BUCKED A LOCOMOTIVE.

For some time a large and
vicious bull had been annoying
the railroad men at Whitford
sylvania railroad, and last evening he
became particularly troublesome, driv-
ing all the track men before him. He
would station himself in the middle of
the track and charge every man who
appeared in sight. Apparently elated
with his success in conquering the men
the bull took it into his head to take
shy at a locomotive. Stationing him
self in the middle of the track, despite
the efforts of number of railroad en-
pIoyees to drive him off, he defantly
awaited the approach of a train.
Finally freight running at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour, hove in
sight. AS it drew near the engineer
espied the obstruction and blew long,
loud blast as a warning for the bull to
clear the track. The bull, however, ac-
cepted the locomotives whistle as a
challenge to combat, and sent back
terrific below in answer Then he
squared himself for tremendous leap,
and as the iron monster came rushing
down ON him he made the last dash of
his life, and it was a grand one. There
was loud crash, and the next instant
the 1ifeless body of the bull was flying
through the air, while the fore part of
the locomotive left the rack, so badly
crippled that another had to replace it,
and requiring the wrecking crew to set
things straight. When the fireman
saw the crash was inevitable he leaped
from the engine while the engineer
stuck to his post, thereby averting
wreck.-Philade1phi Record.

VALUE OF A KISS.

"Kisses for Sale" was the inscription
of a signboard attracting many pur-
chasers to one of the stalls of a recent
charity bazaar in Paris, where married
and widowed ladies and young girls
offered their goods. The prices, it
seems, ranged from one franc GO
cents) to two and half francs for a
kiss. This unaesthetic, not to say in
decent proceedings, of which, unfor-
tunately, American church fairs and
charity bazars are mentioned as the
initiators, prompted the Paris Gil
Bias to publish the answers of a num-
Der of well-known Partisan ladies and
gentlemen to it's question as to the
value of kiss. From among the in
teresting replies to the Gil Bias query
the following are especially character
istic:
Maurice Donnay writes: "From a
charity point of view, [ consider the
prices altogether too low. From an
aesthetic point of view, how can you
estimate the value of kiss in cash
There has been once a kiss sold for
thirty silverlings, but, then, that act
hardly affords a rule" Mime. Valtesse
de la Bigne opines: GA kiss possesses
only value when it is given gratuitous-
ly. Purchased, it is, well-a bazaar
kiss" Nine. Raohilde suggests that in
lieu of kisses garters might with more
profit be sold, worn carriers, of course
purchasable directly from their wear
es. eff morality should not be the
gamer, the poor, surely, would be
benefited by this sale" Nine. Camille
Pert thinks: cit is an absurdity to
make such an estimate upon distinc-
tion among kisses. Many widow
for example, is worth more than a
dozen of young girls. Individuality
ought to decide in prices" Mime. de
Peyrebrune considers the prices dis
gracefully low But" she adds, ''it
would be interesting to learn what sort
of kisses obtain the highest price; nc
doubt, those of married women-for-
hidden fruit. y"

The older Transvaal burghers, it is
stated, are not for war unless Great
Britain should make humiliating de-

Britain's preparations for war are

A British cabinet council was held
in London at which, it is understood,
firm, but not final action toward the
Transvaal was decided upon.

THE LAIRD O. CO'CKPEN.

The Laird O. Cockpen he's proud and
he's great,
His mind is ta'en with things o the
state;
He wanted a wife his Draw house 70
keep,
But favor VII wooin' was fashions to
seek.
Down by the dyke-side lady did
dwell,
At his table-head he thought she'd look
we'll;
M'Lish's ae daughter O. Claverse-ha'
Lee,
A penniless lass wi a lang pedigree.
His wig was we'll pouthered and as
guide as new;
His waistcoat was white, his coat II
was blue;
He nut on a ring, a sword, and cooked
hat,
And VIVA could refuse the Laird wi a
that?
He took the gray mare, and rade can
nily-
And raped at the yeti O. Claverse-ha'
Lee:
/" 'Gae tell Mistress Jean to come
speedily ben,
She's wanted to speak to the Laird o
Cockpen."
Mistress Jean was maxim the elder
flower wine:
"And what brings the Laird at sic a
like time?"
She put off her apron, and on her silk
gown,
Her mulch wi red ribbons, and gaed
AVA down.
And when she cam ben, he bowed fu'
low,
And what was his errand he soon let
her know;
Amazed was the Laird when the lady
said ''Na;"
And wi a laigh curtsey she turned
ava.
Dumfounded he was-nae sigh did
he gle;
He mounted his mare-he rade can
nily;
And often he thought, as he gaedI
through the glen,
She's daft to refuse the Laird o. Cock
pen.
And now that the Laird his exit had
made,
Mistress Jean she reflected ON whatshe
had said:
ooh! for ane I'll get better, it's waur
I'll get ten,
was daft to refuse the Laird O. Cock
pen."
Next time that the Laird and the Lady
were seen,
Tkey we're gaun arm-in-arm to the
kirk on the green.
Now she sits in the ha' like a Weel-
,tappit hen
But as yet there's no chickens APP
peared at Cockpen.

