The G.. & n. W. railroad is becoming
nuisance-at night, Business is SO
great that the nights are full of trains

With questions of mighty import
to the country confronting congress
and the great ''Sic" Z S. senate
spending the peoples time and money
over a question of aboIiShing eighth

may be forgiven for wishing there
was lot of Tillmans in the senate
literally armed with pitch forks and
that they would use them without
mercy. If any citizen can think of
the Z. S. senate engaging in such
picayuniSh and contemplate b uSiness
without blushing, the field of the
Tightening rod business is what they
should engage IN.

SOME Of the large city dailies are
now loud in their condemnation of
the get-rich-quick'' companies. Only
two weeks ago these same papers
published alluring advertisements of
how money could be doubled, how
men with little capital could make
money while they slept. 1t is true,
us one paper puts it, that it is hardly
conceivable how any reasonable person
can believe that anyone who knows
how and where he can make even !
per cent week is going to give the
snap away, but SO long as the so-called
reputable newspapers and magazines
insist upon printing fraudulent adycr-
tiSement "theSe credulous victims
who think they can step in and reap
from one to two hundred per cent"
will continue to multiply.

Not LOOKING for Oysters.

Andrew Carnegie tells a story Of
an American In Scotland that illus
trates well the imperturbability OF
the Scottish temperament.
The American, a bicycler. came to
the shore of a lonely lake and saw in
a boat man examining the depthg
of the water with water telescope.
The man conducted this examination
languidly. He would pause every 1T
tie while to light his pipe and to con-
verse on the weather or some such
Indifferent subject with a friend who
sat upon the bank, now reading a
newspaper and now tossing pebbles
idly into the stream.
The American got OFF his bicycle to
rest. and in an interval of silence no
said to the man seated on the bank:
What is your friend looking for?
Oysters?"
No. My brother-in-law," was the
reply.
