WOULD BE A GREATER LOSS
Patrick Didn't Want a Raise in
Wages just to Have 1t
Taken Out.

A rich man, extraordinarily strict in
all business matters, but hnd-hearted,
withal, had a gardener who, in long
and faithful service, contracted rheu-
matism. Almost regularly every
month the gardener was incapacitated
for work for and five days at a time,
relates the New York Times. When he
did not work his wages were locked,
and his loss amounted to about ten doll
lars a month.
The employer did not like this, as the
manwas valued servant, and it seemed
unfair to make him bear the financial
burden of an illness that was the OUT
growth of his calling. But the masters
business instincts would not allow him
to pay for unrendered services. Final
ly, the employer evolved a scheme
whereby the gardener would not lose
anything through future attacks, while
the proprieties Of business would not
be violated.
Summoning the man before him, the
master said: Patrick, 1 am sorry you
are i'll so frequently, and dislike to
dock you, but 1 must do so, as cannot
pay for anything l do not get. Now, 1
tell you what will do. Your wages are
$40 month at present.. Hereafter, l
will pay you at the rate of $50, and with
the average dockage your income will
be about what you would receive at
the old rate if you were not sick"
Patrick cogitated a moment before
replying. THANK ye, kindly, sir" he
said. "But if it's all the same, I'd rath-
er not have the raise. Ye see, when Pm
sick now, 1 lose so much money every
idle day, and if ye raise me wages I'll
lose more, and l can't afford that"

uously absent, and have often won
dered why. Of course. there must be
some good, deep-rooted reason for this
extraordinary fact. Bay horses. sor-
rel horses and black horses are COM
mon enough at the various race
courses of the country, and they arein
all shades, so far as these colors are
concerned. Occasionally one may find
horse bordering on the clay bank in
color. horses with blaze faces, or with
white hind or fore feet, or sometimes
having other distinguishing color
marks. But where is the white horse?
He is not at the race track where rae
ing horses are on the card, and they
are very scarce on trotting and pacing
tracks. I have never mentioned the
curious fact to men who are experts
when it comes to blooded horses, but
intend to do so, and the very first
well-posted race horse man l meet
will ask him why it is that there are
no white race horses, and the reasons
therefor. There must be some rela-
ton between color and speed"

Senator Hoar made bitter attack in
open Senate OH the Panama policy Of the
President and his speech caused as much
delight among the democrats as surprise
among the members of his own party. He
said in part, 81 want to know and the
American people want to know, and have
right to know, whether this mighty
policeman, instructed to keep the peace
on that Isthmus, seeing a man about to
attack another, before he had struck his
blow manacled the arms of the attacked
so that he could not defend himself leav-
ing the assailant free, and then instantly
proceeded to secure from the assailant
the pocketbook of the victim, on the
ground that he was the de facto owner"
Senator German followed up Mr.. Hoar's
attack by declaring that President Roose-
welt was an American Napoleon. Sen
ator Bailey expressed the pleasure of the
democrats to find that Senator Hoar was
ION their side,'' to which the Massachu-
sets Senator replied that he was not.
Senator Foraker of Ohio, severely crit
icised Mr.. Hoar's speech, declaring that
he had no right to ask the President to
prove that he had spoken the truth in
his message.

Reunion of Company E.
Communicated.


EDS. JOURNAL: -Several weeks ago word was
sent out by few members of old Company
E, of the Iurnell Legion, Md. Vols, of the Civil
War, residing in Wilmington to all who resided
within easy reach of that place, to assemble there
for a reunion. The writer being member of the
above Company, with several others left North
East on the evening of the 10th inst. arriving in
Wilmington found several in waiting for the
country contingent.
After round of hearty handshaking we were
escorted to Dupont Post Hall, which had been
secured for the purpose The meeting was organ
lied by electing W. H. Abrams, of North East,
president and Saml. Hambleton secretary. Many
incidents of army life were told and good time
in general was had. Lieut.. Burns, of the Com
pany, had in his possession the original muster
roll OF the Company, los men in all, frank and
fie) which was called, and from the best nfor-
nation obtainable all but 43 have received their
final muster out. For the information of the
public will give brief history of this command:
The Purnell Legion was organized and mustered
at Pikesville, Md, and consisted of nine COM
panes of infantry, 1900 strong. two batteries OF
artillery and five companies of cavalry, making
as fine body of men as ever went forth from any
State 1t was the intention at first that this com
mand should be held together and be command
ed by William Purnen of Baltimore, Md, but
soon after active operations commenced the
cavalry and artillery were detached and became
widely separated. never at any time or in any
battle being all engaged. But this much l can
say, it being OF record at the Department. that
some portion of this command was engaged in
every battle of the Army of the Potomac, after
the first Bull Run up to and including Apo.
mattox. Another incident in connection with
Company of this command, perhaps known by
but few if any, and perhaps not duplicated by
any command in the entire army, eastern OF
western, was this: Among those 105 men there
were IL pairs of brothers and one set of triplets
Today after very careful research we can find
only six pairs unbroken.
I will add that after business was through
with it was unanimously decided to make the
organization permanent and that our next meet
ing be held at Bay View, Md in october 1904
The Wilmington contingent had not forgotten
the inner man and all were escorted to nearby
restaurant, where full justice was done the good
things prepared for US.
Very truly,

President Roosevelt's path to the much
coveted presidential nomination does not
appear to be altogether strewn with roses,
judging from passing political events.
Some of the highest of high priests of his
party are causing him much worry, most
notably Hanna, who refuses to stand for
the General Wood affair, and Hoar, who
is dealing out hot shot over the Panama
business. Then the Democrats have
banded together and are presenting such
a solid front on Panama and other ques-
tions as to cause apprehension. The fight
between Senator Plat and Governor
Odell in New York is another feature
which adds stumbling block. The adj
herents of each man, instead of seeking
to heal the breach, are doing all they
can to widen it. 1t is the field against
Roosevelt, and the field seems to be
growing stronger daily.

A Good Sign.

When such strong partisan paper as
the Topeka, Kas., State Journal, an Of
fetal organ of the republican party i'll the
west, gives utterance to such sentiment
as is found in the following extract from
an editorial OH the coal trust, it is good
sign that the policy of government owner
ship so long advocated by the reform ele-
ment of the country, but held up to rid
icule by the old party papers, is finally
being looked upon as the great eco
nomic question it really is, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the great corporation
papers to sparage and hold back the
movement, the adoption of which will
witness the dawn of brighter and better
era for the masses, who represent the
real wealth and strength of the nation.
The State Journal says in recent issue :
"Sooner or later, the people are going
to have their way in this country
1t may be that the trusts are strongly es-
tablished, but their position is an ambush
rather than bulwark. They exist be-
cause no law has found them, rather than
because of the. laws protection. This is
going TO be changed. If new laws are
needed they will be passed. If the disease
is more radical, and the constitution is
defective, it must be modified to meet
modern conditions. Money and politics
may delay the accomplishment of the re-
suit. The victory may be slow in coming.
but some time it will come, even if the
people themselves take possession of the
mines and operate them for the public
good"

The influence of "comnercialism" on
the affairs of state is shown by the action
of the United States in the Panama deal.
The little republic was recognized by our
country before its eyes were fairly open
to the light of independence, there being
something at stake commercially. How
different was it with Cuba, where it was
sympathy for all oppressed people which
entered into he consideration. Did the
United States show any such haste in rec