ADMIRAL DEWEY DON'T DRINK.
He Let the Glasses Go By.-An AstOnish-
ment to the Politicians.

The newspapers told hundreds of in
teresting or funny incidents in connec-
ton with the great Dewey reception in
New York.
Wine flowed freely at all the feasts
prepared at the expense of the city,
but it was noticed that the great Adj
miral never INDUCED, always letting
the glass pass by. The following oc-
Cured in the Public Ledger's account
of Saturdays proceedings:
"The Admiral fairly split his sides
laughing when the Governor of North
Carolina and the Governor of South
Carolina, who happened to be brought
up together for an introduction, tried
to induce him to take drink after
some one had yelled out: "What was
it the Governor of North Carolina said
to the Governor of South Carolina?"
and chorus of responses came: cts
long while between drinks" Wait
ers rushed up with trays of champagne
anu OllO bWO OONClAOlo COulO hOO
derstand what kind of man Dewey
was if he did not drink"
The victory of Dewey and the Amer
can navy at Manila was grand as an
achievement, is grander in its POSSIBLE
tiles, but if it be true that he who rul-
eth himself is greater than he who
taketh a city, the victory of the mu-
nicipality of the city of New York in
this achievement, was greater victory
than that of Dewey at Manila.
Says an exchanges: "This period in
the history of our country will be des.
cribed in the future as the Dewey ers
just as we think of the Jackson, the
Lincoln and the Grant eras.
individuality is what counts in this
land. We are the greatest worshipers
of true heroism and proved ability
on earth.

ANTITRUST LEAGUE.
A NON-PARTISAN ORGANIZATION FOR THE
PURPOSE OE FIGHTING THE TRUSTS.
M. L. Lockwood Has Issued an Address to
the American People Stating the OBJ
ject of the Movement.

M. L. Lockwood, national president,
Zelienople, Pa, has issued an address
to the American people, which says:
''The object of the American Anti
Trust League is to drive from public
places the subservient tools of the
trusts, monopolies, combines, and COR
porations, and to establish the equal
rights of American citizens in the COM
merce and industries of the country.
To-day in every Legislative hall,
both state and national, omnipresent
stands the lobbyist and corruptionist
of this great railroad, monopoly, trust
combination, which has formed an al
lance offensive and defensive, by
which they control legislation and to
plumber the producers and consumers
of America.
"And, what is still worse, there also
stand the representatives, elected by
the people, who have become de-
bauched and who are the secret SER
wants and instruments of this great
corporate power and are ever ready to
do their bidding, while proclaiming
their devotion to the rights of the peo-
pie We find them everywhere-in the
Legislature, in Congress, in the Sen
ate, and on the Bench. The political
life of this kind of representatives is
made easy. Their denominations are
arranged for them by the political
bosses, who are but the servants of
this power. Campaign funds are fur
nished. The part of the public press
that can be managed is used to eulo-
gize and lionize these subservient
tools. Their elections are managed
| for them.
There also stands the representative
elected by the people, who is true to
principles of manhood and is gov
erned by the promptings of public well
fare. He stands bulwark against the
legislative schemes by which this great
railroad, monopoly, trust combination
expect to plumber the people. He is
obnoxious to the dominating and con-
trolling power, and their emissaries
are sent into his district to undermine
and destroy him politically.
Gin many of our great cities the
street railway traction companies have
created a political despotism. That
man who is ambitious politically, be-
fore he can hope to be nominated to
any position of public trust must first
kneel at the throne.
''The purpose of the American Anti
Trust League is to arouse the only
power on earth that is stronger thar
the power of money in our public life
That power is the patriotic impulses o.

LOWNDES POINTS TO REFORM.
Governor Claims to Have Done Great Things
For Maryland.

Governor Lowndes, State ComptrOl-
Ter Goldsborough and John V. L..
Findlay, nominee for Attorney Gen
eral have forwarded their letters of ac-
ceptance.
Governor Lowndes, in his letter, re-
views the reforms in the election laws
worked out under his administration
through the acts of a Republican Leg
islature. He also lays stress upon the
re-assessment law, which, he says, the
Democrats had often promised, but
failed to give the people. Under this
new law, he says, the burden of tax
alton has been equalized and the tax
able basis in the State increased $780,
600, 200.
The Governor further declares that
by giving minority representation in
the county school boards he has elimi-
mated politics from the schools.
