WELL said l, ''you remind me of that
nice young man who went to pay a visit to
his best girl, and found her enjoying the
society of another nice young man. He
was very mad. He left the house furious.
He met a mutual friend on the street and
told him his trouble. The friend said:
What did you do?' He said: I showed
them by the way 1 shut the door that I
didn't like IT,"
In the course of a conversation with a
prominent railroad man from the west he
informed me that three -fourths OF the cor
respondence in his office was about passes.
And he made the remark then that 1t would

dear sir, II you were to publish the letters

He answered: "If they did not blush, I
believe the whole country would blush for
them"
A young colored man wanted me to give
him a pass between Baltimore and Wash

knew of any good good reason why the
railroad should give him a pass. He said:
"Well, boss. l am counting a young colored
lady down in Washington. an 1t am

That African never thought of the ex-
pense Of running the trains.
One day l met a man with whom I had a
slight acquaintance. He had just been
elected to the city council by accident. I
proceeded to congratulate him, but he did
not give me time. His first words were:
How soon am l going to get my annual
pass? l want to use it right away"

and asked my boy for my pass. The boy

lost 1t, and / want you to give me another"
His pass was in my desk at that very
moment. 1t had been taken up on the train
Ave days before, for being presented by
the wrong party. He had loaned 1t to that
party himself. and the conductor said in his
report that It was not the first time. either.

A pass beggar came very near getting me
into trouble on one occasion. He had wor-
ried me persistently for several days, and
l had as persistently turned him down.
Finally, he came in one day when the office
was full of people, and the president him
self was in the room conversing with a
party of distinguished visitors.
Wont you give me a pass over the
Baltimore & Ohio?' said he.
why should l give you one?" said l.
Don't you have a pass yourself over the
Baltimore G. Ohio?" he went on.
l was somewhat staggered by the fellows
impudence, but l answered.: II am in the
employ of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
and they give me a pass because l have to
travel over the road sometimes on business
of the company"
"And what do you do when you travel for
pleasure? ?" he persisted.
promptly drew myself up with much
dignity, and with a deep inward assurance
that this time, at least, l was going to
crush him forever, l said: "Sir, l never
travel for pleasure on the Baltimore &
Ohio"
The president looked at me over his

tors opened their eyes, as IL wondering
what 1t all meant. The clerks giggled.
The colored porter grinned. And 1 looked
foolish and felt myself blush clear to the
tips Of my ears. But l held my ground, and
the man went away Disguised.
And he never came back any more
A story is told Of a local agent on a GER
tain railroad. who was convicted of cutting
passenger rates. Under the rules of the
passenger association, in force at the time,
the penalty for the offense was dismissal.
They had to dismiss him. They dismissed
him as local agent, and they Immediately
appointed him general passenger agent OF
that same road, and things went on as be-
fore, only a great deal worse. 1t was not
long before he was brought up again be-
fore the association on a similar charge.
The chairman said 10 him: when you
were local agent, you were discharged
for cutting rates. Now that you are gen.
eral passenger agent, you cut them worse
than ever. How do you account for it?"
He promptly replied: Bigger place."
The manager of a large hotel was con-
versing with a guest. The guest said:
"How is business?"
Bad" said the hotel man
what is the cause?" said the guest.
THE railroads." answered the manager.
THE rates are too high. II the railroads
would reduce their rates 20 or 80 per cent
they would carry many more people, and
they would make up in the number what
they would lose by the re~duction-seeine
they have to run their trains anyway"
Well" said the guest, ut is a bad rule
that won't work both ways. II all the
hotels in the country would reduce their
rates 25 or 90 per cent they would enter
tain many more guests. and they would
make up in the number what they might
lose by the notwithstanding that they
have to keep open anyway"
That manager was mad, instantly. He
said: 'Sir. l want you to understand that
this is a respectable house."

" anything they generally sue

strong as men are, but they
have brains and possess that quality of
enlisting everyone's sympathy in their
cause to bring about what they desire.
There are many instances where wo-
men when put on their mettle have
astonished the world. Just as in other
affairs in life, if a woman will have
health and strives earnestly to that end,
she almost invariably secures good
health. But the great difficulty is for
a woman to recognize that she is suf-
fering from female weakness. The
idea is shocking to her. She imagines
she is the only one among her friends
who is afflicted.

touring Europe, contain descriptions Of

~teristio brevity and pict~uresqueness. In
a letter from Milan. February 2. Father
Mccarthy writes:
There is one prejudice no American
should carry away with him from Italy
that the Italians are a lazy people. They
are as smart as a steel trap and would
not only tan the hide of a flea, but bottle
the odor thereof and sell the same for s. a
smell. The wonder In my capacious mind
is why they are, not the richest people
on earth. Their country is a paradise
even in the month OF February. There
are no people on earth their equals in the
production Of works OF art. At every
corner Of Naples there is a church. 1t
looks ordinary on the outside. but within 1t
is a gem. The Italians We meet with in
America are not a just or adequate repre-
sentation of Italy. II would maze you

WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

A regular meeting of Court Weleh, F. of A., will be held tonight.
 George Harris of Sheffield street is threatened with pneumonia.
 A movement has been started among the residents of this place for the purpose of securing better water rates from the city. At present, the people of Waterbury, who use city water, pay D per cent more for 1t than the people living ill the city proper. For instance, a faucet costs q resident of Main street $6.23 a year, while a person within the old city lines pays but $5. The residents or this place think that this is matter of injustice and wish to see the rate changed. When the first main was put in up in this place, the property owners put it in with the understand ing that the city would take it off their hands when it would pay 10 per cent of the cost. The very first day that the water was turned on it paid 15 per cent. Let the water rates be reduced.

and could not be prevented absolutely. He had no defense to make of many or the cases of torture which had been cited, but the men of the American ar my had been provoked almost beyond human endurance. He recited scores of instances of cruelties and tortures prac- dced by the Filipino insurgents on American prisoners. Men had had their ears cut off, had been disemboweled, had been driven into streams and, while drowning, shot to death; had been tied to trees and stoned to death by women and children and buried alive. Others had been shot and boloed treacherously while succoring the wounded. In the face of these horrible atrocities some of the American troops had been guilty of administering the water cure" Eut the instances of this kind were isolated and no part of the general policy i'll the Philippines. He warmly defended General Chaffee for his conduct of military affairs in the islands and paid brilliant tribute to his heroism and patriotism. As he con- cluded his defense of the American ar- my and the American administration he received cordial applause from the galleries.
 In brief reply MT. Rawlins (Utah) declared that the charges which had been made were not against General Chaffee or the American army, but against the senator from Massachusetts (81r. Lodge) and others who were re- sponsible for the present Philippine policy

A ro,nt on snsrtwa.sts.

A point concerning shirt waists which Is very definite just now, is that to be smart they must be belted with a similar color. A soft white linen belt, stitched along each edge and washable as often as occasion requires will be necessary adjunct to the summer girls wardrobe. Removable buckles may be used or the belt may be gathered and pinned with one of the round pins whose.uses are legion. These belts may be made of any mate rial, but a special touch of complete ness is given when they are of the same material as the waist with which they are worn. With white linen stock stitched with band of the shirt waist color, and belt of the same material as the waist, the simplest outfit will look chic and modish.-Detroit Free

GREEK MoNAsTERIES.
Interesting Facts About Some That Dot the Various Mounts of
 Their Country.

It is a firm belief of the eastern monks of the Greek church that God will not allow a monastery to be burned When the Russian monastery of St. Pantelemon at Mount Athos was burned few years ago the Greeks. who constitute the great majority of the GOO monks on the peninsula, main tained that their Russian brethren had brought the calamity on themselves because they had fire engines and ex- tinguishers and did not trust wholly in God. Now the neighboring Greek mon astery at St. Paul, which had no fire engines. has recently been utterly de- stroyed by fire, says the Chicago Daily News.
 The monastery of St. Paul was one eff the more modern and less populous of the 20 monasteries which dot Mount Athos It was erected in the four teenth century and had less than 60 inmates. But it's reliquary possessed many Byzantine objects of great in terest, the more remarkable being a Byzantine model of Herod's temple and silver cross three feet one inch in length, covered with jewels and ex- quisite miniature portraits of the saints in enamel The library consist ed of about 120 manuscripts, the ma jority in Slavic and a few in Greek. Most of the monks came from the Ionian islands. and, though those is lands passed from the control of Great Britain in 1862, were commonly called .Englishmen" by their core ligionists.
 It is said that the monastery of St. Paul was the only one at Mount Athos which has ever been visited by a wom- an. The wife of a British ambassador landed from her yacht one day on it's tiny pier and insisted on entering the church. In consequence. the monks. relieving each other by relays for 40 days and nights maintained continn- ous. service of prayer to purify the church from this contamina ton.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-In vindica- ton of the administration policy in the Philippines MT. Lodge (Mass0, chairman of the Philippine committee, addressed the senate yesterday. Long before he began to speak the galleries were thronged with people, and the at- tendance on the floor of the senate was unusually large. Mrs. Cowles, the pres ident's sister, was an interested au- ditor. His review of the situation in the islands and of the utterances of the minority in criticism of the conditions there was notably interesting, forcefui and effective. He spoke with deep ear nestness and at times became eloquent.
 Mr. Lodge warmly resented the inn putations cast on the president, the sec retary of war and the army for the al- legged cruelties and atrocities said to have been practiced in the Philippines. He said every effort had been employed by the officials in authority to prevent such cruelties as had been referred to, md measures had been taken to pun ish those guilty of them. Such things, however, were incidents of every war
