. All this
moves an extremist writing in Har-
per's Weekly to point out that thor
ough cleanliness cannot be secured
until the dog is abolished from city
life. The horseless truck, the writer
argues, is a step in the right direction,
but the crying needs of the metropo-
lis is dogless dog.
If this sort of a thing goes ON it is
difficult to decide where it is going
to end. The gentle, yowing cat will
fall under the ban next. and then an
edict will perhaps go forth against
the Italian family, that traditional
acme of uncleanliness.

Everything Leaks.

Ordinary tumblers will hold water
because the globules of water are too
big to squeeze through the glass. But
glass is as full of holes as sponge, and
air blows right through it, because the
specks of air are smaller than the holes.
Put bell into big globe of glass,
seal up the vessel, pump out all the air,
then ring the bell inside, and you hear
nothing. There is not air enough in the
globe to carry a sound. But lay the
globe aside for month or so, and no
matter how carefully you have sealed
up the neck you will find that you then
can hear the bell when you ring it. Air
has got into that globe-enough any
way to carry a sound has leaked in
through the substance of the glass.
The ordinary incandescent lamp is
glass globe with the air pumped out,
and after few months sufficient air
leaks through to dim the light which
comes from the thread of electrified
charcoal inside.
We can make plenty of vessels to
hold water, but nothing has been made
which will hold air without any leak
age The air sneaks in through holes
which are too small for the human mind
to imagine.
In fact, everything leaks, Answers,

HEARSE DRIVING.
Men Steadily Employed at 1T In the
Larger Cities.

Men Steadily Employed at 1t In the
Larger Cities.
In smaller cities and in the country
the hearse driver may between times
drive other vehicles or engage in some
other work, but in a city of great popu
lation like New York, where, in the
natural course of things, many deaths
occur daily and where many hearses
are used and kept constantly employed,
hearse driving is regular occupation.
There are many hearse drivers in the
city who have been thus steadily en-
ployed for many years. Only careful
and skillful drivers are employed in
this capacity.
The letting of hearses is long estab-
lished custom in this city. Many livery
men own from one to a dozen hearses
and let them to sections and undertake
ers. Perhaps half of the undertakers of
the city do not keep hearses, but hire
of the livery owners So it commonly
happens that in answering calls from
one source and another the hearses
owned by the liverymen are constantly
employed. 1t might be that all the
hearses owned in a stable. whatever
their number, would be called for day
after day and week after week, as regu
larly as SO many carriages or other
vehicles might be, and SO it comes
about that hearse driving is here a
steady occupation, just like any other.
While hearses are commonly driven
to and from the various cemeteries in
and about the city, they are sometimes
driven out of the city to various nearby
cities and towns. Hearses have been
driven to greater distances, but they
are not often driven more than IL or Is
miles away.-New York Sun.

BOILED 1T DOWN
the Sign as 1t Was Designed and as
1t Appeared.


A journeyman halter, a companion
IF DR.. Franklin, was about to set up in
business for himself and wished to have
an appropriate sign to put over his
door, He designed one that bore the fol
lowing inscription: "John Thompson
Halter, Makes and Sells Hats for Ready
Money" Following this was picture
of a hat. But he was not quite certain
Of the suitability Of his sign, and he de-
cided to submit it to his friends for
their criticism.
The first that he showed it to object
ed to the word chatter because it
was followed by the words ''makes
hats" which sufficiently explained that
he was halter The word was struck
out.
The next said that the work ''makes'
was useless because the customers
would not care who made the hats so
long as they were satisfactory and the
price was not too high He struck that
out also.
The third nan said that the words
"for ready money might as well go,
as it was not the custom to sell hats on
credit; every one who bought expected
to pay. These words taken out, and the
inscription read, John Thompson Sells
Hats
His next friend said "sells'' might as
we'll come out, because nobody expected
him to give them away. What, then,
was the use Of the word? "Sells' was
accordingly struck out and chats was
all that remained, following "John
Thompson.
Even this, short as it was, was fur

stood, "John Thompson, with the fig

When the eminent botanist Professor
Altman of Glasgow was small boy,
he had the present Of a silver bit,
whereupon his mother was so worried
with questions as to what he should do
with it that she exclaimed, Greatly,
you had better go to Thomas Elliot's "a
we'll known pharmacist) and buy six
pence worth of patience.
Down the street marched the lad and
demanded of the chemist, ''Mr. Elliot,
please give me sixpence worth of pa
thence.
Mr.. Elliot taking in the situation at
a glance, said: "Certainly, my boy;
there's a chair Just sit down and wait
till you get it. -
Professor Aitmans endeavor to pur-
chase patience was a great success. 1t
made deep impression on the lad and
was one of the factors of his success in
life.
