' from Me .Veto York Recorder.
. beicjj the season of the year for mak
‘ rasolutions, I’ve gone into the busi-
C „ vself to my usual extent—that is.
'ptedull those of the past few
I sn J linishod by a firm resolve to keep
• ' individual resolutions aro like those

unless they’re boosted along by a
strong enacting clause. In this respect

.L.e wouldn’t be anything left for the

f, minute to tell a frte and a message he
‘ „ tton. When he re iched home, at
'clock 111 the mornioK. the whole police
, —, .£ the village was uelping him along,
hile there was a smell in the air as if a big
Liliery had exploded.
cl .. h John.” moaned his wife, as he
reftj'himself all over the stair carpet, and
t held the camphor bottle under his nose,
whs’ o become of all those good resolu
tio n B.”
“ get ’em (hie) all, m’ dear,” was the
lT “but (hie) they’re so young yet that I
Tin't ,hici like to put ’em (hie) to work.”
Q ,‘ aot her chsp who was loaded to the muz
>w;tbgx)dmolutions and bad rum was
and jnz the figure-eight act all over the side
wss’oue New Year's night, when a virtu
• s ucigbbor met him and remarked:
• My poor friend! On this day of all days,
all right," said he of the load,
rttrscring a flask from his pocket. “Take

o(o,I will not; but if you have started
ttis morning with gome good resolutions—”
•*oh, thash what you want, ish It? All
right take ’em all. Don’t be modest about
II for I’ll be darned if I can do a blame
ting with ’em.”
Things aren’t as bad that way, though, as
tt y used to be when It was the fashion for
eMlowto hurry all dnv long from one
bjuse to another and rneke believe he was
muting Now Year's calls. In those good
oil times a fellow pone rally put off his reso
lutuig until next day when he was sure to
have & whacking headache to help him. I’ve
known more than one good fellow who said
that there was nothing like a headache to
help a man swear off, and nothing like
iring off to help a man to auothor big
headache; the longer it was put off the big
ger i! got.
I bepe to begin the new year by making
people laugh. If 1 con only make one man
fang iit will be worth all the work it takes
'-and it does take an awful lot to make
soma people's • faces break up. It would
taka a keg of dynamite to got a joke into
the heads of some people, and even then
you’d have to clinch them on the inside to
keep them from getting away before thoy
had get down to business.
I hope, also, to liegin the year with new
jokes, though it isn’t always a safe venture.
To ms: v people jokes are like wines—the
older they grow the tetter they are. I fl r ,d
that j kes ara a g'Kid deal li .e tunes- most
people enjoy best those they are best ac
quainted with. I went over to the Good
Samaritan home tho other day to fry and
make the old folks laugh, and I succeeded
gloriously—l never had a more appreciative
audience. All the inmates have passed 75
years or nrve, to I thought thev would
enjoy listening to some old acquaintance,
and I found 1 was right. One of the
yarns I told them was the one nbout
tho man who used a wart on the back of his
neck for a collar bottou; ’twas the jote that
Noah earne on one of his sous when the fam
ily was leaving the ark. and the young man
had been unable to And the collar button

flood having lasted so long that the vessel's

bid people aren’t the only ones who like
oldjokos best, especially if the listeners live
in the country. A circus manager once
hired anew clown, and as the fellow had
tn out of employment for a long while,
and wanted to show his gratituto to his new
emdoyor, he laid hi ret elf out to get up a

