7 Never a One Day President.
The periodic assertion is made that
#0 Sunday, March 4, 1849, Senator Da-
vid Rice Atchison of Missouri. who
wes then president pro tem. of the
senate, was president of the United
States “virtually.” He never was,
“virtually” or otherwise.
In 1793 congress enacted that in
event of no president or vice president
being ready to succeed the first office
should devolve on the president of
the senate and next on to the speaker
of the house. The succession was
changed in 1886 Now, Zachary Tay-
lor and Millard Fillmore were in Wash-
ington on March 4, 1849. It'being Sun.
day, they permitted an interregnum to
follow until the next day. Mr. Atchi-
son took no oath as president, and
without taking such he could not ex-
ercise the office. Mr. Taylor could
have taken the oath at any second
subsequent to noon on March 4. No
pompous Inauguration is demanded.
The chief justice need not administer
the oath. Arthur took it in New York
before Judge Brady at 2 a. m. and Mr.
Roosevelt in Buffalo before United
States Judge Hazel.
The “virtually” of Mr. Atchison Is
visionary unless by some bolt from the
blue the elected officials had been re-
moved.— Pittsburg Post.
Glory Everywhere.
A Methodist minister was much an-
noyed by one of his hearers frequently
shouting out during the preaching.
“Glory!” “Praise the Lord!" and the
like. Though often reproved. the hap-
pr member persisted In expressing
himself.
One day the minister invited him
to tea and, to take his mind from
thoughts of praise, handed him a sci-
entific book, full of dry facts and fig-
ures, to pass the time before tea.
Presently the minister was startled
by a sudden outburst of “Glory!”
“Halleluiah!” and “Praise the Lord!"
“What is the matter, man?’ asked
the minister.
“Why, this book says the sea Is five
miles deep?”
“Well, what of that?”
“Why. the Bible says my sins have
been cast into the depths of the sea,
and if it is that deep I need not be
afraid of thelr ever coming up again.
Glory!"
The minister gave up hopes of re-
forming him.
A Daring Escape.
The annals of Sing Sing are full of
daring escapes. A typical case was
that of Paliister and Rohlf, two con-
victed murderers, By frequent appeals
they had headed off the day of their
execution, and at length decided ou
escape at any cost—even that of life
itself. Late one night Paliister called
for a drink of milk, and as the officiai
on duty opened the cell door to give
it him he was seized, dragged in and
overpowered. The desperando then
locked the officer in the cell and, afrer
securing his keys, released his com
rade Rohlf. when they in turn over
came and disarmed the second night
watchman. This done, they offered re-
lease to three more prisoners with
whom they had made friends. These
declined the doubtful benefit, however.
whereupon the two murderers climbed
the skylight, reached the boundary
wall and dropped to liberty by the
broad Hudson, which they crossed in
a small boat.— New York Tribune.
Up Two Stumps.
Little Johnny was in the habit of
wanting more victuals put upon his
plate than he conld eat. His papa de-
cided to break him of the habit. One
day as Johnny insisted upon being
served until his plate was well filled
his papa said, “Johnny. if I give you
this you will have to eat every bit of
it or I will punish you.” Johnny prom-
fsed that he would, and bravely did
the little fellow try to do so, but in
vain. It was too much for him. He
would try again and again and then
look sorrowfully at his papa. Finally,
laying down his fork. he sald:
“Papa, If you was me which wouid
you rather do, get a licking or bust?”
Our Language.
An Intelligent foreigner is said to
have expressed himself after the foi-
lowing fashion on the absurdities of
the English language: “When | dis-
covered that 1 was quick, 1 was fast;
if 1 stood firm, 1 was fast; if 1 spent
too freely, I was fast, and that not to
eat was to fast, 1 was discouraged.
But when 1 came across the sentence,
“The first one won on $1 prize,’ 1 was
tempted to give up English and learn
some other language.”
A Little of Everything.
“The weather used to be in four acts
—spring, summer, autumn and win-
ter.”
“Well?
“But now nature seems to have gone
into vaudeville.” — Louisville Courler-
Journal.
Live Furs.
“yMamma, look!” exclaimed Mary.
“Those furs are just like mine.”
“Why, Mary. you have no furs,” re-
plied the astonished mother.
“Yes, 1 have,” said Mary, “and they
are filled with kittens.”—School Educa-
tion.
A Pleasant Change.
“So you enjoyed Venice?” sald the
traveler.
“Yes,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “It
was kind of pleasant, for a change, to
be robbed by a gondolier instead of a
hack driver.”—Washington Star.
Ancestry.
Don't step hard on a struggling mor-
tal becanse his grandfather once rob-
bed a stagecoach. None of us can go
too far back la the family record with-
out a shiver of apprehension.—Man-
chester Union.
