The Art of EInIterN.

There are those who have an instinct
which prompts them TO offer verbal ca
resses to all with whom they come in
contact, and there is no doubt that, IL
such people are gifted at the same time
with good hearts, they greatly sweeten
life. They do not know how To say,
much less write, Il disagreeable SEN
tence. They see with their minds eye
the exact spot where n lattcring word
would produce pleasure or salve a
smart, and the temptation 20 say II is
very great. The pleasure they produce
delights them, and they study To pro-
duce II again. No doubt they practice
an art, but not very black art, and il
is difficult not to like them, especially
II they are women. Real ilattcry-the
really false artiCle-can hardly exist
with n warm heart. Plenty of folly and
too much desire to bc popular may go
with that but nothing clse.-Family

The Rhode Island General Assembly

The Rhode Island General Assembly
has closed its arduous labors today.
1t has given Cranston one reprcsen'
tative at the expense of Westerly and
given Providence permission To Dor
row more money. 1t mas also changed
the Providence Police Commission
law, so as to make it more satisfac.
tory to a few and more unsatisfactory
to many. The assembly just expiring
has been the same old narrow, parti-
san body The members of the ma
jority, with few exceptions. subservi-
ent to the will of the machine With
such lack of individuality and inde-
pendence il is no wonder that tho
people draw sigh of relief when 60
days drag through their weary length
and the session is brought to a close.
There is no reasonable excuse for
yearly sessions of the Rhode Island
Assembly. In most states the legisla.
lures meet once i'm two years and il
is found satisfactory. 1t is evident in
this state, however, that the machine
does not care to be separated from
the assembly too long and what the
machine thinks goes. The people pay
for the needless Legislative year and
as a general thing get poor return for
the money.

FRIDAY, April 20, 1906.

Hon. Rathbone Gardner is being
spoken of as the Democratic candi'
date for United States Senator from
this state. Mr.. Gardner, as much as
any man in the State, stands for clean
and honest politics. If the people Oh
Rhode Island want such representa-
tive in the senate, it is within thelf
mower to bring il about.

ERRATIC ENGINES
Locomotives That Act ns Though
They Were Bcwitcbed.

You never see ship launched on a
Friday, and similarly II new locomotive
hardly ever makes trial trip on that
day or on the 18Th Of the month. Even
though the superintendent may Jeer mt
the superstition. yet he knows too well
TO set II at naught, for just rs sailors
consider that some ships are unlucky
80 do train hands credit certain loco
motives with sort Of demonincal pos
session.
1t il certainly very strange the diff
ference that may be observed between
two locomotives built from the same
plans, at the same time, of similar ma
terial. One goes on her way quietly
and smoothly. never breaks down. costs
little or nothing for repairs. The other
causes trouble from the very first, runs
off the line, kills the drivers, gets into
accidents of all kinds and generally
acts as though possessed by some evil
spirit.
There was famous instance some
years ago on the South Florida rail
way. A locomotive killed SO many pco-
pie that she got the name Of "the
hearsc," and no fewer than three en-
gine drivers actually left the employ
of the company rather than continue
driving her The odd thing was that
she never seemed To injure herself.
Eventually the owners were forced to
break her up, although she was by lao
means worn out.

Judge from the following article in

"The Woonsocket Reporter says
that Pratt, the Boston sculptor has
been instructed to fashion figure
with shield to go on the new bat
tleship Rhode Island. The purpose
will be to represent perfect confidence
and repose. We respectfully suggest
for the figure Charles II. Brayton as
the superlative emblem in Rhode Is
land of confidence and repose. Under
his left arm might be placed cor
nucopia, from which Is flowing the
rights of the people of that state
into the corporation laps. In the right
hand might well be the Rhode Island
Legislature, in an humble attitude, be
seeching his Brayton niblets rs to
what he next desires of them. In the
background might be the people, un-
der an anchor of hope praying for
relief A representation like this
would come as close to the truth as
