Trouble Brewing for Abel.

The man who runs the elevator at a
terminal railway station was accosted
i'll a dull time of day, not long ago, by
a tall countrywoman with an expression
on her face compounded of fright and
determination.
Gould l ride tip high as you GO"
she asked, in husky tone.
Sure, RESTRAINT top floor" said the
elevator man, and after facilitating her
entrance with a judicious shove he
slammed the door and started his car.
At the top floor he flung open the door
and attempted to assist his passenger
out.
She waved off his hand however, and
shook her head with great decision.
Il thought I'd need something to eat
after it," she said briskly, but 'tisn't
what I'd been led to expect, and now
all | want is to get downstairs again,
take the four o'clock train for Pratt s
Corner and tell Abel Jowdcrs what |
think OF him.
Hes been holding it over me for
tho last six months-cvcr since stock
holders day-that he'd rid in an eleva-
tor and | never had He's got one
share OF stock in the railroad, and what
with that and his talk about the way his
hair rose and his suspendcrs bust with
the tremendous speed in the elevator,
and how folk that stayed at home had
no notion of the gimp it took to ride
in one, there's been no living with him.
But you just let me get home | lett
him housed with a grippy cold so |
know he'll be there"

A rlaiden's Troubles.

HeIen-Gertrude lay awake almost
the whole night last night worrying.
Clford-What was she worrying
about?
"Oh. she's afraid the man she is 60

"ROBBER BARON" OF 1902.
Strong Talk by an English "Economist."

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3I.-John B. Hobson,
of England, an economist, who is a visitor to
the convention of the American Economic AS
ISOLATION, lectured on THE Charity Of Million
aires" before the society of ethical culture. He
said, in part:
"It seems cynical to question these gifts or
to criticize the motive. Get all you can and
erumble for more is the temper OF the average
citizen. But they should get this from the
states and cities. Any state in the Union is
able to make the sasae public institutions of
charity for the use of citizens as those given by
a Carnegie or Rockefeller.
"Find some great millionaire manufactures,
gigantic Lrewer, baaker, Spectator. How
does he acquire merit2 In olden times, when
bio fortunes were won by murder and rapine,
rich beuuests came from robber barons for
masses. Now, St. Paul's church in London
gets its golden communion plates from a
plunper on the stock excha Ige. 1t is essen
TALLY the same.
"Society not merely condones this, but ap-
plauds. The consequence is that every one
with some great philantbropic scheme is fish
ing for his millionaire"

1903 TO BE A WONDERFUL YEAR.

Thomas A. Edison, the "wizard," says the
year 1908 will practically annihlate space and
time, so far as communication between the
people of the earth is concerned. TIE horse
as beast of traffic will disappear, the steam
locomotive will be back number, and wireless
telegraphy will be success. In add ion to
all this, medicine will give way to surgery and
diet-if not during the year, at least in COM
paratvely short time. His New Year predic-
ton is full OF promise for the scientists aud the
people.
81 look for wonderful year, ~ said tn "wiz-
ard "There is more activity in science than
there has ever been before. More men are
working on big projects, and gres, discoveries
would be only natural.
"For myself my storage battery, on which
have worked for Jour years, will be put on the
market in January. 1t solves the raction
problem, and its introduction means that the
horse will have to go.
'The wireless telegraph assuredly expect
to see perfected for commercial purposes-if
not fully SO in 1903, at least advanced toward
that end
81 expect to see electricity supplant steam as
motive power. In fifteen years, electricity
will be the railway motive powe1-in 1903,
will advance in that direction,
"Nineteen hundred and three will bring
great advances in surgery, in the study, in the
study of bacteria, i'll the knowledge OF the
cause and prevention OF disease. Medicine is
played out. Every new discovery of bacteria
shows us all the more convincingly that we
have been wrong, and that the million tons of
stuff we have taken was all useless.
"'They may even discover the germ of OLD
age. don'l predict it, but it might be by the
sacrifice OF an animal life, human life could be
prolonged"

ASSAILS ROCKEFELLER'S REQUESTS.

DR.. John Bascom, former president OF the
University of Wisconsin, in addressing the
state teachers association at the meeting OF
that organization in Milwaukee, Dec. 2oth, de-
livered an address in which he attacked Rock
efeller's university requests He said:
"No money that is obtained at the expense
of the people can ever be used for the good OF
the people.
81 mean the University of Chicago and its
acceptance of the gifts from John D. Rockefel-
Ter. When an institution, founded and main
tanned for the benefit and education of the
youth of the public, accepts money which has
been gained in direct defiance OF laws and
principles laid down by that public, 1t vitiates
its influence on the minds of those students
upon whom it is its duty to exert good and
moral influence.

cago without wanting to tell them what think
of their accepting money made by the under
selling of poor men, crowdng them out OF BUS

wares which you will not allow another man to
sell, accepting, say, this money ont OF the
ruin of good and honest tradesmen, and trying
to train young men to the gospel with this
money and under the influence of such men.
For if you accept that money, you are under
obligation to, and, so, under the influence OF,
the dono- The basic principle of the whole
thing is wrong"
1t is certainly refreshing to read the above.
1t shows that men of great prominence are
thinking. 1t shows advancement of the cause
of reform.

Mondays Evening News.

Mondays Evening News
Last Friday evening about $40
o'clock bullet came crashing
through the roof of John Crockers
house on West First street and
struck the bed but few inches from
where he baby was 81 eping. Mrs.
Croker heard no report at the time
and where the bullet came from is a
mystery. 1t was from 80 calibfe
revolver or rife. Many believe that
the bal was fired into the air and
fell upon the roof but there is con-
siderable doubt as to whether it
would have had sufficient force UNI
der such circumstances to have PEN
etrn'ed the roof and ceiling as it did
Here is mystery tor solution One
thing is sure and that is that some
one is handling fire arms carelessly.
There is no doubt that had the bul
let struck the baby 1t might have
killed it. Some one had better be
more careful.

Rev. Irl X. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of science and
art is finer and better than ever, is stating it
mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all
previous years. To say that such results, reach
ing through thirty years, not based on
sound sense and usefulness is an insult to the
intelligence of the millions. Prof Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his famous
family and scientific Journal, Word aud Works,
is doing work for the whole people not APP
preached by any other man or publication. Ana
fair test will prove tEs to reasonable, ans
son. Added tc the most luminous coursV in
astronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms and
weather are given, as never before, for every
day in the year, all charmiugly illustrated with
nearly two hundred eneravings The price OF
single Almanac, including postage and mail
ing, is thirty cents. Word and Works with the
Almanac is 81 90 year. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., 22oI Locust Street, ST.
Louis, Mo, and prove to yourself their great
value.

BLAMES THE RAILROADS.

Chicago is scared to death over the PROBABLE
ity of a coal famine, and the officers are prob
ing the question-two Investigations are now
going on. John B. Lucas, president of the
Fuel Publishing Company, said to Record
Herald reporter:
"The coal dealers are just as anxious as any
body to see the end of this coal famine, but
they are powerless. All thev can sell now is
car number-that is, a car designated by a
number-that will arrive in Chicago in the re-
mote future. The railroads have practically
put an embargo upon coal; the blame ought to
rest only upon them. They have neglected
coal in favor of more profitable business"
