"But, Mr.. isn't there reef Of
rocks that would be great incon-
venience to you9" "Oh, yesp replied
the witness; Undoubtedly there is,
but we propose to get rid OF it in
such and such a manner" "Very
good" rejoined Coleridge. "but
when you have got rid OF it, would
there not be a very awkward sand
bank to contend With" "Certainly,"
said the witness, "bute gainst it we
should provide thus and thus"
"Well," answered Coleridge, "but
when you have removed both these
obstacles, would you not still have
great deal OF trouble from the
current Of the river when in food7"
l"Clearly," was the answer, "but We
should encounter that difficulty cue
cessfully by another expehieDt"
(Which the witness proceeded to ex
plain). "You have seen the place,
have you not" said Coleridae. "Oh,
yes" replied the other. "Well, |

viii the movement which has been in
augurated by the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania to secure the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of the
people be successful? 1t is very doubtful
though il is certain that there is a strong
sentiment in favor of choosing senator's
in that way. The people are getting tired
of the senatorial deadlocks that are all
the time occurring in Legislatures. There
is deadlock at the present time in Ne
braska, in Delaware and in Montana
There may be others. Besides the dead
lock there is a scandal of greater or less
proportions connected with at least half
of the senatorial elections.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has
adopted resolution asking Congress to
cali convention for the purpose of pro-
posing amendments to the constitution. 1t
was satisfied that the Senate would never
agree to an amendment providing for
the election OF senators by direct vote
Of the people, and SO it adopted this
method for accomplishing the object it
has in view. Before the cali will be man
wo-thirds of the states will have to APP
provo it. The Pennsylvania Legislature
has appointed a committee to urge the
matter before the legislatures of other
states 1t will be necessary for twenty
nine other states to join in making the
call If that number is secured, Congress
will have to call the convention. If the
convention thus called adopts the amend-
ment in question, the amendment will
have TO be ratified by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the states, or by conven-
tons in three-fourths of them before It
will be valid.
1t is a long road and 1t will take time to
travel it. There are a great many peo-
pie who are very much in earnest in the
matter, and by hard and persistent work
they may succeed in bringing about the
change. The chances are, however. that If
they succeed in getting a convention they
will fail in getting the amendment rati.

There is very bright little girl in De-
troit whose mother is now trying to teach
her that she can use her tongue with
both truth and diplomacy, says the De-
troit Free Press. This is a difficult task,
as the child does a great deal of reason
ing for herself and has the straightfor-
ward logic of an unprecedented mind. A
certain incident led up to this training.
The father had a high-salaried position
in leading factory. The institution was
absorbed by a trust and the father thrown
out of employment. In the heat of his
wrath he repeatedly declared that all
trust and monopoly magnates were rob-
bers and thieves, and the little daughter
implicitly believed him. He happens to be
one of those rare men whom it is very
difficult to replace, and he was offered
his former position. But, being shrewd
and knowing his own worth, he was not
to be had except for some stock in addi-
ton to his salary.
So he became part of the trust, but d d
not understand why the little daughter
looked at him SO doubtingly and was
more conservative in the bestowal of her
caresses. One evening there was COM
pany at the house and the host became
involved in heated political debate with
a peppery guest. The former made a
statement which the latter fatty denied
'Why, my dear man. laughed the host,
you don't mean to call me a liar?'
mo, he don't" declared the little one
glared at him with flaming eyes, "and
won't have it. My papa is a robber and
a thief but he is no liarI''
Explanation as above was soon secured
from the child, and the hilarity following
the expose was the joy of the evening.

Won Out Through Generosity.

Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston stock
broker who is building a yacht to COM
pete for the privilege of defending the
cussed persons in Boston financial circles,
says the Philadelphia Post.
The copper king is to-day as full of
schemes as he was years ago before he
cut such a figure ION the street" and
when favorite pastime was dropping in
sandescent lamp bulbs behind his patrons,
who were busiIy engaged at the ticker,
in order to see them jump at the explo-
sion.
Mr.. Lawson is a generous man, and be-
fore he so hedged himself about that
personal communication with him became
practically impossible he was the easy
victim of men with hard-luck stories. He
tells with considerable relish of his ex-
perience with a Montana man who be-
came stranded in Boston and applied to
him for loan. He wanted to get home,
he said. and once there could easily re-
coup his losses.
Mr.. Lawson remembered the time when
he had needed friends himself and there
fore sent his clerk with the man 90 pur-
chase a ticket for Helena. He also gave
the man $40 incidental expenses.
Less than a week later Mr.. Lawson met
the Montana man in the smoking room
of an ocean steamer. where the victim of
hard luck was ordering lavishly from the
stewart for a group of men by whom he
was surrounded.
Hello said Mr.. Lawson; II thought
you were going back to Montana?"
80 1 am" replied the Montana man,
"by way of Europe and Asia"
And so you were simply working me-
last week." said the Boston man.
Not az all, Mr.. Lawson" was the re-
ply, but / thought the matter over. sold
my railroad ticket to a scalper, and put
the proceeds into flyer in one of your
coppers and pulled out quite a pile"
He offered to repay Mr.. Lawson the
money advanced, but the offer was de-
clined
