It will soon be necessary f o r the
tired out business man who wants
an absolute rest to take an obscure
sailing vessel when he goes on ar
ocean voyage. Some of the At
lantic liners are now in practically
constant communication with one
or both shores all of the way across.
' The Minneapolis recently made
m the trip without losing touch with
the world , and a daily paper was
actually printed giving the princi
pal items of intelligence received
from both continents. It is evi
dent that betting on stocks and the
races will now be added to the ex
citements attendcnt upon a voyage
on any of the big boats. Hereto
fore it has been necessary to con
fine the sporting instincts to cards
and the run of the ship , but those
quiet times are evidently gone for
ever. State Journal.
Congressman Calderhead told a
good story the other day of the
work of the banking committee oi
the House , of which he is a leading
-t member. So many bills and schemes
for money reform have been
presented before the committee
in the last year or so that there was
scarcely a week when some bank
ers , businecs men or students of
finance were not at Washington to
give their views to the committee.
"I dropped into the committee
room one day , " said Mr. Calder
head , "and found some gentleman
unknown to me giving his ideas on
banking and the currency. In the
course of his talk referred to Wall
street as the index of the business
of the country. I interrupted him
there and remarked that I didn't
agree with him. In reply to a
question as to what I considered
the index of the country's business
I mentioned bank clearings , rail
road earning , the iron trade , etc. ,
and he then asked me what , then ,
I considered to be the relation of
Wall street to business. This re
minded me at once of fakirs that
used to come to our western coun
try. A part of their equipment
was a square of carpet which they
would lay on the ground. Then a
crowd would assemble and the fak
ir would introduce a game of
chuck-a-luck. At the end of the
game there was just as much busi
ness and just as much money there
as before ; only it had changed
hands. I told this story and then
a member of the committee intro
duced me to the grenteman I had
ceen talkingto. 'Mr. Calderhead ,
lie said , 4are you acquainted witl
Mr. Morgan ? " "It seems I had
been instructing J. Pierpont Mor
gan as to the business of Wai
street. Some time later 1 met Mr.
Morgan again , anel he remarked ,
4Mr. Calderhead , 1 have been think
ing about that chuck-a-luck story
of yours and 1 don't know but you
are right about it. ' Neverless if I
had known who it was that I was
attempting to instruct on Wall
street I would have let him severe
ly alone. " Manhattan ( Kan. ) Re

Frank Frush and Geo. Corbin
had a mis-understanding Monday
morning. Frush went after Cor
bin with a knife and was stopped

Later Frush was taken in charge
by Marshall Hilsinger who took a
loaded double barrel shotgun away
from him which it was thought he
was carrying for an evil design.
We suppose the trouble is quited
down and there will probably be
no hearing of the case.

A kiss is a peculiar proposition.
Of no use to one , yet absolute bliss

nothing the young man has to steal

The new year is now one and
one-half months old. Editors al
ways expect subscribers to square
up along about the first of the year ,
especially [ those who are delin
quent , but as I the weeks pass by
and the delinquents do not show up
it makes the editor love his advance
subscribers the more and it is then
that he feels like requoting those
beautiful lines : ' 'How dear to my
heart is the steady subscriber , who
pays in advance at the birth of the
year ; who lays down his money ,
and docs it quite gladly , and.casts
round the office a halo of cheer.
He never says 'Stop it , I cannot
afford it. ' nor 'I'm getting more
papers now than I can read , ' but
always says 'Send it , the family
likes it : in fact we all think it a
real household need. ' How wel
come he is when .he steps in the
sanctum , how he makes our hearts
throb , how he mak es our hearts
dance. We outwardly thank him ,
we inwardly bless him , the steady
subscriber who pays in advance. "
