Tillman has running mate in the
United States senate in the person OF
Hon. Jefferson Davis of Arkansas.
The latter statesman,is not, perhaps,
the past master OF the art of vitu-

eloquent in handling "BiIlingsgate" "
English as the "pitchfork senator
from South Carolina, but he is GER
tainly a conner in that line and lew

EDISON THE VICTOR.
He HurnhIsd the Pride Of the Fast
Telsoraph Operator.

Edison made his first record as q
telegraph operator In Memphis. A con-
Temporary says be came walking into
the ONCE one morning looking like a
gerftable hayseed. He wanted Job,
and, although his appearance was not
prepossessing, the Office was short
handed, and he was assigned desk at
the st. Louis wire, the hardest In the
Office. AT the end Of the line was an
operator who was chain lightning and
knew IT," says Francis Arthur Jones
Life Of Edison"
Edison had hardly got seated before
st. Louis called. The newcomer re-
sponded, and St. Louis started on a
long report which he pumped In like
a house afre. Edison threw his leg
over the arm OF his chair. leisurely
transferred q wad Of spruce gum from
his pocket to his mouth, took up a
pen, examined 1t critically and started
in about fifty words behind. He didn't
stay there long, though. st. Louis let
out another link of speed, and still an
other, and the instrument on Edison's
table hummed like an old style Singer
sewing machine. Every man In the
Office left his desk and gathered around
the Jay TO see what he was doing with
that electric cyclone.
"Well, sir, he was right on the word
and taking 1t down In the prettiest cop
perplste hand you ever saw, even
crossing his 't's' and dottlng bis rs
and punctuating with as much care as
a man editing telegraph for printers
st. Louis got tired by and by and be-
gan to slow down. Then Edison open
ed the key and said:
"'Hollo, there! When are you going
TO get q hustle oni This Is no primer
class
"Well, sir" said the gentleman In
conclusion, that broke st. Louis all
up. He had been rawhiding Memphis
for long time, and we were terribly
sore, and to have a man In our office
who could walk all over him made us
feel like a man whose horse had won
the Derby"

look upward, and they have tails as
slender and tapering as the whip of

In the United States the most com
mon rays are called skates" The
whip tailed rays because Of their long.
slender tails with their erectlle spines
at the end, capable of inflicting severe
and dangerous wounds. are frequently
called sting rays. The common sting
ray feeds on oysters, clans and other
valuable mollusks and In the Atlantic
waters Is known as the "clam cracker"
or the skates the commonest as well
as the smallest species on the Atlantic
coast Is known as the tobacco box;
the largest is aptly called the barn
door. On the western coast of the
United States Is found the big skate,
which reaches length Of six feet,
two feet larger than Its eastern rela-
tive
Because OF it's habit of rolling itself
up when caught the common skate has
been called bonnet skate" 1t Is also
known as the hedgehog ray"
On the New Jersey coast the trawl
fishermen cut off the broad, heshy
wings" and they are sold for sad
dies" sometimes bringing 3 and even
10 cents pound. These men call the
fish ''possum," "sea possum" and bob
the fish back into the water as being
of no value.
