CAN'T TAKE a JOKE.
Quay's Son Thinks He Was Insuited by a
Washington Postoflice Clerk

WASHINGTON, November Post
master-General Wanamakcr has di-
rected Postmaster Sherwood, of the
Washington postoflice, to suspend Mrs.
Margaret 5. Watkins, a clerk at the
general delivery window, for using often
siye language towards Richard Quay,
the son of Senator Quay, of PennSylva-
mia. The circulated account of the
affair has it that young Quay asked for
his fathers mail at the delivery WIN
dow, and some one standing near re-
marked: Hes dead. 1t goes to the dead
letter Office now," and Mrs. Watkins,
who was on duty at the window, thought
leSsly repeated the remark. Mr.. Quay,
1t is said, seemed to regard the matter
as joke at the time, and walked away
smiling.
Postmastcr-General Wanamaker says
that Mr.. Quay told him that some one
of the clerks at the delivery window
said that his father was dead and that
his mail went to the dead letter Office.
He Immediately ordered the suspension
Of the clerk until an investigation could
be made. Superintendent Bell, Of the
city delivery, admits that he made the
remarks which Mrs. Watkins repeated.
Written statements with reference to
the alleged offense from Mr.. Bell, Su-
perintcndent of Delivery at the City
Postoilice, and from Mr. Watkins, de-
livery clerk, were submitted to Post
master General Wanamaker by Post
master Sherwood to-day.
Mrs. Watkins statement agrees with
Mr.. Bells as to the circumstances, that
when Mr.. Richard Quay called for his
fathers mail, she asked in the Office
where Mr.. Quay's mail was. Some one
who had been reading the election news
replied, "In the dead letter office. .
She repeated the words seriously to
the gentleman at the window, but did
not intend any discourtesy whatever.
Further investigation to ascertain the
name OF the clerk who made the re-
mark will be made. Nlr. Bell said the
alleged offensive remark was merely a
pleasantly. not intended to reach the
ears of anybody outside OF the Office.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
OF Passengers from Instant Death-A
Sleeper Crushed to Pieces.

CINCINNATI, O.. November "A mi
raculous escape from death by the occu
pants of the Jacksonville, Florida, sleep
ing car on the Cincinnati Southern road
happened at Junction City, Ky, at $3.50
o'clock this morning. The Louisville
Il Nashville railroad crosses the South
ern at this point, and when train No.
of the Southern road reached the sta
tion on schedule time and stopped at
the usual place the middle sleeper OF the
three was directly across the track of
the Louisville Il Nashville. On the lat
ter road heavy freight was coming
from the west. 1t should have stopped
two hundred feet from the crossing un:
til the track was clear, but for some rea-
son the freight train did not stop. 1t
is said the brakes would not work and
Uiiau TIC sIdue was steep. AT any rate
the train came rushing on and struck
the sleeper in the center,
the engine ploughing through
and breaking the car TO pieces, throw
ing the occupants right and left on
either side Of the track. The engine
left the track and crashed into the bag
gage room of the Louisville and Nash
willie. Fortunately the wrecked car did
not take fire and no one was killed out
right.
The injured are:

hang the little stockings here tonight"
With two such pleading eyes shining
at her over an armful of packages, Miss
Priscilla felt she could hardly refuse.
Him, yes. don't know that it would

But it's such a pleasure to watch them

tie elephant in Marjory's. Then here
is a toy watch for each of them and q
stick of candy, popcorn ball and big
orange to cap the climax. Why, it just
reaches the top! How fortunate there
isn't any thing more!' laughed Mrs.
Clark.
But, somehow, Miss Priscilla's spec
tacles grew quite misty, and she took
them off and wiped them once or twice.
The little packages were so very small
and the little mothers way of laugh
ing at her poverty was so brave and

hope Marjory won't disturb you. Good

"Good-night," answered Miss Priscil-
la, and then she went back to the fire
and stared hard at the little crimson
stockings, glowing in the freight.
"I'll do it-so!' she said at last, de-
cidedly. Softly leaving the room she
called down the speaking-tube for the
chamber maid. Good natured Katie
readily promised to mind the child a
Bit" and, while giving numerous eau
tions, Miss Priscilla arrayed herself in
bonnet and cloak and started out into
the night.
The stores were dazzling with gas
light and the air was sweet with the
odor of pine branches, but the gay fes-
toons of bunting were not in half so
happy flutter as Miss Priscilla's fool
ish old heart. How hard it was to de-
eide between blue eyes and brown,
wax and bisque, and blue or gold tea
sets! And should she get nuts and raj
sins, or candy, or purple and white
grapes? Miss Priscilla couldn't tell, SO
she ended by getting them all and
trotting home as fast as possible, with
her arms full of delightful looking
bundles.
"Arrah!" cried Katie, when she
reached the kitchen, "Whatever has

In Kris Krinele's Land.

The German Christmas has supplied
us with two of our best-known Christ
mas customs-hanging up stockings and
attaching gifts to sprigs of pine, called
Christmas trees.
From the German Christmas also
come Santa Claus and Kris Kringle.
The latter is corruption of Christ
Kindlin, or Christ Child, of whom they
have the beautiful fable that with His
own hands He places Christmas toys
and sweetmeats in the stockings Of good
children, while those of bad ones re-
ceiye nothing but small birch rod,
placed in them by one Pelsnichol-lit-
orally nicholas with the fur" that is

1t is rare sight in a German house.
hold on Christmas morning to see the
expression of abject misery on the face
of some poor little wight, who, having
been disobedient or otherwise naughty
ON Christmas eve, finds only birch rod
in his stocking, instead of bonbons and
play things. The dread of getting the
rod from old Pelsnichol on Christmas
keeps many a German child in order all
the year.

During the Holidays.

The best part of the holiday season,
perhaps, is the opportunity it gives for
homo gatherings and the family re-
unions that IN these busy days are all
too few. Many young man finds time
to get back to the old hearthstone and
sit down in the dear home circle who, if
the holidays were omitted, would be
kept strictly at his tasks. All the
schools are dismissed, boys and girls are
at home, teachers likewise are off duty,
and, with no care pressing, in thousands
of places parents and children have
happy times together for which they
may thank the festive season. There
are other unions and reunions, all of
them pleasant and helpful, but there is
hardly any such joy to youth in this
world as that of getting back to the fire
side where he was reared. There is a
rest there for him, a perfection of peace
such as that, no matter how prosperous
he may be in his pursuits, never come
to him any place else. And greatly to
be pitied is he for whom no door of the
early home is open, or against whom it
is blown shut by the pitiless storms that
have beset him.-United Presbyterian.
