A Story About Two Men, One Woman
 a Small Dog and Pipe

A Story About Two Men, One Woman a Small Dog and Pipe. William Townsley of Cleveland is fond of telling an especially thrilling story.
 Some time ago" said MT. Townsley, q got on train at Erie, Pa, and
 started for Cleveland. When about
 half way to Cleveland a woman got on
 the train with a small pet dog She
 was refused admittance to the ladies' coach with the dog and the brakeman
 finally suggested that she put the
 little creature in the baggage car.
 She indignantly scorned the suggestion and was finally told that if she wanted
 to brave the discontinue that she might find in the smoking car she could sit there with the dog. Giving the brakeman an indignant glance, she walked into the smoker. She took seat just behind a husky looking com- mercial traveller, who was smoking a pipe.
 After they had gone a little way the woman half-choked with tobacco smoke from the mans pipe, leaned ever and indignantly exclaimed, Sir, you are no gentleman The man took the pipe from his mouth, looked around at the woman and giving her good, long stare, remarked, Is that so?' He reasoned that as the smoking car was made to smoke in and as the woman had no business there, she could stand his tobacco. After his reason- ing he placed the pipe in his mouth again and began to puff great volumes of smoke. The woman became almost speeches. with rage. She stood it as

ADMIItAL hAMPSON.

It has been known for some time that the condition of Admiral Sampson was
 such that he was not likely to recover and the announcement of his death is not surprising. He has been ill for
 nearly two years, and it has been evil dent that there was a general breaking
 down of his system. It is unfortunate that his last days were made bitterly mournful by the controversy which sprang up and ragged over his part in the Santiago fight. It is said that he felt that the people were ungrateful to him. We do not think they were or are. Some of them have not looked at the matter as he and his loyal support CTS have looked at it. but there has been no disposition anywhere to deny or depreciate the great value of his ability, his skill and his services. It is we'll understood that he did his full duty during the Spanish war and that he was patriotic and efficient through out his naval service. Even those who do not sympathize with his side of the great controversy can sympathize with him. and regret that he has had to suf- fer from what seemed to him to be in- iI1stice

Work.

Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest at the desk or loom, In roaring marketplace, or tranquil
 room; Let me but find 1t in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray~- This IS my work; my blessing, not my
 doom;
 Of all who live, am the one by whom This work can best be done, In the right
 way" Then shall l see it not too great, nor small, To suit my spirit and to suit my powers; Then shall l cheerful greet the laboring
 hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows
 fall
 At evcntlde. to play and love and rest, Because 1 know for me my work Is best.

THE ROYAL SHOW IN MADRID.

London isn't disturbed by the fear that it will be unable to accommodate all the people who will be on hand to see the royal show there, but Madrid isn't so easy about the crowds which are expected to visit that city to cele- brate the coming of age of the King According to the calculations of the Duke of A1modovar the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the hotels and lodging houses already existing are capable of housing some twenty-five thousand persons, and perhaps as many more might be lodged in the private houses of friends or relations. On the other hand, if the calculations of the provin- cial governors and the railroad com panies are correct, the number of vis- itors to be provided for will exceed 100000, besides a large contingent from neighboring places who will sleep in their own homes. The government pro- poses to do what it can by building barracks, converting public buildings into temporary hotels, and erecting camps of military tents, but the pros pect is not attractive for foreign sight seers A further complication is added by the scarcity of provisions. The price of meat is already one of the burning questions of the day in Madrid and other large towns. There is much talk of the necessity of forbidding the ex- port of meat, or of suppressng or low ering the existing tariff. The Minister of Finance has already proposed a re- duction in the meat tariff for six months, as a means of temporary re- lief. The question of cheap food, how ever, is rapidly becoming so serious that there is no prospect of disposing of it by any merely temporary eXpedi- ent

It is to be run on business principles, and designed to make reasonable profit, say of per cent.

