The Man Who Went to Boss the
Hosting of N Piano.
ssIt seems to me they don't do any
thing now in the same way they did a
long time ago." said man who had
gone up to his house to boss the job. Il
bought an upright piano. and when 1
had paid for it told the agent would
be at the house at stated hour, as L
wished to be present when the piano
was hoisted. / noticed the agent smile,
but he said nothing. thought no more
of it until after 1 had gone home and
noticed the way in which the piano was
moved into my apartment on the fourth
floor. When the men drove up with
their cart, I asked them where the
hosting machine was. One of them
whistled, and the other one said 1t
would be there all right, and he winked
at the fellow with the puckered mouth.
"Then they opened kit of tools and
began taking that piano TO pieces. They
first removed the action, and one of the
men asked where he would take it,
meaning what floor. While he was gone
another man unscrewed the legs which
supported the keyboard. The third man
carried up the legs, and while he was
gone the first man returned and took
up the keyboard which the man with
the screwdriver had taken off. That left
the back and sides of the case and the
sounding board. They were not taken
apart. A fourth man was picked up and
given the job of assisting the three in
carrying up what remained of the piano.
All this was done in about 10 minutes.
1 had nothing to do except to look on.
AS the team moved away one of the
men called back. Well send that hoist
ing machine up later Twenty years
ago my piano was delivered by safe
movers. They took half day to do it. -

Death of Heroes In Fiction.

1t is astonishing what a human in
terest the reading public takes in an
authors heroes and heroines. Mr.
Snowden Ward declares that when
Dickens was writing 1.-The Old Curiosity
Shop" he was overwhelmed with letters
from the most distinguished men and
women begging him not to kill Little
Nell They declared it would be too
cruel and waited on his verdict as an
anxious family on that of the physician.
Dickens did not care to do away with
her himself, but it was necessary that
he should do so. Little Nell was char
acter with too little of the earth earthly
about her to assimilate with those
around her, no matter how well mean
ing they might have been. Her finer
feelings would have made her unhappy,
and the little country churchyard was
the best place for her
And Thackeray. How he was i'm

How he was rated for reducing so noble

ond version of his 1.-The Light That
Failed" in order to please the public,
chided for the unhappy taking off of
Lear and CordeliaI But the public,

THERE is but one way to master
the trusts before the affairs of the
country are entirely under their con-
troll as they are rapidly becoming, and
that is to make their existence and
the principles under which they have
been fattened and developed the is
sues of national politics. Unless this is
done there will in ten years be but
one railroad system in this country,
one great over-towering combine in
the control of each of the various in
dustrial pursuits, the successful ac-
complishment as the result of which
will be to control the price the con-
sumner pays and the price that labor
is paid. And as the price of the prod
uct is raised, the price of the labor
will be lowered. Competition will be
driven into bankruptcy, and the
working men will be discharged
wherever by so doing the act will
swell the dividends on the capital in
vested. This is not an idle pessimistic
view of the outlook. 1t is a logical
forecast of what unchecked present
conditions will produce.

IT is rather amusing to read the at
tacks made by the high protective or
gans upon Andrew Carnegie, charg-
ing him with base ingratitude because
he assumes to criticise the Mckinley
administration unfavorably. they
aver that Carnegie's great wealth is
due to the workings of republican
high protective tariff law. Gratitude,
of course. should dictate that Carne-
gle should stand by and smile upon
everything which that party does.
One thing is certain, every sane per-
son will agree with these organs as to
the source of the wealth of Carnegie
and all others of his kind, but will not
agree with them as to the justice of
such legislation.

of the press system that scarcely had
the thuuders of cannon and shell

Three great problems confront the
American people Their solution will
greatly affect the strongest bulwark
of the federal union. 81
First, is the enactment of libel
laws such as those of California and
Utah. compatible with the institu-
tions Of free press and free speech?
Again, in the fact of the first
amendment shall congress assume
the power to exclude from the mails
all publications which it NAV deem
detrimental to the public morals? Is
such consistent with our Wanted
principle of individual liberty?
Lastly, shall the courts of justice
by the weapon of contempt of court
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, viz =, that congress
may look into the mails and examine
contents of documents passing
through them, exclude whatever they
deem Injurious to the people?
The great respect with which the
American people regard their courts
of justice is not to be-surpassed in any
other nation, and no bench can boast
of more wise and noble men. But.
while we revere them, we cannot be-
lieve them infallible, and the doings
of their courts irreproachable and
without error. The time for men to
don the mantle of Lovejoy is not past,
though the cause he advocated stands
triumphant. The position taken by
Editor McInerney, in discussing the
affair in the Alton city court. has been
lauded much, and the subsequent
charge of contempt of court is a blow
at the freedom of the press.
Rigid federal censorship leads to
the status of an established press, and
an established press did much to pre-
pare the way to the French revolution
and the horrors of the Bastile. State
libel law, federal censorship and judi
cial tyranny, if unrestrained, may
lead to the nations downfall and the
coronation of anarchy and despotism.

any other human face; only in the
paintings of our Saviour by some of the

the keys, the floor on which sat shook
like a wire, and the whole audience

Among the graduates was James F..
Duncan, of Palmyra. ILL.,, who won

the Liberty of the Press" He de-
livered it as an Grafton at the COM
mencement exercises. He said in
part: I'm the light of recent declar-
ations from the platform and pulpit
concerning our new governmental
policy. in the stringency of lately en-
acted laws. and in the fact that Jour-
mails have been arraigned for contempt
of court. there arises today an issue
which affects the very foundation of
our social structure-liberty of speech
and press By that liberty man has
emerged from the darkness of super
stition into the light of a new civiliza-
ton. With that liberty he has dis
seminated knowledge, awakening new
forces and inspiring noble deeds For
that liberty he has become a martyr,
daring to haunt in the fiercest gale
the pennon of truth and the insignia
of liberty. This is Amer;canism.
This is freedom.

WORRY.
What This Foolish, Enervating Hnb-
IL Does For Mankind.


Worry is forethought gone to seed.
Worry is discounting possible future
sorrows so that the individual may
have present misery. Worry is the ia
Their of insomnia. Worry is the traitor
in our camp that dampens our powder,
weakens our aim. Under the guise of
helping US to bear the present and to
be ready for the future worry multi
plies enemies within our mind to sap
our strength.
Worry is the dominance of the mind
by single, vague, restless, unsatisfied,
fearing and fearful idea. The mental
energy and force that should be concen-
trated on the successive duties of the
day is constantly and surreptitiously
distracted and absor bed by this one fix
ed idea. The full. rich strength of the
unconscious working of the mind. that
which produces our best success, that
represents our finest activity, is tapped,
led away and wasted on worry.
Worry must not be confused with
anxiety, though both words agree in
meaning originally, choking" or a
''strangIing, referring, of course, to
the throttling effect upon individual
activity. Anxiety faces large issues of
life seriously. calmly, with dignity
Anxiety always suggests hopeful posi-
bility; it is active in being ready and
devising measures to meet the outcome.
Worry is not one large individual sor-
row; it is a colony Of petty, vague, in
