ArtfuI Cabby.

1t was busy thoroughfare in Edin-
burgh, and. as the old lady vas ex-
hausted with the stir and hustle she
hailed a passing cab, says an English
paper. The driver was at her side in
a moment. Opening the door, he stood
back to allow the lady to enter.
She made one or two weak efforts,
but was unable to mount the step;
and, at last looking imploringly at the
driver, she said:
Help me in, my good man, for am
very old"
The driver gently assisted his fare
said:
We'll, mem, nae matter what age you
are, you dinna look it,"
His fare was increased by shilling
when the old lady reached her desti-
nation. And he deserved it.

TWO SESSIONS FAVORED.

Mr.. Charles L. Davis, representative
In the Legislature from Meriwether
county and chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, in an interesting
talk yesterday, with a representative
of the Morning News, said that he IA
vored the movement outlined in the
Morning News on Friday morning in
its Atlanta dispatches and approved
by it in an editorial article, to limit
the two sessions which the present
Legislature is yet to have. to fifty
days; the first. to be held in June
of this year, to twenty days, and the
second, to be held next year, to thirty
days.
Mr.. Davis says that he was opposed
to the change which the Legislature
made in the time OF meeting, but that
the change having been made he VIII

islature to 100 days. a success. AS a
matter of fact, the really important
measures pending are ready for action,
the committees having passed upon
them. These measures are the convict
lease bin. the child labor bin and one
or two others.

Irreverent Bobbie.

When Bobbie went to church for the
first time with his father, he received
cent to drop into the contribution
box. Bobbie would much rather have
used the cent for his own purposes,
but his father said he must give it
to the Lord and it was explained
that the cent should be dropped into
the box when it was passed around.
Bobbie did as he was told.
The next Sunday Bobbie got a nickel
for the box. This brought forth vigor-
Gus protest He wanted to know why
one cent wouldn't do for the box and
the other four for himself. His father
patted him on the head and said, mo,

His First Charge.

In Western state, whose laws pro-
vide for jury of six in suits before
justices of the peace, a German was
elected to that high and honorable Of
flee, says the Green Bag. The old gem
tlenan was naturally smart, and, being
prosperous, was something of an oracle
in the neighborhood; but law was a
thing he knew as little about as most
of his predecessors and successors of
the j. p. genus.
When his first case came on he lis
tened with reasonable attention to the
evidence, but with rapt interest to the
arguments of counsel for both plaintiff
and defendant.
When the arguments were closed he
appeared very Iii at ease, and not I'M
I'll reminded that it was his duty to
charge the jury did he offer any sug-
gestion touching the case in hand.
But he came up to the situation that
confronted him like a man and a
judge.

Spoiled the Song.

1t was at an amateur concert, says
Answers, and one of the young men
who hankered after realism was sing
ing 1.-The Miners Dream of Home,
duly rugged out in red shirt, sombrero
and Wellington boots. The latter, be
it known, he had borrowed from the
local fireman, as, like many other
junior clerks, he did not keep these
useful articles of attire in his perma-
nent wardrobe.
The song was going well. There
was a hushed stiffness in the hall,
which, If anything, became more
marked at the third verse.
1t was a trifie hard for the young
man, therefore, to hear, just at this
particular point, a loud voice from the
side of the platform cry out:
Hey, Jack, OFF with them ere boots;
I'm called to fire!"

Had one Qualification.

An Irishman, who, much to his wife's
sorrow, had got into the company OF
men who managed cock-fights, deter
mined to raise some game ROSTERS for
himself, says an exchange. So he got
some prize eggs and put them under
the old hen in the back yard.
In order to teach him a lesson and
discourage his growing vice, his wife
removed the prize eggs from under the
unsuspecting hen, and put in their
place some ducks eggs.
Some weeks later the wife heard a
commotion in the wood-shed. She rush
ed out, and there stood Pat, watching
with delight the first efforts of a new
ly Matched duck to, waddle.

fut on him? Sure, a bird twice his
size couldn't thrip hirn!"

