MARIA MUTTON.

appeared at the touch of the electric
bell.
Shortly, these trunks were sent home,

the other in the baggage car on its way
to New Haven, while their respective
owners sat side by side. A curious
combination of facts.
Mr.. Marrowbone had lived 40 years
without giving his heart entirely away
to any woman. MISS Mutton at 35 was
still dear little lambkin, as far as her
tenderest affections went. But as they
sat together in the flying car, the same
cinders trying to get into their eyes, the
same steam whistle shrieking in their
ears, the same boy continually offering
them newspapers, peppermint candy and
chewing gum, something happened
Bachelor and spinster alike felt a soft
ness OF heart quite unwonted.
What a nice man he looks like said
Miss Mutton to herself.
What charming woman thought
Mr.. Marrowbone.
When he shut the window for her she
felt that there were moments when
But no matter,
However, on their arrival at the New
Haven depot they separated, as travel

A Tale
OF
1--WE Tgqgl!nl|kl|gs, Tgqn|kl|gs,

NNTHAT a very peculiar trunk
w said Mr.. Marrowbone, looking
through his eye glasses at large ant
handsome one which the civil salesman
had just dragged from its retreat in th
corner to the center of the room.
Peculiar? Yes sir said the younl
man, lifting the lid and exhibiting th
interior. 'This trunk, sir, was made tt
order for a very wealthy gentleman
in fact we made him two just alike. HI
never wanted them and we are disposinl
of them at a sacrifice
Why didn't he want them {? as keG
Mr.. Marrowbone, who had a streak O
curiosity in his composition. Curious
not TO want what you have ordered
Yes, sir. very curious; but in thi
case there was a complication that ren-
dered the gentleman quite excusable
He committed suicide
Ah. Very wrong said Mr.. Marrow
bone. Very wrong of him.
Quite so SIR replied the salesman
YOU observe the elegant receptacle fol
neckties; this place for your collar box
here lie the shirts, if ycu please. On
the whole. l doubt if you can find any
thing like this in the city
u doubt if can, Just my initials or
it, M. NJ Milton Marrowbone; anc
send it at once
Very we'll, sir; and think you vii
never regret the purchase said the
salesman.
Hardly had he bowed his customel
out of the door when a lady trlpped ul
the steps and entered. She was rather
good looking, her age might have beer
thirty, and her appearance was tha
that which may be described by tht
expression, Just turned out OF band

there-that is exactly what like anc
she pointed to Mr.. Marrowbone's recen
purchase.
Sorry, ma'am, but we haye just sole
that said the polite salesman, conjur-
ing up an expression Of regret which
was quite touching. >But,-here h
allowed a CLEAN of hope to sparkle il
his eye-'but, madam. we have anothe
outwardly similar. differing only in th
interior; one, in fact, more suitable TO
a lady,
Let me see it, said the lady.
Another trunk was trundled from tn
shadows IN the far corner of the shol
and whisked open. The lady peepe(
into it.
Nh take it, she said, after hearing
the price. III take it. I'm in a des-
perate hurry. Put ny initials on i

ALsCHULER on STATE MATTERS.

In Mr.. AIschuler's speeches
throughout the state he has devoted
considerable attention to state mat
tiers. He called public notice to the
numerous scandals that had been IN
earthed during Tanners term. and
declared that a consideration of the
grand jury indictments now pending
against officers of the present admin
istration in Peoria, Cook and Logan
COUNTIES ought to convince the state
administration that it had few ras-
Gals in its own ranks, and common
decency should prevent assaults on a
former democratic administrati IN.
Concerning state taxes, in one of his
speeches Mr.. Alschuler said:
Lone of their boasts is that the tax
levy for the last two years is very
low. The hypocrisy of this statement
is only equaled by their nerve in civ
ing it currency. The tax rate is low
er because the new revenue law hIIs
increased the total valuation of prop
erty infthe state for assessment pur
poses. If the total valuation is low
the tax rate is high, and the higher
the valuation the lower the rate.
Look at your tax rates when you
get home. That's the true test. You
will find you have paid as much taxes
during the three years of the present
administration as you paid during the
four years of Gov. Altgeld's admins
tration.
The aggregate amount of state ex-
penses is now many millions more
than during any year. under Gov. Alt
geld. 1t isn't per cents that count;
it's the dollars and cents you pay.
This only proves the truth of the old
adage that figures don't lie. but the
fellows who use them can lie like
Satan.
The candidates on the democratic
ticket are not pledged 10 follow in the
footsteps of any administration. They
stand on platform higher and broad