FIVE MES3YKOER EOY9.
Carnegie, Oliver, Pitcairn, VcCargo
ana Moreland In a Pittsburg Office.
From A €\o York Hun.
The story of five messenger boys begins
in the early day* of telegraphy. In a dingy
office in Pittaburg about 18d<, Audrew
Carnegie, Henry \T. Oliver, Robert Pit
cairn, Maj. William C. Moreland and David
McCargo were messenger* It is said that
they took the opp *ite of other boys, and
spent their spare moments in learning use
ful lessons. Andrew Carnegie is the
oldest of the lot, and he was the
smartest, leading all in learning how to
telegraph. He was one of the first opera
tors in the country to learn to take the
Morse .-ystem by sound, which in those days
was considered a remarkable achievement.
It did not take Thomas A. Scott long to
snatch Mr. Carnegie from the telegraph of
fice in Pittsburg into his office as private
secretary, when tee great railroad genius
took charge of the Pittsburg end of .the
road. The education the young Scotchman
received from a greater mind lifted him from
a secretary’s seat into the place of division
superintendent when Mr. Scott was moJo
vice j resident off *.e railroad. The industry
the subtle cunning and watching faith of
Scott taught him to leave his lines in other
directions than watching the divisions of a
railroad, and Scott helped him. His
place gave him the opportunity to
look into other lines of Industry, and
he drove a drift into an iron mill. Hie
pick-ax was not large, but his cunning and
thrift made up for the size of his ax. J.
Edgar Thompson, who was the president of
the Pennsylvania railroad, then gave a
great name and money to tho works now
dominated by Mr. Carnegie. At that time
Col. Scott was a power in the nation, as
well us the railroad, and Carnegie began to
gather wealth.
*Mv ambition in those days,” he said re
cently, “was to write for newspapers. I
took in material in that direction whenever
it was possible. I haunted the public library
in Allegheny and oaught on to the fact that
a distinction was made by the attendants
between the poor boys and the sons of well
to-do parents. It made me indignant. I
wrote my first public letter to the board of
control and a change was ordered. This
result more than ever resolved me to foliow
journalism, but an accident drifted me
elsewhere and I became a manufacturer.”
Thrift and industry were the derricks
which lifted Harry W. Oliver out of the
telegraph chair next to Mr. Carnegie and
made him a clerk for a big iron firm. He
is an Irishman, with a head full of cunning
about the business economies of life. It did
not take long for him to realize the possi
bilif.es of the iron t nde, and one day a slick
working block and tackle hoisted him out
of his seat at tho desk in the big firm’s
workshop and landed him in a business
that has since grown to be one of the great
est concerns in the world. He has grown
very rich, and one railroad and seven man
ufacturing concerns now feel the touch of
his hand. He lives in tho finest house in
the west, but he works too hard to enjoy
himself. He must he about 55 years of age,
and a few notches lower than Carnegie lu
tho scale of years. He once came near be
ing United States senator. He was the
brains of the tariff commission which Sena
tor Sherman says, framed the best and
fairest bill ever presented to congress.
Another Scotchman of the famous fivo is
Robert Pitcairn, who sits in the seat once
occupied by Col. Tom Scott and Mr. Carne
gie. Ha wont from a telegraph chair into
the railroad business, and he has been a
master in all the best conditions of railroad
life. He is many times a millionaire, hut
be lives for his radioed, although interested,
like Mr. Oliver in many isrge many large
manufacturing enterprises. He does the
work of about three men every day and
takes recreation only when he wants to talk
with a big friend or indulge with his coun
trymen in the melodies of Scotland. He
has denied himself promotion many time
because he likes to cling to the location
where he began as a messenger boy and has
had so many triumphs.
The fourth member of the group is David
McCargo, tho general manager of the Alle
gheny railroad. His strong Scotch char
acter lifted him into big railway concerns
early. He left the tclegranh office soon
after the other boys and took a place on the
railway.
“Think of it,” said Maj. William P.
Moreland, the last hut not least of the fa
mous five. “X stood at the key with Car
negie, Oliver, Pitcairn, McCargo and heard
the first massage pass over tho wiros that
was sent between the north and south.
James D. Reid, who was general
superintendent; David Brooks, now
living in Philadelphia, and Jackson Dun
oau of Cincinnati, had charge of the experi
ment. We had to work on short circuits m
those days, and we thought it was impossi
ble to Head a message to New York from
New Orleans, Brooks and Reid walked
over and inspected the line from the Cres
cent City to Pittsburg. After arriving
here and assuring themselves that the liue
was perfect, tho effort was ordered and
every telegraph operator on the liue, and.
in faot, the whole country, was
waiting in suspense to know
the success or failure of the effort.
Every magnet was adjusted, and every
electrician on the line stood at bis key
listening for the result. At the signal New
York called Philadelphia, the Quaker City
signaled Harrisburg, and then in quick
succession Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louisville
and New Orleans were opened to the
metropolis. No one drew a breath scarcely
until the tick came, and ill a moment nu
unbroken message was sent between the
north and south, ’’’hat may seem primitive
in three days, when there is no measuring
electric power; but then it was the talk of
the nation. This Is a hit of untold history;
but 1 shall never forget that hour.
“Mr. Carnegie never forgets the old boys,
and we shall never forget celebrating his
21st birthday. He was iScctt s confidential
clerk then, and he invited his former com
panions in the telegraph office to his home
fn Alleghenev, where his mother and brother
lived. We had a good 1 ime and parted with
mutual wishes for each other’s success. I
think thoro are no regrets among us, except
that we cannot live always.”

