ROUTED HIS CREDITOR.
Lespes, the French Writer, Adopted G
Most Effective Method.

"o6S CucCkNe "okhoos
Lespes, the French journalist. known
as Timothee Trimm. was once disagree
ably intruded on by a creditor, who an
nouuced his intention of not departing
until he was paid. The creditor plant
ed himself on a chair. and Lespes be
held him, with CONSERVATION. draw
bread and cheese from his pockets, as
though to fortify himself against
events.
Several hours glided by. Lespes had
resumed his writing and finished an
article. The creditor showed no signs
OF moving. Suddenly Lespes rose and
with bits Of newspaper began carefully
blocking all the apertures through
which air could come into the room.
He then made preparations for lighting
a charcoal fire, but before applying the
match pasted on the wall just opposite
the creditors eyes a paper thus lacon-
ically worded:
Take notice that we died of our own
will"
What are you doing?" exclaimed the
creditor uneasily.
Your society would render life intol-
cradle, so we are going to commit sui
eide together" answered Timothee
TRANQUILITY.
1t is needless to say that the creditor
decamped without waiting for results
and without his money.-Argonaut.

A DEAL IN STOCKS.
Comment Of the Man Who Witnessed
the Quick Transaction,

Sitting at his desk on the tenth floor
Of a Wall street building the man in
charge Of the investment department
of u Stock Exchange house was dis
cussing the bond market with q visitor.
A message from the telegraph room
was laid upon his desk. Pardon me-"
he said to his visitor as be picked up
his telephone instrument and asked for
a Philadelphia connection. He imme-
diately replaced the receiver. and the
discussion of the bond market was re-
sumed. The telephone bell rang. Par
don me-" said the investment expert
again as he lifted the telephone instru-
ment. I'll take those fifty shares" he
said into the telephone.
Evidently he got them. He broke off
the connection, wrote a message for
the wire and sent 1t off to. the telegraph
room by boy. The discussion Of the
bond market was resumed once more
and continued until another message
came from the wire room. The invest
ment expert merely glanced at it and
went on with the conversation.
His visitor broke in to ask a question
"Do you mind telling me the nature of
that transaction you have just con-
cluded?" Just then?" said the invest.
ment expert why. l bought fifty
shares of an investment stock in Phila.
delphia by telephone and sold them in
Columbus, O.. by our private telegraph
wire. What about it?" "Oh. nothing
said the visitor, ''only it occurred to me
that few years ago it might have
taken four weeks instead Of four min
utes to do it" Then they went on will,

First Day of the Privilege Convention

as in old days, in quiet and secluded
office of the City Hall?"
At this point there was vigorous
interruption from the bosses and one
of them, Mr.. Slatemaker rose in his
place and angirly retorted-"You've
given the answer yourself-that crazy
town adopted Commission Govern.
ment.
Then, in Heavens name" replied
ed commissioners of your own"
How could l" came the hot reply.
'.The people and the candidates ran
the whole thing between them. The
candidates nominated themselves by
petition and the people selected five at
the election. I put up candidates and
the people turned them down"
"How on earth could the people
make up tickets for themselves and
vote the whole list without your as.
sistance?"
Because there were only five of.
ficers to elect. The people of Tren.
ton can remember five names and
every blooming voter picked his own
ticket and remembered it in his head
The Short Ballot was so easy that
every citizen in town was being boss
and thought himself just as smart as
the professionals"
DO you mean to say that if we &c
to Trenton now to got contract, there
! is no one behind the officials but the
people?"
| Exactly"
WELL" said Chairman Bondedwa
ter, What can be done?'
abolish Commission Government,
and go back to the old Mayor and
Council plan with a lot of elective of
| ficials and lots of private politics and
thorough entangling of responsible
have private boss to hold it together
the candidates will have to have the
cooperation of a machine and the vot
ers will have to have party labels or
| the ballot to keep them from voting
| for Prohibitionists for the minor of
| fees"
To avoid prolonging this colloquy il
was voted that a committee on the
Reform of Commission Government,
| be appointed to consider the matter
and report.
! A number of addresses were made
on patriotic subjects, denouncing the
| Commission plan as un-American, aft
er which the meeting adjourned till

