Travelling on the Editors Pass.

A certain lawyer says that many years
ago he went to Western State, but, as
he got no clients and stood good chance
of starving to death, he decided to return
eastward again. Without any money, he
got into train for Nashville, Tennessee,
intending to seek employment as reporter
on one of the daily newspapers. When
the conductor called for his ticket he said :
II am on the staff of -, of Nash
vile; suppose you will pass me?'
The conductor looked at him sharply.
''The editor of that paper is in the
smoker. Come with me. If he Identifies
you, all right.
He followed the conductor into the
smoker; the situation was explained. Mr..
Editor said
"Oh, yes, recognize him as one of the
staff; it is all right
Before leaving the train the lawyer again
sought the editor.
"Why did you say you recognized me
I'm not on your paper.
'Im not the editor, either. I'm
travelling on his pass, and was scared to
death lest you should give me away.

IF YOU.

Find fault with others, it will make them
faultier.
Worry about your work, it will make
you less capable.
Anticipate evils, you will be sure to bring
them upon you.
Imagine you are disliked, it will make
you less likable.
Talk about your i'll health, it will make
you less healthy.
Sit bemoaning the past, you will never
get on in the future.
Talk much of what you are going to do,
you will never do it. .
Complain oflack Of opportunities, you II
miss what you have.
Wall bitterly that it is an unjust world
and life not worth living, you'll find it come
true for sure, in your own case at least.

Wants 200 Pound Wife.

George Marshall of Granville, N. Y,
a widower, advertised for wife who could
tip the beam at 200 pounds, was opposed
to race suicide, was charitably inclined, had
soft voice and quiet demeanor and could
bake good bread. No society butterfly,
clubwoman or physical culturist need ap-
ply, he added. A colored woman drag
ging three children was the first applicant.
One buxom widow was up to requirements
in every respect but weight. She travelled
several miles afoot, only to be rejected.
Marshall has received several more appli.
cations, but none is satisfactory.

Epidemic said 90 He Responsible for
Many Deaths from PuImOn-
airy Diseases.

NEW YORK. Jan. s.-Inhuenza is almost
epidemic in this city. Within the last ten
days It has spread rapidly Physicians
generally believe that the unreasonable
weather. which has prevailed of late has
helped to spread the disease.
Reports tabu!ated yesterday in the
Health departments buregu OF vital statls-
tics show that last week 1he deaths in
this city from Influenza rose from eight
to thirty-two in the week ending December
o. That influenza invariably increases the
mortality from bronchial troubles is again
demonstrated by the fact that the deaths
attributed TO bronchitis last week numbered
thirty-hve against twenty eight for the
preceding week and that the deaths from
pneumonia and bronchial pneumonia
increased from 232 I'm the week
ending December 22 10 s5s last week The
disease is particularly prevalent in
Brooklyn. Physicians OF large practice said
yesterday that the death reports showed
only a small part Of the suffering from
the disease because only a small percentage
Of those afflicted with It die.

Working in PIttsburE steel
Mill.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 9.-Three work.
men killed. seven fatally injured and
twenty-four missing is the result of an ex-
plosion torisht at the Eliza Furnace OF
the Jones & Laughlin steel works. Gas
accommodating at the base Of the furnaces
became ignited. In the resulting explosion
tons of molten metal was showered around
the furnace for radius of forty feet, over
whelming the workmen in fiery flood.
John Cramer, Andrew Featherka and
Gustav Kessles were killed. The seven in
jured are in hospitals.
While the mill officials are inclined to
believe all OF the missing men were not
cremated in the molten metal, nothing
definite is known as to their whereabouts,
only one man, George Knox, has ap-
peared since the explosion. He says every
thing happened so quick that he doubts
whether the men escaped.
Chief Peter Snyder of the Fourth fire
district was seriously injured while direct
ing the firemen to extinguish the fire which
followed the explosion. Snyder fell from
trestle thirty feet high, receiving bad in
juries.

victims learned of the disaster Women
men and children gathered before the gate
and made frantic efforts to gain admit

rushed upon the officers and tried to fight
their way into the mill. Children ran
through the streets crying the father Is

Later It became necessary to call addi-
tional police forcibly to escort the women
and children to their homes.
The officials at the mills refused to allo"
any one to enter the yard where the fur

GAMBLE READS TITLE CLEAR
south Dakota Republican Caucus
Gives Him Unanimous
Nomination.

PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 9.--(Special Tele-
gram. From the coming Of the first of the
members up to tonight, a gathering Of a
group In the hotel Hobbies means practic-
ally discussings of the senatorial situa-
tion but since the caucus action this morn
ing indorsing Senator Gamble by practic-
ally unanimous vote of all attending the
caucus. it appears to be closed incident
and but little Of that discussion is to be
heard tonight.
While the explanation of Senator Gamble
does not appear to be satisfactory to all,
it appeared to be TO the majority, and they
were satisfied to accept him after his
statement. He denied any intent of wrong
doing. and declared that he could not feel
consciousness that he had done any
wrong, but that he was following out a
precedent which had been in existence for
years among senators and representatives
I'm Washington in giving employment to de-
serving young men whereby they could
secure the means and have an opportunity
to secure an education. That the employ
ment OF his son was only at times when
places which were given out in this man
ner had been made vacant by one young
man going out and another not ready TO
step in. which was at three different times
for periods covering thirteen months and
out OF which time the boy was in school
less than six months, but all the time
within easy reach of his duties in Wash
ington.
Senator Dillon. the Gamble spokesman
on the floor of the caucus, said tn ex-
PLANTATION given by the senator wasTclear
and definite and that while they were
ready for an investigation at any time II
must include the whole congressional dele
cation. and as the Gamble forces are strong
enough to get what they want, to open ur

the most Of the session.
Speaker CLANCY is busy on his commit
tees and while he may be ready TO an
nounce the principal ones tomorrow after
noon II is not certain than any of them
will be ready until Friday. The only thing
known is that Kribs will again have the
educational committee and Parmlee thai
on bills the same as at the last session.
In the senate Dillon will head the judici.
airy committee and Byrne the appropria.
tions. The senate will create three new
committees this session, on apportionment
