Little Toms Choice.

A certain small Tom was going out
to luncheon by invitation. His mother
was anxious he should behave well,
but, wisely recalling that simplicity is
the essence of all true politeness, gave
him but one caution: "Act, Tom, as If
you were at home; take what you want
with a Yes, please and decline any
thing with a polite No, thank YOU Be
as honest as at our own table," trust
ing that with his confidence estab-
lished the continual home sowing of
precept and example would bear its
fruit.
At night Tom reported results. 81

"Well, we had baked apples, and
when it came my turn to be served
Mrs. C. said, And now, Tom, which
apple do you want?"
"You told her of course" interpolat
ed his mother as the boy hesitated
little. "You know, l have often ex
planned that it is good manners to give
choice when one is asked"

they had been fooled the train was
running fully thirty miles an hour and
still gaining speed. A few of the more
daring Jumped off, but the results wit
messed by those who remained on the
rapidly moving train discouraged emu
lation. A hasty meeting was called on
the top Of the cars.
"Podeck," as usual, led the men, and,
turning to his ever faithful partner,
Pete, he hurriedly said:
"Pete, let's run ahead and take the
engine"
"'Tain't safe, Red" he said. didn't
you see them fellers watchin' us?
There's about five on the engine"
Podeck saw the point and hedged.
"Well, boys, 1 guess we're in for it.
What'll we do now?
McCollum spoke up. lets sue for
peace; I'm willin'."
A rush was made for the caboose,
where Cardigan calmly watched them.
1t was a hard dose to swallow, but no
compromise was now possible.
"Caddigan, you've got US" was Reds
brief introduction. eve want to go
back"
ooh, you do, do you? Aren't you hay
ing a nice ride? It's cheap too. You
are not kicking on the fare, are your"
was Caddigan's rejoiner.
Not word was said until McCollum
in his squeaky voice walled: "Och,
be aisy on us an let US off"
"Well, l guess not" said Cardigan.
''This is a through train; the first
stop is fifty miles out; the fare back
is only 3 cents a mile, and that will
give you a very cheap one hundred
mile ride"
They all began to plead for mercy
at once, and Cardigan relented when
McCollum winningly exclaimed: BE-
dad! We're fifteen miles out now and
/ want to get home to supper. I'm
hungry this minutew
"Well, seeing it's you, I'll let you
off," said Cardigan. "But, remember,
you owe me fare; you forgot to pay it"
A stop signal slowed up the train,
and the men dejectedly dropped along
side the track, a sadder and wiser
party. 1t was an extremely hot day;
they were over fifteen miles from East
Corinth, and a wide stretch of bottom
land lay between them and home. The
road was coal slack ballast and at
tracted the heat. AS old Sol was doing
a little striking on his own account, 1t
seemed that everything in range would
melt. What was said upon that long,
hot, tiresome walk, with not even a
shade tree to rest under, would hardly
do for sensitive souls to hear. Yet,
under the circumstances, the recording
angel possibly stopped his ears and
forgot to chalk up full run.
Next morning the superintendent
found the following telegram on his
desk:
All trains out on time today. Will be
back on No, 20. CADDlGAN.

Tit For Tat.

In the peace congress at The Hague
Lord Pauncefote attracted the atten-
ton of the delegates by taking notes
with a fountain pen the handle Of
which was formed by the shell Of
dumdum bullet. One day the represent
alive of a foreign power, excited by
the heat of the discussion in the inter-
ests of eternal peace, said to him
sharply:
"My lord, it isn't right for you to use
that murderous shell in this congress.
The instruments used by persons are
almost emblematic. They can become
q part of themselves, an expression Of
their ideas and of their personality"
Lord Pauncefote smiled, but said
nothing.
The following day his critic, wanting
to write something, turned to the Eng
fish diplomat to borrow a pen. The
ambassador pulled out of his pocket an
old fashioned pen made of gray goose
Quill and after the borrower had fin
ished said:
Monsieur, it isn't right for you to
use such an instrument in this con-
gress. The instruments used by per-
sons are almost emblematic. They can
become a part of themselves, an ex
preston of their ideas, of their per
sonaltv,"

New Bulletins.

