Kirkwood was entertained yesterday by
q tramp who was O most peculiar speci-
men, says the St. Louis Republic. He
had lot of dogs which he had collected
during his trip from Kansas City, east,
and he had these trained as expert beg
gars. In this way the animals secured
his and their own food. The dogs would
not carry off any honors at the dog show
In all there were six of them. One might
have been three or four generations back
a water spaniel. Two others were small
short-haired dogs that might be classed
as fox terriers. The other three animals
were larger and had been picked up along
the Missouri Pacific somewhere between
Jefferson City and Kirkwood
The tramp who gave his name as
Charles Osborn Hernsey Smith, TO distin-
guish himself, he said, from other Smiths
struck Kirkwood about noon yesterday.
The dogs filed after him in line, like so
many soldiers. If one of them saw a
local animal and attempted to break
forma ton in order to make friends the
tramp would turn on him in a severe man
ner and say, Right dressr' The dog
would line up like a well-behaved pri-
Vate.
Charles, etc, Smith, came to Kirkwood
station and sat him down outside. The
dogs all ranged about him. After resting
a while the queer party started out to get
dinner. The way this was done was sim
pie enough The tramp would go to a
butcher shop. There, after forming the
animals in line. he would give the signal
and all would bark in unison. The dogs
would bark standing up and then bark
sitting down, then all turn around togeth-
er and bark.
This sort of thing soon attracted
crowd, and these were so well pleased
that the dogs or the tramp did not lack
for food Smith seems peculiar a man
as his mastery over animals would i'm
ply. He is young and talks as if he had
had a good education. He referred to his
vagrant existence as a mode of amuse-
ment In a casual way he said he had
been ell sorts of things, but had failed
to find any enjoyment in making money.
and had therefore quit trying.
He remained about Kirkwood until about
o'clock Then he and his queer family
walked leisurely east along the railroad
track.

Her Revenge ON papa.

In a certain Pennsylvania town lives
little girl who has papa that was born in
England, says Harpers Bazaar. She is an
intense Amerioan,t and her papa delights to
tease her by telling her that some day he
will take her to England, where, as the
daughter of an Englishman, she will be
recognized as an English girl. This makes
her very unhappy.
The papa delights to annoy his daughter
also by referring TO the first President of
the United States as &C. Washington" She
thinks it is extremely disrespecful TO say
&C" instead of George" and it does not
mollify her in the least to be told that
Washington was accustomed to write his
name with the simple initial &c"
This little American gets even with her
English papa sometimes. She is fond of
reading stories of the colonial and revolu-
tionary period. Not long ago she read enc
of these stories, and ia the book she found
an illustration which pleased her very
much. Calling her papa to her side she
pointed out picture of a ships deck wi
a man on his knees peeping down a dark
opening in the floor.
DO you see this picture, papa?" she
asked.
Yes, dear"
1T is the picture of an American war
ship

DO you see that hole where that man
is peeping DOWN.
Yes, dear"

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

1t is announced that the Pennsylvania
Railroad has purchased controlling in
terest In the Lehigh Valley Railroad. This
purchase is not matter of much interest
in this section of the country except that
it shows what the great railroad systems
of the country are doing in the way of
consolidation. It has been only a few
weeks since it was announced that the
Pennsylvania had purchased a controlling
interest in the Baltimore and Ohio, tine
Chesapeake and Ohio. the Norfolk and
Western, and more recently, the Long Is
land. 1t has been announced also that ii
has leased the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy.
1t looks very much as If these pur-
chases were made for the purpose of pre-
venting rate cutting. Congress has re-
fused legislation permitting the railroads
TO pool their earnings, and the railroads
have undertaken-at least it appears So
to protect themselves. The big roads are
buying the control of the smaller ones. 1t
is alleged that the New York Central
is acting with the Pennsylvania. These
two great corporations will own a con-
trolling interest in a very large percent
age OF the railroad mileage of the country
in the very near future if, in fact they
do not already. They will then be in "a
position to control rates. Would it not
be better for Congress to enact a pooling
law, and give the Interstate Commerce
Commission authority to fix rates on the
great interstate lines. leaving to state
commissions the duty of fixing them with
in state lines? The railroad rate problem
is one OF the most difficult there Is to deal
with. Competition sounds well. but it
means consolidation sooner or later. The
weaker competitor is ultimately forced to
sale and becomes the property Of the
stronger.

The General Conference of the Methodist
Church, North in session at Chicago, has
settled two questions which have been ag-
itated in that church for long time. 1t
has been decided to admit women to the
general conference ard to abolish the
time limit of pastorates. The pressure to
make these changes has been very great
for years, but until The present conference
the opposition was too strong to be over
come. 1t is a question whether The con-
ference has done wisely in abolishing the
itnerancy. That institution has been
largely instrumental IN building up the
Methodist Church. 1t was a hardship 10
the ministers of course to be transferred
from place to place. They had no perma-
nent homes. They no sooner got well set
tied and made friends than they were sent
elsewhere. But the church became great
and strong under the itinerant system.
The ministers made every effort TO build
up the congregations not only BECAUSE they
we're devoted to their work, but also be-
cause there was a demand for their SER
vices in proportion as they We're success
full. 1t is true, of course, that the bishops
hdQ the power 10 send the ministers Wner-
ever they thought it best for them to go.
but it is probable that they We're influence
ed TO great extent by the requests that
were submitted to them. Still, it often
happened that the very ablest and most
eloquent ministers were sent to the poor
est appointments. In that way the small
er churches of a conference sometimes got
the services of ministers who, from the
standpoint of ability. Were entitled to the
very best appointments. Naturally how
ever, the churches that paid good salaries
were somewhat disappointed when a min
lister was sent to them who failed TO come
up TO their expectations. But the church
prospered. There was such earnestness
and piety in it that the multitude was at
tracted to it, We are mol prepared to say
that there is not just as much enthusiasm
for church work in it now as there was
before the opposition to the tinerancy be-
came so strong, but it does seem that as
the congregations have become Weather
and have wanted to select their minister
and keep them beyond the time permitted
the church has lost some of the intense
religious power which characterized 1t In
its earlier days.

A PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN.

The Prohibitionists of South Carolina
are going to make a great effort to carry
that state They have nominated eandi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant Cover
nor and will support candidates for other
state offices thar declare for prohibition.
The dispensary system has not proved
satisfactory TO a very large percentage
of the people of South Carolina. 1t is a
question whether it is any Improvement
on The saloon system. In fact 1t has some
features which are more Objectionable
than any of that system In South Caro-
lima 1t has been the cause of several scan
dals and number of homicides There
are reasons for thinking it has become
powerful political machine-,a Tillman
machine
1t is doubtful If it has lessened the
drinking of intoxcants 1t is certain. If
all accounts are correct; that the liquors
supplied through it have not been of any
better quality than those obtained
from the saloon. at the same price. There
is no doubt about one thing. and that is
that il has not been the temperance meas.
ure that it was promised it would be. If
1t had accomplished half what its advo-
Gates claimed 1t would there would not be
so much opposition to it. 1t has had a fair
trial and has been found wanting.
The Prohibitionists, If they succeed in
getting a prohibition law. will find that
prohibition does not prohibit Intoxicants
will be sold all over the state, but neither
state counties nor cities will derive any
revenue from II. The only way to promote
temperance successfully is by means of
local option. Get the majority on the side
Of temperance and it will be possible TO
enforce a prohibition law Without that
majority. however. it will be useless to
undertake to enforce 1t. To enforce a law
successfully it must have public send-
ment behind IL.
