Lost His Roll.

There is a certain township out in Gal
liza county, Ohio, which is chuckling over
the strangest chicken stealing mixup that
was ever known in that part OF the coun-
ty. A farmer named Smith, who breeds
fancy poultry, went out TO feed his valu-
able hens the other morning and found
that they were gone, having been stolen
during the night. Casting about over the
ground, he found a pocketbook. He ex-
amined it and found that il contained the
owner'sname and address and $3.50 inbillS.
Smith put the book in his trousers and
rubbed his hands complacently. He
didn't even offer to pay reward for the
return OF his hens. II wasn't long before
the man whose name was in the wallet
appeared and inquired if Smith had
chickens to sell. The reply was that the
chickens had already been sold. Then
the visitor made an excuse to get into the
coop and began searching its floor. Fail
ing to. find anything, he went away.
Smith meant to keep still, but il was too
much for him, and he had TO take few oi
his neighbors into his confidence. So far
there have been no negotiations between
the poSsessors OF the hens and the pock-
etbook.

"For heavens sake, man" the dispat-
cher was saying to the operator at Ma
rion, "can't you do something ?"
Nothing" came the reply. "Station
there closes seven thirty no night tele-
phone service; no time if there was"
The dispatcher leaned back. and breathed
heavily. He took out his watch, and
most of the men did likewise.
"They will meet"-he stopped as if
choking for an instant-''in six or seven
minutes. 1t will about a mile beyond
Mud Flat, on thatcrooked stretch OF road.

No one spoke, but each man watched
the secondhand of his watch as it crept
around and around. Outside down in
the yards the shrill whistle of the wreck
ing-train blew again and again, calling
the crew to duty the trainmaster was
busy at the telephone calling doctors
along the platform and in the yards men
raced in preparation for the rescue-train.
But inside the men stood silent, para
Iyzed by the horror of it, watching the
seconds tick away.

The dispatcher could stand the silence
no longer. He caught the key, and began
to curse the operator at Wellington.
"You crap-shooting ham, you have muir
dered a hundred people"-and on in
swift, lurid oaths he abused the guilty
man.
Then some one down the line broke
in. The dispatcher ceased his blasphemy
and stared at the keys as if he saw a
ghost. And every man of the scared,
anxious group leaned forward in amaze
ment
"The Lord is mercifuI and gracious" I"
the message came slowly and evenly,

&C.," desperately repeated the dis
patcher, and then Cameron answered his
call.
"Red light quick-stop train," said the
dispatcher.
"All OK" came the slow, even reply.
Freight now on siding"
Several of the men turned away, not
daring to look into one another's eyes.
The relief was too great; the dispatcher'S
hand trembIed so he could not hold the
key. The night chief stepped in, and
took hold of the instrument.
"How long have you been there ?" he
asked OF Cameron.

"How did you happen to be up at this

"What walked you ?"
Don't know. Just walked up, and

That was all the explanation he ever
gave, or ever could give.

operator at Mud Fiat, got message from
the superintendent, rather an unusual one
from such an officer. II read:

THE GUIDING STAR.
There is sea-a quiet sea.

There is asea-a quiet sea.
Beyond the iarthest line,
Where all my ships that went astray.
Where all my dreams OF yesterday.
And all the things that were to be
Are mine
There is land-a quiet land.
Beyond the setting sun,
Where every task in which quailed.
And all wherein my courage failed.
Where all the good my spirit planned
Is donel
There is hope-a quiet hope.
Within my heart instilled.
That il, undaunted. on sail,
This guiding star shall never pale,
But shine within my labor's scope,
Fulfilled
And there's a tide-a quiet tide
Flowing toward goal
That swept by every humble shore
And at its fullest ebbs no more;
And on that final swell shall ride

dnyernment by Disgusts.

In a well-known and beautiful prayer
of DR.. Henry Van Dyke is the petition
that we may be ruled by our admiratons
rather than by our disguSts. II is a
wholesome thought, with many applica-
tons. Too many Of us are governed by
resentments over minor things. Too
many OF IS cannot see the doughnut for
the hole. Too many OF us allow petty
sptes TO overcome broad views OF a sub
iect in its chief and most important bear
ings.
The fundamental difficulty with those
who allow little blemishes TO obscure
great merits and reveI in their diSgusts to
the neglect OF their admirations IS, o'
course, a defective sense Of proportion.
What is mere incident, il il is objection
able, becomes of more moment than the
event as a whole. A useful career IS
damned in their eyes because OF some
slight defect which has aroused their re-
sentiment.

We often hear it said: "You must
fight the devil with fire." He will beat
YOU at it every time. This is his imple-
ment. He is used TO il; and il makes
him laugh when he finds man coming
at him with his own favorite weapon.
The last clause Of that noble chapter,
the 18th of Romans, is, Overcome evil
with good" That is the right doctrine.

at him with that. Don'tlook at this as a
little rosy sentiment, meant for girls in

a fact as stupendous as an earthquake.
II is a moral law that reaches human life
as grayitation reaches the stars.
The only way for true man to act is
to practice the virtues, the amenities, the
generosities Of life. These are the weap-
ons that conquer. In the very nature of
things, without them, every victory is
defeat. II II were not so, the devil would

two miners were horribly beaten up
by these tools of the heartless and
tyrannical coal barons who maintaif,

in question becoming tired of the

TO remove their families, when they
were assaulted in public place and
received the treatment above referred

WASHINGTON March 1S.-That

Walker attributed the recent large
reduction: In the price Of butter to
the action .of the Elgin market, which
he declared controls the butter mar
ket of the country. The Elgin pro-
ducers cut the price Immediately af-,
ter. the present investigation started.
Walker, who Is q member of a mar
ket company which caters to the
fashionable trade in this city, told the
committee that he bought his meats
in New York because the best quail
ity was shipped there from all over
the. country.
He said he had made inquiry from
Armour & Co., the packers, to learn
why meat had gone up, and was told
that this was because there were 25,-
100000 less hogs and 100000 less
cattle in the country than there were
ten years ago. |s = 4 :.
Questioned as to the wholesale
price of butter and eggs, Walker. said