THE TRUST QUESTION STILL WITH

The Sage Of Princeton seems to be
saying more these days that is COM
mandipg the approval of thinking men
than Mr.. Bryan, the Sage of Lincoln.
For instance, when he was in New
York a few days ago Mr.. Cleveland
said that it was his opinion that the
trust question would not be eliminated
from the presidential campaign next
year. He could not see, he said, how
that question could be wholly d.
vorced from the tariff ISSUE"
1t cannot be divorced from 1t. Some
of the most monopolistic of the trusts
are sheltered behind the high protec-
tive tariff. The people know that. and
they will not be satisfied until the tar
iff schedules are lowered.
There is no reason for thinking that
consumers, knowing that they are be-
ing robbed, are going to remain quiet
in regard to trusts that are robbing
them or in regard to tariff schedules
which enable these trusts to rob them
If the Republican party thinks it has
eliminated the trust question from the
next national campaign by the Elkins
act and the Nelson amendment it is
going to be disappointed. These meas
ures will serve to irritate the trusts a
little, but will not prevent their extor-
tons. The people know what must
be done to remedy the trust evil, and
they VIII not rest until that remedy is
applied. The remedy, as already stated
is reduction of the tariff schedules.
Mr.. Cleveland is right, we shall have
the trust question with us as long as
we have the Dingley tariff.

The Picture I'm the Crate.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Ho, my little fellow, with the glamour
in your eyes,
Let us watch the pictures where the
glowing ember dies:
Let us see the palace where the prin-
cess lives in state
Walls of gold a~gleaming in the magic
of the CRATE!
Walls of gold and silver, and a ruby
stream that rolls
Round about the palace in the ever
changing Goals.
Ho, my little fellow, with the wonder
in your eyes,
Tell me of the glories where the flashes
fall and rise!
Let us see the turrets and the pin
nacles and all
Yes, and hear the trumpets blow de-
fiance from the wall!
See the princess smiling at the window,
while below
Stands the princely lover who is loath
to mount and go.
Ho, my little fellow. with the freight
in your eyes,
Take me back to boy-land with its
ever happy skies!
Let me sit beside you while you gaze
into the flame.
Tell me of the princess; of her beauty;
of her name;
Let us trace the jewels that her gentle
charms enhance;
Let us catch the glitter of the arnor
and the lance.
Ho, my little fellow, with the wisdom
in your eyes,
Let me have the knowledge that had
when ] was wise:
Trace the olden pictures in the Goals,
and let me see
All the royal visions that were once
so true, to me.
Look again and tell me what the dy-
ing embers hold.
For my glad boy fancies now are
ashes, gray and cold.

Wall street men have odd ideas of
hun.or. A few days ago one of them.
Of the name of H. E. Smith, advertised
for dogs to be carried to ais lawyer.
The lawyers office quickly looked like
a public pound or the annex to a
bench show Then the joker persuaded
toe lawyer that he had Won a piano
in a lottery, and had lots of fun
watching the lawyer try to get possess
sion of the property. A day or two
later Mr.. Smith missed $1,000 worth
of his bonds, and was greatly worried.
He advertised the loss and notified the
police. It transpired, however, that
the lawyer had merely ''abstracted"
them as a joke, to get even with
Smith. Smith saw the point, after
worrying for day or two, and was
able to join in the laugh. That is Wall
street fun.

KILLS SHINGLE MARKET.
AS Far as it Concerns Washington
Shipments TO Eastern States.


Seattle, Wash, April 18.-Secretary
Victor Il. Beckman of the Shinele asso.
citation today received letter from the
treasury department asking for iaforma
tion regarding an order recently issued
by the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, and three days supplemented by
an order from the Wisconsin Central. re-
fusing to furnish any more cars for
shiDgIe shipments east OF Chicago. The
contention of the lines is that they now
have upwards of IA, 900 cars on foreign
lines in the east, which they are unable
to get back. The effect of this order will
be to kill the Washington shingle mar
ket in the eastern states, amounting to
about 5000 cars annually, and in the
face OF present conditions, including the
largest surplus stock on record in the
hands of the coast mills and little de-
mand in the central west, the situation
is alarming to the trade.
The purpose of the treasury depart
ment's inquiry is speculative, but is sup
posed to be for the purpose of present
ing the matter to the interstate com
merce commission.

There is a type of ultra tender heart

the animal furnishing the meat. They

Of hydrophobia and all the other long

capable. They call the dehorning Of
cattle, the cutting off of the lambs

male animals cruelty to the poor dumb
beasts and meet you with the most
conclusive of arguments that If these
several processes are right the AL
mighty made a mistake when he ere
ated the animals. Man was placed up
on the earth to subdue 1t. In this

must be done by force and harsh meth

fact.
