Woman In an emergency is resource
ful to q degree that would astound
some men, as freight agent Of one Of
the railroads that enter St. Louis
found. Men have long lain awake
nights thinking of sheme to beat q
railroad. This little woman didp't quite
succeed. but she would have done so
had not the agent gone back on his
word. The family had decided to move
to western city. The lady called ON
the agent to see how the goods were to
be shipped. He told her she could ship
them according to regular rates or else
charter car. He explained that the
latter would be cheaper If she had
enough goods, and the lady decided to
take car. Now, there are two well
grown boys, and us money Is not over
plentiful in the family she wished to
abrldge expenses as much as possible.
She went to see the agent again and
asked If she could send her two boys
In the car. He told her that she could
not, and, as might be expected, ST,
asked why. He couldn't make her
understand Just why, and when she
asked him II the company never let
anybody 60 along with the goods he
said that they did with stock "If you
were shipping live stock that needed
tending, we would do it. Now, you
haven't COW or horse or pig, and there
would be no use sending any one
along" She appeared to see the point
this time and went away. A day or
two later she came around again and
asked for passes for the two boys.
"Why, madam" said the agent, Il
can't issue any passes. You haven't
any live stock"
YES, have" said the little woman.
"I've bought pig"
Then the agent was in trouble again.
He said he couldn't give passes where
the fare amounted to about SO apiece
for two boys for lonely little pig. She
reminded him Of what he had said and
told him that she had paid 1925 for the
pig for that purpose, and he ought to
be as good as his word. Like all rail-
road agents, he tried to get out Of the
trouble smoothly, but only succeeded
after he hal purchased the pig for
$3.50, an adTance Of two bits" on the
cost.-St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

GOOD GROWING WEATHER.
Corn. Buckwheat and Late Potatoes eatly
Benefited by the Recent Rains.

The weather bureau gave out the
follow report on Saturday: The tenn.
perature was quite uniform and slight
ly above the normal throughout the
greater portion of the state. Rains
were frequent and general; over the
eastern part of the state the fall was
heavy Except in few scattered sec.
tions), while in the western half the
showers were lighter but usually suffic-
lent tor crop needs.
Corn, buckwheat and late potatoes
appear to have been especially favored
by the prevailing conditions and made
very good progress; the corn and
buckwheat crops bid fair to be unusu.
ally good; the return from the late
potato crop is still, to a great extent.
a matter of speculation, but the pro-
giess and improvement during the
last week, if continued for a short
while longer, will insure a fair Weld in

The tobacco crop continued to

is still unfavorable, in fact, the defect

Excites Ridloule and Contempt.

The protest of the machine poll
ticians, in the recent platform
adopted, against the newspapers
which tell the truth about machine
defiances OF law and abuses of the
public, excites only two feelings or
comments ridicule and contempt.
The cowardice Of those who cannot
endure the telling Of the truth is
only matched by the un-American-
ism of those who desire 10 throttle
free speech. If the newspapers
have been slandering the politicians
let the latter seek redress through
the courts if the publishers have
merely told the facts about public
men and affairs, which they ought
TO do, and their readers have a
right to know, the protestations of
the spoilsmen only tend to confirm
the publications. - D0yLsSf05tW In

THE MAORlNE'S PLATFORM.

The Republicans in State Con-
ventiou at Harrisburg last Wednes-
day adopted the following platform:
The Republican party Of Penn
sylvania, in convention assembled,
makes the following declaration OF
purposes and principles upon which
II invites the support of the people
Of our Commonwealth:
In 1896, near the close of the
last Democratic Administration. the
business interests OF the country
were Frustrated, capital remained
uninvested and labor was idle and
unpfoductive. The election of
Mckinley revived our languishing
industries and started the nation on
an era OF prosperity such as it never
knew before. We congratulate the
American people on the good sense
shown in the reelection of Presi-
dent Mckinley. His administra-
ton has met every question with
which it has been confronted in a
wise, patriotic and statesmanllke
manner. In all the vexed questions
growing out of the war with Spain
our national Administration has
shown itself entirely capable and
worthy of the greatest public con-
fidence. Under this Administra-
ton great armies and navies were

Invitation Of The Democracy to Honest

from the political freebooters who
now coutrol it.
We make this fight not as po-
litical organization seeking parti-
san advantage, but in the interest
of ali Pennsylvanians, and will
welcome a closer union with all

pledged to the same purpose. -

national affairs.
When the Democracy went out
of power in our State 1t left to the
Republican party legacy of almost
$40, 900, 900 of debt. This debt, by
wise administration under Republi-
can rule, has been almost entirely
paid. We have increased the ap-
preparations TO the common schools
until we stand at the head of the
American States i'll support of pupu-
lar education. Under Republican
administration there has been paid
each year for educational purposes
more than was appropriated by the
Democratic party i'll their quarter
of century of misrule.
We have increased our .appropri-
ations to charitable and eleemosy-
nary institutions until we can make
the boast that no State between the
two oceans supports these institu-
tions as we'll as does Our own.
Our 1000, 900 of people are in
dustrious. honest, law-abiding and
happy, yet, surrounded as we are
on every side with prosperous busi-
ness conditions, with people happy,
employed and contented, with every
avenue of business and trade fully
occupied, and with the prospect of
the future Frightening and growing
more hopeful, the old historic party
of obstruction and negation sets up
hysterical cry of false pretense,
hypocrisy and insincerity for the
purpose of misleading the people
and regaining lost power.
We commend the wise, patriotic,
courageous and statesmanlike ad-
ministration of Governor William
A. Stone. He inherited from the
preceding administration a deficit
of more than $1,000, 900 in the
State treasury, but by his courage
in reducing extravagant appropria-
tons, by compelling the collection
of delinquent taxes and by admin
istering every department of the
State government on an economic
basis, this deficit has been wiped
out, the floating debt of the State
has all been paid, the public institu-
tions receive their money as soon
as it is due and payable, and the
special appropriations are paid
more promptly than ever before,
and the credit of the Common
wealth is fully restored.
We heartily commend and en-
dorse the wise and benefcent laws
enacted by the late Legislature and
firmly believe that as the people of
the State investigate and consider
the many important acts passed by
that body they will cordially APP
prove of its labors.
We are deeply sensible OF the
great debt which the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania owes to its
representatives in the United States
Senate, Hon, NJ. S. Quay and Hon.
Boies Penrose, for the watchful care
which they have ever given to the
interests of the State, its material
enterprises and the welfare of its
citizens.
