Just as Expected.

Years ago in a little eastern village
the members Of the community wed
with each other in the growing of
pigs, and much pride was taken in
exploiting before the eyes of the local
farmers the result of the care and
effort taken with the hogs.
One old man, character in the town,
had sought for years to surpass the
weight and size of his neighbours stock
and finally, when he succeeded in rails
ing an especially fine specimen, he
was asked, just afer weighing it, how
much the scales tipped on.
He scratched his head thoughtfully
and then snapped out disgustedly:

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. est is as

Vanderbilt-A syndicate formed

will form a continuous line of electric

At present the syndicate is quietly buy

tertiary at Walla Walla for assault
with deadly weapon, says the Seattle
Times. Ever since his arrest Runer

sentenced for his crime and when ar
raigned on Saturday, declared that he
did not want an attorney. He was
slightly mixed as to his desires when
it came to pleading and was given I'M
til this morning to make up his mind
guilty and asked to be sentenced at
once.
Munson was arrested as the result
of his unprovoked attack upon L. T.
Bowe in a Ballard boarding house on
the evening Of February %, and it is
stated by one of the latter's friends
that Munson's only excuse for using
razor on his victim was to get him.
self in prison in order to escape pros
ecution for the greater crime of which
he is suspected. Nothing has been
heard from the Idaho officers concern
ing Munson, and no objection was
made to the man pleading guilty this
morning.

Mistaken in the Call.

An ambitious young man decided to
study for the ministry, because he
thought the life of a minister was an
easy one to live.
So he went to his spiritual adviser
and told him of his wish. The minister
questioned him and learning that he
was not sincere, sent him home with
some fatherly advice.
The young man was not to be so
easily discouraged, however, and short
~ after had another interview with the
clergyman, who again sent him home
with more advice.
That evening the young man had a
dream in which he saw the letters "P.

HOW ANDREW CARNEGIE HELPED

to Assist Organ Fund.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The men,
bers of the First Methodist church of
New Rochelle are a sadly disappointed
lot. Some time ago they came to the
gan would be a highly desirable addi-
ton to the equipment of their church.
One of the members wrote to Mr. An
drew Carnegie to assist the cOngrega-
ton. Mr.. Carnegie replied that if the
congregation would first raise $500, he
would see what could be done This
response was so encouraging that the
members of the congregation soon had
the money pledged Then they in
formed MIR. Carnegie, that they had
raised the required amount
In the mean time Mr.. Carnegie had
instituted a quiet investigation through
his secretary and when he was no.
titled that the congregation was wait
cons that he had found that the con-
gregation was too small for a $1,000
organ. He expressed the opinion that
a $500 organ would be sufficient and
added, that, inasmuch as they had al
ready raised that amount. they did
not need his assistance. Although
greatly disappointed. the deacons of
the church have not quite given up all
hope of obtaining help from Mr.. Car
negie. They have delegated Mr.. Henry
Siebracht, a member of the congre-
