once more brought him back to Omaha,
where he has been ever since except the
ten months that he was with the Baltimore
& Ohio at Chicago.
In 1889 the Union Pacific was cut up into
five divisions and Mr.. Dickinson was made
general manager Of the Missouri division.
He remained in this position until the last
Of June, 1890.
Here occurred a crisis in Mr.. Dickin.
sons career and the chain of successive
promotions was suddenly broken. To use
Mr.. Dickinson's own words: 81 then left
the service of the Union Pacific by re-
quest"
This was an interesting affair. w. II
Holcomb was assistant general manager
and 1t was he who requested Mr.. Dickinson
to resign. The ~latter's resignation was
filed on June 30, when the Office of general
manager of the Missouri division was
vacated and on the following day, July t.,
before the news Ct Mr.. Dickinson's retire
ment became generally known, he was in
Chicago, entering upon the position Of
general superintendent of all the lines of
the Baltimore & Ohio west of the Buckeye
state, a position Of much weight and re-
sponsibility.
April, 1891, however, found Mr.. Dickin-
son again with the Union Pacific, his old
mother road, and the circumstance of his
return are among the most interesting Of
any in his entire career. The factsthat he
came back to d~isplace the man who had
caused his retirement, probably is of sec
ondary Importance to the fact that it was
through the personal influence OF Jay
Gould and Sidney Dillon that he was in
duced to return and accept the position of
assistant general manager. Holcomb then
left the road. S. II. H.. Clark was at that
time president of the Union Pacific, and,
while President Clark himself made the
proposition to Dickinson to return and ac-

At this point an elderly man, whom the
minister had married to a very young wife
during the week, rose with a bounce and
stamped down the aisle, muttering loud
enough to be heard all over the chapel:
TT may be an afliction, but I'm blest if l
want to be prayed for in that fashion"
The recent Grand Army encampment in
Washington provoked a good deal of CON-
ment regarding the large numbers of civil
war veterans who are still in good enough
physical condition to endure the fatigue of
a long march. Several southern democrats
were discussing this in a Washington hotel
lobby the other evening, reports the New
York Times, when Secretary Charles A.
Edwards of the democratic congressional
committee said:
"a few years ago Colonel William Green
Sterett and l were sitting at a window
watching the parade at a Grand Army en-
campment. Hour after hour passed and
still the Yankee hosts swept by. Colonel
Sterett became more and more thoughtful,
silent and depressed as the march went on.
After a long silence he looked up, and, lay
ing his hand on my arm, said with the ut
most imPressiveness:
Charlie, I'm going back to Texas and
burn up every southern history of the war
that l can find
What are you going to do that for?'
l asked.
Because, Charlie he said, still more
impressively, they're full of lies. They
all tell about how many Yankees we killed,
Charlie, we never killed a id Yankee.
They're all here now!'"

points" They did so, and Penrose, with
the rules carefully written out in front Of
him, took a hand. As the time for the jack
pot approached one of the players said:
"Ill open for a dollar"
Penrose scanned his hand, then looked
carefully over the rules and finally asked:
Whats all of one ~color?"
"a flush" he was told.
"Pll play" he observed.
The man who opened perfunctorily bet a
chip and, when the senator raised, drew
out.
It's all yours, Penrose," the latter was
told, and then, as he drew the pile toward
him, somebody added: Lets see what you
got, anyway"
They looked, found two diamonds and
three hearts and sarcastically inquired:
Didn't you say you had a fush?"
mo; you said it," replied Penrose, add
ing, ENORMOUSLY: 81 don't know much
about the game, you know, but l rather
think / like it."
Perhaps the Maryland priest of whom the
following is related did not give the best
peared before him, but he has not yet been
reproved by his bishop.
The ~penitent was a young theological
student, who was also a foot ball enthusiast
and the commander Of a team engaged in a
very hot contest The game was a tie, de-
pending on a grand rush to secure the vic
tory. 1t was a man-to-man contest, and
the youthful bishop in embryo, with all the
fire of those militant churchmen of old who
rode in armor, with blazing eyes, into the
Omaha daily bee., 1902-11-02

