WHY He Was Sorry.

To impress on young children Just
what should and what should not be
done and why, is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son. aged eight, to
carry chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started off
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter.
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy adder to her dis.

NO CHANGE TO GO WRONG
State nent OF Beauty Doctor May Have
Been True, but 1t Was Not
Gallant.

William F. Oldham, bishop of Sing
Apore, talked at dinner on his last
visit to New York, about missionary
work.
"A certain type of man," he said,
goes about declaring that we dom
inant races civilize the savage out of
existence-that we do them harm In
stead IF good
well. as a matter of fact, If these
cavaliers knew what l know about
some tribes, they would speak less
confidently. Some tribes are so de-
based that to do they anything but
good would hardly be possible They
are, in fact. just like the ugly wom-
an who visited the beauty doctor.
This woman was ugly in evorv fea-
ture, but her nose was particularly
ugly. That, no doubt, was why she
desired the beauty doctor to begin
on it.
II am willing she said, to pay
you literally, doctor. but I demand In
return substantial results. We will
start with my nose. Can you guar
antee to make it ideally beautiful
1.-THE doctor, after looking attentive
ly at the woman's nose, replied:
"'Well. madam, / can't say as to
ideal beauty, but nose like yours
couldn't help improving If l hit it with

For many years the name of George
Westinghouse has been a name to

modern fulfllment of the Aladdin

with his inventive genius became
wonder article; everything he touched
turned to gold. First it was the fam

which "he save1 more lives than

it was the system of operating rail-

candescent lamp, the gas engine, the
steam turbine, electrical motors and
machines by the score, and thousand
other inventions that placed Mr..
Westinghouse at the time of his re-
tirement in control of the largest ag
gregation of patented appliances in

landed him in Union college Two
years there were enough for him. The
magic of machinery called him away
from the academic life, and he found
happiness again by taking up his old
work In his fathers factory. 1t was
while working there that he invented
the air brake. Railroad managers who
first jeered at his idea of stopping a
train with wind" had to eat humble
crow. In a short time the invention
was in universal use and had revo-
lutionized railroading, as locomotives
could be constructed that would travej

they had that little lever in the cab.

His first prominence in electricity
came with his purchase from GauIard
& Gibbs of alternating electric eur.
rent patents. This was in 1885. and
he met great opposition from public
sentiment in trying to perfect and in.
troduce this system for lighting and
power making. At the time of the

ceived the contract for lighting by

GOOD JUDGMENT

While the Mercer Republican is
more or less wrong politically, it is
displaying mighty good judgment in
advocating the election of Col. l.. L.
Tierney to the United States Senate.
I he Republican is correct in its esti-
nate of Col. Tierney as man, and
1t will find that if he secures the
honorable position that he will make
one of the best representatives i'm the
Senate the state has ever had. The
Republican says:
Col. l.. e. Tierney is a real candi-
date for the u. S. Senatorship. He is
good man all right, and since the
Democrats are the winners we would
like to see Col. Tierney step in.

particular, that illegal votes were
registered.
