Passing of the carabno.

Even time-honored fixtures must
give way to the advance of modern civ
ilization. The carabao, whose leisure
~ gait Manila has known for So many
generations. shifts the air and rolls his
eyes suspiciously as the clang Of a
gong and the whir Of wheels announce
the approach Of the automobile. Poor
brute; he sees his finish. The horse
less wagon seems destined to become
permanence here, where the level
country permits its unhampered use.
This may be the eventual solution Of
the problem Of drayage in these parts.
Carabaos and Filipino ponies are relics
of barbarism. The heavy draft horses
of Europe and America can not stand
the climate. Therefore why not the
automobile as the general carrier Of
freight for short distances manila

OBSERVED THE TIME LIMIT.
Opportunity 10 Warm His Hands
in Boston.

Treasurer Logee, of the Young
Mems Christian association, tells a
Characteristic story of Boston deliber-
ateness, the moral of which he always
applies to his own hand in the audi
ence's pocketbook, says the New York
Tribune.
Not long ago a New York CONNER
cial traveller was riding in a Boylston
street car. 1t was a bitterly cold day.
and, as the New Yorker had mad
vertently forgotten to take his gloves
when he started out, his hands were
nearly frozen.
Presently a spare and prim Boston
woman entered the car, and, gathering
her skirts tightly about her, took a
seat next the New Yorker. In her lap
she laid very imposing fur muff, into
which she thrust one hand, having the
vacant side toward the New Yorker.
A violent temptation 10 thrust his be-
numbed fingers into the fleecy depths
of the muff assailed the traveller. For
a time he resisted courageously, but
at length, as the car shot into the dark
subway, human nature could resist no
longer, and he surreptitiously thrust
one hand into the muff
After a few minutes. when de-
licious sense of warmth was just per-
vading his hand, the Boston woman
turned TO him and observed with great
dignity:
"Sir, you have your hand in my
mufT."
The trespasser began to stammer a
confused apology, but the Boston
woman ignored it, and continued icily:
Sir, l might make trouble for you.
| might call the conductor and have
you removed from the car"
The New Yorker trembled visibly at
this awful threat. The Boston woman
concluded with superb hauteur:
"But, sir, I'd have you understand. /
know my rights as a Boston woman.
and. sir, III give you just 20 minutes
to remove your hand"
The New Yorker escaped Just 10 min.
and SO seconds before the time limit
expired.

A STUDY IN WATERS.
one Proud Spirited Fellow Who Al
ways Warns His Victim When
IL Is Too Late.

To a philosophical observer the
walters of New York furnish an end
less field for study. So numerous are
the restaurants of this great city
and so diverse their nationalities, that
il would seem as if nearly al styles
Of walters in the world are here repre-
scented, says the Tribune. From the
respectful servility Of the French
walters at Delmonico's OF Sherry S
down to the positive truc.4lence Of the
Irish-American walters who sling
hash in the Bowery it is, far cry
indeed; yet each style has its uses,
and the customers would complain i
they missed it.
There is a waiter in Park Row who
affects neither the manners Of Fifth
avenue nor the Bowery. His spirit is
too proud for seryility; his physique
unsuited for truculency. He pursues
the middle course, of always trying
to make the customer feel responsible
for the faults of the service or the bill
of fare. Does he carelessly spill soup
upon the clothes of a patron Of the
place, will he apologize? Never. In a
cheerful and forgiying voice he ex-
claims:
Look out, sir!"
Does he utter the warning before
the coffee slops over and descends be-
tween your collar and neck? Never.
But as it trickles down your spine, he
courteously cries:
Look out, sir!"
Every outrage which he commits
upon the unoffending customer is fol
lowed by this Look out, sirl" and the
odd thing about ii is that nobody slugs
him, but nearly all his victims are
made to feel in some unaccountable
way that if they had done their part
In "looking out" the accident would
not have happened. One day, however,
this impudent waiter met a man who
would not suffer himself so easily to
be placed in the wrong. As a splash Of
gravy fell upon his cuff, and the genial
Look out, sir!" fell upon his ear, he
leaped up, and with whitening seorn
aud in tones which reached the ear Of
the boss at the far end of the room,
exclaimed:
why do you tell me to Look out,
sir| You spilled the gravy on me
without any warning al all. Now you
tell me to look OUT Do you intend to
do IL again ?"

THE oATEMAN.

Al the railroad crossing the gateman
stands,
Turning the crank in his faithful hands.
Bent and wriukled, yet strong and true
To the daily duty tbs his to do.
The sun may shine, or the clouds may
frOwn,
July be torrid, December cold,
Yet there IN his suit Of well-worn brown
He guards the way for the young and old.
Keeping with steady, tireless brain
A watch for the inbound. outbound train,
lie signals the passage Of each through
the town,
As with ''Tinklet" and Tinker the gates
90 down.
How the waiting children caper and dance,
Agd the restless horses curvet ard prance.
How the servant-maids, upon errands bent
View the iutruders WITH discomfort
While heavy car and elegant coach
Rumble along on the shiny rails,
And on the busy ones time eHcroach
With the veXing burden delay entails-
As, mindful Of duty's stern command
In spite Of impotence, Of fret, Of frown,
The gateman puts to the crank his hand,
And steadily turning, the gates GO down.
Oh! I would that on every road to-day
Where sin and fits train hold right Of way,
Some gateman as ready as this might stand,
Turning the crank IN his faithful hand
That ever when danger should threaten
those
Whose path must cross the enticer's
track,
Some gate a-tiukle might interpose.
And hold from disgrace the weak ones
back
Some safeguard be built for unwary feet,
To halt thsm midway IN the perilous street,
And TO signal 70 each, spite OF fret or
frown:
"stand back for your life, while the gates

MOTHER.

What sweet name /! The mere mention of calls up flood of the most sacred memories. It is d name expressive of love, d tem- derness, pathos known to no other name. It is usually the first name the child learns to speak. 1t Is often the last word uttered by the old man in his dying dream.
 God never bestowed upon boy ] greater blessing than that of d precious mother. 1t Is true to nature, although expressed in a tgurative form, that mother Is both the morning and evening star of his lie. The light of her eye is always the first to rise and often the last to set upon mans day of trial. There is an endur- ing tenderness Tn the love of a mother to her son that transends all other affections of the heart. It is neither to be chilled by self isLness, nor daunted by danger, nor weakened by worthlesrness, nor stuffed by ingratltude.

WILL THE PARTY INDORSE TT?

The county central committee met Saturday and did exactly what the little organized clique of Bar ren desired that it should do, and saddled the blame for all the sup posed fraud in the recent primary upon Big Bottom township.
 There is no doubt but that a certain clique of Barren was or- ganized for the express purpose of seeing that this was done. But, how did they do it2 Ah! thereby hangs a tale and upon this subject there will be presented to the de- mocracy of Independence county some interesting facts before this campaign comes to a close.
 A majority of the members of the central committee voted in fa- vor of taking the first count, as made and declared by the board at Batesville, which board was never sworn and which ignored the ap- peals and demands of the judges from this township to recount the ballots from Big Bottom in their presence, and which board, as soon the judges were gone, immediately opened the ballot box and proceed ed to pull out great wads of fraud.
 But let's see what part of the democracy of Independence county this majority of the committed represents, which has deliberately attempted to defeat the will of the party and proclaim to the world that the judges of Big Bottom township - Tom Magness, Ton Dearing and "Docn Lane-are I set of thieves and ballot box stuff. fers.
 Upon investigation, here is what we find: That Liberty, White Riv. CT, Logan, Big Bottom and Rud del townships voted to take the count as turned in by the judges and clerks of the primary.
