At the session of the commission in
vestigating the charges of the scheme
of tbe state officials of West Virginia
to defeat gas and oil legislation, a
number of legislators mentioned in the
letter of United States Marshal Elliott
testified. Speaker of the House Gross
cup acknowledged that he had used his
influence against the bill to regulate
the gas and oil business, but did so be
cause he was engaged in the gas busi
ness and believed it would hurt his
business. Members of the committee
made vain efforts to commit the wit
ness to ' an . alleged ante-election deal
between Governor-elect Dawson ' and
the Standard Oil company to throw
their Influence for republican success
at the polls.

"In the little town where I spent
my vacation recently," said the busi
ress man, "Cy Mellun was accounted
tho "champeen checker player of the
state, if not of the entire country. He
had. met and defeated all the crack
players for miles around and was look
ed upon with something of reverence
by his fellow townsmen. His greatest
delight was to lure strangers into a
game at the village store, and defeat
the newcomer while a crowd of his
admiring neighbors looked on.
"Cy nearly met his Waterloo one
night, however, but saved his reputa
tion by a clever ruse. This is how he
described the event to me, in strict
confidence, however, so that is why I

Beginning of
It is just sixty-five years ago since
George Bradsnaw, the qualier-engrav
er and map-maker of Manchester,
England, was first inspired to publish
his "Time Table." It was a tiny
pampFDet bound in green cloth, and
was nothing more than a collection of
the montly time tables issued by the
seven railway companies then in ex
istence In England. Of this volume
there are now only four copies In ex
istence, but they are worth their
weight in gold.
So encouraged was Bradsnaw by
the success of this time table that in
1840 he published his "Railway Com
panion," a volume of thirty-eight
pages with maps which sold at a
shilling. These early guides were
published rather irregularly because
of the difficulty of learning the
changes in times from the railway au
thorities. They resented Bradshaw's
Interference and put every obstacle
in the way of his obtaining informa-
Authors One
"If you were asked to choose ten
authors, a partial knowledge of whose
works you regarded as essential to
the equipment of a successful modern
man, what authors would you name?"
This question, recently put to five
representative men in New York, cho
sen at random, produced the follow
ing results:
1. Homer, Plato, Dante, Goethe, Vol
taire, Balzac, Shakespeare, Carlyle,
Matthew Arnold and Emerson.
2. James Bryce, "American Com
monwealth"; Dickens, Kipling, Mark
Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Woodrow Wilson, "Popular History";
Jules Verne, Howells, H. G. Wells,
Anticipations", and Ridpath's "His
tory of the World."
3. Shakespeare, Plato, Cervantes,
Moliere, Gibbon, Goethe, Emerson,
Motley, Thackeray, Tolstoi.
Had Napoleon's Son Lived
Taking advantage of the publication
of a new edition of his "Napoleon:
The Last Phase," says the London
News, Lord Roeebery has contributed
a new chapter in which he speculates
on what might have happened if Na
poleon's luckless son had lived. He
says:
"It seems Impossible to measure the
attractive force of the youth who was
the very child of Caesar, and who for
three years had actually lived in
Paris as a king.
"His father in exile planned and
pondered much over the son's future.
What were the chances of that future
we may estimate by an incident.
When Prince Napoleon, the son of
Jerome, was in Paris under the name
of Montfort in 1845, he visited the
Hotel dee Invalides. His resemblance

Reputation
er keerlessly invited the young drum
mer to a go, an' he accepted.
" 'We hadn't made more'n eight
moves when I saw I was up agin' a
pretty tough proposition. He had me
beat for sure in the next few moves.
Gee, I could see - my reputation all
goin' to flinders an' everybody would
be givin' me the laugh. So, while pre
tendin' to study the next move, I did
some pretty tall thinkin' as to how to
get out o' the fix.
" 'Then a bright idee came to me. I
pretended to change my position on
my stool and quite by accident, o
course, upset the box on which the
candle was standin'. I made a grab
for the candle and another unfortu
nate thing happened. My knee struck
an end of the checker board, which
was hangin' over the edge of the box,
and the checker men got so badly
mixed up that by the time the candle
was lighted agin' the game was hope
lessly spiled.
" 'I was mighty glad, when the
stranger said he didn't have time to
play another game, as he had to
catch his train. The folks in the
store was terrible disappointed, as
they wanted to see me add another
victory to my list. But, say, I had a
darned close shave from losin' my rep.

Time Tables
tion. At last, through the quaker's
perseverance, they .finally agreed to
adjust their time tables by the begin
ning of the month. Thereafter it was
smooth sailing. The guide continued
to grow and prosper and to make
itself a necessity.
These early railway guides make
interesting reading. The trains are
described as first-class, second-class,
mixed, fast and mail. Third-class
travelers had the choice of sitting on
the roofs or in open wagons resem
bling cattle trucks. Gentlemen riding
in their own carriages were charged
second-class fare. Baggage was car
ried on the roof, and passengers who
sat there were cautioned to wear
their overcoats and provide them
selves with gauze spectacles. First
class fare between London and Bir
mingham was nearly double what it is
to-day and an annual subscription
ticket from London to Brighton and
back cost $500.

