Connecticut Farmer Cllnss 70 the
Seat All the Way.

Winsted, Conn.-John Brophy Of
campville, a farmer, has had his first
ride on a steam train.
He had driven to Thomaston, where
his horse dropped dead. The mercury
was nearly down to zero, and his
friends advised him to take a train
instead OF walking home.
Farmer Brophy approached the
ticket office reluctantly and bought a
ticket. When the little piece Of card
board was delivered to him he hesi-
tated to accept it. He knew it was
far too small to take him Ave miles to
his home.
The agent, explaining at length
that It vas not necessary to have a
long ticket to reach his destination
succeeded in assuring Brophy that No
bunco game was being pulled OF.

Wanted.-An orphan girl for a wife,

This is the gist Of the wants Of Ar
thur Congdon of Little Falls, n. Y. in
q communication written to the sec
retary Of the interior simultaneously
with his inserting the above "ad." in
a Manila newspaper. Congdon said
In his letter to the secretary that he
had read Of the offer of the govern
ment to provide for the care Of Fill
pino girls and the payment to those
of marriageable age, who married, a
sum equivalent to the cost of two
years maintenance, about $3.50
He said that his work on the farm,
where, among other duties, he cared
for 45 cows, precluded his going to
Manila for an orphan girl, but that
he would make one Of the maidens
his bride if the government would
ship him one, freight prepaid, and
send along with her the $3.50 dowry
Congdon, who evidently misinterpreted

ernment's plan for marrying off Its
eligible wards in the Philippines, is {
good-looking, husky young farmer
and insisted that he is sincere in his
desire to get Filipino bride.

The law seems to have been tardy
in getting in behind that gang of
night riders in Tennessee. From the
evidence being brought out the organ
ization seems to be the development
of ignorance and prejudice against all
men who hold themselves clean and
respectable. The courts of Tennessee
have responsible task to fulfill and
it would be calamity if justice failed
to meet the conditions fully. When a
gang like that defies the law it is
time for the law to defy the gang and
