The General Manager and the
Wheel-Tapper.

II can tell you little story about
the late S. S. Merrill" said Chicago,
Milwaukee q st. Paul official to the
Train Talker; Merrill, you know, was
our General Manager, and as good a
railway man as ever lived. 1t was
his habit to watch everything and
everybody. Ii a section man did not
tamp a tie into place in just the right
way Merrill corrected him. If he saw
a coupling pin lying by the side OF the
track he made q row about it fer
somebody. One day he stood on the
station platform at Milwaukee watch
ing the wheel-tapper trying the wheels
under the coaches. The Taper was
an old Irishman, and Merrill said to
him:
"'Why don't you hit harder? You
can't tell with such tap as that
whether the wheel is cracked or not
"The old man looked up and repli-
ed:
".What the hot place isItyour busi-
ness, I'd like to know
Merrill smiled and walked away.
He was too generous q man to take
offense at a little thing like that. But
another employe who had overheard
the conversation asked Pat if heknew
who the man was he'd been talking to.
OF course Pat didn't know, 'an' he
didn't want to know, either, be
jabers.'

Manager, said the employe.

Beecher's Ocean Voyage.

"This sea-sickness is a curious thing. ~
said Mr.. Beecher, as he basked in a
more than usually choice bit of sun
light on the upper deck of the Etruria.

England IN the good ship Asia, in so
we had pretty lively passage, and I

the sailors overhead singing in chorus
as they tugged at the ropes:

probably five years after that

saw that the crew of vessel Just be-

were singing as they worked:

Ihad the steward'sroom. The pantry

Two Months.

"I was once," said the judge, Sin the
waiting-room of great physician with
other patients, waiting my turn. One
of them, stout, genial, middle-aged
man, began to talk to me. 1T is ridic-
ulous my coming here he said. A
mere trifle, which will wear off OF itself.
But my wife would have me come
you know how women are. 1t is moth
ing but peculiar feeling at the tip of
my tongue-a kind of numbness.'
"At that moment he was summon
moned to the physicians Office. The
conference was along one. Atlast the
door opened. The men came out. He
was pale. His large face was covered
with drops of sweat, as if he had re-
ceived mortal blow. He stopped
and turned to the physician, saying
hoarsely,-
"Doctor, you're sure? There is moth
ing to be done-no operation-no"----

II heard afterwards that he died
within the appointed time. But / have
often thought of the mad haste with
which he would work in those two
months, to finish all that he had to do

best side OF his nature, to speak kind

prove to wife and children how he
loved them, and to come nearer to his

Mr.. GIadstone,s Natal Place.

The author OF s9The More Famous
Birth-places of Gladstone" writes to
the ST. James Gazette: AS you are
good enough to find space for some re-
marks from me on my difficulties in
getting this little book out, will you
allow me to say that have given up
the project. Yesterday Iopened the
Times with fear and trembling, and
alas! with tiis ssualre Mr.. Glad
stone has written to Sir Robert Peel
saying that Iverness is his natal place.
At slxpence it is impossible to get in
so many, and my publishers havesent
back the sketches Ihope the public
will see that it. not who have broken
faith with them. may add, for the
benefit of interested persons, that pho
tographs Of alarge number of the Glad
stone birthplaces are on sale mounted
or unmounted) in the shops OF the
Edinburgh stationers. 1t is fortunate
for this correspondent that he has
given up his idea, says the Gazette.
1t would be impossible to keep the
volume up TO date. Llverpool is the
latest place where Mr.. Gladstone was
born. He informed his audience that
it was at Liverpool that he first drew
breath re years ago, and ne further
grati6ed them with the intelligence
that he has been drawingit ever since.
He also told them that he was q very
old man, and did not expect to live
much longer, which things he affirmed
in order to show that he was 'con-
scious Of the solemnity" of the dis
pute about the separation bilE This
may be true; but, after all, Mr., Glad
stones statement that he was born In
Liverpool w&s no more than was ex-
pected of him. He would not refuse
to Liverpool en- honor which is grant
ed to so many towns in Scotland.
They are quite hopeful in Chesternow.
nd are confident that Mr.. Gladstone
will DO born there too.

A Tramp Baffled by q Dog.

From the New York Journal
A tall and ragged tramp called at
the residence of Wesley Gould, at
Plumsock, N. j., and knocked for ad-
mittance. Mrs. Gould, who is brave
and strong woman, was alone in the
house. But she opened the door and
he stepped inside and demanded food.
She struck him blow which laid him
on the stoop. She shut the door, and
then he kicked in one of the panels.
Mrs. Gould seized a kettle ofhot water
and scalded the fellow so that he ran
away bowling, cursing and threatening
vengeance.
He shambled through the village to
the house of Whalen Green, who was
at work in the field. Mrs. Green, who
is delicate woman, was frightened
when the tramp walked into the house.
He locked the door. She told him to
open it. He walked toward her and
made an insulting remark. She
screamed for help and the tramp
laughed. He seized her by the throat
and flung her on the floor. Her head
was injured by striking an iron weight.
Just as the tramp had choked her
almost senseless her large bulldog
sprang through an open window and
seized him by the calf of one leg. He
knocked the dog away. Mrs. Green
tainted just as the faithful dog got 3
throat hold on the tramp.
When Mr.. Green came to the house
he saw the furniture broken, the dog
dead, and Mrs. Green insensible. Mr..
Green seized his gun, called his neigh
bors, and they followed bloody trail
two miles to lake Hoshipcong. Farm
ers said they had seen a tramp pass,
lacerated and bleeding; his clothing
was in shreds, and there was bloody
handkerchief about his throat. His
trail was lost at the lake.
The faithful dog will be buried near
the house and hisgrave will be marked.

AMID THE WHEAT,

Out among the wheat fields rearing,
Day just Ger the hill top peeping,
A joyous thrill
With mystic skill
Sets my pulses leaping.
The robins sing amid the trees,
Ecent-laden comes the western breeze;
Each foam. piled cloud appears to me
A bright celestial argosy.
With faded face fair Luna stands,
Back gazing to the sun kissed lands;
Averse to leave the entrancing view,
She slowly treads her path Of blue.
The clouds above, as the hills below,
Are splendor-stained from the morn
ing's glow;
The mists that hide the tinkling stream,
Are tinged with gold from the sunlight's
gleam.
Far to the heavenly ocean beach
Shadow-fecked, the meadows reach;
The opal dome, the grassy maze,
Are mingled there in blushing haze.
WIN laggaru pace wagon Train
Is winding through the ripping grain,
Like tiny schooners, eastward drawn,
To meet the smiling, flushing dawn.
The corn-leaves-futtering, tinted
blades
Like white caps crown the sloping gladeS;
The lustrous, swelling foothills make
The billows OF an emerald lake.
Bright pearls OF dew in sparkles shine
From every leaf OF tree and vine;
Above, the sky; below, thelea-
Each seems the face Of q mighty sea.
Thus, amid the fields OF wheat,
The summer days new birth greet;
1t could not be
More fair to me,
Nor could my heart more lightly beat.
