Odd Experiences OF an American Who
Lost His Railway Ticket.

ODD Experiences OF an American Who
Lost His Railway Ticket.
An American gentleman recently had
an amusing experience on an English
railroad which demonstrates the Brit
on's fondness for red tape. He had
bought an excursion ticket to some
point few miles outside of London,
the fare being about three shillings for
both ways, and in getting on the train
coming back to town he found that his
return ticket was missing. When the
guard came around for his ticket he
told him that he had lost it. whereupon
the guard demanded fare from the sta
ton at which the train had been made
up. amounting to seven shillings and
sixpence. The passenger, of course,
protested against this and mentioned
the station at which he had boarded
the train. and the guard replied that
he had no assurance that the passen-
ger had gotten on at that point. Then
the passenger refused to pay at all and
stuck his card into the guards hand.
Two or three days subsequently the
passenger received letter from the
railroad company saying that a report
had been made to them OF the loss OF his
ticket, and hoping that the affair might
be amicably adjusted" To this COM
munication he paid no attention what
ever. Three or four days afterward he
received a formidable envelope, with
the name OF the railroad printed in full
in one corner, and the document with
in protested against the silence with
which the previous note had been
treated, and after going over the whole
details of the matter ended by declar-
ing that some settlement would have
to be arrived at. Then the passenger
sat down, very much amused over the
amount of stationary and postage the
railway was spending about a railway
ticket worth, perhaps, shilling, and
wrote out long and humorous account
of how he had determined on this
suburban excursion and exactly what
his movements were from the time he
took the cab to drive to the London
station on his outward journey until he
missed his ticket after he had started
to return home. This contribution was
received in all seriousness at the rail-
road office and in few days he had an
answer to it stating that they were
much obliged for the careful and ex-
plcit statement and that the railroad
company would not press for any
further payment. Obviously they have
time to do Things in England which
they have not time to do here. If this
story did not come from a thoroughly
responsible and reliable source enc
would be inclined to doubt its truth,
but without doubt it is a simple state
! meut of fact.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

originally the set consisted of nine
handsomely printed volumes, which
nave been extended by the insertion of
some 1900 portraits, engravings, auto
graphs and maps, making the present
elaborate and costly work. The illus
tra1ions were inserted in appropriate
places opposite the text, so that the
scenes Of the battles and persons fgur-
ing In them could be better represented
ana appreciated than by the type
alone. The set is not quite filled with
illustrations, however. and Mr.. Clark
is still diligently seeking after more

tributing to the cost Of the books. The
volumes are of the imperial folio size
so necessary for such an elaborate work.
The set is considered to be the finest,
most complete, and costly edition of

STURDY ECONOMY.
ThcSExampie Set to His 4Countrymen by
NJ BENJAMIN Franklin.

1Ho&EAhHpl0 See co His gCOuutrymen by
N Benjamin Franklin.
Time was when the life of DR.. Frank
lin was considered a stock book to pre-
sent to young men starting out in life,
whatever their business. But OF late
years suppose it has been considered
as rather behind the age. Indeed,
many not very familiar with the subject
are apt to think of him something in
the light of that public speaker, not
over friendly to Puritan traits, who
spoke OF him as "the incarnation of the
New England character-hard. calcu-
lating. angular, incapable of conceiv-
ing of any higher object than the ac-
emulation of money"
So often, impulsive, generous-hearted
youth is apt to look upon thrifty max
inns Of close economy and steady in
dustry as rather 'old fogy'' in their
days, as something narrowing and
hardening to nature.
1t is true that Franklin's teachings
in this line impressed themselves
deeply on the age in which he lived,
and they have come down to us in u
straight line these hundred years. and
become no unimportant part Of the
warp and wool of the nations history.
No doubt the 'pattern" would be
greatly married, if not the very fabric
itself, if his influence. direct or iu-
direct, could be wholly eliminated.
Yet his careful taking care of pence"
did not make him hard or unsympa-
thizing, or deaf to appeals on his gen.
erosity. Indeed, his very care of the
pence enabled him to dispense with a
generous hand to those who had a
claim apon him. 1t was not very mer-
cenary in him to buy house in Boston
figs poor old sister Jane, and send
IHeSery fall enough money to lay in a
plentiful store OF fuel and food. And
yet from the midst of the gay French
court he took time to write her such
funny, CHEEKY letters that she said the
pleasure they gave her "made even
his great presents but a secondary
JOY" His thrift and economy had not
soured his disposition; but, despite his
homemade blue stockings. his genial
spirit made for him a welcome in the
highest court circles. Indeed, his faith
fulness to friend often exceeded what
we should esteem a wise prudence,
giving even half of the years income
to help poor fellow who was his COM
panlon in London, whom he loved with
all his faults. 1t did not show very
mercenary spirit to give his three
years salary of six thousand pounds to
works for the public good; nor would
q very stingy man have taken the in
terest he did in his journeymen, many
OF whom he set up in business.

THE DIVORCE QUESTION.
How to Remove One of the Most Prolific
e3@ Causes of Marital Trouble.

eIa Causes of Marital Trouble.
Any one who has given the subject
any attention knows that the multi
tude of applications for divorce largely
grows out of the permission which the
statutes give divorced parties to marry
Immediately. In practice divorces are
unconditional and in the majority of
cases the application is made for the
purpose of marrying again.
The operation Of the system is IA
miliar enough. A man who has be-
come little tired of his wife meets
another woman. it may be a girl or
another married woman, whom he
likes better. He begins a Irritation
with her. He knows he can not obtain
her without divorce. They talk the
matter over together. The man COM
plains he has been mismarried. They
soon discover they are affinities and
there can be no happiness for them I'M
less they are married. The man begins
his work Systematically. He grows
cold and petulant towards his wife. He
gradually alienates her affection for
him. Quarrels ensue. He becomes
actually cruel and disgusts her with his
treatment. Finally he abandons her or
commits some offense which will war;
rant her in applying for divorce un-
der the statutes. Driven transportation
by his treatment, she at last applies
md np5ar ann Low lous {bo 5ooroo ic
at once given her. Then the released
husband, us soon as decency will per-
NIT and sometimes sooner, marries the
other woman. The reverse of the case
is equally true. A wife tires of her
husband, having found better-look-
ing or a richer or smarter man. She
has little difficulty in convincing him
they are afIinities. Then she COM
mences her systematic method of got
ting rid of her husband by tantalizing
or neglecting him, by extravaganza
habits OF life, and by a thousand and
one ways of forcing him to apply for a
divorce or of provoking retaliatory con-
duct on his part which will allow her
to apply, and she goes off and marries
the other. Sometimes both parties are
married persons, but the game is the
same. Every one knows the modus
operandi. 1t is going on all the time
in society.
If there were definite time fixed by
the statutes within which divorced per-
sons could marry again-say, three or,
better still, five years, it would I'M
doubtedly have the effect Of largely
preventing many of the divorce cases
which now crowd our court calendars.
If the party applying for divorce
were not allowed to marry again within
that period it is likely the first step
would not be taken. He or she would
not be so fond Of new afIinities and they
would not regard matrimony as mere
experiment to see whether they liked
it instead OF binding contract. The
law as it stands encourages free love.
1t says to the contracting parties: III
you think you can do better you are at
liberty to try, and to repeat it as often
as possible" which is the essence of
free love. The statute promotes in
compatibility and encourages divorce.
People would find the old husbands and
wives would do if the law itself did
not encourage them to get new Ones