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, .JANUARY 9, 1892.
A FIKE COUNTY ROMANCE.
The Pathetic Tale of Peggr Ann ae Told
by an Innocent l ootclng Stranger.
From IDs .Veto York Sun.
HAMMO.tDsPOivr.Dee. 5.—“1 don’t suppose
it has got nosed around here yet about Jim
Eonesett having to shoot bis trained bear,
Sasay Sam, has it?" asked an innocent look
ing man, who had come in on the night
train and ha 1 been listening to some remi
niscences and experiences of different mem
bers of the Fairchild house circle, which was
sitting in informal session.
"Net yet,” reoiied Landlord Rest. “We
don t bear much news of that kind any more
since Stetbeus got married and Jake Lap
bam went to New York. So Sassy Sam is
dead, eh; Well, where did he live when he
was alive?”
"Down my way,” said the stranger.
“Yes, Sassy Sam is dead. Jim had to snoot
him. He got the big head, Sam did, and
Jim had to put a bullet iu it. He was au
ungrateful cub, that bear was, but what a
nice mother he had! Hia mother’s name
was Peggy Ann. She lived a number of
years on Jim’s farm, and if ever a bear had
a romantic life Foggv Ann did. Ten years
ago next soring a fine Berkshire sow be
longing to Jim gave birth to a litter of nine
coal-black pigs. This interesting pig
family was kept in an open inolosure out
near the barn, find early one morning,
when the pigs were about 3 week old,
Jim heard a great squealing among
them, and hurrying out he saw a bear get
ting out of th pen with one of the pigs un
der Its arm. The mother of tho kidnaped
pig had made the fur fly out of the bear,
aud it seemed glad to get away without tar
rying to capture more than one of the fam
ily. After that Jim moved the old sow and
her pigs to a small building that had been
used as a smoke house, where he could shut
them in and prevent further raids upon
them by bears. Twa or three da vs after
ward Jim fed his pigs and started for his
work and forgot to close the door of the
smoke house. When he came home at
night his wife told him that early In
tho afternoon she heard the pigs squealing
as if their little hearts were breaking, and
going out found the mother gone aud the
pigs huddled together in one corner of the
Inclosure. The old sow hadn’t returned to
her family when Jim and his wife went to
bed, and they were at a loss to understand
her strange disappearance. As soon as he
got up next morning Jim W9nt out to take
a look at the pigs. Everything was quiet,
and when he got to the saioke house he was
rejoiced to sou the old sow laying In her
place as comfortable as ever, suckling her
family. But what was Jim’s astonishment to
discover that the vacant place at her mater
nal fount which had been made vacant by
the heartless kidnaping raid of the bear was
filled, and that a black and furry baby bear
occupied the jilacc. The thing was plain as
day to Jim. The sow, smarting for revenge
on the bear, had taken advantage of her
first opportunity to get away, tracked the
bear to its lair, and, watching until the
heartless marauder went away on Rome
similar expedition, had kidnaped the boar’s
cub and brought it home with her.
"That cub thrived amazingly in charge
of its strange fonter mother, and grew up
and away beyond its fester brothers and
sisters. A feeling of undying affeotion
seemed knit between the boar and
Old Blacky, as tho sow was called,
and it grew stronger ns one by
one the nigs were taken awnv and fattened
and killed. Jim named the bear leggy
Ann, it being that kind of a bear. At tho
ago of two years sbo was a whopping
big animal, and Jim trained
her to work tho churning machine,
take the cows to pasture, turn tho cider
mill, drag the harrow, aud make herself
generally useful about the furm. She was
as kind aud gentle ns a sheep, and when she
wasn’t at work spent most of her time cheer
ing up her belovod foster mother, who was
getting old and feeble. The first thing
reggy Ann would do when Jim appeared iu
the morning was to hurry to meet him and
put up of her great big paws to shake hands
with him. She liked Jim next to her foster
mother, and she was a favorite with tho
whole family.
“ When Reggy Ann was 8 years old some
thing occurred that changed hr whole life.
Tho old row, her fester mother, died. I
have hoard Jim tell about the frantic way
in which poor Peggy Ann took on when she
found she was au orphan. Jim said her
grief was enough to make an undertaker
weep. They buried Old Blacky under a tree
in the orchard, aud for weeks Reggy Ann
spent all bar spare time at the grave mourn
ing for her beloved foster parent. While
she did not negleot her duties on the farm,
Reggy Ann became listless and apparently
discontented. It was noticed that she would
sand for minutes at a time and gate mourn
fully at the woods, and frequently was Been
taking long walks along the edge of the
fields where the woods began.
“ ’That ba’r’s b’ar na'.ur’s cornin’ back to
her eenoe Old Blacky died,’ Jim said to his
wife oao day, ‘an’ I'm afeerd she’ll *o back
to fust principles an’ git to be a b’ar agin
one o’ these days.’
“One evening that fall Peggy Ann went
out to Old Blacky’s grave without eating
her supper. When Jim went to bed that
night she was mourning on the grave yet.
He woke up in the night some and still
heard Reggy Ann's plaintive lamentations
at her foster mother's grave. When Jim
