That EPetltion.

Some ,oftthe Democratic newspa-
pers in this state are making a la
bori6us effort to make it appear
that the Omitted States Senate, looks
lightly on the charges fled before
it against Senator's Chiffon and
Watson and they seek consolation in
the fact that that part of the petition
that was read has been expunged
from the public record of the Sen
ate.
These same newspapers overlook
the fact that the petition itself was
not rejected but was referred in the
regular, way. 1T is a matter Of rec.
cd IN the Senate and that body will
be bound to.act on 1t. The commit
tee to which. It was referfed will not
place it in a pigeon hole.
The declaration that 1t was sent
to the Senate merely for political
purposes will not excuse that body
from considering it. The petition is
"a reality and 1t is now part of the
future program of the Senate. II
will be, taken up in due time and
disposed of in the regular manner.

Would the Dtimocratic party rem

1t is quite generally admitted
that the dissolution OF the Standard

Hooking on one side of the fence.
BY looking on the other side, the

The statement is also made that

CommerclaI Hieroglynhics.

Upon looking at the hieroglyphtcs
marked on the average bill of ladlng.
order blank, installmen contract,
receipt and similar commercial
memoranda, one is fmpelled to the
belief that about two-thirds of the
clerks in the country have not had
a proper elementary educational
training. The noted turkey tracks
of Horace Greeley would be a
Rosetta stone key in comparison,
Side by side. the proverbial scrib.
bling of lawyer would be model
of excellence. A Chinese laundry
slip would be easier of translation
because the slip could be inter-
preted by by almost any nearby
Chinaman whereas only the writer
OF the commercial memoranda in
consideration could translate his
marks and the chances are that he
Himself could not declpher them
should two or three days elapse
from the time of their marking.
What induces the average clerk
or business man, to so hinder and
distract the parties to an ordinary
commercial contract in this idiotic
manner? Lack of adequate and uni
form training in penmanship may
be responsible in some cases, bur
this. Is really slim excuse to ad-
vance as the average possessor OF a
common school education can write
legiblg} it is more probable that
the devilish fault of carelessness is
chiefly responsible.
There Is absolutely no excuse for
this sort Of. earelessness. The plea
OF haste wiIi,not: do; If clerk is to
rush through his work in slovenly'
slip-shod, neglectful manner. he is
not worth his salt. to, his employer
gfhe marking of .hieroglyphics on
commercial memoranda is waste
.antflnot a saving of time and effort
because these memoranda are sup
posed to be. records of transactions
or of contracts for future reference
and if. they are illegible they are
worthless.
The, careless fellows who thus
write illegibly are usually the ones
who stay at the bottom and whining
ly wonder why the world is so cruel
to them. 1t is the careful, pains
taking. accurate man, who works
with his head as we'll as with his
hands, that is chosen for the better
positions and for those of response
billy. If any of the hieroglyphic
clerks read this. 1t is hoped they will
see the folly and the error of their
preposterous scribbling and forth
with improve themselves in that re-
spect.

vagrant memory Then he read the
letter.
It was a happy letter, charmingly
put, full of tenderness for the old IA
Their in his lonely house, carrying lit
tie directions to him, little messages
which he should deliver, little duties
he must perform.
He folded the letter and laid it ON
the table. Then he spoke with the dis
tinctness of one going firmly to his
ruin. Italy was now out of the ques-
ton: he must remain and get employ
ment somewhere. But, first, this bust
ness with the bank must be conclud-
ed. He would go up to the city with
me in the morning, execute the mort
gage and take up the note. He did
not ask me about my conference with
Randolph Mason, and so I was spared
the recital of that failure. When the
candles burned down, slept again
in the guest-chamber above the Ii
brary. but no aid came through the
gate of dreams. Hope had abandoned
this derelict to the seas.
We went into the VOLTS bank at ten
o'clock the next morning. General Cru
ger executed the mortgage, and a no
tary of the bank filled in the prepared
acknowledgment below his signature.
The bonds were delivered to the sec
rotary Of Myron Gates, the money
paid by him to General Cruger, who
delivered the cash to the bank and got
the note stamped Paid" Then, when
the transaction was concluded, we had
luncheon at q club and 1 returned to
lower Broadway after having promised
General Cruger to meet him for dinner
at the Holland.
When / entered the house, Randolph
| Mason was coming down the stairway.
He INQUIRED what business had taken
up the morning, and told him, as bit
terly as l could, the sequel to my 9TH
er story. General Cruger was now
penniless, Myron Gates had boarded
his galleon and sailed away with its
cargo without shot at his black flag
or the hack of cutlass on his gun
wales. He was over the horizon with
his loot. the thing was ended

til it arrives at its adjustment"

agreed to this plan because it left
me free to convey this place to Emily
for her marriage portion. / have since
learned that this wolf, Myron Gates,
takes these bonds"
The old man paused moment, re-
:noved his eyeglasses and laid them
on the table, then he went on, II have
also learned that the whole thing, from
its inception, was plan of Gates to
get me into his power. He, in fact.
owned the worthless securities which
were transferred to the Granite Noun
tain Insurance company. He it was
who got the four hundred thousand
dollars; he it was who directed the
bank to make out joint note while
waited for him in his Office; the de-
livery of the cash to me was part

like this. The custom had it's value,
which we forget now. When blood
letting was the penalty, sneaking cads
kept their tongues tucked back Of
their teeth and their fingers out Of
other mems pockets. The law has
disarmed the gentlemen, but left the
viper his fangs. You are wondering
now, Courtlandt, why this man was
here at the wedding luncheon; but
Emily knows nothing of all this"
Now, my dear wedding guest" he
said, smiling over the whisky, Il am

not live on it anywhere in America

discuss exile, let us see if Myron Gates
cannot be got at in some way. The
wolf might be forced to disgorge this
money; perhaps we could find way
to scorch him somewhere with a fire
brand. 1t seems to me duty Of a
rather superior sort to pour a pot Of
