Could Read the stories.

President Eliot, of Harvard, was ona
of the pioneer tourists to the Maine coast,
and spent many seasons cruising around
Frenchman's bay in his yacht, before
Bar Harbor obtained its world wide celeb
rity. One year, says The Mt. Desert
Herald, he had skipper from Waukeag
Point, now known as Sorrento, to sail
his yacht. In the fall the professor gave
him, as a token of gratitude for favors
received, a Webster's Unabridged Die
tionary, which, as the man could neither
read nor write, was as useful to him as
a side pocket would be 70 toad. The
skipper received it with all due gratitude,
and left it for safe keeping with the vii
Iage doctor. Several years passed by,
when one day the shippers wife came to
the doctor and said: 81 guess III carry
that ere book home now, for Sammy's

''THE st. Louis Republic'' tells this
story of the Shah and Mr.. Winston,
who briefly represented America in
Persia not long ago. When Mr.. Win
ston got to Teheran, the chamberlain
presented to him four elephants in the
name of the Shah. Mr.. Winston, who
had never seen an elephant outside of
a menagerie, was paralyzed at his sit
uation, but managed to express his
thanks for the Shah's kindness. after
he had been presented and had as
sumed the duties of his Office, his
greatest official burden was the care of
his elephants. Relief came on the
second day when the intimation was
politely conveyed that the Shah ex-
pected a present from him. Certain
ly," said Mr.. Winston as a smile
wreathed his face, 81 have only been
waiting to secure one worry of so great
a ruler" That afternoon he proceeded
in state to the palace and presented
the Shah five elephants. The cham.
berlain seemed to regard the animals
with suspicion, but oriental politeness
prevents the inspection of gift horse
in the mouth; and anyhow the extra ell
ephant removed all doubt. "That ex
ira elephant cost me $780, said MIR
Winston, in telling the story after
ward, 'sbut l considered myself getting
out of bad scrape cheap at that.

During the month OF December the
Senatorial Express one OF the B. a. o.
three hour trains between Washington
and PhilsdeIphia, conformed TO her
schedule 80 per cent of the time and
only once during the 81 days was she as
much as half hour late. The "Flying
Yankee" companion train to the "6en.
atorial ExproHs," was on the dot rs per
cent Of the time. The inaccuracies neatly
all occurred during the first week after
the three hour trains were placid in Her-
vice and since that date the schedule has
been made more than 80 per cent OF the
time. When it is remembered that these
are the fastest passenger trains in
America, excepting the B. & D. trains be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, the
merit OF this performances is more marked
and confirms the confidence OF the d. 81
O. management in the superiority Of their
philadelphia line, A three hour schedule
between philadelphia and Washington is
no longer an experiment and the public
can depend upon always having service
OF shree hours or less between these two
cities, via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.

he had long dealt with tho William Lea q
Sons Company, to whom he referred the
clerk for Recommendations. The company
was telephoned and replied that Mr. Barton

then bought Sl25 worth OF ladies' shoes,
which he ordered sent to Newark. Out OF

The goods wore shipped the same night
but becoming suspicious that all did not
seem right Mf. Walls went to Newark yes
tefday morning and ascerta!ned that the

The goods were found at the freight station