got up next morning Reggv Ann didn’t
oome to greet him as usual, and she was no
where to be found abont the premises.
“ ‘She’s gone baok to be a b’ar ag’in, poor
old gal!’said Jim.
“There was a great sorrow at Jim’s farm
over the going away of Reggy Ann, for she
wasn’t only a valuable piece of live stock,
but she had endeared herself to tho family
by her cheerfnl and gentle ways. No effort
was made to trace her and fetch her hack:
for. as Jim said, she had reasoned the whole
matter out and knew what she thought was
best for her to do. The backbone of winter
wag just about getting ready to be broken
tho unxt spring when Jim Honesett almost
fainted away one morning to see a big bear
come running toward him in the yard. Jim
was about to turn and leg it for the house
wben tho bear stopped and lifted one fore
paw. Then Jim recognized Peggy Ann,
and they bad a joyful time "in the
family when Jim hurried in with the
news. Aud ha had more news than the
arrival of Reggy Ann to report, for at
her side waddled . fluffy ball of coal-black
fur in the ehapo of a two weeks’ old cub.
Reggy Ann aud her cub wore given the best
of quarters and in a couple of woeks she fell
iuto the harness again and buckled Into her
work just as of old. But she wasn’t the
6ame. 3he was listless and discontented,
frequented Old Blacky’s grave and soemed
unhappy. But she kept right oa and whon
her cub was old enough they broke him to
do the work his mother had done so long
aud he got to be as apt as she was but not
so willing nor cheerful. When the young
bear got so he could do the work well Reggy
Ann disappeared again.
‘I sea it ail!’ said Jim. ‘The poor ol’
k’ar can’t stand it to be around the farm
without Old Blacky, and she didn’t have the
heart to leave us short of help. Soon at she
f;ot her son all broke into th harness she
eft the farm, an’ has gone back to the wild
erness to die amongst her o wu fslks.’
"That was Jim’s theory of Reggy Ann’s
disappearances, and I'm not going to say he
wasn’t right. Well, nobody ever heard any
thing of the old bear, and three years aud
more passed. Last month Jim B-mesett
thought he’d go out and kill a few phea
sants. Ho was sneaking along through the
woods, when he jumped a big bear out from
the roote of a fallen tree. The bear weiit
bang against another boar tree in hm burry
to got away, and evidently thinking that
Jiui was responsible for this humping
of his head, be turned and made
for Jim, as mad as a hornet. Jim himself
had started to run, but seeing that the near
would catch him from behind and have him
at a disadvantage, he turned and gave
Bruin a charge of bird shot. The shot didn’t
stop the bear, and the noxt thing Jim knew
the bear was upon him and had him down
aud was clawing and ohawing away at him
at a fearful rata Somehow, he doesn’t know
how, Jim managed to get out of the bear’s
grasp aud to bis feot. He backed away and
the bear cause tearing at him again. Jim j
gave up then, aud would mare than likely j
have been a dead man within the nex‘ five
minutes when swisb, swash, kerslosh came
something through the brush, aud before
the b-ar got to Jim another big bear
jumped on the scene.
“ ‘Go ’way! go ’way!’ Jim shouted. n't
knowing what he was at. he was so scared.
•Go’wav! One o’you can git away wish
me easy enough!’
“But the second bear just gave ore look
at Jim, and then threw itself against the
other bear like a locomotive. Jim said that
it threshed t’:at first bear around so that as
soon aa it could get a chance it went limp
ing and Heeding away es fast as its legs
could carry it. Then the second bear
turned toward Jim aud taking a few steps,
raised its right forepaw.
“ ‘Reggv Ann, by the great corkscrew!’
Sail 'd Jim, and the noxt second he and the
ear that had saved his life were hugging
one nnother, while Jim jumped for joy.
“Sure enough, the rescuing boar wat old
Pegg. - Ann and Jiin induced her tego nock
to the farm with him. She sesmed glad to
get back to the old place, ar.d when Sassy
Sam, as they called her son, cams in from
the hack orchard, where he had been turn
ing the cider mill, she rushei up to meet
him. Aud what do you suppose the un
grateful young rascal did? He looked con
temptuously at hm old mother for a mo
ment, and then struck her alongside the
hea l a blow that knocked her frustrate at
his feet. Then he marched on. not even
condescending to look around. Reggy Ann
got up, looked sorrowfully after Sassy Sam,
and then crept away to Old Blacky’s grave
iu the orchard. She lay down by the grave
of her foster mother, and they didn’t dis
turb her. Next morning she was thore yet,
and when Jim went out to fetch hor in to
give her some breakfast, she was dead.
“ ‘Her heart was jist broke!’ said Jim.
“The knocking down of his mother by
Sassy Bam seemed to put it into bis head
that he wa9 the boss of things on the farm,
and he went to running them, and so Jim
trick him in hand tho other day aud put a
ball through him.
“ ’I didn’t hardly suppose the news of it
had got noised around up here vet,’ the
stranger added, ‘hut it’s ail the talk down
my way.’
“ ‘And where is that, stranger, if I may
askr I.andlord Ross inquired.
'* ’Pike county, Pennsylvania,’replied the
Innocent-looking man, and he wont up to
bed, while the Fairchild house oircle went
into executive session and took it hot.

