A MISER SEES SATAN.
THE DEVIL CAUGHT HIM STEALING
AN ACTORS FIREWOOD.

His Satanic Majesty Was Only Imper-
sonated, but the Hotel Keeper Thought
1t Was a Real vision-Milton Mobiles
Reforms n Penurious Landlord.
Milton Mobiles is brilliant converse
tionalist and good story teller. Among
the many anecdotes credited to him. the
following experience which he relates
will prove interesting reading:
In 1867. during my first year Of the
atrical life, was member of small
travelling BLACK Crook" company. I'M
der the management Of the late Tom
Davey We were playing small towns
in Wisconsin and Minnesota. One cold
January night found US in little town
in Wisconsin. where the theatre and no.
tel were under one roof, and owned and
run by one man.
The man has been in recent years well
known to professionals, and there are
many stories extant Of his peculiarities
He was very wealthy but a confirmed
miser A stranger entering his hotel
would invariably pick him out as the
porter, and indeed he performed the
most mental offices, even to backing the
boots of hb guests if asked to do so.
Yet he always kept a good hotel. On
''show" nights he cleaned out the dress
ing rooms and acted as janitor in gen
eral.
From the second story of this hotel
there was hallway leading to the stage.
The actors We're usually assigned to the
rooms along this hall, and would occa-
sionallv use their rooms as dressing rooms
at night, a proceeding to which the Old
man seriously objected. The old man
would watch the doors like cat, and rs
soon as a room was vacated he would
let himself in with a pass key, and II the
gas was left burning he would turn 1t
out. He would also gather every stlck
of wood from the rooms and redeposit
them in the big box at the top OF the
Office stairs.

DEAD ey rHe TRACK.
while His Loving Mother Waited and
watched In Vain for Him.


while His Lavinc Mother Waited and
Watched In Vain for Him.
"The Western and Atlantic train left
the track last night at McIvor's, and
Richard McClain, fireman, was killed.
That was the message, almost brutal
in it's brevity, that was flashed over the
wires frem Atlanta to Brunswick. He
was only a fireman, of small conse-
quence to this matter of fact world, with
its rush and hustle, and so three line
paragraph in the morning papers was
his obituary.
But back of this bare notice of Nc
Claims death is one of the IN ost pathetic
stories in the history of railroad acci-
dents in Georgia. The dead man had a
mother and family who lived in the val
ley Of the famous Chickamauga, and
about them centers the pathos of the
story. But let Engineer Adamson, who
stood weeping over the body Of his
friend, tell it:
HE was q good boy he said; zone of
the best hearted men in the world. And
he loved his family so! Every night
when he would run by his home his
mother would put out light to let him
know that all was well, and he would
answer with light. Last night she
may have watched all night, for he
didn't pass, and no doubt she was trou-
bled with the thought that something
was wrong"
And something was wrong.
While the faithful mother, with her
lamp Of love a-fame, was straining her
eyes through the darknessof the night to
catch gleam of the flashing headlight
that announced '.ail'sweii with her son,
that son was stark in death.
The eyes that had watched for the
light in the window that told of the
safety of mother and kindred wereglazed
by death. No more would they strain
through the dusk OF the valley for the
red ray which conveyed to him a mes
sage Of love from home.
Richard was dead by the track!
The loving mother, what of her?
Through the dark watches she waited
ut the window, in her hand the beacon
that assured Richard of the we'll being
Of the jewels of his heart.
But the rush and roar of the engine,
and the flashing of the headlight through
the swart reaches of the valley never
came
The minutes ticked slowly by.
Richard is late tonight" thought
the loving woman, "but I'll wait while
longer It is almost like q visit from
him to catch a glipse Of the headlight"
So she waited till her eyes grew heavy
with sleep.
And Richard was dead by the track!
Finally she said:
''Tll leave the lamp in the window
and lie down while. / can hear the
roar of the engine in time to wave the
light"
Slumber came unconsciously to the
loving but tired eyes. When she awoke
the sun was shooting his silver arrows
through the chinks of the room The
faithful heart turned toward the win
dow. The lamp was extinguished. The
mother sat up with great eyes staring
at the darkened lamp A shadow Of
woe came darkling over her, chilling
the warm love currents of her heart.
For-Richard was dead by the track!
Light and love had died together
