FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

1t is now reported that the Central
New england road will build around
the disputed Wagner farm at East
CRANKY. We hope the report is true
and that trains will be running through
to Springfield before long ...... The
legislature did not adjourn this week.
Altogether it has been lively session
and will be remembered for the Tariff.
vile extension fight. Tho committee
of fifteen" that blocked the extension in
the senate will also be remembered at
the polls next election if any one OF
them should be foolish enough to try to
run on the state ticket.-Lakeville Jour
nal, June 8.
LONG PRAYERS. If there is any par
ticular thing about our religious forms
which requires doctoring it is the long
prayer which has grown to be an almost
inseparable part of the Protestant form
of worship, 1t is nothing unusual to
hear prayer which is prolonged TWEEN.
ty minutes. This makes it almost as
long as the time left for the pastors dis
course. A separate petition is raised
for each and every class of mankind and
for each and every condition of life.
Oucn prayers we DeueFe are as muon
the dread of the average church goer as
was once the hell fire doctrine so cor.
daily laid down. We do not pretend
to be judges of the effectuality or in
effectuality of prayer, but we believe o
few sincere words might find the depths
of devine mercy quite as easy as pro-
longed petition. Personally we had
rather listen to the former, for hanging
onto long distance telephone for
twenty minutes is fatiguing to say the
least. -Torripgton Daily Leader.

. Rather Outspoken.

When a man In the west likes not
another" said n British Columbia man,
, 'he is In no way disposed to hide that
fact under bushel basket or to con-
ceal 1t from either the gentleman dis
liked in particular or the rest Of the
, community in general.
II remember an example of this trait
that came under my notice some years
ago In Idaho. A certain old fellow
named Haas ran a paper there, and he
and Judge Buck, the judge who rem
dered the celebrated decision in the IA
nous Poor Man Tiger litigation, were
sworn enemies. Another old timer
named Cheney disliked Haas and Buck
and had it in for them both.
zone night at Wallace a dinner was
given, at which Buck, Haas and Che
ney were present, and at late stage in
the proceedings Cheney was called up
on for a speech. l don't remember the
! topic he chose or how he brought 1t in,
but when he got through Cheney left
| in the minds OF his hearers no manner
of doubt as to how he felt toward the
other two.
Gentlemen said Cheney as he
| hung unsteadily to the end OF the ia
! BILE, for the wine had been passing
freely, old man Haas says Judge Buck
/ is a perjurer and a blackmailer, and
Judge Buck says old man Haas is a
horse thief and a liar. AS both the
gentlemen are extremely well acquaint-
ed with each other and should know
| whereof they sneak / do not feel call
ed upon to dispute either statement
"And then he sat down, amid tumul-
tuous applause."-New York Tribune.

Senatorial Repartce.

Once In the senate chamber John j.
ingalls, was directing some remarks to
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,. The
other senator from that state, Mr..
Dawes, having come In while Mr.. In
gals was speaking, thought the words
were meant for his ear, and so, inter-
rupting, he asked Ingalls, IL he was d.
recting the remarks at him. The tall
senator turned slowly around, for Mr..
Dawes sat behind him, and then, with
delicious information, but an instant
wit, he said, 81 was directing my re-
marks to the successor Of Charles Sum-
ner and not to the successor of Daniel
Webster"
The repartee has become traditional,
and the utterance was at once placed
alongside of that reply Of Conkling
to Senator Thurman, which is also ira
ditional in the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking, and Thur
man had said, interrupting him, Does
the senator aim his remarks at me;
he constantly turns to mep when
Mr.. Conkling, with delicious gravity,
bowling to Thurman, with whom he
was very friendly, said: when / turn
to the senator, 1 turn as the Mussul.
man turns to Mecca; turn as | would
turn to the common law OF England
the worlds most copious fount of ju-
risprudence."
