John Wanamakor, when postmaster general, looked into it a little, and thought the early in vestors in Western Union must have been getting about three hundred per cent a year. The North Caro lina railroad commission made such examination as its limited powers permitted, and opined that about ninety millions of the stock was wa ter having been issued as extra div idends and so on.

Why have pebpl paid cortaln in dividuals such great profits when, as universal European experience shows they could run tho telegraphing bus iness themselves, by tho agency of their government, at much less cost? The answer is, of course, that tho in dividuals conduct tho business more efficiently. That answer is approved by long use; yet it must have sounded rather odd to persons who wished to tele graph about the middle of August and found that tho three-hundrod-per-cont individuals were not con ducting the business at all. That a labor question happened to be in volved is not to tho point. Labor is the prime factor of tho industry. Eliminate efficient handling of labor, and any child could run a telegraph business. Having to choose between serving tho public efficiently at a somewhat higher ratio of operating expenso and serving it with tho last degree of demoralized inefficiency, tho compa nies cheerfully chose the latter alter native which seems quite paradox ical in persons whoso only justifica tion for the tolls they charge is tho alleged efficiency of their service. A puzzling subject, surely! We seem to see a largo rectangu lar object of yellow hue. If it is really gold, surely tho government's acid test can not harm it. Saturday Evening Post. ties.

I HE MADE IT ALL RIGHT A small boy was asked to take dinner at the homo of a distinguished professor in Princeton. The lad's mother, in fear lest he should .com mit some breach of etiquette, gave him repeated directions as to what he should and should not do. Upon his" return from .the great oc casion the mother's first question was, "Harold, did you get along at the table all right?" "Oh, yes, mamma, well enough." "You are sure you' didn't do any thing that was not perfectly 'polite and gentlemanly?" "Why, no nothing to speak of " "Then something did happen. What was it?" " "But I fixed it all-right, mamma." "Well, I got along pretty well un- til the meat came, but while I was 1 1 trying' to cut mine it slipped off on the floor. But I made it .all right." "What did you do?" . "Oh, I just said, carelessly, "That's always the way with tough meat." Youth's Companion. THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS (Morning) THE DENVER NEWS (Evening) THE hEWS-TIMES (Weekly) Hon. Thomas M.

Parretto alleges that "some bug or insect penetrated Cirullo's ear, and is now crawling or walking around in, his brain; that said bug was in his head at the time he committed the murder." This Is a repetition of Cirullo's de fense at the trial, but the" Judge took, no stock in It. A decision will be rendered later. Altoona Correspon dence Philadelphia Ledger.
