PaysOn Tucker Had "A Quick Eye and
Pointed Methods.
Two incidents in the railroad life of
Payson Tucker are told that well il
lustrate what q worker he was and
his attention to the details of business.
Several years ago he was up on the
mountain division of the Maine Cen
trail road and looked over the grounds
of one of the stations. Nothing more
than the usual conversation passed,
and he returned to his car and went
back to Portland. Nearly a year pass
ed before he had occasion to call at
the station again, and then he stepped
off the car and asked pleasantly:
''Do you have all the help you want
here"
Yes, sir; all that we need"
"Quite sure you have enough"
Eyes, sir. There is not much to be
done at so small a station"
"Well, l feared you were rushed to
death and could not find time to re-
move that pile of old bricks saw the
last time l was here"
With that the general manager Of
the road stopped over the pile of bricks
and, without removing his kid gloves,
continued the work until the last one
was neatly piled up.
At another time a break had been
committed at one of the stations on
the back road, and the next day after
the notice of the break had been wired
to Portland Mr.. Tucker CHANGED to
pass that way. After looking things
over, Mr. Tucker asked what had been
lost, and the agent quickly ran over
the amount of money and tickets
stolen.
THAT ALP asked Mr.. Tucker, when
the agent had concluded.
Eyes, sir; nothing else"
"That so? said Mr.. Tucker, taking
in the untidy appearance of the room
and station at glance. Il feared some
one had stolen your broom. Perhaps
you have not missed it. / will send
you one."-Presque Isle (Me) Star
Herald.

The Deathlcss Kingdom.

When DER the golden summer Of thy hair
The wintEy SHOWS of time shall fall,
And on the blushing ro8eleaf OF thy cheek
Old age shall trace his enyious scrawl;
When in the limpid azure OF thine eyes
The clouds shall gather, misty, gray
VIII all this passion in my heart for thee
Grow dim and old, and fade away?
All, no, for love abides In endless youth
Though years may come and years depart

Though empires rise and turn to dust again
And nations shatter to decay;
Above them all a deathess Kingdom shines
And love forever holds his sway.

Senator Gear.
From Burlington Hawkeye.

from Burlington Hawkeye.
Senator Gear has left his enduring
impress not only upon the citizenship
as individuals, but upon legislative and
executive departments of the state and
the republic. AS mayor of Burlington,
as governor OF Iowa, as assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, Mr.. Gear devel-
oped and sustained the highest order
of executive ability. He won the hon
orable sobriquet of "Old Business. ="
Emincntly practical, thorough, indus
trious, systematic, he got right at the
core of whatever task he engaged in
and achieved results with surprising
facility.
As legislator he was no less practi-
cal. He was one of the most efficient
members of the house ways and means
committee and co-laborer with VIM.
Mckinley in framing the famous tariff
bill. In the senate he shared with
VIM. b. Allison in the reputation of
effective committee work-the most
useful and valuable of all services in
congress. And like Allison, he rarely,
if ever, was on the wrong side of
public measure. When his record is
studied in detail, it will be found that
Senator Gear was prudent, cOnserva-
tive, practical legislator, never run
ming after vagarles or carried off his
feet by a passing sentiment. He filled
in large measure the order of con-
structive craftsmanship so greatly
needed at Washington, and his work
with its multiform phases, will not be
easily taken up and carried forward by
his successor.
And so, while Burlington bows in
sorrow and sadness of heart, great
commonwealth sorrows over an irrep-
arabic loss. No man is indispensable
to society, yet all men are. 1t is
world of units; withdraw one, it is still
a world yet different. The world is
better or worse because of that unit.
Senator Gears personality has achiev-
ed much in building up Iowa, strength
ening the nation and moulding charac
ter. The great lesson of his life is
service a services founded upon pro
bity of character and kindness of heart.
Clothed with these, such man comes
among his fellows a helper, his career
blooms into benediction and his days
are numbered amid countless deeds
of honorable service that shall be an
everlasting mementO- q solace for
those who mourn, an eXamplar for
those who strive, a beacon for those
who hope.

Value of Telephone Numbers.

"Telephone numbers have an actual

American Bell Telephone company.
"The assertion has strange sound,
but If you think for moment of the

Golf Before n Mirror.

One of the chief teachings in the reli-
gion of style is that to attain to ortho-
doxy it is necessary or at least desira-
Bile to practice daily in front of look
ing glass so as to make sure that all the
motions-of the true style are being cor
rectly carried out.
This always appeared to me very
"hard saying" until had consulted w.
G. Grace, John Roberts, G. b. Fry, X.
s. Ranjitsinjhi, FL. X. Foster, Kraenz-
lein, q. G. Bredin and other champions
of sport.
All the above were unanimous in at-
tributing the high degree of skill to
which they have attained in various
games and sports to the fact of their
having devoted many hours a day from
very early stage Of their careers to

A Poet with visor.


The McMillans of London published
a book of poems by T. e. Brown, which
the English critics lauded because of
the "vigor of the poets descriptive
style" Here is little sample of it re-
ferring to the sailing of a fishing
smack:
so to the jetty gradual she was hfuled;
Then one the tiller took
And chewed and spat upon his hand and bawled
And one the canvas shook
Forth like mody bat. and One. with mods
And smiles, lay on the bowsprit end and called
And cursed the harbor mastes by his gods
And. rotten from the gunwale 10 the keel.
Rat riddled, bilge bsstank.
Slime slobbered. horrible, say her reel
And drag her oozy Hank
And sprawl among the def young waves that
laughed
And leapt and turned in many q sportiye wheel
As she thumped onward with her numbering
draft.
We believe this is poet who could
almost do justice to the Chicago stock
yards. The rhythmic swish of the pie
sticker's knife and the thrilling splash
of the hog in the scalding Vat ought tc
thrill such bard to the Very core OF
his immortal soul. Give us a call

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged in as witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim it is
"principle" that actuates them In these
lawsuits. 1t is bullheadedness, pure
and simple. 1t Is nearly always easy
to "split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits Is that the county Is put to con-
siderable expense. and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury.
Settle your disputes without going to
law. If the man with whom you are
disputlng is not willing to "split the
difference" he will probably accept a
proposition to leave it to three neigh
bors.-Atchison Globe.

A young woman of smart wit and
striking beauty presided at one of the
stalls at Paris charity bazaar. Among
the small crowd which pressed round
the fair vender was n young man of
much assurance, who gazed upon the
girl with freedom and affected to ad-
mire the various fancy articles exposed
for sale, but bought nothing.
''What will you please to buy9' ask
ed mademoiselle, with an exquisite
smile.
"Oh," replied the young dandy, with
languishing look, what l most wish
to buy is unhappily not for SALE"
''Tell me what you wish" she re-
sponded.
"oh, no; dare not declare my wish
es."
Nevertheless let me know what you
wish to buy" persisted the fair sales
woman.
"Well, then. since you demand it,

black hair"
She manifested no embarrassment at
the bold request, but with pair of
scissors Immediately clipped off one OF
her beautiful locks and handed it to the
astonished youth, remarking that the
price was only $100.
Her audacious admirer was thunder

demur, as by this time a group had col