One of the questions to be considered at the annual meeting of the National Associa tion of Credit Men in Louisville next month is whether receipts in ac- knowledgment of checks or bank drafts are necessary. There is a movement to abolish this custom, and it is receiving considerable support In Denver, Colo rado, all the wholesale grocers have adopted this plan, and it is working with success to the saving of much la bor and postage. A correspondent of Secretary Prendergast in Denver writes him as follows on this subject: We will all concede, I believe that it is great annoyance and considerable eX- pense for us to acknowledge remit tances from our customers, and when a remittance is made by check or bank draft it certainly would appear as though it were useless. We question if many of them are checked up, and if they are not there certainly is but lit tie use of continuing this annoying practice"

A Serious Strike Ayerted.

A strike has just been averted in New

cally equipped elevated lines asked for

summoned in consultation the chief officers

members despite their recent change of
status owing TO the transformation Of the
lines from steam to electrical power. Their
demands were based in large measure upon
this change, which. they claimed, involved
greater responsibilities and difficulties. At

The Rumor as to Coler.

If David B. Hill dominates Bird S. Coler
for governor of New York he will play
very good politics far as his own per-
sonal fortunes are concerned. The strong
men in the party have declined the honor.
Mr.. Coler is probably the strongest man
available. He is one of Mr.. Hills most
loyal friends. If nominated and elected he
will prove no bar to Mr.. Hills presidential
aspirations, but will use his office to pro-
mote them. He is hardly within range of
the presidential lightning himself. If nomi-
mated and defeated he will still be Mr.. Hill s
friend, and will serve him III private sta
ton in forwarding plans for 1904. Mr.. Hill
could not afford to win with a man whose
success would initiate against his own ma
tiCnal ambition. but he can afford to lose
with the best man he can find after the best
men have taken themselves out of the
equation. The New York situation is al
ways interesting. but it was never more
interesting than now

Mr.. Watterson and a Dark Horse.

This Years Majorities.

When Senator Platt a short time ago eX-
pressed the opinion that New York was
now safely republican in politics he was lee
tured for his optimism. But he still holds to
that view. He is quoted now predicting
the reelection of Governor Odell by over
sixty thousand majority. That would show
extraordinary republican strength in the
state Two years after MIR. Mckinley S
record breaking victory over Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Roosevelt, fresh from the army and a most
attractive figure, won the governorship over
a candidate picked out by Richard Croker
by only eighteen thousand votes. Can Gov
ernor Odeli<two years after MIR. Mckinley S
second victory over Mr.. Bryan go Mr..
Roosevelt some forty or fifty thousand votes
better? If he can. and does, he will have
made very brilliant race.
And this leads up to the general question
of ma joritirS this year. The republicans
are expecting to score another triumph both
in the state races and in the matter of the
control of the next House The majorities,
if obtained, will be carefully studied The
comparison will not be with the majorities
of two years ago, but with those obtained
in 1898. If that comparison shows a ma
terial falling off in the republican strength,
the probable effect on 1904 will at once be-
come a SUBJECT OF speculation lie
In 1888 went far to hearten the republicans
for their campaign in 1900. They showed
that the tide was Still! with the republicans,
and that they had but to renominate Mr..
Mckinley ard adhere to their proven poll
cies to score again at the polls.
There are a number of reasons, therefore,
why we may believe that the republicans
are exerting themselves not only TO win
this year, but to win by majorities that
will stand the test of comparison. 1t is
important for them to get their votes to the
polls: to discourage the idea that big vote
in ar off year can be dispensed with. They
are interested III developing the fact if the
fact exists that the tide is still running
with them, and will then be interested in
claiming that the returns of 1902 to
bear the same prophetic relation to the re-
turns of 1904 that the returns of 1898 did
to those of 1900.
1t is unnecessary to say that if the re-
publcans are mistaken in their calculations,
and democratic victory is on the cards for
this year in the state races and in the con-
gTessional races, We shall have as strenu-
Gus politics during the next two years as
ever we have known in the United States
of
