This Might Have Been Interesting.

Give us, oh, give U.S. the man who sings

he will do it better-he will persevere longer. One
is scarcely sensible of fatigue whilst he marches to
music' -.>-e+
1t is clear from this that the sage of Ecclefechan
worked in Office It is easy to sit in library
at the top of the house with all noise carefully ex-
Guided and the rooster muffed and make plea for
s't the man who sings at his work. @Gl.
We would like to have Mrs. Carlyle attempt
sing h he Ssard W4o the anG the
posion would have thrown the recent powderhouse
outbreak in the east into the shade. =s- ~
Theoretically the who sings at his work Is
all right. Practically he is blooming failure: Tho
rest Of the office force arises and makes remarks.
Somebody asks him if he wouldn't just sing
make that noise. Others sympathetically say,
''Shut up'' or ''Vat ist.'' .- E..' l.-
No biographer has yet pictured Carlyle whooping
it unsteady as he threw off the French Revolution
If he had believe Mrs. Carlyle might very properly
have remarked, "hoot mon!''

The Montpelier Argus is urging the democrats Of
Vermont to make themselves greater power than
Vermont stands rockribbed in favor Of the maple
sugar industry by powerful plea in the state plat
form to have the tariff taken off of molasses.
Mrs. Alice West of Chicago is convinced that the
devil should make of all the attractive
ladies than he should of all the kinky tunes. She
stated the other day at meeting of the sisters that
ga in artistic bonnet and pretty shirt
waist bring Of the unregenerate into the fold

well feel alarm this Departure for if the
arstic bonnes and pretty shrtwaists' begin to line
up against him, he will find himself in the posi-
ton of the republican party in Texas.
The Fargo Forum had a reporter on the spot as
usual when John Wandmaker, Fargo barber with
broken roadcart wanted to get the vehicle down
town. but did not want to to the expense of hiring
dray. The street ran by the place. Mr. Wand
maker stopped it and asked the conductor if he might
stand on the rear platform and lead the cart down
by the shafts.
The conductor was accommodating, and John paid
his niekle
About half way down town two boys gave the
motorman the high sign and the car was stopped
When the boys started to get on John suddenly had
another idea.
''say, you boys'' he said, II will let both Of you
ride downtown in my roadcart for nickle and then
you will have nickle left for CANDY
The suggestion sounded good to the kids They
paid Wannamaker the ncke and climbed into the cart.
And John got his cart downtown and his own ride
free
'FThat's too much high finance for me- the con-
ductor said when the barber left his car and pulled
the roadcart into an alley:
Oliver Martin one of the 1uclziest mil that
ever struck pick to earth. He and companion named
Flower had been prospecting for weeks without touch
Ing gold and great the hardships endured that
the two almost died of exhaustion While in these
extremties they were overtaken by terrific storm,
-s2ich killed Flower. His comrade terribly weakened
by hunger and toll, might almost have been excused
ton. but he had the grit. His first thought was to
give the body OF his comrade decent burial He
started at once to dig grave at the bottom of tree
AS he threw out the earth he struck nugget which,
under the name of ''The Oliver Martin Chunk be.
came famous as the largest found in the new
world. It weighed 151 pounds ounces, and realized
$4,000 The episode is extraordinary Flower dies in
the search of god and his death reveals the gold he
had so long sought Martin, reduced to the depths of
dependency, suddenly finds himself rich man; all
the richer because his companion no longer claim
share
It pays to give up and declare oneself Fall
IN. The next effort made is likely to be the one
that starts you on the road to success.
One of the strangest supersttions in the world
Is that of the barkeeper No professional barkeeper
thinks for moment of taking drink all by himself
If he does, something happens, either fight in the
saloon and things smashed somebody manages etc

cinnat laughed at this superstition and insisted
upon having his occasional drink without treat 70,
