The LineoInviIIe Philosopher
Discusses Higher Wages.
Copyright, 1908, by Frederick Upham
Adams.

What are you looking so glum
about, Brother Jenkins?" asked Col.
Monroe, pulling his chair up to the fire
and passing his cigar case to Judge
Sawyer. HAS the sale of stamps fall
en- off or a money order gone astray?"
ITS Flanagan" declared the post
master.
"Flannagan? What's Flanagan done
now?"
"Flannagans the head brakeman on
No. ST." explained Jenkins, noting the
puzzled look on Judge Sawyer's face.
He was in here just before you came.
Flannagan's an ungrateful dog if there
is one. He showed me his pay envel-
ope. His wages have been increased
ten per cent. Last month he got $50,
this month he gets $65. Everyone but
the conductors have been raised-en-
gineers, firemen. brakemen, switchmen,
and yardmen. Now what do you sup
pose Flanagan said?"
Never could guess in the world" re-
turned Col. Monroe. What did he say?'
He said he oughter been raised ten
years ago" declared Postmaster Jen-
kins, dropping the red hot poker on the
zinc. I'D raise him if he was working
for me! There's gratitude for you, I
told him right to his face that he'd been
a long time in Ireland before he got
$50 a month, say nothing of $65. On
top of it all Flanagan says the COM
pany didn't raise their pay because
they loved them, but because it knew
70 CT
that their union brought the railroad to
time. I'd like to be railroad presi-
dent and see any union bring me to
time! | tell you, unions are running
this country. Yes, sir, running it,!
Things have come to pretty pass when
men like Flanagan can dictate to the
president of the NJ. n. Il w! If that
isn't treason, 1 don't know what trea-
son is. It's treason and anarchy and
socialism-that's what it isl"
Don't take it so much to heart. Jen-
kins.' said Col. Monroe, soothingly.
Flanagan is only a rough working
man, without your delicate sensibilties,
and hasn't had your educational advan-
tages. Then again the loss of two or
three fingers may tend to make him irri-
table and to bias his judgment. But you
haven't told all the news about the
railroad. They have increased some
thing besides wages"
You refer 10 the new freight rate
schedule, presume" observed Judge
Sawyer. II heard OF IL yesterday"
The NJ y. and W. has raised
freight rates an average of ten per
cent responded the colonel. What
DO you think Of that. jenkins? Per-
haps that accounts for Flannagan's
eood luck, which he 80 little appre-

IT'S no money eat Of my pocket"

FOR ELASTIC CURRENCY.
Bill Introduced in the House by
Representative Fowler.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Representa-
tive Fowler of New Jersey, chairman
of the House Committee on Banking
and Currency, to which committee
was referred the Payne-Aldrich bill,
to-day introduced a bill in which is
first incorporated the elastic currency
bill introduced by Mr.. Fowler at this
session and which is now pending be-
fore the House. To this is added pro-
vision contained in the Fowler bill in
PRODUCED last session for the deposit of
government funds in designated banks
not to exceed in amount IS percentum
of the paid-up and unimpaired capital
of such depository.
There are material differences in
the provisions of the Fowler bill re-
lating to the deposits of public money
and those of the Payne-Aldrich bill,
in that the former requires no security
for such deposits, while the latter does.
and the former charges 2 per cent,
while the latter charges Ia per cent.
interest on deposits.
Mr.. Fowler will endeaVor to have his
bill reported out of the banking and
currency committee instead of the
Payne bill.

FIRE DAMP EXPLODED.
One of the Miners Is Supposed 10
Have Been KILLED.

Latrobe, Pa, Feb. 2S.-The Hostel
ter-Connellsville Coke Company's mine,
near here, was the scene of fire damp
explosion yesterday, in which it is
thought one man lost his life. The ex-
pIosion occurred when the full force of
men were at work, and it is considered
almost a miracle that there were not
more fatalities.
About 500 men are employed in the
mine. which is located four and half
miles west of this place. The cause of
the explosion is a mystery. 1t occurred
about two miles from the main entry.
Most of the force of miners at work
were in the vicinity of the entry in
which the explosion occurred.
The explosion was not heard outside
of the mine, and none except those at
work knew anything of it until those
who esca ped came rushing to the main
entry and spread the news of the dis
aster. -
Supt. Marshall states that locked
lamps were used throughout both
mines. These We're locked before be-
ing given to the men, and his theory
is that the explosion was caused by
spark from some hard substance by a
pick, or by spontaneous combustion
Rescuing parties brought out all but
one of the ten or more imprisoned men,
and this one is believed to be dead

POSTOFFICE ROBBERY
SOLVED AT CHICAGO.

Showing the Perpetrators.

Showing the Perpetrators.
Chicago, Feb. 2s.-state's Attorney
Deneen announced this afternoon that
he had come into possession of proofs
showing who robbed the Chicago post
office on Oct. 20, 1901, of postage
stamps valued at $7l.6O1, and that he
and Postoffice Inspector Stuart were
at work preparing the evidence for
presentation to a federal grand jury.
The states attorney, through a full
confession made by Mrs. Lula Mol,
who turned states evidence against
Attorney Richard A. Wade, Thomas
McNelly and other charged with re-
ceiving stolen property. learned how
the proceeds of the postoffice robbery
were divided, who dug the tunnels
under the building, who bored the
holes in the floor of the steel vault,
and where the plumber was stored.
Mrs. MOll broke down this afternoon
in States Attorney Deneen's office
and admitted the truth of the evidence
against the postofIice robbers.
Charles Moll, husband of Lula Moll
and one of the most daring and dam
9erous crooks known to the police of
the United States. is now serving a
term in the Michigan penitentiary for
burglary in Lansing, Mich Richard A.
Wade sprang into prominence when
he defended Prendergast the assassin
of Mayor Harrison.
Attorney Richard A. Wade was
found guilty tonight of receiving
stolen property and disposing of it.
The value of the property is fixed by
the jurors at $185, entailing a peniten-
tiary sentence.

INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
YOu Can Try 1t For Yourself and
Prove 1t.

One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment.
which any one can perform himself in
the following manner: Cut hard boiled
eggs into very small pieces, as it would
be if masticated, place the egg and two
or three of the tablets in a bottle or
jar containing warm water heated to 9S
degrees (the temperature of the body).
and keep 1t at this temperature for
three and one-half hours, at. the end of
which time the egg will be as complete
ly digested as it would have been in the
healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
to the egg in the bottle it Will do to the
egg or meat in the stomach, and moth
ing else win rest and invigorate the
stomach so safely and effectually. Even
a little child can take Stuarts Tablets
with safety and benefit if it's digestion
is weak and the thousands of cures ac-
complished by their regular daily use
are easily explained when it is under
stood that they are composed of vege-
table essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase
and Golden Seal, which mingles with
the food and digest il thoroughly. Civ
ing the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia. neither
do pills and cathartic medicines. which
simply irritate and inhame the intes-
tines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there Will be no con-
stipation, nor In fact win there VIII be
disease OF any kind. because cool d.
gestion means good health In every or
