In that particular year it happened
that the national political convention
Of which we are speaking was held in
some other town than Chicago, and the
place was crowded
This is how it came to pass that Colo
mel Hankthunder, who went merely as
n prominent citizen OF the republic and
had not taken the precaution to engage
a room beforehand, found himself shut
out of the hotels and compelled to
choose lodgings from a list of eligible
private dwellings.
The woman of the house near the
corner of Fish street and Potato ave
nue., the first residence at which he
called, showed him the only room she
had TO spare.
"That suits me, ma'am," he said
"How much will it cost me for board
and lodging here for the next four
days"
Well" she answered, "this Is not a
regular boarding house, and l am only
taking boarders because l want to ed
ucate my boy for a lawyer, l shall
have to charge you Sc for the foul
days"
Madam" loftily rejoined the colonel
taking out his pocketbook, you vii
never educate your boy for lawyer 10y
giving such an example as that. / vii
pay you $10."-Chicago Tribune.

One of our correspondents tells a sto-
ry of tame snake that was so intel
ligent that one night, while it was
roaming about the house of It's owner,
1t caught a burglar in the dining room.
The snake coiled itself around the legs
of the burglar and with its tail reached
a bell on the dining room table and,
ringing it vigorously, alarmed the
household, resulting in the capture Of
the burglar-Bradford Star.

The Metropolitan Street Railway
company has in its employ philoso-
pher in the person of a Broadway con-
ductor. 1t was late in the evening,
and his car on it's up town trip had
reached the vicinity of the city hall.
AS it passed one of the taller office
buildings a stout woman, clutching
him by the arm, exclaimed:
"Oh, conductor, how many stories
high is that building"
eleven" laconically replied the con-
ductor, without so much as an upward
glance. The woman sank back with a
sigh of satisfaction.
Just then q small man with large
travelling bag rushed in almost out of
breath.
81 say, conductor" he gasped, "what
time can l get to the Grand Central
depotf"
eleven" was the quiet reply.
"Thats good" commented the small
man, evidently relieved.
At this juncture another man climb
ed aboard that wanted to know about
what time the car would reach the
Gilsey House.
eleven" again replied the con-
ductor, with a weary look.
When questioned as to the uniformi-
ty of his answers, he replied:
Eyes. You see, if you hesitate about
answering em, they git worried, but
if you have an answer ready they're
satisfied. Now, about this time of
night, ! always say 'Leven.' It's a

The universal Cry" anteu, n MHh.
Never did the world call more loudly
for young men with force, energy and
purpose, young men trained to do some
one thing, than today. Though hun
dreds of thousands are out Of employ
ment, yet never before was it so hard
to get good employee for almost any
position as today. Everywhere people
are asking where to find a good serv-
ant, polite and efficient clerk, an hon
est cashier, n good stenographer who
can spell and punctuate and is general
ly well informed. Managers and super
intendents of great institutions every
where are hunting for good people to
fill all sorts of positions. They tell us
| that it is almost impossible to find efti-
cient help for any department.
There are hundreds of applicants for
every vacant place, but they either
show signs of dissipation, are rude or
gruff in manner, are slouchy or slip
shod in dress, are afraid of hard work,
lack education or training or have some
| fatal defects which bar them out. Even
| if they are given positions very few are
able to hold them, and so this great ar
my tramps about from store to store,
| from Office to factory, wondering why
others succeed when they fail, why 9th
ers get the positions when they are de-
MED.
The head of one large commercial es-
| tablishment says that the blunders and
mistakes of its employees cost $4,000 a
year to correct, notwithstanding his
utmost vigilance.-Success.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday are
the favorite days in the week for mar

Saturday in towns. Sunday weddings

which take place on Saturday arc

Drinks and Thirst.

1t is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks as rule, increase the
feverish condition Of the mouth and
stomach and so create thirst. Expert
ence shows 1t to be a fact that hot
drinks relieve thirst and "cool off the
body when 1t is in an abnormally heated
condition better than ice cold drinks"

In regard to the resignation Of ~ H.

riers at the Washington city postofiice,
Postmaster Merritt made a statement
yesterday.
He said that when Baker rendered
his resi- gnation he gave as his reason
for doing so that he could improve
himself in other lines Of business.
Mr.. Baker also stated to Postmaster
Merritt that he had slight differences
with Major James q. Bell. Superln-
tendent of Delivery, on sevreal occa-
sions. but that his reason for resign
ing was solely because of his chance
to enter a business where he could
make more money. - Washington

of his most famous works: thirty-two
Of Hayden and other by Schubert. Ros-

MR.. BARTLETTS ACTIVITIES.
HE HAS FORMED MANY BIG CoMBINA-
TIONS BEFORE NOW.

John R. Bartlett the American promoter who
g organizing this big British steel deal. has an
office at No. 2 Wall-st. in this city. He is at
nresent in Paris. The projected amalgamation OF
the British steel and industries is the heaviest
operation in which he has ever engaged. His ex-
pertence as organizer Of the British Oil and
Cake Mills, Limited. broadened his acquaintance
with English manufacturers. That capitalized
at e, 10000.
The story OF Mr.. Bartlett's life is interesting
A. boy he compelled to leave school at the
age OF fourteen years. He found work at carrying
the tapeline FOR a surveying party. When he
seventeen years old he went TO work in a carriage
factory acquired the art of designing and
structng, and three years after. engaged in the
business Of manufacturing carriages for himself in
Haverhill and Boston. Desiring more scope. he
entered on a general mercantile business in Boston
In 1866 being then twenty-six years old. He
tended his connections to New-York to which city
he moved in 1873.
Nj Bartlett organized between 1856 and 1890 vari-
Gus water companies and consolidated water rights
with the result that the companies created now
supply Newark Jersey City. Paterson Passaic,
Montclair, the Oranges and other New-Jersey
towns with water In 1891 he reorganized the
American Cotton OIL Company with a capital OF
s3SCo0,OoO He afterward made president of the
reorganization committee OF the Nicaragua Canal
I fb reorssnisston coatempiated ar tbe %
of his election, afterward becoming president of
the Nicaragua Canal Company, 80
Mr. Bartlett is nov nov fS9neSted 6 with the foowng
limited; the American Pegamoid Company the
Nicaragua Canal Company, the Pennsylvania Iron
Works Company, and the Drawbaugh Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
Mr. Bartlett has evidently communicated nothing
Of his steel plans HIS friends in business in this
country. The report that gigantic steel and iron
combination among the English manufacturers
CONTEMPLATED and indeed, practically under
way was news indeed to the leading wall Street
men and industrial magnafes to whom II was car
ried last night by reporter for The Tribune None
~ them doubted that Mr.. Bartlett could engineer