thick of the fight, cried out to his squad
DO your dist! Do your d-dst!"
But when the eXultation of victory hal
passed off and calm reflection had restored
the youngster to his normal state of mind
conscience troubled him as it has troubled
many another man after giving way to the
eXcitements of the flesh. He felt that he
had done wrong and should atone for it. In
his trouble he went very penitently to a
priest who had witnessed the exciting strug-
gle on the college campus and was hardly
done rejoicing over the result, for he was a
hacker Of the side which won. The con-
science-stricke student alphabetically said:
Father, l fear that in my excitement I did
very wrong and said things I should not
have said"
What did you say?"
II urged our side to do their dist.
What penance should l do?"
We'll, do your dist"
The wisdom, the wit and the consolation
of the advice were gratifying. 1t showed
him that he had consciously done no wrong,
and if he had the maxim of the homeopath-
lists should be applied to the case-similia
similibus curantur.
A worthy m who was very sensitive
and retiring, having lost his wife, privately
requested that he might be remembered In
the minister's morning prayer from the pull
pit, but asked that his name might not be
mentioned.
On Sunday morning the good minister
prayed most eloquently for "our aged
brother, upon whom the heavy hand of sore
afiiction has so lately fallen"

attributes these to the peculiarities of his
business.
ITS a pity" he said one night as he
sank into a chair in the Waldorf grillroom.
1t was during the early days of the Boer
war.
Whats a pity?" someone asked.
IT'S a pity that they can't send them to
the front" he answered.
who can't send who to the front ?" was
asked.
why, the British send the women to
the front" he exclaimed. IF the average
woman could fight in the field half as we'll
as the average woman can fight elsewhere
wars would cease or the population of the
earth would be destroyed"
Still his companion did not understand
and looked at him inquirlngly.
They'd be great warriors" he said.
Another pause; a long sigh.
Mr.. Grau rose and prepared to go.
1--WE just been discussing contracts with
Nine. Calve," he said solemnly and YEARLY,
as he started away. AS he reached the
door he half turned and added over his
shoulders:
Enough said!"

Senator Quay and some friends were in the

@1ONGRESSMAN JONES of the state
of Washington tells this amen"
~ story: A brilliant theological
IERb1BI student had been invited to come
- and preach as a candidate.
Brother Silas Smith was noted for his ten
dency to keep the audience awake by
shouting Amen about every so often.
Some OF the members thought that this
might discomfort the preacher, so one of
the members offered him a new pair Of
boots II he would refrain from shouting
amen" that day. Silas agreed. But
toward the end of his discourse the stu
dent waxed a little too eloquent for Silas,
who shouted: amen! Boots or no boots,
amen!"
The Englishman was being surprised at
the rapidity with which the sky scraper
was going up.
"Deah mel" he exclaimed, lit seems as II
your buildings grow as rapidly as your
maize"
Yes" replied the westerner, unblush-
ingly, land the process of raising them is
much the same"
"Fawncy! Won't you explain further"
well you see. we just get an iron
plant, put 1t in the ground, have the street
sprinklers water It and in a month or six
weeks the sky scrape- &c full grown"
And. taking another breath, the cousin
from overseas managed to believe It.

4 SPIRITED TILT
AMONG METHODISTS
DR.. Stiff Replies to Mr.. Ki|by, OF
Nor.o.k, in Regard to As
sip -meat of Ministers.

Further discussion Of certain questions
now Of live interest in the denomination
is made this week through the columns Of
The Christian Advocate by DR.. +. W. Stiff,
well known physician Of this city, who
declares that there IS growing up in the
Methodist Church a depiorable political
practce Of lobbying for preachers, and
uhc Incidentally replies rather spiritedly
&C Mr.. Kilby. OF Norfolk, who las, week
defended the action OF Epworth Church
in bringing in DR.. Smart from the St
Louis Conference.
With reference to the lobbying" DR..
Stiff says the evil seems to be growing.
I5e illustrates it by a little occurrence
e. the recent sessions Of the Virginia Con-
ference in this city. Then he says IN
part.
1T docs seem to have come to pass that
Unless church is represented by del
cation IL is handicapped in the matter of
appointments. 1t looks as II our good
Old ship Is dragging anchor and off her
nioorings. when one of her churches
caches the point Of confessing through
enc Of its official members that the Only
opposition they can offer to a preacher is
that he IS not a transfer, and when
the unanimous voice Of the board OF
church decides that there is no suitable
man available in the conference, and the
usual imported preacher must be had.
Does the following sound Methoolsuc'
TO say the least?
The officials Of this church GER
talniy Intend to secure the best talent
available. and will select the preacher
hes, qualified for the position. according
to their own judgment
Where. pray do the bishop and his
council come in with this church?
al find no objection to transfers. per
&c. but II is Objectionable to very many
that any Of our churches should arrogate
10 themselves such superiority-intellect-
cally. financially or otherwise-as to
think that there rarely or never IS IN the
conference an available or suitable man
for them. God speed the day when there
WI. be no button holing Of the bishop and
the presiding el3ers by importunale com
,n!ttees. and when transfers shall be, made
only upon necessity and after the exer-
else of due deiiberation and the best judS-
raent of the powers that be.
The language quoted by DR.. St1 Is that
used last week by Mr.. kilby.
