whats wrong" asked the great
fnancier. "Is your grandmother dead?'
Little Willie had been taught that
honesty was always the best policy.
He was a good boy. He never sneaked
stamps from his employer, and he new
er threw the pretty typewriter into
fits by whispering to her that he had
just seen mouse scoot under her
desk. Being a truthful boy, little
Willie replied:
''No, sir. I amt got no grandmoth-
er. But the club that's in first place
is going to play here today, and I'd
like to see the game"
The old gentleman stared at him
helplessly for moment and then drew
from his pocket So, which he handed
to the boy. a.
All, reader, you have already guessed
that the great man felt in duty bound
to encourage such frankness-but wait.
Here said Henry Hardrocks,
there's your weeks wages. Don't come
back any more. A boy that can't get
up even poor excuse, on such an oc-
casion as the present one would never
amount to anything in this business"

own reward virtue continues to have
few competitors. - Chicago Record

Eastern financial papers are gravely
discussing the question, who owns the
waterways throughout the United
States?" This recalls the famous contro-
versy between the priests and the kings
in Holland when the windmill was in
vented. The priests claimed the own.
ership of the wind on the theory that
God, in his infinite wisdom, had placed
them in charge ofthis important element
of the universe. The king. on the other
hand, claimed ownership of the wind
because of his dominion over the land.
The issue developed immense proportions
and the entire nation was divided into
two camps. In the meantime, both the
kings and the priests levied tribute on
the mill owners, who in turn robbed the
people. This process, with slight varia-
lions, has been in vogue ever since

no solution to offer aud founders help

this stalwart republican paper to have
pointed out a remedy if the democratic

He would have told the working people
to vote the republican ticket and all
would be lovely. But alas!

was charged by the republicans with
being directly responsible for it. But
with a panic on under a republican

The time-honored title of Presiding
Elder was abolished in the fiual session
ofthe Conference, by the adoption of the
minority report of the Revision Com.
mittee, recommending that the name be
changed to district superintendent"
This radical change of terms is the out
growth of a desire 10 denote the Office
more correctly. Tt~has been felt for a
long while that since the presiding elder is
to day in reality superintendent that
this term should be given him, since his
Office is no longer merely sacramento

The first session of the Sixtieth Con-
gress adjourned Saturday night. The
session, like others that have gone before
it, was remarkable principally for the
little accomplished in the way of I'M
portant legislation. Its most marked
feature was the continual snarl between
the White House and the Capitol, the
Chiei Executive repeatedly insisting upon
the passage of various measures, only to
meet with fiat refusal by Congress time
and again. The closing hours of the ses-
sion saw a flibuster conducted almost
single handed by Senator La Toilette
against his party, which had lined up for
the passage offs nefarious currency meas
ure. framed almost solely for political
effect by the republicans, and which was
finally passed by trick of the party lead
ers. Senator La Toilette in his filibuster
talked continuously against the bill for IS
hours and as minutes, making new long
distance talking record, but without avail,
as the party was in such desperate
straights it was compelled TO do some
thing for the Wall Street treasury raiders,
and crowded the bill through. The meas
ure is framed clearly in the interests of
the stock gamblers and is expected to be
the winning card Of the republicans in
getting the support of that most powerful
factor,-the moneyed interests,-in the
coming presidential campaign.