He Knew It All.
Oh. once there lived upon this earth,
In- a lone forgotten - land,
A man who vowed that women
He had learned to understand.
He wrote down all their qualities,
And by the rule of three
He managed to evolve at last
A wonderousj theory!
He knew when they would laugh or
cry
. He only had to count!
He knew when they would smile or
sigh.
He knew not only when, but why.
And the exact amount!
He knew just what a woman meant
This scholar so astute!
When she called pins 'magnificent''
. And baby hippos "cute."
He knew just when her no meant yes;
He knew, indeed oh pause!
He knew the magic meaning
Of the little word "because."
He knew it all. or thought he did
Oh comedy of life!
Until one day he married
a aeiigntrui imie wife.
Alas! Alack! Oh, mercy me!
Now what do you suppose?
She wouldn't live by rule of three,
She laughed at all his theory.
And led him by the nose.

Knives for the One-Armed.
"What is that thing over there?"
asked a man ou a high stool at a
lunch counter.
The thing he was pointing at was
shaped like a sickle, had a handle,
and at the very tip of the blade was
a pronged fork.
"That?" said the waiter. "Why,
that's a one-armed knife. Ever see
one before?" And he passed it over
the counter for inspection. "Nearly
all restaurants keep them in their
stock of cutlery nowadays.
"You see, the one-armed man can't
cut his meat with the same motion
that you or -1 use. He must be'ar
down on his steak or chop, and to
make the work easier for him some
wise chap invented this sickle shaped
knife with a fork attached.

principle of the half circular cutter
harnessmakers use. To be sure, we
have tokeep-them sharp or their use

Born on Field of Waterloo.
There was recently living in a town
in Germany a woman who was born
actually on the field of Waterloo while
the battle was raging. Her mother,
an Irishwoman of noble family, had
married a German officer and followed
him to the wars. She was present at
every battle in the Peninsula in which
he fought. Then she went into Bel
gium, and on the night before Water
loo she, with another woman, lay out
for hours in the wet under trees and
hedges. While the battle was still
raging she was taken ill, and was car
ried into a shed, where her babe was
born. It was a terrible cradle for the
little one; it had been used as a field
hospital, and all around lay the shat
tered limbs wTiich the surgeons .had
amputated. But child and mother
throve. The baby was christened
"Waterloo," and lived to marry and
settle down in Hanover.
Oldest German Is Gaspard Griesser.
The senior inhabitant of the Ger
man empire is an old man named Gas
pard Griesser, who lives in the village
of Lorsch, in Hesse.
He does not know his exact age, be
cause the registers of the village do
not go as far back as- 1798, the year
in which he was born; but the rec
ords of the parish church prove that
he was baptized in December of that
year, so that he is now certainly 111
years of age. ,
Gaspard can see, hear and eat well
and can walk without support. He
spends his days smoking his pipe and
he has never left his native village.

READ AND
Register subscribers in general, and unionists in particular, will
no doubt be surprised at the tone of 'an article published on the
second page of this issue. The article is so maliciously unfair and
untrue that when the publishers first saw it their first impulse was
to either cut it out or make a bonfire of the entire edition, but
sober second thought dictated that the article (entitled "Result of
Boycott") would do the man inspiring it more harm than good,
hence its publication in the Register. Surely no decent union
man will ever spend another cent of his wages for any of the pro
ducts of a company which will assail unionism as it is assailed in
that article! . The , article is referred to here in. order that no union
man may miss reading it. Read it carefully and remember the name
of the company causing it to be printed. The Postum Cereal Com
pany, Ltd., manufactures "Postum Cereal," a questionable substitute
for coffee, and "Grape Nuts," a so-called "breakfast food."
That portion of the Register in which the article appears is
printed by a large printing house in Omaha and the publishers of
the Register have made arrangements to have somebody else help
them print this paper in future. One dose of "Post-Nuts" is
enough. Central City (S. D.) Register.

Held Court in Railroad Car.
A short time ago when a train on
the Russian railway from Tashkend
stopped at Tchernaievo a well-dressed
man got into a carriage marked "no
smoking allowed" and, taking out his
case, began to smoke a cigarette. The
other passengers politely called his
attention to the fact that he was not
in a smoking carriage, but he paid no
heed to them and went on smoking.
It so happened that one of the travel
ers was a justice of the peace, who
thereupon got up, took his chain of
office out of his bag and declared .the
carriage a court of law. The smoker
was found guilty and fined fifty rubles
and, as he would not give his name
and declared that he had no money',
he was imprisoned in the guard's van
until he paid the fine.
Ancient Book Long Hidden.
Clyde A. Mcintosh of Fort Fairfield,

volume dropped down into the wall of

not deemed worth while to ferret it
out from its hiding place.

The watch had a most costly music

in the street about tbe theft. He ad
