A Wonderful Bit of Paper.

According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, William Bradley, veteran of the
Civil War and a devoted son of Ire
land, who lives in Germantown, told
Il good joke on himself at the last
campfire held by the comrades of
Ellis Post, 6, G.. A. r. 1t appears
that Bradley was out of sorts few
days ago, and his wife sent for the
family physician, who wrote a pre-
scription fter examining him. Hand
ing the prescription to Mrs. Bradley,
the doctor, upon departing said:
Just let your husband take that
and you'll find he will be all right in
short time" Neyt day the doctor
called again, when Mrs. Bradley
opened the door to him, her face
beaming with smiles. Sure, that
was wonderful wee bit of paper
you left yesterday she exclaimed.
civilian is better to-day" "I'm glad
to hear that" said the much pleased
medical man. "Not but what l
hadn't big job to get him to swal-
low it," went on the wife, "but, sure,
, l just wrapped up the wee bit Of
paper quite small and put 1t In a
spoonful of jam, and William swal-
lowed it unbeknownst, and by night
he was entirely better"

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

There is a quaint tradition about
how the belief In the man in the
moon originated that is worth retell-
ing.
Like so many of these beliefs, II
began way back in Eible times ana
in quite another dress. BY many ma
tions the old man is supposed to be
the one who first made his appear
ance in the book of Numbers (chap-
ter xv., verse 32). Then he was found
by the children of Israel gathering
sticks on the Sabbath day. He was
taken before Moses and condemned
to death. He was taken later out
side the camp and stoned until ne
died. One would think that was
punishment enough even for so aw-
full crime, but superstition TOOK
him to the moon, where, with bunch
of sticks on his tired old back. he
was destined to climb forevo or up the
shining hill and never reached the
ton. The story goes that his faith
full dogs were permitted to share MS
fate, and If you look carefully when
the night is clear and dark you Will
see the pair toiling away upon their
endless climb.
The face of the old man also grew
ont of the old-time tradition, but the
figures are quite plain IL one puts on
the glasses of Observation-Disclosures

A Vacation Cut Short.
BY A. B. LEWIS.

After the sporty-lOoking chap had
had breakfast at the little hotel in the
Catskills, where ho .ad come for a
few weeks vacation, the old farmer
who ran the place called him aside
and said:
II understand ye gave my boy a
big roll of money and some jewelry
to put in the safe"
Yes; l thought that was the best
place for them. You don't mind
keeping the stuff for me, do you?"
Great snakes, no." replied the
farmer, as he rubbed his hands and
chuckled. "The boy says ye brung
three purity heavy trunks with ye."
Yes; | always travel with plenty
of clothes, tennis-rackets, fishing
lines, etc. You've no objection to
SO much baggage, have you?"
mot a bit of it, sir-not bit of
it! | wish ye had brung 'leven or
twelve with ye. It's kinder funny
ye ain't recognized me yet
"No; | don't remember to have
ever seen your face before" said the
new arrival.
well, mebbe my whiskers be Il
little longer or sunthin', but ye orter
know my voice. We had quite talk
one day in Moo York"
"In-in New York;" stammered
the sporty-looking chap as he turned
pale.
Yep. Don't ye recollect bout me
handin' ye 500 fer that gold-brick?
| knowed ye the minnit | seen ye on
the wagon last night. Snakes! but
that was most bewtiful swindlc ye
worked on me, son"
"Wwhat are you going to do about
it?"
"Oh, nuthin'. I never raise no fuss
unless there's a good occashun fer 1t.
The boy says ye jest went wild over
the scenery comm up on the wagon,
an mebbe ye'd like to walk down tc
the depot an git some more views on
the way. The next train to the city
passes there 'leven-thirty, an if ye
start now, while I'm lookin' fer the
constable, yell jest about ketch 1T,
An don't do no worryin' bout that
cash Of yours, son, as I'll take the
best of care of it. :"
1t was q ten-mile walk to the depot,
but when the cleven-thirty for New
York came along it carried away
foot-sore and dustylooking individ-
ual, who scowled and muttered and
shook his fist through the car-window
as the train started off again.-From

That's impossible, Mr.. Bones de-

cannot spend three cents and then

three cents in the first place"
"Ah sho' kim" retorted the end
man. "Ah did it dis way: All had

ment to establish nine-hour workday

railroads throughout the Northwest,
which is expected-to include black
smiths and boilermakers and embrace
total of 10000 men, has been
launched.
Tho plan is being backed prin-
cipally by the Northwest Consolidated
district of the Machinists' union, al
though the blacksmiths and boiler
makers, who also have powerful or
ganizations, are looked to for active
cooperation on behalf of their re-
spective crafts. The Northwest Con-
solidated district embraces all rail,
roads north of the Union Pacific lines
and west of Chicago. A demand will
be made upon the railroads to make
the nine-hour day effective Sept. l..
For this purpose officials of the Ma
chinists' union are now preparing for
NAL notices to be served upon the rail
road companies at the beginning of
next month, thus giving them thirty
days in which to consider the plan.
Among the railroads to be asked to
establish the nine-hour day are the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern.

Iowa Central. Wisconsin Central, Chi