A Jeweler Commits Suicide and
Destroys Notes and Drafts.
fYom ihe New York Sun.
Thot, Jau. 5. Henry Dudley, a ooloreil
man employed on tho Tibbote farm at
Hooslck, discovered this morning the dead
body of a man about 100 feet from the
highway. The man was about 40 years old.
A revolver was held in the clinched hand,
and a wound in the head showed the cause
of death. On the body was found a large
amount of torn currency in bills of different
denominations. These represent ed rnoro than
SBOO. Thero were also four drafts which had
also been torn. One of these was for 415,-
UOU, issued to bearer bv the Security Trust
Company of Nashua, N. H., to the Commer
cial National Batik of Boston. Thero were
three other drafts, each for sl,ooot In a
vest pocket was a gold watch attached to a
gold chain. In one of the man’s pockets a
small card case was found, which contained
a card besring the name L. N. T. Paulin,
watchmaker and jeweler, 20 Factory
street, Nashua, N. H. There was nothing in
the sachel except o few cookies and a smail
looking glas3.
The Nashua authorities sent word to
night tbar the roan was Paulin of that
place, and that he had acted strangely for
some time.

LARGE PAINFUL ULCER
On Limb. Completely helpless. Enable to
Wslk Without Crutches. Flesh to
the Bone Dropped Out.
Suffered Greatly. Donors Foil to Relieve.
Speedily Cured by Cutleura
Remedies.
In the summer of 1888, a sore came on the
fleshy part of my right leg, uot far from the
shin bone, It continued to increase in size, ami
eventually formed a lares ulc tr three inches
long by two wide. I employed a regular physi
cian, but he gave me no relief. It was very
painful, and eventually part of the flesh to the
bone dropped out. After wintering with It for
six months I was induced to try the CrncrHA
Remedies. At this tlmo I was completely help
less. unable to walk without crutches, and
suffered greatly. In about a week tho sore be
eau to show signs of improvement, and event
ually was completely healed. Auotbar sore
thou broke out on my instep, but the vaiue
treatment soon cured that. I was Indebted
solely to tho Cuticuha Remedies for my resto
ration to health. My log is now as well as it
ever was, and since then 1 have not been
troubled with tores. D. F. MERRITT,
