On THE PICKET LINE.-A Louisville
boy, an officer in the Philippines, tells
a story on one Of his brother officers
which will bear repeating, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The officer
in question, a captain, shutters badly.
He had been on recruiting duty in the
States, and while at his work had en-
listed for his regiment a man who
suffered as badly, if not worse, than
the captain himself.
Some time later he was ordered back
to his company, and few days after
ward was on duty as officer of the day.
AS it happened, the stutterer that he
had enlisted was, without his knowl-
edge, put on guard that night. When
the captain went around to inspect the
guard he came to the new sentry and
was challenged "Huh-huh-h-halt, who
who-who-who c-comes there?
The captain answered.: "O-o-o-o-offi-
officer of the did-dad-day."
Then the sentry said: "A-a-a-ad-
vance, of-of-f-of-o officer of the-d-day,
to b-bib-bab-be recognized"
By this time the captain was mad all
over, for he thought the man was
mocking him. He did not know the
recruit, although the recruit knew him.
The captain went bouncing up to the
sentry and yelled at him: "W-w- VIII
wh-what -d-d-d-d-n f-f-fool enlisted
y-yu-yay-you?" and the sentry said:
"Y-y-yu-yu-you did, sir"

A QUESTION For THE BARRIERS UN-

that a serious infringement Of the
rights Of the profession is involved:
A man went into a BARRIERS shop to

his watch chain.

A NEWSPAPERS ENEMIES.

The newspaper that makes no enc
mics isn't worth the paper on which 1t
is printed. Every day there Is publish
ed something in a real newspaper
which someone, for their own personal
reasons, would like to have left out. A
newspaper may have a warm friend,
a person who has been friend for
years, it may have done him SO favors;
but let it refuse to do him the hum
dredth, or let 1t say something which
he thinks contrary to his interest, to
tell the truth about him when he does
not want the truth told, and that per-
son becomes an enemy. He Is very
quick to forget the past but he is very
bitter about the present. A publish
er Of a large New York paper, one OF
the most successful papers in that city,
told the writer that he didn't want any
friends, that they were nuisance, and
would want things done by the paper
which the paper was unable to do. or
course this could not apply to Knox
Vile, and indeed we think the view Of
the matter narrow and Selfish. The
Sentinel would like to have just as
many friends as possible and believes
it has a good many. 1t will keep them
as long as it can do consistently, and
it is willing to do anything in its pow
er for their benefit which it consistent
ly can. But we don't want any friend
whose friendship depends entirely on
our doing the way he thinks we ought
to do. Everyone ought to remember
that a newspaper Is in a sense pub
lie institution and is not true to It's
name or aim unless it Is something
more than a personal organ or the Or
gan Of any coterie. The real neWspa-
per represents its entire constituency.

A DEBT OF GRATITUDE.
Senator Elkins Has Worked For
Years to Discharge One.


Senator Stephen B. Elkins has come
to the top again in connection with the
pardon, on parole, Of Cole and James
Younger, who have, for a quarter Of a
century, been serving life sentence In
the Minnesota state prison for the fa-
nous Northfleld bank robbery. This
brings up an interesting incident In
the career Of Senator Elkins, Of West
Virginia.
When the Civil war commenced the
Elkins family was residing in Missouri.
The father and one Of the brothers al
lied themselves with the fortunes Of the
Confederacy, while Stephen enlisted in
the Federal army. At the time the
Younger boys and Frank and Jesse
James were members Of the famous
Quantrell band.
It happened that during one Of the
Quantrell expeditions Steve Elkins was
captured. Quantrell ordered him to be
turned over to a squad Of men and
taken to the rear" The order to
take to the rear" in Quantrells par
lance meant execution, and the pris-
oner was doomed. While Elkins' Gus
todians were conducting their prison
er to the rear, Cole Younger and Frank

WHY DINAH FELT So BAD.-Not long
ago a lieutenant in the navy was or
dered away on a three years cruise.
The order had been dreaded for weeks,
and when it came the young wife, who
was to be left in a Brooklyn fiat with
a baby ind a colored servant, was in
despair.
She controlled her sorrow very we'll,
however, until the actual moment of
parting came, and then she wept as
though her heart would break. The
cruiser was to leave the navy yard
early next morning, and the lieutenant
had gone to report for duty.
In the midst of her lamentations
the young wife heard a shifting and
sobbing in the dining room, and upon
glancing through the door she saw
Dinah, the colored maid, rocking her
body to and fro in a chair and weeping
violently.
"Why, D-D-Dinah, what's the mat
ter?" cried the mistress; "you seem to
t-take Mr.. Blanks departure as much
to heart as d-do."
"'Deed I doesn't, Mis- Blank; deed
I Doesn't" sobbed Dinah. What am
boderin, dis chile am de fac a cullud
gemman friend O. mine am gwine to
sail hisse'f on dat same old cruisah!"

James, both of whom knew Steve we'll,
stopped the party.
Hello, Steve!" said Frank James.
Hello, Frank! Hello, Cole!" replied
Elkins.
When James and Younger found out
what was about to happen to a former
friend, they tried to prevail upon the
guard to turn him over to them. At
first the guards refused, stating as
reason that the captain had ordered
Elkins taken to the rear" Finally,
James and Younger, promising faith
fully to be responsible for the prisoner
to Quantrell, succeeded in prevailing
upon the guards to turn him over.
While the company was riding along
leisurely, with Frank James, Cole
Younger and Elkins we'll to the rear,
a bugle call was blown, and the horse
men were soon in a gallop.
What does that mean?" asked Ell
kins.
Cole Younger replied: 1T means
that we are going into fight, Steve"
In a few minutes the entire company
were in full gallop. Then it was that
Cole Younger turned to Elkins and
said: about half mile further we
are going to come to the forks Of the
road. We will take the right hand.
You put the spurs to your horse and
take the left or you are dead man as
sure as our name Is Steve Elkins."
Elkins needed no further encourage
ment. When the parting of the ways
was reached he laid fiat upon his
horses back and plunged the spurs In
and got we'll out Of danger. An en-
gagement followed soon thereafter, and
Quantrell was under the impression for
awhile that Elkins had been killed.
Elkins never forgot the service rem
dered by Cole Younger and Frank
James. After the Youngers had been
sent to prison for life he was ever
ready to aid them in any possible way.
When he got up in the world and be-
came a power in politics he tried many
times to secure their pardon. He has
made many trips to st. Paul to inter-
cede with the governor Of Minnesota
for them. 1t is related that not long
before the present state administration
went in, he visited st. Paul and called
on Governor Lind and begged that Cole
and James be pardoned, Bob having
died in prison.
Don't you think they have been
punished enough?" asked the senator
"Yes," replied the governor, "and !
would pardon them in minute II
should yield to my impulses. But they
are such notorious men that If I were
to pardon them it might become dan
gerous issue in state politics"
After the new administration was In
augurated, Senator Elkins renewed his
efforts in behalf Of the Youngers. The
Youngers themselves are not more de-
lighted at their prospective release than
is the senior senator from West Vir-
ginia.
This Is the story as Senator Vest re-
lated it to Senator Culberson, and
which was repeated later to Senator
Culberson by Senator Elkins himself.
