Field Shocked Hostess.

There are many stories incident
to the career of the late Eugene
Field, who not only wrote songs for
the children, but who was at times
fond Of practical jokes, which illus
trate his inimitable humor.
On one occasion he played an I'M
expected part at a dinner given in
honor of himself and his wife,
which, while it had its serious side,
was made all the more enjoyable by
the grave department of Mr.. Field.
The dinner was given by a lead
ing Chicago family. When all
were seated, Mr.. Field repaired to
the pantry, only to return in a few
moments with dozen or more cost
ly gold embroidered wineglasses,
the property Of the hostess, which,
to her silent astonishment, he pro
ceeded to hand over to each guest
one by one, a souvenir of the occa-
sion.
Great was the merriment when it
was realized that the hostess had
not contemplated parting with her
cherished glasses, bat Mr.. Field was
not yet, content Returning them
to the pantry, by previous arrange
ment with the butler he took up a
tray of old bottles and other broken
glassware and, pretending to Stun
bic, dropped it on the floor, appar-
emily SCATTERING the valuable wine
glasses.
The feelings of the hostess may
be imagined, for it was some time
before the real situation was under
stood.

1 INTEND to buy or build a
nome at Brownsville, but will
wait awhile to see whether the
S0wn is going to have water-works
and sewers and electric lights. +"
This remark, made today by re-
cent conner in Brownsville, is but
one of many similar expressions on
<he same subject. The town abso-
zutely cannot progress any further
without these utilities, and the
sooner our people realize this fact,
and go to work to secure them,
the better.

LAID 1T THE DOOR OF THE
TRUST.

The increasing number OF rail
road accidents is now attributed by
some to the fact that the rails sold
by the trust that controls this in
dustry have deteriorated in quality,
since competition was eliminated
In various instances it has been
found that broken rails were the
cause of such accidents, and in a
recent editorial on the subject the
Scientific American did not hesitate
10 hint that the inferior quality OF
rails was probably responsible for
the numerous railroad disasters
which have resulted in such great
destruction of human life within
recent years. If the charge be
rue, that the lives of the hundreds
of thousands who travel on Amer
lean railroads are being jeopardiz-
ed to swell the already enormous
fortunes of the steel monopolists,
It is enough to arouse the ire of
every honest man against that stu
peudous organization, known as the
United Steel Trust.
