Two Irlshmen got the contract to
clean well. Pat tied rope around
his middle, and Nike lowered him into
the well. When Pat was through
cleaning, Mike began to hoist him up,
but when he was halfway up he called
to his companion in the well:
"Hculd on minnit, Pat, till spit
on me hands" and let go Of the rope.
Naturally Pat descended again little
too rapidly for comfort When Mike
roalized his bunder, he ran TO the well
and called down:

"This IS My Sand Birthday"
Robert M. LaFOIlette.

Robert Marion La Toilette, United States Senator from Washington, and who Is receiving some mention as a possible candidate for the Presidency on the Republican ticket next year, was born at Primrose, Wis, June fl, 1855. Senator La Follette's two most conspicuous qualities are his ability as political organizer He received his education at the University of Wiscon- sin and after his graduation in 1879 was admitted to the bar. From 1885 to 1891 he was a Representative in Congress. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee he had a prom inent part in framing the Mckinley tariff bill. In 1901 he was elected Governor of Wisconsin and continued in that office until chosen Senator During his term as Governor he gave especial attention to legislation affect ing railroads and was most active in securing laws in Wisconsin to curb the alleged abuses of the railroads and other big corporations. He was one of the first to advocate the control of railroad rates within the State by a State Commission and he brought about the adoption of measure to tax railoTad property by the same sys- tenn and at the same rate as other taxable property. He also led a move ment to nominate all candidates by direct vote, which was enacted into law by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1904.

A RIGHTEoTs YERDICr.

By recent decision, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York has settled 1t that one who rides on a car is entitled to at least decent treatment from the employees of the road. It seems that MT. Danziger was the recipient of some very insult ing and offensive language from a guard on the Elevated Railroad. In- stead of smashing the fellows mouth, as would perhaps have been the prop CT thing to do. he sued the company for damages and the lower court awarded him s75o. which the higher court has affirmed
 few verdicts of this kind ought to have a good effect, not only in New York but elsewhere. It is true that employees, especially on street-cars, frequently have much to contend against. Patrons are not always as careful and considerate as they might be, and sometimes they give needless trouble, but such things must be en- dured. Those who travel in street. cars or on the railroads cannot expect
 
 the polished manners of the court or the ballroom, but they have a right to expect and receive decent treatment and language. The employees are of- ten over-worked and subjected to severe mental and physical strain almost be- yond human endurance. but for all that the travelling public should not be subjected to coarse insults or to discourteous or offensive treatment. That they do not receive such as a general thing is creditable to the offl- cials. but when they do they should take such action as will teach a lesson to the boors who are sometimes placed in positions of trust. Verdicts like that in the Danziger case will have a good effect.
