THIS MAN Is ALWAYS COLD.

Among the latest arrivals here
this week was Frank M. Bemls.
travelling man for a Michigan fur
nituce house. Bemis is to be pitied.
for he is afflicted with o strange
disease which the doctors are un-
able to cure, and which renders it
impossible for him to keep warm.
even during the hottest days of the
summer.
The year around he is obliged to
wear five suits of Undertaking, a
heavy overcoat, a large pair of
boots and several pairs of socks.
Despite all of this, he is always
cold. He rarely contracts a cold.
and possesses a hearty appetite.
He sleeps under eight blankets, a
number of quilts, and does not
take off his clothes. Notwithstand-
ing this, he is none too warm.
While at home his gas bill is in
the neighborhood of 800 month
He has been at a number of re-

STAGGERING EXPENDITURE IN
VIEW.

If the guests of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers
is correct, steam locomotives will
soon be sent to the scrap heap
Various speakers seemed to take
the position that the railroads not
only will substitute electricity for
sCeam traction, but that they
must do it. Those which do not.
will not be eble to survive the
killing comp tition of those which
do. These electricians argued
that electricity is cheaper than
steam when once the substitu-
ton is made. However, that item
of substitution was estimated by
competent engineers to be 50, 5OO,-
600, 900, assuming that all the
railroads of the United States re-
placed steam locomotives with
electric engines. This is, indeed,
a staggering sum of money to pro-
cure merely a change in motor
power, and it furnishes all idea of
what the outlay of the railroads
in the immediate future may be.

WHAT We MAKE 1T.

One of the first and hardest
lessons the novice has to learn
upon entering the great busy world
of toll and tumult is that the
rushing, struggling. striving pub
lie has no interest in the grief of
any individual. 1t is too fully
occupied with its own advance
ment to spend thought or care
OH what does not concern or affect
it's welfare.
When we come to investigate
we will find that trouble is uni
versai, and is more equally melted
out thai we suppose. 1t comes to
us all i'll one form or another,
sometimes iii disguise, but it is
the same ugly picture when the
mask is thrown aside. Every heart
has it's own burden which wealth
cannot tighten, nor honor allevi-
ate. 1t may be in the hidden
depths, unseen by human eyes,
but it is there, nevertheless, and
will be until the spirit throws off
this mortal evil" and leaves it
behind with it's earthly tenement.
The only difference is that one
has the moral courage to meet or
overcome or else submit bravely
to the inevitable, while the other
makes no effort to lift itself from
the stream into which the tide of
circumstances has placed it, but
wastes the strength, which prop
erly exerted would put it on it's
feet, i'll vain regrets and useless
Whatever your trials and dis
appointments, keep them to your
self; they only worry your friends
and vex those who have no claim
upon your confidence. Keep q
bright face, a cheerful word and a
hopeful heart. Garry in your
bearing the dignity of self-esteem,
and let the air of prosperity fit
you like a garment. Extend to
the world a cordial hand, and re-
that life is, for the most
part, what we make it.

THE DoLLAR AND rnE PENNY.

At a religious revival liz Empo-
ria, Kan, which closed recently,
the attention Of the Rev. DR.. Nun
hall, the evangelist. was called to
the large number of pennies in the
offering. Overnight the preacher
held up a silver dollar and a cop
per penny and gave conversation
held by the two coins.
You poor little red cent, you;
you don't amount to anything.
I'd hate to be you," said the big
dollar.
: know I'm not very big" re-
piled the cent. "but the children
like me, and I can buy good
many things"
"Huhl You can't buy anything
at ALL" said the dollar. Just
look at me, big and bright and
shiny. Tcan buy a whole lot more
than you cam"
"Maybe So" said the little led
cent, meekly, "but | go to church
a heap oftener than you do, any
way"

THRILLING INCIDENT.

No more thrilling incident has
occurred IN years Than one which
took place upon the deck of the
Larchmont after that Inflated
vessel had almost been cut asun-
der in a collision. Among the
passengers was small band of
ten members of the Salvation
Army. Awakened with others at
an early hour in the morning by
the crash of wood and iron, these
Salvationists rushed to the deck
to find that there was no escape
for them. When it became appa-
rent that the ship must sink. they
gathered together, knelt upon the
deck, and amid cries of anguish,
groans of the dying, and the ehrill
whistling Of the icy gale, offered
mp prayer to Him who knows
when a sparrow falls. Rising from
their knees, they began to sing
Gospel songs AS the steamer set
tied for the last time and started
upon it's final plunge beneath the
waves, the survivors in the small
boats nearby heard a sweet-voiced
woman on the deck singing: con
ward, Christian Soldiers. What
a sublime exhibition of trust and
falthl No sham, no posing there
These Salvationists wera thrcuob
with this world and were about
to stand before the bar of the last
judgment. There was no impo-
tent struggling against the inevita-
BILE end; no terror, no screams,
but calmness. prayer and singing
Of songs, instead. Surely there is
something in a faith like this

1t is not generally known, bat
it is nevertheless a fact, that con-
victs in the Ohio penitentiary earn
as high as $50 and $50 month for
themselves, working overtime.
They have certain task to per-

they get out above their task is
credited to them. In the bolt
shop alone more than 200 men d.
vide every month 5000 for work
accomplished overtime. The con-
victs are not allowed to work more
than eight hours day. One man
in the bolt shop earns nearly $50

called a perfect mill. A large

selves more than $50 mouth.

J. W. Wilkinson, of Simonton,
Texas, colored farmer, rented
the old Carlton place near ST.
monitor last year at 81 Per acre, and
has sold 180- bales of cotton, the
product of his toll, bringing him
$4,000. This year he intends to
raise 500 bales, and in addition to
a cotton and corn crop, will raise
a large Irish potato crop. He owns

Men are not sent TO Legislature
to foist their own petty schemes
of morals upon the people. They
should represent not themselves
but the communities which elect
them, including those voters who
cast their ballots against them.
Until this idea is entertained to a
greater extent than it seems to be
at present We may expect CON
tlnuance of freak bills. 1t is an
axiom of government that the
laws are no better than the people
who make them. But it very Of
ten happens that the lawmakers
are not so good or SO sensible as
the people who elect them.

The importance of this amendment proposition it is pointed out, lies in the principle which it establishes rather than it's practi- cal application General Porter met all the objections raised with ready argument, and finally brought all the countries represented, debtor as well as creditor, into line with the sin gle exception of Switzerland, which is neither a debtor nor a creditor coun- try. There is reason to believe, how ever, that even the Swiss government will sign the convention with reserve guarding the matter of jurisdiction.

Hopes have been entertained that they may have reach ed Alcazer in safety on Saturday, but all communication with the interior is being suspended. Tidings from the Americans are awaited with anxiety.
