RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

Running a newspaper is
like running a hotel, with
"a difference that when a per-
son goes into a hotel for a
meal and finds something on
the table that does not suit
him, he does not get up and
utter war whoop, kick over
the chairs, raise hades with
the landlord and tell him to
stop his old hotel ; it's nc
good. He simply sets the
dish that doesn't suit him
aside and wades into some
of the many dishes he does
like.
It is quite different with
some newspaper readers.
They find an article occa-
sionally that does not suit
them, and without stopping
TO think of the hundreds il
does suit, rush off to the
newspaper office with a grand
display of their imbecility
and asininity by stopping
their paper.

marrow, partisan views and
take a broader, grander view

HIRED TRAIN To VISIT FAMILY.

Russell E. Gardner, pres
ident of the Banner Buggy
Company, of st. Louis, char
tered a special train at Alton,
last evening in-order to spend
the night with his family at
the Piasa Chautauqua. Mr..
Gardner and his family have
been at the Chautauqua for
several weeks, and when the
regular season closed decided
to keep their cottage open
for awhile. Yesterday Mr..
Gardner spent the day in his
office in st. Louis and took
the Spread Eagle for Alton
The boat was late and arriv-
ed in Alton too late for Mr..
Gardner to catch the regular
train on the Chicago, Pc
oria and St. Louis for Chau-
tauqua. No other train
would depart for that place
until this morning, but Mr..
Gardner had promised to be
with his family, and he was
determined to do it.
Accordingly, after a few
minutes delay an engine in
the yards was pressed into
service and a baggage car on
the siding was hitched be-
hind it, and the run for Lock
Haven was commenced.
Trainmaster Gridley was
notified of the circumstances
and he held the plug train on
the Grafton Branch at Lock
Haven until the special ar
rived. The run to Lock Ha-
ven was made in fast time

WEIRD MENTAL POWER.

Viggo Lerche. Dane, %
wears old, who recently ar
rived here from COpenha-
gen to visit his uncle, G. Jes-
sen, is astounding the people
at Alto Pass. H., by his
wonderful power over inani-
innate matter.
He will take a wood or
metal object several feet long,
lean it against a wall at an
angle of 40 degrees, focus his
eyes on it and within a few
seconds the object Will raise
slowly to a perpendicular
position and stand for a min
ute or so, then move toward
him or fall back, just as his
will dictates. 1t is positive
" known that there is no
trickerv whatever in his per-
Torrance. He discovered
his power accidentally sew
eral years ago while stu
dent at Copenhagen college.
Lerche has an interesting
personality. He has seen
much of the world and talks
and sings in several different
languages. He is a literal
walking magnet and could
enrich himself by exhibit
ing his powers, but he shuns
notoriety, and can seldom
be induced to practice his
strange gifts.

ONE WIDOWS TRIUMPH
Chicago Inter o cam

Some Kentucky widows
know how to manage things
and some do not. One
would suppose that a widow
who had force enough to Sc
cure an appointment as post
mistress would have force
enough to hold the place
against all corners. How
ever a widow of Newcastle
Ky. permitted herself to be
, superseded BY a man.
The widow Yriggle. who
! was postmistress at another
point in Kentucky, hearing
of the Newcastle widows
misfortune, registered "a vow
that no man would ever get
the better Of her. There was
a Mr.. Kennedy in the town
however. who was on init
mate terms with the Con-
gresham from that district.
Representative Boreing, and
he used his intimacy to such
advantage that he was men
tioned" as the probable sue
cessor of Mrs. Triggle. Mrs.
Triggle recognized the dan
ger and lay in wait for Ken
nedy.
He called at the postoflice
every day. ostensibly to get
his mail, but with the real
purpose Of looking over the
ground. Whenever he call
ed Mrs. Triggle made it a
point to wait on him. She
was good looking woman
and her face appeared IN the
delivery window as a picture,
She fell into the way Of smil-
ing sweetly at Mr.. Kennedy
when she handed him a let
ter. When there was no let
fer for him she threw 50
much soulful regret into her
eyes that Mr.. Kennedy was
glad no letter had come.
He fell into the habit of
calling twice a day and at
times when he must have
known it was impossible for
him to get any mail.
Mrs. Triggle knew it was
impossible and that he came
to see her. In a little while
he knew.she knew he le--es
it was impossible.
Then Mr.. Kennedy propos-
ed marriage to Mrs. Triggle
and Mrs. Triggle was willing
They were we'd. The next
day Mr.. Kennedy was APP
pointed postmaster,
II said no man would ever
get the better of me, then
remarked Mrs. Kennedy,
who was Mrs. Triggle. and
you see | was right.
And so she was.
