Armour as brakeman.

George A. Sheldon, depot master Of the
Lake Shore station, who died on October
%, after 46. years of continuous service
with the Lake Shore Company, was a YER
liable encyclopedia Of railroad incident
and his well-tofd tales, If repeated in his
own select phrase, would rank as classic
literature, says the Adrian (Mich) cores
pondence of the Detroit News. His narra-
tons were confined TO actualities, thus
giving them a real value He was many
years conductor, and among the best of
the Incidents he related is the following
"One day there stepped aboard my train
a well-dressed business appearing man,
who. as he rendered his fare, remarked:
" 1 see you are stil on the road, Mr..
Sheldon
" Yes, 1 am still at it, I replied, but I
am not certain that I remember YOU,
though 1 think have seen you before
Yes, you have seen me before en-
phasized the passenger, and while you
doubtless have forgotten it, still remem-
Der that you once did me the greatest IA
Vor of my life. Come to my seat when you
get time and IN tell you about it.
When had finished collecting fares ]
dropped into the strangers seat, and he
continued: Years ago I was four days
brakeman aboard your train. At the end
of the four days you took me aside and
remarked in a tone of sympathy: "I'm
sorry to have to tell you so, but the fact
is, young man, you are too much of a fol
TO ever make q GOOD railroader. Take my
advice and quit" took your advice and
went into other business, and the result
is made a fair fortune. thank you Mr..
Sheldon, for your wise counsel
What is your name?' 1 asked.
" Phil d. Armour of Chicago replied
my ex-brakeman, and 1 shall always re-
member your kindness. I was a STUPID rail-
roader, and you advised me for my good -

NOT A CANDIDATE.

The people of the state have not forgot
ten Judge Thomas G.. Lawson, though
they have not heard much of him recent
ly. He is one of the really able men of
the state but he is somewhat out of har-
mony with his party at this time. Changes
take place quite rapidly, however, in the
world of politics, and he may find himself
able to approve the platform declaration
of his party sooner than he now thinks
probable. In the meantime he is resting
quietly at his home at Eatonton. having
the respect of his neighbors. and watching
the approaching contest for the control
of the government.
A few days ago the Eatonton Messenger
called attention to the fact that his name
was being mentioned in different parts of
the state for United States senator, and at
the same time said some very kind, but
true, words about him. Judge Lawson
replied in communication to the Messen-
ger, in which he said that there were good
reason why he should not seek the office
of senator. He pointed out that it was
well known that he was not In full ac-
cord with Democratic leaders, and their
recent policies. Among other things he
said: Il do not indorse the Chicago plat
form in its entirety being opposed to some
of its declarations which our leaders af-
firm constitute, at this day, the vital prin-
ciples of the party. Nor do l favor the
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan for the presiden-
cy." Judge Lawson mentioned some things
he favored which his party is against, and
bo "a he nf aelr ha
support of the Democratic leaders for the
great office of senator.
Judge Lawson is not a time serving pol
itcian, and hence he cannot ask his party
for an Office when he is not in full har-
mony with it, He Is not held in less es-
TEEN because he adhers to his convictions.

The waiter Knows His Men.

You may not believe me. but it is new
ertheless q fact that a great many hotel
and restaurant walters can tell a diners
occupation by his manner Of eating" said
waiter in a restaurant to a Washington
Star reporter recently. "Of course, the
waiter must be close observer of huma n
nature TO determine with accuracy wheth-
er a customer is a scissors grinder of a
banker. But If a man is intelligent and
avails himself of the opportunities his po-
sitiOn affords him for the field of study
he viii soon find that a customer, while
eating, has acquired in the daily pursu-
ance of his calling some habit that will
show itself
For instance. banker may come in,
seat himself and call for an oyster stew.
If he does. as soon as the order is served
ne is APT to begin a search with his spoon
for the oysters that are not visible, just
TO see If there is a miscount.
"A gambler will look around to see if
any one Is watching and then palm a slice
of bread If he orders pancakes he is sure
to slip them one by one from the bottom
as he eats them. The clothing salesma n
WIN hold his pancakes up to the light and
feel the texture, while the keen observer
win notice that. the jeweler upon ordering
pie will hold IL to his ear, shake it and
thin listen, after which he will life off the
top crust with the point of his knife and
examine the inside"
Have you ever made mistake in judg-
ing a mans occupation"
only once. And that could hardly be
called mistake, for I made no decision as
to the mans business. The fellow came
in and ordered his dinner. OF course I
gave him a glass of water. He looked t
Il with some surprise and said: I didn' t
order that?

He thanked me, and what do you think D.?
He broke his bread into it, and then ate it
with a spoon. didn't know what to make
of it, and for the life of me 1 couldn't de
termine what his business was. When he
was leaving 1 tapped him on the shoulder
and asked him outright what he did for a
living
Why he says, I'm a milkman.'

A GuLLIRLE PEOPLE.