Pants and Trousers.
Everybody talks well when he talks
in the way he likes, the way he can't
help. the way be never thinks of. The
rest is effort and pretense. The man
who says “trousers” because he likes
to say it and the man who says “pants”
becanse he likes to say it are both
good fellows with whom a frank soul |
could fraternize, but the man who says
“trousers” when he wants to say
“pants” is a craven and a truckler,
equally hateful to honest culture and
wholesome ignorance. He belongs In
the same sordid category with the man
who wears tight shoes and high col-
lars that are a torment to the flesh,
who eats olives that he doesn’t relish
and drinks uncongenial clarets in imi
tation of his genteel neighbor In the
brownstone front.—Atlantic.
The Trapdoor Spider.
One of the most singular specimens
of Insect life is the trapdoor spider of
Jamaica. His burrow is lined with
silk and closed by a trapdoor with a
hinge. The door exactly fits the en-
trance to the burrow and when closed
go precisely corresponds with the sur-
rounding earth that it can hardly be
distinguished even when its position Is
known. It is a strange sight to see
the earth open, a little lid raise, some
hairy legs protrude and gradually the
whole form of the spider show itself.
These spiders generally hunt for food
by night. and in the daytime they are
very chary of opening the door of their
domicile, and If the trap be raised from
the outside, they run to the spot, hitch
the claws of their forefeet in the lining
of the burrow and so resist with all
their might. The strength of the spider
§s wonderfully great in proportion to
its size.
He Could Run Putty.
A laborer in search of work was
asked by a builder to whom he ap-
plied if he could run putty.
He replied that he could and was
told to Le at the works at 6 o'clock
next morning. He arrived at the time
stated. and when asked If he were
ready stripped off his overcoat and dis-
closed himself to the astonished build-
er clad in running costume and pumps
“What are you going to do in those
things?" inquired the employer.
“Run utty,” answered the man.
“But 1 want you to run it down into
this hole,” said the builder.
“01 don't care if It Is down a drain”
replied the man. “Throt him out, and
orn run him.”—London Telegraph.

For a Zect. Raliroad Rate.
In November, 1906, the people of Penn-
sylvavia spoke almoss as a unit demanding
a maximum passenger rate of two cents a
mile. After baving the advantage
of the rate from Oot. 1st, 1907,
to Feb. 1st, 1908, it was arbitrarily taken
from us and she old rate of two and one
balf cents per mile restored, for the reason
shat four of our Supreme court j de-
clared shat the constitution forb our
making any such law. Now the power
that makes copstitutions should certainly
have power to change or amend them and
1 think we should demand of vur would-be
Legislators a pledge, thas if elected, shey
will use their influence to have the ma-
chinery of legislation started in the direc
sion of baving an amendment made to the
constitution 10 such plain langvage as will
leave no ground on which the four Judges
referred to can stand.
The Pennsylvania R. R. Co., recently
published their report that the rate per
mile for 1907 averaged only 1.918 cents.
Now where does this rebating and diserim-
ination come in?
For pine months of 1907 I paid two avd
one balf cents per mile. I am informed
shat what is known as commuters tickew
are issued from points within a certain dis-
tance of Philadelphia are issned as low as
seven-tenth cents per mile. While I grant
that the railroad company has a right to
do that, if it pleases, but 1 object that it
has no right to use this low rate as a means
of making an average on which to go be-
fore the courts and declare that a two-cent
rate would be confiscatory. Mileage books
at two cents per mile and commuters tiok-
ets at seven-tenth cente per mile 1s rebat-
ing, pure and simple, when I am compell-
ed to pay two and one-balf cents per mile.
It is a8 much 80 as to have a rate of 18ots.
per 100 Ibs. on oil from Whiting. Indiana,
to East St. Louis for the public and a rate
of 16 ots. between the same points for the
Standard Oil Co. For this latter offense
our courts imposed a fine of $29,000,000
on the Standard while the penalty for the
Railroad is still pending.
A railroad is a public franchise, holding
the great right of eminent domain, a righs
enjoved hy no individoal or manufacsur-
ing corporation. They all seem to miscon-
stroe the meaning of - public brauchise.
| Take, for illustration, a common postage
stamp. If I buy one I pay 2 ots. for it. If
the Peunsylvania railioad company
boys a million it pavs 2 ote. lor each one
of there. The Hobo aud our President
pay the same. All are satisfied. Now
this kind of treatment is what I construe
as the true meaning of a public franchise.
We the people of Pennsylvania have de.
manded a maximum rate of 2 ots. per mile
and we are not going to be deprived of it,
even if it goes to the extent of government
