SIMPLE LIFE LED BY
 THE MOTHER OF LOUBET

sia. Her farm, she feared, could not do without her, and she could not do without her farm. Her woather-beaten face and Drome speech would, she said, be out of place in a gilded palace. When Emile came to see her she was happy. When he went away she felt happy to think he would soon come back She never suf- fered from dullness or want of fine com pany. The good folks shes employed treated her as a parent, and her son August lived but twelve miles off, and heaped attention on her. Her daughter, Mime. Barber also lived not very far off, had a good heart, and l-1ed to come to see her at the old home.
 On the second of January the President felt that he must go to see his mother, set off in the evening express, arrived at her farm at ten the following morning and spent with her the Lest part of the day. In the evening he drove over Orig nan to see his brother, AuSuste, who lay i'll there. M Loubet left La Terrasse in a delightful frame of mind. The old lady had an uninterrupted flow of cheerful spirits, and showed no fatigue after all the New Years visit that had been paid her The dutiful son admired her fine clear judgement and mental brightness as evineed in her conversA Ation. The lucidness, however, did not give him un- mixed pleasure. Gould it, he asked him self. be due to les clartes cui precedent la mort? With this presentiment on his mind he went to Grigna-l. Dr. Comet promised on hearing the Presidents un- easiness. to hasten to La rerrasse if at all able the instant he received tele- gram. M.

 Thirty-three years ago l.. Waldeck- Rousseau wrote to Garlbetta: Until Frenchmen educated at E-Sh schools can bring themselves to shake hands without repugance with the manual toilers, there can be no stable Republi'." The spon- taneous symbolism of the Marsanne fun eral signified that what Wcldeck-Rous- enseau desired came to pass. All classes mingled with friendliness in the kitchen and barbour. A sleet storm ragged with out, but hearts warmed to each other within Wearers of cloth coats and blous- es were in unclassed promiscuity They fell back, as if moved by the same mind to let the President ascend to the death chamber Social distinctions based on the caste idea had disappeared. One man was as good as another. These country people did not yet know that all the grea. courts including that of aristocratic and tradi- tion-boun Austria, mad come into line with themselves on this occasion. Those Imperial and Royal telegrams are the announcement of wide-world revolution in ideas where change was most wanted.

YOUTHFUL ATTEMPTS AT
 GETTING A JOB IN TEXAS

EsoR a long time. writes Charles Dry
 den in one of his "On and off the Bread Wagon" sketches, Texas had looked good to me as a place where a boy of moderate industry could pick up a decent income detecting train rob bers, bringing them to justice, and col lecting the reward So I struck out for Galveston one day, arriving there with only $6 in my pocket-whch was soon spent-and I had to find something to do. On first leaving home, was desirous of procuring employment, so my letter of in- troduction stated. Now I wanted job. "A swift canvass of the town disclosed but one iron foundry in an active state of eruption. This was an amateur indus trial outfit in Class B, resembling a box car with funnel sticking up at one side. gAll the same, it starred the name Vulcan Iron works on board longer than the Ebullding. There was but one person in the place-a meek looking man in spec tacles, who had the air of blighted be- ing. He was moldng grate bars for the sawndll district, and from the pattern
 yout judged that was the chief pro-
 Ipt.
 Is the foreman about2' inquired of sh blighted being
 I'm him. he replied, actually blushing. What can I do for you?"
 My needs were soon explained. I told him my hard luck story from top to bot tom.
 While I'm foreman here," he confessed, with another blush, they won't allow me to hire any one. l do all the work my selfv
 And boss yourself too?" I inquired, in a burst of astonishment.
 "In a manner of speaking, I have my own way pretty much,' he continued. "I do all the work, load the melting fur mace, melt the iron, and on casting days the owner hires a couple of niggers to help me with the ladies. For years l wanted to be a foreman, and this is it." he half sobbed. making these bloody grate bars. Enough to drive Q good man daffy. But say, I can get you a job on the outside, if you'll take it"
 Of course, I would in a minute. so the unhappy boss of himself wrote me a note to the superintendent of the street car system.
 .That man Walsh is friend of mine l once saved his life, and he'll do any thing for me-"
 MT. Walsh read the note and with bad grace, I thought, set me at work with bunch of dagoes shifting a section of car track. The road was ballasted with oyster shells, which had to be chopped loose with pickaxes. At the end of two hours of brilliant achievement we came to a switch, and, while a couple of dagoes worked with crowbars for a pinch lift on the switch frog. I strengthened up and rested my hands on my hips My spine, too, needed change of scene. That move was the cut for MT. Walsh, who popped but from somewhere.
 Say, young fellow" he growled, i've haven't work enough, 1t seems, to keep

