some time next yearly August we

have seemingly paid no attention to
1T SO far, it looks like its removal
could not be elected within the time

is the railroad company dallying with

do not want 70 think SO, yet it seems
so AS our Representatives in Con.

@ Another thing necessary in connec-
ton with the bridge removal business,
and which we desire to call to the
attention of our Congressional repre-
sentatives is the dredging Of our
river in order that it may be made
safe for heavy tonnage-the transpor.
tation of coal and coke. The river is
by no means ready for such traffic,
but can be made SO in a little while
certainly by the time the obstruction
above referred to is removed There
are no doubt shoals, snags and rocks
in the stream which, while they
probably would not be in the way of
the ordinary steamboat business, yet
would seriously interfere with fleets
OF loaded barges. The latter must
be provided for, as they will appear
as soon as the river is put in a con
dtion that will permit them TO be
used with safety. That done, it will
not be long until we shall see the
banks of the Monongahela fringed
with coal and coke works from Fair
mont to Pittsburg. At least every
body who owns coal along the stream,
and nearly everybody does, will be
engaged in its development owing to
the cheap transportation facilities
herein ndicated-facilities that will
present themselves at the mouths OF

suggested should not be delayed. II

is as important as the bridge removal
question. The former. however, may
depend upon a Congressional appro-
pration, and if it does our represen-
tatives aforesaid are hereby respect
fully requested to see that a sum suf-
ficient to carry on the great work
be soon forthcoming.

The Goose Got Away.

To the Hon. Joseph Sibley of Penn
sylvania the yarn-loving members of
the House are giving credit for this
story:
There was a rich old farmer who
lived in one of the interior districts
near Philadelphia, and who got tan
gled up in money transaction with
one OF his neighbors. Mr.. Alston, for
that wa his name, sought an attor-
ney, who gave him letter Of intro
duction to 4 brother lawyer in Phila-
delphia, at which place it was neces-
sary to enter the suit. The letter was
delivered to the lawyer, and while he
was reading it he was called out of
the room, leaving the letter on his
desk. Mr.. Alston let curiosity get
the better of him and read the letter
which closed with a postscript stat
ing that "Mr Aston is a fat goose;
pluck him heavy"
That was enough for the old farm
er, and seizing a pen he wrote: "P. S.
No. 2-The goose has flown. feathers
and ALL"
1t took him about three seconds to
amble down the stairs and into the
streets, and he has not had anything
to do with lawyers from that day to
this. preferring to pluck his own
eese.-Washington Times.

The Decline of Pie.

a writer in the current Harper's
Weekly laments the passing OF the
American pie habit as it fourished a
generation ago. Americans, he thinks,
eat other foods than pie now. Patent
breakfast foods compete audaciously
with pie for the supremacy of the
breakfast table. Pie does not adver-
tise. and food that does not adver-
tise cannot expect to maintain its tyr
amy over the digestive apparatus of
a nation Of readers. Pie is no longer
the champion of the food list. But
what seems especially remarkable
about it is the lack of Individuality
about the pie of commerce. The lunch
room keeper recognizes only two kinds
of pie-good pie and spoiled pie. Con
sumers must be equally undiscrimina-
ting. In the age when pie was king
it was not so. Then there were pies
and pies.'

On Lincoln's lips the words tliat

SCARED BY ENGINES WHISTLE
Cowpuncher Couldn't Wait for Train
to Turn Around

Co~puncher Couldn't Wait for Train
to Turn Around.
At the Hoffman House recently, Col.
Cody told this story He said:
TN my town out West we've recent
ly put in a new railroad, which at
tracts a good deal of attention. One
day a young cowpuncher from one of
the remote ranches came into town
and there saw a train for the first
time in his life. One of the boys,
knowing his ignorance. planned it so
that the cowpuncher found himself
near the track just as the far-off whis-
tie of an approaching locomotive was
heard.
THE cowpuncher soon began to
show signs of distress. His restive-
ness increased rapidly as the train ap-
preached. until, when the roar and
the blanket of dust from the sliding
wheels enveloped him, he rose in his
stirrups, scared half to death.
The engineer, taking in the situa-
ton. leaned back out of his cab win
dow Just as the train stopped, and
shouted at the top of his lungs: Git
out of the way, You ornery cowpunch-
er; I'm goin' to turn around!'
THAT was hint enough for the COW
puncher. Slapping his spurs into the
flanks of his bronco, he was over the
hills in a twinkle. The last l saw OF
him was little red ball of the fur
thest horizon."-New York Tribune.

Catarrh is Il systemic disease durable

Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately nvigorates the
nerve centers which give vitality to the

appears. Then catarrh is permanently
