Mr. A. P. Bradbury, I he well known
travelling man, of Portland, was In the
city yesterday, and of course had a new
story for tbo boys, fn speaking of Irish
wit, he said: "I wonder why It I that
the Irish are alwiys charged with the
brightest things that are said. I can't
account for It on any other theory' than
ihat they must say the brighter thlnes.
Here is one I struck the other Jiy: Mike
struck a case of financial desuetude one
day that demanded relief. 80, to make a
bold strike, he went right to the office of
one of the bankers, and perhaps eaHv
the most prominent citizen of the com
munity, and a?ked lilm for the loan of
$10. Besides being very phllanthrnple,
the banker saw an oporttinlty to do Mike
rome permanent good, so he told him If
he would no down to the priest and take
the pledge he woul lend him the money,
and he needn't pay It as long as he kept
from drinking. At that rate it was likely
to he a short-lived loan. Mike came bar k
with a note from the irlest and received
the money. When the clouds break away
from a Ce!lo horizon, the sunshine la
all the brighter, and ns the $10 gold
piece came to the grateful Mike, his
whole-heart welled up In gratitude: as he
lowed an I scraped his way to the door
he stopped and said with the gravity of
a senator: "And Mlshter Frank, ave ye
should Ivver waant fer a ting an' I've
A pig In the pen ye shall have th' haalf
of him " The probability is that If the
condition of the loan was complied with
Mike has been sober ever since.

THE HEART OF AMERICA
Southern People Are American In Ideas,
Worshipful, Progressive, Patriotic.
Edward W. Lok pays a delightful and
nlmlrlng tribute to the Soulh an.l to the
80uthern people. Inspired by ihe man
agtment of the C"tton Exposition at At
lanta, Uvorgla, to keep the gates of the
great exposition closed on Hunduv. in
fact to have never seriounly considered
ror discussed opening them, Mr llok con.
tends that the Southern Idea In this mut
ter of Sabbath observance, as It Is In
great many other directions, la Hlniply
the pure, sound American Id a. rhc
most wholesome American Ideal, those
ideas upon which our government rests,
are nowhere so prevalent as they are at
f resent In the South. . . They o
not question Divine bins In Ihe South;
they accept and perpetuate them.
tellectual progress there goes hand In
hand wltha strict adherence to the ac
cepted beliefs of rHIglon. The South Tn
o.nher docs not explain the lllbie to her
children in the light of so-called "modern
teachings"; she places It In their ham's
as her mother gave It to her. An l with
the fundamental principles of religion the
Southern child Is t.-iurrlit pntrlolism and a
love of countrv; hi - e patriotism anil re.
Ilglon stand side be si.le tn the education
of A Southern child. The Southern peo
pie believe In progress, but progress along
healthy, rational lines. Theories which
mentally upset find no sympathy with
th"m. They are content to move slowly,
but sanely and surely. And some day
when the vast majority of u who live In
other portions of this country get through
vlth our camplng-otit civilization, wh"n
we drop our boastful manners, when we
get old enough to unilerstnnd that there
is a stronghold of conservatism whkh
stunds between tyranny and anarchism,
our eyes will turn toward the South. And
we will see there a people who are Ameri
can In ideas and in living: a people wor
shipful, progressive, earnest, couragous
and pntrlotlc-a people who have mad
of their land, against defeat an l preju
dice, "the heart of America."
SLEEVES, ALWAYS SLEEVES!
There Is a change In the construction
of sleeves, although It Is not yet suffi
ciently pronounced to make It self-apparent
to the general eye.

III; tl.MNS HIS POINT.
Senator Chandler Wakes Up the Inter
state Commerce tVmmtsslon.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati F.nuirer l as Iho lollowing 10
say In regard to the Interstate commerce
law :
Chairman Morrison, of the Interstate
comerve commission, today sent to the
senate a copv of the articles of organisa
tion of the Railroad Joint Traffic Associa
tion and also a copv of a letter which
te commission has sent lo Ihe attorn-y
general In the letter to th attorn"!
general the commission savs the ivgtee
nici t Is In conitici wlih the Interstate
commerce law and requests him to dlrec
the Untied States district attorney for
the Southern district of New York to In
stitute proceedings by inlunction or other
wise to prevent Its hctng carried Into
fITc-t.
The presidents' agreement Is not all
that lis original trainers meant It to bo.
As flrsl ptepare.1 and adopted It waa ihe
most ifTecllve ilocuiii'tit of the kind that
the railroad managers tia.e ever succeed,
ed In agreeing upon Then came Ihe Ylg.
orous attack upon It by Senator Chand
ler, of New Hampshire, who wrote a let
ter to I'.terstat. cunmert'e commissi n,
calling ihe attention of that lavtv to the
proposed agreement, which he declared to
le "a g'gsntlr trust and conspirncy."
Secretary Moselev. of the eommlsalon, re
plied to the senator in a rather perfunc
tory manner, which arouard Ihe Ire ot
the gentleman from New ttamp"hlre. who
Immedialelv wrote a caustic epistle to
t'hairman Morrison, of the commission,
0 which he asked to le inforntrd. among
other things, wh-ther Mr Moeelrv was
Ihe Interstate commUs'on llsclf or
whether he was only the secertarv He
also took ad.antvge of the opportunity
lo tell Mr Morrison whit the writer
thought he ought "lo do as chairman of
the commission. a'i. what the country
es.peele.1 Mm t.t do. or at least what
Senator I'hum!. r though! Hie country
Would expect Mr Morrison's reply did
nni please Mr. t'l.andler any titer than
Mr. Moeley s. an.l no wonder, for fn
honorable gentlemen who comMise the
Interstate commerce c"nnnistoii havs not
been verv nggressivr if I He veai. and
have busied themelrs largely in prepnr
Ing stctNttcal reports.

that the Inlerslal" law will he declared

before the s'.iptenie court, and that th
verv etl.-ienci of ihe commission dcpon-le
upon Its not h,.pg too vlg.irou.lv ag-gres.iv-f.
At unv rate, the 1 nmmlsalnn
and Ha rulings are no longer considered
of much Importance In the traffic de
partments of the railroad companies, and
fCoU and combinations have tt-n fre.lv
formed lately under more or less thinly
iiisguiseti devices, and Hie l. 1.. lives and
aperlal agents who. In Judge Cooley'a
time, used to iairv consternation Into
railroad oin.-rs. no longer eilsi, or If they
do exist their presence 1, no longer con
sidered to le a menace.
The last prominent attempt lu convict
anylKHly under this Inw was brought
against the oitb inls of the Ijiokawenna,
