The LAWS LIMIT

A big, handsome lawyer from
one Of the southern states pre-
sented himself lat the door of the
supreme court when there was an
important case being argued. He
passed by the long line of people
waiting patiently for their turn
to come, but was suddenly halted
at the entrance to the chamber.
Are you a member of tn is
BARI" asked the doorkeeper.
"Well-er-no, not exactly but
I'm a practising lawyer"
"Then you'll have to stan d in
line back there" was the response.
The southerner turned away
after pressing his point a little
longer. There was an old white
haired negro standing near him in
the corridor and to him the lawyer
said:
Look here uncle this lis an out
rage! Why have practiced law
for thirty years and that fellow
won't let me in there"
well boss" replied the old
darby looking up at him re-
spectfully "dat's all so, guess
but you got to be powerful keerful

human beings. with their own pet
theories and prejudices. The man
who appoints them is also q hum an
being, and he too has bias. which
enters into his choice Of appointees.
The result is that when the board
is called on to present figures and
facts it is influenced. consciously
or unconsciously, by the bent of
mind Of its membres. Just 80 are
members of congress influenced.
So are editors, and public speakers
and the voters themselves.
The tariff is great political
question. 1t is in politics; clear
up to its ears and will stay in
politics. 1t must be sett ed
eventually. not by the tariff
boards or commissions, bot by
the enlightened voters at the polls.
The voters will decide that they
want the tariff high or low and will
elect representatives to write their
will into law. The representatives
need no tariff board to sit over
them and attempt to nullify or
supercede the verdict of the
people. st. Joseph Observer.

Conductor to the Rescue.


There stood. looking at my. big " boarding
houses and meditating as to how could get
to Cambridge. There was no livery in town
that had a wagon big enough to carry my
trunks, and, without my baggage, l could d.
no business. But, then and there. came an
angel, in the person Of the conductor Of tn
train, to help me out of my dilemma.
4" See here. Mr.. Bellemont.' he said, " Il
you can get along with one trunk in Cam
bridge, I will fasten It on the locomotive"
Well, well. who had ever heard of such
a thing? Such an accommodating conductor
I had never met in all my forty years on the
road. That was just the thing. I only needed
one Of the trunks in which I had the most
important samples: the other goods I could
sell without samples.
Said and done was one thing. TIE con-
ductOr and engineer took hold Of the trunk
fastened II in front of the engine above the
COwcatcher, a groceryman jumped on top
OF the trunk, and away we went amid the
cheers of the bystanders
In Cambridge l wanted to take a photo
graph Of the trunk and engine, but there was
no photographer in town, so had a cartoon
made as a souvenir of this remarkable event.
But this is not all A few weeks ago |
again went to Cambridge, arriving at the
little town at s o'clock in the morning. 1t
took me just ten minutes TO find out that my
customer was not in need of any goods. This
time the train had a new car with doors wide
enough for my trunks. The train did not re-
turn to London until II. in time TO connect
with the train west to Madison. I didn't
want to lie idle at Cambridge, so I concluded
to go back to London, where I had q Gus
TONER. I would get through IN an hour with
him-or rather her "a young girl. But
disliked to team II on a large freight wagon
with my three big trunks, the only way to get
to London in time 10 finish my business before
the IL clock train But had to do it, or lose
a half days time. And time is money for
the travelling man.

Three Miles BY Specia1.

All at once saw my angel the accommo-
dating conductor, coming from the depot
Hello, my friend" I said. " I want to 60
to London badly. but dislike to team IT, Sup
posing pay you what the livery costs me.
will you run me down to London at once
It will not take you more than thirty minutes,
giving you plenty Of time to be back by II
o'clock.
The man looked at me with big eyes; then
he laughed right out into my face and said:
well, that's the best joke I ever heard.
A travelling man wants a special train in order
not to lose time" And he laughed till the
tears ran down his cheeks.
told him 1t was no joke; was in dead
earnest, and he should consider it. He said
he would consult the engineer: and the lat
. ter, equally as accommodating as the con-
ductor, said, II would pay him enough to
pay for the coal, 70 cents, he would fire I'D.
In a few minutes steam was up again. They
loaded my trunks, I jumped into the car, and
away We went I felt as proud as a peacock
because I was riding in a train, especially
made up for me so that would not lose half
a days time.

A New FORTUNE Telling.

For the young man or woman about to
enter upon\the serious business Of life such
an examination should prove invaluable. 1t
would indicate unerringly the defects and
faults to be overcome. the qualities to be cuI-
uvated. and the natural gifts possessed. In
this way ones fortune " could be told with
could be saved. and Embarrassment and hu-
initiation avoided.
II should enable the candidate to set about
his habit forming intelligentIy; teach him
his faults. and indicate methods for their cor
reCtion. And another advantage of habit
forming, as Prof. Scott points out in a re-
cent magazine article. is that persons nat
urally become fond of their habits, once
formed. No matter II the routine is at first
Gistasteful II it is useful. ia miliarity and ease
in accomplishment soon render II Ikable.
The normal and the good may become
habit readily the abnormal and bad
one will not desire to do things the wrong
or awkward way, IL the habit OF doing them
the right and easy way is once formed. Pre-
c!sion. courtesy. frugality, temperance can
be made habits
Train a child In the way II should CO.
and wnen he Is old he will not depart from it
Parents would do we'll to carefully direct the
habit forming Of their children. for in the
young are the minds and nervous systems
most plastic and susceptible to impressions
To quote from a recent essay by Prof. Scott:
" The child will not want to depart from
the way to which he has been trained. for
the habits thus acquired beget a fondness
for the acts themselves"

As we got into our seats some OF the crowd
grabbed the tail framework, and one of the

squirting little raw gasoline into the eylin-

With a crash and a roar as Of battery Of
