Preparing For a Journey,


 Jerome K. Jerome recalled with rev erence habit of his methodical uncle, who, before packing for a journey, al- ways made a list" This was the system which he followed, gathered from his uncle'S own lips:
 Take a piece of paper aud put down on 1t everything you can possibly re- quire. Then go over 1t and see that 1t contains nothing you can possibly do without.
 Imagine yourself in bed. What have you got on? Very well; put it down, together with a change. You get up. What do you do? Wash yourself. What do you wash yourself with? Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you have finished. Then take your clothes. Begin at your feet What do you wear on your feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put them down. Work up till you get to your head. What do you want be- sides clothes? Put down everything.
 This is the plan the old gentleman always pursued. The list made, he would go over it carefully to see that he had forgotten nothing. Then he would go over it again and strike out everything it was possible to dispense with. Then he would lose the list,

"I will tell you sad, sad truth about them. eff you order them in Boston they are practically all fish. Yes, sir-solid, bona tide fish. Move west a bit-to Albany, say. What happens? The amount of fish in each fshball has dWindled. Proceed 10 Buffalo. A cer- tain self assertiveness begins to be ap- parent with the fish.

Goe 4he Traio stoonea.

When the late Robert Bonner DIFF. chased Maud s. he sent her to Char. ter Oak park to be trained. One day a friend of MT. Bonner left New York to visit him at tho pork, but found that the train did not stop at that station. The conductor was polite, but said that he could not go against orders. At New Haven halt was made, and MT. Bonner's friend tried to bribe the engineer with q ten dollar bill, but in vain. He was then told that Charles F. Clark, the president of the road. was on the train, and he went to him.
 ''Why don't you see the conductor ?" asked MT. Clark.
 "I have. but he will not disobey orders" .....
 ''Why rot then go forward and bribe the engineer"
 ''I tried bribery at New Haven, but it would not work"
 The absence of evasion was the best policy. MT. Clark not only gave orders to have the train stopped at Charter Oak, but promised some day to see Maud S. He had witnessed the attempt at bribery, and the frank con- fession of the Offense seemed to please him.

Ready For Market.

Two Canadians were boasting
 Where come from" said the first, i've have a salmon river that rises in some boiling springs. As the salmon climb up the river they gradually get acclimated to the heat of the water and don't mind it. Tn fact, when we fish in the highest reaches of the stream we catch our salmon ready boiled"
 ''l don't doubt that" said the second Canadian calmly. Down my way there's a curious salmon river too. 1t rises in sOIne tin mines. As the fish work up they meet lhe suspended ore in gradually increasing quantities. They get quite nlineralizs.d if they Keep On upstream. SO that If We fish at the head of the river we catch our salmon ready tinBed. and all We have to do is to pack and ship them to market"

THE cHoIcE ZOE aoYERNoR

The Republicans have nominated John
A. Mead for governor, and that IL tanta.
mount to an election. The Times admits
itself not fully satisfied with the result,
since it was fully convinced that there
was another man in the canvass who,
in It's opinion, more nearly met the re-
quirements Of the position and still an
other who had been mentioned in con-
neetion with the Office, but who declined
to stand for the nomination, the quali-
fications Of whom were such as to make
him desirable candidate. But The
Times accepts the result, realizing that
clear majority Of the votes in the
convention were cast for the Rutland
man; and the majorities rule, as they
should. And at The some time, this paper
wishes for the prospective governor tif
the wish be not prematurel successful
administration as successor to Governor
Prouty. He mas considerable acquaint-
ance throughout the state, and he has
recently been connected with the legis-
Iative branch Of the government, and
he has also served as second to the ex.
ecutive head during the past two years.
That acquaintance and those associa-
tions should serve llm well in coming
to the new duties when the electorate
shall have given him their endorsement
next fall. Mr. Fleetwood, the defeated
candidate, loses nothing in the estima-
tIon Of the people because Of his defeat.
He conducted irst-rate fight from
start to finish, and that be was not sue
cessful was scarcely due to any criticism
that might be brought sgainst him.