 l protested I was only waiting for the bar men to lift the edge of the frog, so I could get my hands under and help raise 1t, but the highly indignant MT. Walsh fired me just the same. He could not well ignore the request from the man who saved his life, but ,..erS was nothing in the bond to prevent MT. Walsh giving me the grand bounce on short notice, and l get 1t. He paid me off with 30 cents worth of street car tickets-two hours work at the rate of 15 cents per- That helped some, as there was no Seeing Galveston" car in those days.
 Had the peculiar significance of 30 cents been established at that time would, perhaps, have told MT. Walsh his life was worth just what it cost him to discharge the obligation he owed the foundry foreman. But alasl I was shy on repartee, the same as other necessa- ries of life, so I hit the trucks of a pas senger train to Houston.

From the Boston Post.
 One of the most interesting discoveries of recent years was made by a party of Americans recently when they stumbled upon the ruins of Teayo, the fNAlous' Lost City, of Mexico.

TRIUMPHs OF MODERN SURGERY
German Surgeon contrived Operation
 Like Plumbing Device.

That awesome bundle of potential mys- teries we call the body is made the sub ject, in the March McClures, of an ab- sorbing article on modern surgery by Samuel Hopkins Adams. This writer owns the happy faculty of seeing thing ''by and large" of grasping the essential facts and telling them wildly, with dra- matic force. He reduces technicalities to their lowest terms. and makes a surgical process as interesting and as compelling as a tale of war. The triumphs of this most modern of sciences are elucidated in the language of every day. Here is the story of the gastric ulcer an ailment as serious when cured as in the yirulent stage, for as he explains, in healing 1t causes a contraction of the stomachs g wall, narrowing that organs exit to the point of uselessness. l"1n serious cases the method has been to cut out the ulcer or scar-a complicated and dangerous re- source because of the proximity to the solar plexus, which Gas everyone knows, since MT. Fitzslmmons operated upon MT. Corbett at Carson City, for the removal of championship belD is nerve center highly susceptible to shock.
 Several years ago a German surgeon, named Wolfer, contrived an operation which is nothing more nor less than a skillful plumbing device. He cut hole in front of the ulcer, clipped off the smaller intestine, and splced the two to- gether, leaving the ulcer to take care of itself. This process short-circuited the food route. The ulcer relieved of irrita- tion from the passing over of food. soon healed; the resultant contraction didn't matter because the old exit was now out of commission, and the system of plumb ing properly took it's place among recog- nized useful operations"

 In various resolutions enlarged DOW CTS are asked for the Interstate Com merce Commission. The New York Board of Trade and Transportation, by resolution, expresses itself as opposed to any bill comforting the rate-making power on the Commission.

Denver. Jan. s.--A hot fight is ex- pected in the Senate tomorrow when the nominations of judges of the su- preme court made yesterday by Gov ernor Peabody come up for confirma- tion.
 The democrats held caucus tonight and at it's close decided that they would fight the nominations to tho su- preme bench of Bailey and Goddard with all their power. They claim more over that with the Republican Sena- tors Campbell and DeLong voting with them they will be able to prevent the continuation
 The Republican leaders decided this D. m. that they had received personal pledges from enough Republican sen ators to insure the confirmation of the two men. They were not over conf dent of the issue. however, and admit that there would be something of a struggle before confirmation was re- ceived.

Under the law, he cannot file notice of contest before the fifth day of the session, which will be tomorrow. He has several days in which to file his notice of contest, how ever. and he may not do so until after