palladium Specially

NEW YORK, July 13.-The joint
convention of the National Association
for the Protection of Privilege and
the National bund was opened at
noon today by Chairman Bondedwater
amid much enthusiasm. Mr.. Bonded
water, whose charities are we'll known,
is one of the foremost privileged men
of the land and is the idol of the Boss
es, many of whom he has let in on
various franchise deals to their great
pecuniary advantage. His opening adj
dress was pacific in tone and~was di-
rected mainly at the bosses who were
separated from the magnates at one
side of the auditorium. After stating
that many traction and other mag
ers such as sinecure officials, had
found the service rendered by modern
bossism less satisfactory than in for
mer years, he went on to eXalt the
stars and stripes in eloquent and tear
full terms, using as his text the flag
which happened to be draped on the
arms and seat of the chair on which
he had been sitting. In conclusion he
said:
But what has been the history Of
the freedom of wealth to find profit
able investment at popular expense
via our government in these latter de-
cadent days? You Of the politician
class once served us splendidly and
your promises were reckoned as ne
gotiable cash in Wall Street. l have
seen the time when a penniless man
armed with the word of a single boss,
could find ready welcome in Socka-
fellows office and exchange that word
for shares of stock worth many thous-
ands. Today, gentlemen, we dare not
capitalize your promises until they are
awaiting you, you fail to come. Our
surplus funds earn five per cent.-no
more-vainly waiting for you to de-
liver some kind of vested cinch from
the public treasury. In these days it
has actually been my misfortune to
see one of you who once held Tren.
ton, N. j., in the hollow of his hand,
going before the new Commission OF
that town and publicly-publicly,
say-requesting some picayune favor
in exactly the legal manner that any
humblest citizen might adopt and
pleading the matter on it's merits, too!
Why did that boss not issue an order

His Preference.

A distinguished eye surgeon tells a
good story of his hospital days. Three
other young. newly fiedged oculists.
and himself were chatting in their
quarters in the hospital when the con-
versation turned, as was natural in
young men, upon the beauty Of differ
ent colors of eyes. One championed
the superior brilliancy and sparkle of
the blue eye, another the depth and
Gre of the brown. while the third was
all for the clear, cool light Of the
hazel. After they had exhausted their
eloquence, with the usual effect of con-
frming themselves in their original
opinions, the fourth young sawbones
suddenly broke in: ~ don't care a hang
about your blue eyes or your brown
eyes. or your gray eyes! Just give me
sore eyes and plenty of 'em, and I'll be
happy."-Saturday Evening Post.

INSTALLING BLOCK
SIGNAL SYSTEMS
IMPROVEMENTS ON MOP.
FORT SMITH BRANCH SOON TO
BE EQUIPPED WITH BLOCK
SIGNALS.

The work of installing the block
signal system, which has been in pro-
gress on the main lines of the Mis-
souri, Pacific for some months, is now
being pushed from Osawatomie. Kan
sas, by way of Coffeyville and Fort
Smith to Little Rock, according to an
official circular from the company's
department of publicity, which was
received by the Log Cabin Democrat
today. This system is ALREADY in op-
GRAFTON on the Iron Mountain main
line, from ST. Louis to Texarkana,
and within short time every part of
thhe Missouri Pacific lines, both main
and branch, over which the traffic is
heavy, will be protected by block sig
mails.
1t is next to impossible for col
lis.on to occur where these block sig
mails are in use. These signals are
normally set at danger" so that no
train can enter block, or space be-
tween one signal and the next signal
beyond, until the block is released for
1t to proceed. This not only protects
the train from running into another
in front of it, but also protects il
from having any other train run into
1t from the rear.
AS an additional precaution and
convenience telephones enclosed in
booths are placed at every sidetrack
along the entire area covered by the
block signal system, and there will
also be telephones in all stations, so
that crew on the sidetrack can com
munlcate at any time by telephone
with the tran dispatcher's and learn
the exact condition of affairs ahead
and behind, and when the track will
probably be clear of them. If they
have noticed any flaw or defect of
any kind on the track they can also
notify the proper officials at once, and
all other trains can be warned and
men sent Immediately to remedy the
trouble

A congregational meeting was held

GOVERNOR PROUD OF
MlSSOURI.COMPLIMfN1
DECISION OF THAT STATE TO
COPY ARKANSAS CAPITAL
PLEASES DONAGHEY.

Eureka Springs, March 9.-"One
of the highest compliments | have ev-
er had come to me has just been an
nounced by the chairman of the Mis-
sour capitol commission, Col. Bell, ,"
stated Governor Donaghey, in a
speech delivered here today, when it
is stated that the commission, after
visiting the capitols of other states
had decided the one in Little Rock to
be- the most beautiful, the most con
lent and the best built. Col. Bell
states that Missouri will reproduce
the Arkansas building, so far as is
possible, and the state VIII consider
itself lucky if the building is dupli-
Gated for the $4,000,000 specified for
that purpose. Can anyone now shout
that the capitol commission of Arkan-
sas has been extravagant or suuan-
dered the money of the people? That
IS what outsiders think of your build
ing.
when Missourians come with
their architects and builders and look
over the building | have been so free
ly cussed for building, and marvel
that we have been able to build it for
the amount of money expended, and
are willing to pay much more to get
one like it, it seems that there is bit
of tribute coming to someone, and |
am not too modest to claim bit of it
for myself. | have never been any
where in Arkansas yet that | did not
find the people proud of our magnfi-
cent structure. and | am glad that
our neighbors across the border feel
the same about it."