The New York newspapers amuse their
readers frequently by their graphic de
scriptions Of the simple minded country
folks who visit that city and become vic
Tins of the gold brick and green goods
swindlers They do not express much pity
for them, because the operations of these
swindlers have been printed so often that
it is assumed that every intelligent per-
son in the country,N ought to be able TO
avoid being taken in by them. But it
seems that all of the simple folks do not
live in the country. There are a few in
New York
In our dispatches yesterday we printed
an account of nearly two columns of
slick swindle in that city by which
large number of people there have been
practically robbed of an amount of money
supposed to approximate 100000. 1t is
impossible to tell yet how much the SWIM
der got but 1t is believed that the fore
going sum is not far out of the way If
it had not been for the newspapers the
swinder would have continued to do a
thriving business, and would not have
been interfered with probably until he had
secured many more millions of dollars.
1t is supposed that everybody of intelli-
gence in New York reads the newspapers
If they do, they do not profit by what they
read in them. The swindle by which so
many of them lost their money was an
old one, and ought not to have deceived a
1O-year-old child. The swindler said that
he would pay ell who deposited their
money with him interest at the rate of 10
per cent week. In other words, he I'M
dertook to give his depositors $500 year
for every dollar deposited with him, and
| to return the principle at any time on one
weeks notice.
He sileneed suspicion and gained the con-
fdence of the simple folks who carried
their savings to him by telling them that
| he had tips from inside men in Wall
| Street which enabled him to speculate so
! successfully that he could afford to pay
Them the enormous interest he promised.
And he did pay the interest, and this is
money he received from his depositors.
and as all of them thought they had a
good thing, none of them called for their
principal, and most of them deposited the
interest as soon as they got it, So anx-
ious were people to get 10 per cent a
week for their money. that they actually
fought for places in the line of those who
collected at the office of The swindler to
deposit their savings
il was only question of time of course
when the sKindler would disappear with
the money OF his dupes, but these intelli-
gent people who laugh at country folks
being vctimized by sharpers when they
visit the city, have shown themselves to

EVIL OF nap COOKING.

William Allen White. who made himself
famous by writing one editorial, What's
the Matter with Kansas" has answered
his own query In a recent article in the
Atchison Globe. The matter, he says, Is
Indigestion, resulting in the various con-
tortions and quick-actiOn emotionals that
have been noted in the states politics
and economies for a long time. The pre-
scription for the aiment he gives in one
word: Cooks" There Is too much mon
key business going on about this. that or
the other cause" he writes. Give men
and women good, wholesome food, and
they will have good, wholesome minds TO
consider public questions in good, whole
some. sensible manner. Populism is the
outward and visible sign of the frying
pan. If the women of Kansas had known
how to broil meat on a hot gridiron, the
men of Kansas would not have made the
state laughing stock for half a decade
and pounded the price of real estate down
to humiliaung point. Fried steak has
no more nutriment than fried shavings
get thousands of pounds Of il are chucked
into the sour stomachs of this town every
month"
There is nothing new about Mr.. Whites
philosophy, except his style in calculating
IL. Bad cooking, and consequent indiges-
ton, are responsible for a very large per
centage of this worlds worries and mis-
cries; and Kansas is not the only state
which suffers in the body polite from the
effects of them. There are others" and
it is not unlikely that Georgia is
one of them. We, too, have the frying
PAN and what may be the effects of it
are often to be seen in the Cuerulousness,
narrow mindedness and suspicion of some
of our lawmakers and others.
The evil effects in the home circle of
bad cooking can hardly be overestimated.
Natures are soured by it, family ties are
severed, and even murder is committed
sometimes because of the shortcomings of
the cook A New York lawyer of promi-
nence is authority for the opinion that
more divorces and more family quarrels
have resulted from bad cooking than all
other causes combined. If 1t is true that
whoever could make two blades of grass
TO grow where only one grew before would
deserve better of mankind, and do more
essential service to his country, than the
whole race of politicians put together"
then 1t must be also true that whoever
could substitute good cooks for poor ones
would hasten the millennium and win the
undying gratitude of mankind.

The board of trustees of the Minneap-
oils Home for Children and Aged Women
has received from ex-Gov. and Mrs. John
s. Pillsbury 100000, to be invested in a
permanent fund, the interest of which is
to be spent toward the maintenance of
the institution.
When the will of Charles E. Moody of
Bath, Me-, was read the other day ii was
discovered that he had revoked an intend
ed bequest Of $4,000 for a new city hall
for Bath. The reason assigned was that
the City Council had refused his request
to set up a street lamp near his residence.

4 QUESTION ron CHICAGO.

The aldermen of Chicago will have a
very interesting question to decide in the
very near future. 1t is said that the labor
unions are going to ask them to refuse po-
lice protection to non-union laborers who
take the places of strikers on buildings
The opinion is expressed that there is
some reason for thinking that the alder
men will accede TO the request. The labor
unions of Chicago would come pretty near
owning the city II the city authorities
should stand by them in their effort to alb
solutely control labor. They would be
able TO Mix their own hours of labor and
the prices for labor
These labor unions are dominated by
pretty much the same spirit that domi-
mates in the formation of trusts. The
purpose of the trusts is to get all they can
for the capital invested in them, and the
purpose of the labor unions is TO get the
best returns possible for their labor. 1t
may be true that trusts do not call on the
police power to assist them in their
schemes for plunderlng the people, but
they depend for assistance upon laws
the tariff laws for instance. AS a mat
Ter Ol lhCl II - Il law Nudl the ldDOT I'M
ions of Chicago want. They are asking
for an ordinance directed to the police de-
partment of that city, prohibiting the en-
ployment of the police in protecting non
union workmen against the attacks OF
union strikers.
1t must be evident that the time Is rap
idly approaching, If it is not already here.
when trusts. whether of capital or labor.
will have to be taken hold of with a
strong hand. Otherwise business of all
kinds and industrial enterprises viii come
to stand still. 1t IL said that in Chicago
building has almost stopped. and that
which is being done, is carried on now I'M
der the greatest difficulties. Labor trou-
bles Of very serious character are apprs-
hended there.
