THE LONGEST KILOGRAMS

THE longest news item ever transmitted by
wire was the sending of the entire Revised
Version of the New Testament to a Chicago
daily newspaper from New York on May 81.
1882. The issue of the paper containing that
single telegram comprised twenty pages, Six
teen OF which were taken up with the brand
new version of the New Testament, which had
been procured previous to its official publica-
ton. The New Testament contains p books,
goo chapters, 1859 verses, and not far from
100, 900 words.
Some years ago the circulation department
of London newspaper offered a prize for the
longest sixpenny-twelve-wo rd-telegram that
could actually be sent to its office. Out of
four hundred and fifty kilograms received, this
one gained the prize:
Administrator generals counter-revolution-
arv intercommunications uncircumstantiated.
Quartermaster generals disproportiona beness
Enthusiastically counterdstinguished uncon-
stitutionalistic incomprehensibilities."
These twelve words contain two hundred
letters, and the telegram needs two periods,
two apostrophes. and one hyphen to make it
proper English. And it does not contain the
longest possibility in the language, "proanti-

In an interval between the acts he turned to

he inquired.

talent" said the stranger.
1t has likewise been observed from time to
time, by other critics, that the home talent is
doing the best it can. But we must remember
that the home talent has to buck up against
the stranger in New York; and of him-and
her-there are according to statistics, seventy
thousand every day in the week. Or is it seven
hundred thousand!
And now, as we part, here's one for psy-
chology to answer: Why does the newly ar
rived stranger try to pose real New Yorker
until he gets to be one. and then why does he
join State society and spend the rest Of his
life trying to prove that he isn't!

THE SKY PASTURE

There's a pasture high in the starry sky,
It's crowded with flocks ever1nore,
Where the shepherd Wind rushing on be-
Drives the little white sheep before.
They pass in their flight through the fields of
night,
Near the Moon on her golden seat;
And she hides her face as the surging race
Hurries by on its soundless feet.
Over dizzy miles rush the 1eecy files,
Urged on by that whistle wild,
Till the wearied sheep fall dusky heap,
By fierce shepherd Wind up-piled.
He whistles and calls till a chill wind
falls
Oh, shrilly the shepherd complains!
And with hand pale the Moon lifts her
veil
To find not sheep remains.
Next morning the light of the sunrise bright
Gladdens the pasture again.
Shepherd Wind is asleep and the little cloud
sheep
Are nibbling the azure plain.

Il beg you to say!"
DO you care for this man:

Answer me honestly, Sis"
Yes, said the girl simply.
We'll, you don't care very much if you
don't know what to do.
Miss Haldane stared long and earnestly at
her brother. As she did so. she came to reso-
luton. sudden to the superficial view but one
toward which she had been working since she
had read the communication.

asked.

rest. He will need all his strength tomorrow.
" But this night"
- don't care what it is, you can't get it to
him tonight. Besides, that isn't the best
way
The girl sat down at her desk, picked up a
pen, and drew a sheet of paper toward her.
She OWNED what was in her brothers mind.
She knew what would be the best way after all
as well as he. Well, she would do it,
What will father say?" she asked half
curiously.
He will have enough to do explaining his
part in this transaction to say anything about
anything else.
You don't think that he
" am sorry to say it, answered young Hal
dane: ' but it was father who gave nle the clue
you know, and l dead certain that the
whole ring have put the Chief OF Police up to
his dirty work.
He turned away as he spoke and hung his
head in shame. Eleanor Haldane had already
gone through the fires, and to her overweight
soul it seemed that no further humiliation could
be brought upon her.
Maybe" She said at last, forcing herself to
speak with trembling lips and sinking heart,
he won't care after"
Don't be a fool SIS said her brother
roughly, yet not unkindly. He cares more
for you now than anything on earth except his
election, and l don't know but that he would
even let that slide"
He Wouldn't was the answer That
day at Louise Stewards, father offered me to
him if he would not publish that matter about

And he refused?"
Great God! | didn't think the old man
could sink so low"
He's been dragged down said the woman,
eager to defend her father. He has been
caught by this crowd and is helpless"
The idea of his father helpless in any situa-
ton was grimly amusing to young Haldane-
He knew him better than the woman, and I'M
derstood more clearly than she the whole situa-
ton. However it was not for him to undeceive
his sister. He nodded and said:

Never you mind about our level Sis" said
the man gently. There few people on
earth that are as high your level; and if
Gormly ever does get you, he'll be mighty
lucky"
Thank you," said the girl simply. Now,

Haldane seated himself by her side, and the
two heads were soon busily bent over the desk.

Exorbitdnt Express Rates.

Most anybody who has had the ex-
perience can sympathize with the Den
Yer man who is fighting what he terms
"robber express rates.
The editor of the INDEPENDENT de-
sired to send two packages of fine fruit
to two families in South Park the past
week as present. He bought two fine
crates of cantaloupes and two boxes of
fancy Elberta peaches, for each of
which he paid one dollar-a dollar a
crate for the cantaloupes and dollar
box for the peaches. This made four
dollars for the grower and the express
charges on the lots We're $3.50. And
than Denver. Thus it will be seen that
the Express companies receive more
money for hauling the fruit than the
farmer gets for raising and marketing
it. Were these shipments to some far
distant states, such charges would be
expected, but to Colorado points they
make fruit shipments in a measure
prohibitive. Thousands of pounds of
fruit would go out in small lots, shipped
just as this was, to relatives or friends,
if a reasonable transportation charge
would satisfy the Express companies.
But this means of distributing the
fruit, advertising the fruit sections and
doing a pleasure at the same time. be-
comes, through the exorbitant rates
charged for transportation. too much
of hardship to be indulged but to a
limited extent.