The Experiment Station at Burlington
has just issued three bulletins aggregat-
ing over 100 pages. They describe COM
mercial fertilizers, Vermont grasses and
clovers, and plant poisonous to horses.
No. SO discusses the commercial fertilizer
trade of the state, discloses the char
acter OF the goods sold, and advises
concerning purchases, etc. No. 81 on
grasses and clovers is copiously illus
trated. 1t describes and values the sun
dry hay and pasture grasses and clovers,
discusses the we'd grasses and methods
Of combating them, considers the culti-
walton of grasses and clovers and tells
how to recognize them. 1t will be found
to be an extremely helpful and suggest
i've pamphlet. No. 95 describes the COM
mon horsetail plant now being harvested
in the hay in many portions OF this state.
This plant has probably killed hundreds
of Vermont horses. One horseman who,
IN the last few years has lost several
horses, seeing the preliminary notice of
this bulletin in Vermont paper, inves-
tigated his hay, found the plant therein
and feeds it no longer All three bullet
ms will be sent without charge to any
person who requests them. Back issues
tor several years will likewise be for
warded on request. The applicants
name will, if he requests it, be placed on

tai card addressed to the Experiment
station, Burlington, VT, stating desires,
will be sufficient.

Two members of the Chicago Stock
Exchange went to a restaurant for
luncheon, and after hasty glance at
the bill Of fare each announced what
he wanted.
"I'm for fried bass" said one.
"Ditto," said the other. Waitress,
two fried bass, please"
In a few minutes the two bass on q
platter and two plates were placed or
the table. One bass was larger than
the other, and the financier before
whom the platter had been placed
calmly passed the smaller bass to his
companion.
"Now I call that downright mean
trickW said the man who received the
smaller bass.
"What Is q mean trickW
"Why, to give me the smaller bass
and keep the big one for yourself"
"What would you have done if you
had been serving the fish,"
IT should certainly have given you
the larger one."
"Well, in that case I should have had
the larger one. I've got it now. What
more do you wantY
The argument did not seem convinc.
ing, but at the moment the other man
was unable to find satisfactory an
swer to it.-Chicago Chronicle.

Mrs. Rrn1yning's Appearance.

Mrs. Browning wore her hair in long
ringlets, which, falling very much over
her face and when seen in profile, sug-
gested the unpIeasing idea of blinkers
that harshly cut across the graceful
curves of brow and cheek. 1t was this
style of arranging her dark hair that
made Mrs. Browning look not ole
fashioned, for that would have give
a touch of sentiment, but strange,
out of the fashion. Her slight, prett
figure was rather disguised than 81
off by garments that fell loppin
around her. But, thank heaven, she

AS TO CURING H1ccoUGHs.

Yawning Said to be the Only Certain
 and Speedy Remedy-It Will Always
 Work.
 "Yawning is about the best cure I know of for the hiccoughs," said an ob servant man, land have stumbled on the truth quite by accident. It was proved in my case suhe cure, and by reflection I am convinced that it is perfectly logical result, result ex- plainable, too, on physical grounds. All kinds of remedies are resorted to by men who suffer periodically with hic- coughs, like stapping the ears, and drinking a glass of water slowly and without a stop, or by holding the breath, or counting, or thinking fntently on some subject, and in many other ways. I have tried all of these reme- dies, and at times have been fairly sue cessful in checking the hiccoughs. Again, I have seen each one of these remedies fail. In my own experience, so far as these remedies are concerned, drinking a glass of water slowly and without breathing is the most satisfac- tory. But 1t is torturing enough. On the other hand, the yawn is not only efflcacious, but it is absolutely without any of the torturing features. There is, as said before, probably a good physi- cal reason for the yawn being a good remedy for the hiecoughs. The hic- coughs is, described as being a modi- fled respiratory movement, a spasmodic inspiration consisting of a contraction of the diaphragm, accompanied with closure of the glottis, so that further entrance of air is prevented. The im- pulse of the column of air entering and striking upon the closed glottis pro- duces the sound peculiar to the ailment. It Is reasonable to assume that any thing that would relieve the contracted state of the diaphragm, and would re- open the closed glottis, or partially opeh it, so the air could enter in a normal way, would completely relieve the situ- ation. It would seem that the yawn, which is nothing more than deep, long breath, would ring about this result. While the yawn is supposed to be an involuntary movement, due to drowsi- ness, it Is yet a fact that man can yawn at pleasure. This being true, it is easily within mans power to cure the hiecoughs by resorting to the very simple practice tof yawning. Of course I cannot say that in all cases of hic- coughs the yawn will prove a good rem edy. But I believe, in all ordinary cases, where the annoyance is not ag- gravated, the yawn will do the work. At any rate, my own experience has convinced me. of the fact, and besides there are the physical conditions to which have referred. ."-NeW Orleans Times-Democrat.

 The leadership of the market in point of strength was assumed by Atchis0n, the argument being that the higher : price recently achieved by other stocks warranted an aGyance ia that s+o"k. In the meantime the higher prices for oth- CT stocks were inviting the enormous speculative liquidation Ghich finally bl 1ke the market Dealings continued very large in Union Pacific.

There was rather more doing in other parts of the market than yesterday, but the congestion in the leaders was still acute and there were large portions of the list in which the dealings were quite i insignificant, especially in the industri- als. The market closed heavy, al- though at some recovery from the low lest.
