Maupin, whoso literary produc tions fill this volume, has been a membor of tho stall of The Commoner during its more than two and a hulf years oi existence, and I toko genu ine pleasure in commending his work to those who enjoy Innocent fun, delicate humor and philosophy senaoned-with sentiment. His tables, dialogues and paragraphs are to the point, ana tho wit is made subservient to tho argument he presents, Ho is especially happy in bis verse when as he oitcn doeshe ucuis with, the ten der attachments ot the family and the homely Virtues oi overy-day life, The moral in his writ ings is always .apparent and paramount, and I contribute this foreword in the bcllor tUatlho book will benefit those who aro led to peruse it.

The Retort Courteeua. Once in a while one finds a street car conductor who is inclined to be just a bit gay. A few days ago a youth, plainly from the country, boarded a Farnam street car in Omaha, and after the car started he spoke to the conductor: "Do you know Mr. Atwater, sir?" The conductor winked at some men on the platform and replied: "Intimately. Are you going to strike him for a job?" "Yes, sir," replied the youth. "Well, if I wasn't so busy managing this railway company I'd go over with you and recommend you," said the conductor. "Much obliged, sir, but I rather you wouldn't, You see I, want to make a good Impression the first time I meet him." And the conductor was so rattled that ho rang the register twice as a signal for the motorman to go ahead. ! Surprising. The 'big boy entered the school and Immediately began bullying the small er bOVS. He WftS ft .rnimh nrvnfoo nnA brutal little tough, and the way he made the smaller boys stand around "was aggravating to see. One day the smaller boys held a secret meeting and set about devising ways and means to dethrone the bully, After much discussion a pale, thoughtful youth with a-bulging bfow said: - ; "Boys, I cannot, I really cannot, stand this imposition any longer. The next time he endeavors to bully me I shall" resent it." The meeting dispersed, the pale and thoughtful youth walking away with a determined air, followed by the ad miring gaze of his comrades. The very next day the bully pitched onto the pale and thoughtful youth and instantly a fight resulted. It lasted but a brief moment. Q, that we were permitted to soy that the pale and thoughtful youth whipped the bully to a frazzle. But love of truth prevents. The pale and tnughtful youth lasted about as long as a fifty-pound chunk of Ice on an August day. And after that tho young bully was worse than ever. A PurUt. "Hello!" exclaimed the hurried man at the telephone. "Is this Short weight & Littleton's codl office?" - "Yes." ,' "What's hard coal worth a ton this morning?" "Hard coal Is worth four dollars a ton this morning." There was a gasp from the hurried man, but evidently he recovered quickly, for ho shouted: "Fpur dollars! Send, me five tons, quick." "Beg pardon, sir,1' said the clerk in the coal office, whp happened to be a recent importation from u Boston" 'while hard coal is worth but four dollars a ton the price is ten fifty de livered." This little incident teaches us tho recessity of being careful of our lan guage if we would avoid' unpleasant emotions. , t -k, Medical.. c , Did you strike old Trustleigh for a job?'? - i- . -"Yes, and got a bad case of chills and-, fever." v "How's that?"
