The way OF the transgreSSor usually
turns out TO be just as the Bible sayS-a
hard one. There has unquestionably
been a vast deal OF corruption connected
with the election Of United States Sena-
tors from West Virginia, and men sent to
that Uody to represent their Constituents
have often sold themselves at the high
price their votes could command. We
have heard of them going to Charleston
poor and coming back rich, and the only
punishment they received was that which
came from within-the sting of conscience
and the knowledge that they were held
in contempt by decent people. But the
trial and conviction OF Senator Smith last
week OIL the charge OF receiving a bribe
for his vote for United States Senator
shows thai there is always danger Of
worse things, and he has term in prison
staring him in the face. The four other
legislators involved in the same trouble
are, il is said, thinking OF pleading guilty,
for their conviction now seems certain.
1t doesn't pay to sell honor.

Stories By Workers New N. A. Fea-
ture.
Busy Folk to Take Fling at Fiction in
Magazine Section.

Something different in the way ofnews-
paper features is one that The North
American inaugurateS in its Sunday edi-
ton for July Is. Workers have been
asked to contribute short stories based
upon incidents possible in the occupations
OF the writers, the first stories are the
outcome OF an invitation sent to keepers
of apartment and boarding houses. An
invitation to stenographerS which follow
ed brought results in the shape OF scores
of manuscripts, and il is hoped that every
stenographer will write story. Ii is
now intended to make the invitation gen.
eral, and all workers except professional
writers are invited to contribute stories of
not more than 1900 words in length to
this very interesting department.
The conditions are few and simple
Aside from the length limit there are no
conditions except that the incidents upon
which the stories are founded shall be
taken from the occupation in which the
writer is engaged.
Stories are TO be paid for at S. each,
and the best story OF each Sundays quo
to is TO be awarded an additional supe-
riority prize of S..
Liberal editing is TO be allowed, it be-
ing intended that the story merit OF con-
tributiors shall count higher than mere
literary form.
Large numbers OF stories are sure to be
submitted, and it Is safe to predict that
the product will be more readable than
most OF the fiction departments. Manu-
scripts should be addressed to The Story
Department OF the Sunday North Ameri-
can.

Antique furniture evidently still holds
its charm on enough people to bring hand
some prices whenever any is offered for
sale. Atthe sale OF the personal property
OF the late Mrs. Mary M. Rockenbaugh,
conducted by her executor, Robt. Nj.
Morgan, at Halltown, on Saturday, an
tques maintained their reputation Tor
bringing good prices. Professional an
tique traders who attended the sale from
Washington and Baltimore early dropped
out OF the bidding in the contest with To-
Cal bidders. A large mantel clock, in
use IS years and still keeping good time,
was sold for SIS; double mahogany
dining table al least century old brought
5000; mahogany rocking chair brought
$50. An old blue waSh-bowl and pitch
er, the kind that antique connoiSeurS rave
about, sold for $3.50. A mahogany
side board old enough to be attractive TO
those in quest OF antiques was knocked
down at bid OF $33. Handmade piec-
ed quilts sold for tour or live dollars each,
while a pair OF candle-sticks went for
S.50.-Adp0cQh.
1t is said that our county people paid
about twice as much for antique articles
as genuine pieces in better condition
could be bought from regular dealers.

According to both the railroad officials
and the union men, who met in New
York to hear the demands of the conduct
OTIS and trainmen for 20 per cent in
crease in wages, the danger of a general
tie-up on all eastern railroads is consid-
cred more serious than at any time in
many years. Fifty-two railroads north
of the Ohio and east OF the Mississippi
rivers are involved. Twenty-Five thou
sand conductors and about $4,000 train
men are behind the demand. The rail-
way managers conceded that 90 per
cent of the conductors and trainmen
have voted to strike if their claims are
ignored.

1T is said that ga per cent Of the men,
bers OF the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and of the Order of Railway
Conductors have voted to strike unless
the eastern railroads agree to their de-
mand for increased wages. This means
that there will probably be arbitration,
resulting in an increase that will put a
heavy burden upon the railroads, to be
ultimately transferred, OF course, TO the
people. And so tine high cost OF living
gets another boost

SOME folks got bit over-sentimental
at Gettysburg last week and number OF
suggestions were made that would hardly
prove satisfactory if they SHOULD be car
ried out. There was one very sensible
proposition offered, however-and that
was TO admit Confederate veterans TO the
United States Soldiers Homes on the
same basis as Union soldiers. In our
opinion this would be genuinely good
thing, to which no reasonable person
could object. The whole Country sup
ports these institutions, and it is no more
than right that the veterans OF both North
and South should receive the benefits.
