As Wisconsin is a great railroad
state, with many thousands of m
ployes in that line Of work, the great
est care is being taken TO have all Of

issue of the campaign between the "
parties. Men in the northern part or
the state have arranged as far as pos
sibIe TO have Michigan railroad man
assume their duties on election day.
provided they could not otherwise so
to the polls. and men in the southern
part of Wisconsin have been making
similar arrangements with railroad
men from Illinois. The parties win
suffer correspondingiy ia Illinois and

less need of the votes in those two

THE NEW SOUTHERN TRAIN.
Crowds Greet the New Arrivals and
Welcome Them Mt Greensboro.
Especial to The MeSSenger.l

Especial to The Messenger.l
Greensboro, n. c., November g.
There were two large and a~ppreciative
audiences at the Southern railway yes
terday to greet the two new trains,
the noon train south and the fast mai
from New York to New Orleans. This
train stopped just long enough for wa
ter and Numbered on it's flying course,
carrying the spoken, printed thought
of the world to waiting thousands in
the sunny south. a practical illustra-
ton of the vastness of this innovation
can be appreciated by the experience
of a gentleman here who received a
registered package at $40 p. m. mailed
in New York at 100 a.. m. With the
improved service Greensboro now re-
ceives Richmond mail at l o'clock and
all the New York papers arrive at 8
in the afternoon of the day of publ
cation.
The noon passenger and mail train
to High Point, Charlotte and other
points is of more real value to those
towns han the fast flyer. 1t will be a
great convenience to passengers every
where, and a great accommodation to
all as it will encourage communication
in a business and social way between
these points, besides preventing the
annoying StOpoverS required from pas
sengers from Winston-Salem. Raleigh
and points east. For that reason, how
ever, Greensboro. from a strictly Sena-
tor Pritchard platform standpoint, n
of dollars and cents alone. will be a
loser. though everybody here is de-
lighted with the improved service.
Both of these new enterprises of the
Southern railway are very highly ap-
preciated by the business and travel

Bowser saunters into the shop
of his family butcher to in
form the man Of meat and
bone that he doesn't know his business
and ought to go to work in a sawmill,
and the butcher bristles up and de-
mands TO know:
What do you know about this bust
ness? L might as well advise you to 90
driving an ice wagon"
Then they have it hot and heavy for
q quarter of an hour. Mr.. BOwser in
sists that the butcher does not know
how to cut up q hind quarter, and the
butcher retorts that BOwser never had
q cook who knew the difference be-
tween Il porterhouse steak and a veal
outlet. BOwser walks out of the shop
declaring hat he will never buy an
other pound of meat from any such
carpenter, and the butcher calls after
him that he can go to Texas with his
custom. In a day or two. however, all
is peace and harmony again, and the
amount of bone with the steak is a
little larger. 1t is the same with MI.
Bowser's launder, his cObbler and his
grocer. If he didn't stir them up once
in awhile, he wouldn't be BOwser. His
family druggist is by no means forgot
ten as he makes his round. When the
man first came into the neighbOrhOOd,
Mr.. BOwser took an early opportunity
to call and remark:
"You are supposed to know your
business as a druggist. and 1 hope you
do. This is no neighbOrhood for a nan

dunno-I dunno. You were gawping
all around the store as you put it up,
and it's only one chance in a thousand
that you haven't worked something
else in"
"Then you'd better leave it." the
druggist would reply.
"Ill do nothing of the kind. If this
turns out to be a blunder, up you go to
a lamppost"
"BOwser, you're a crankrI'
"And you ought to be running q car
penter shop"
Sometimes the druggist would hear
nothing further Of the mixture nor see
Mr.. BOwser again for a week, but on
other occasions his night bell would be
rung furiously at midnight, and upon
rushing downstairs he would find Mr..
Bowser and be greeted with:
81 told you you'd mixed poison with
that cough sirup. You did, I have
taken two doses of it and am almost in
convulsionsi If 1 don't have you dan
Cling from a lamppost before you are
an hour older, then my name isn't
Bowser."
Then Bowser would rush off and
leave the druggist to sweat and swear
through the rest Of the night, and he'd
hear no more of the case for two or
three days. 1t was at such times that
Mr.. BOwser had the best of it, but the
druggist never failed to come back at
him. If Bowser dropped in when there
were three or four other people present,
he'd be publicly saluted with:

evening. Just wait a minute, and I'll

Did it ever occur to you that your name might also appear on the list of those who also ran? When you are swiping your neighbors, very likely your neighbors are swiplng you. You don't know. You can't tell. There is something good, some thing to admire in every man. No person is entirely bad. Did you ever think of that?
