Her Memory,

Memory, the warder of the brain, !"
says Shakespeare; but with many it
would seem that the full meaning of
the aphorism is sadly lost. Most every
one has some sort of a memory, good,
bad, or Indifferent, as the case may be;
but one person out of fifty has some
process or other intended to aid his
memory, hoping in time to be able to
retain in mind all matters worthy of
retention.
This recalls to writer in the Kan
sas City Times a story told of a young
lady friend, who has lately taken on
the fad of memory brushing" She
confded in gentleman acquaintance
that she was poor at dates, a sad fail
ure on place and weak on events
''How may l learn to retain things in
in my mind as they should be?" she
exclaimed, as if in disgust at her in
tellectual shortcomings. "Oh, that is
easy" replied he. ''as all you have to
do in each case is to form some little
couplet with anything you wish to re-
member and you will never forget it.
Explain" she said. For instance, "
the gentleman replied,
''In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
The young lady was in high state
of glee at such practical and really
beautiful manner of aiding memory
and her thanks were profnse. Time
went by-two days, believe-when
the two met again. How are you get
ting on with the coupletsP" asked he.
"Capitally," she exclaimed. "a
pound of candy goes that you don't
remember what told you, verba tim, u
he banteringly said, and she took the
bet on the spot. Then she ratified off
the words:

Railroad Presidents on Common
Ground.

A good story is told of the president
of a certain railroad in Illinois and
how he obtained a pass over the Great
Northern railway from President Hill.
The gentleman in question walked
brusquely into Mr.. Hills private office
not long since and said he would like
to see President Hill. Mr.. Hill in
formed the caller that he was talking
with the parsonage he was seeking,
whereupon the stranger as ked in blunt
tones for an annual pass.
Il have sent you pass, and think
l ought to have one," he said.
Mr.. Hill questioned the fellow rail-
road president about his road and
found that it was only thirteen miles
long. The man who controls one of
the largest railroad systems in the
country hardly thought that pass
was due to the president of a thirteen
mile road.
Your road" he replied, ''seems to
be rather short. And we have so
many calls for passes from officials of
small roads that don't see how we
can grant them"
We'll" exclaimed the visitor, ''my
road may not be quite as long as
yours. Mr.. Hill, but, by gosh, it is
just as wide"
The argument was unanswerable,
and the man who is president of a
road as wide as the Great Northern
got the pass he wanted.-St. Paul

Very Like a Conspiracy

A correspondent relates in a New
York paper that before Mary Hartwell
Catherwood, the Illinois authoress,
entered upon the writing of her Story
of Tonty" she concluded to visit
Starved Rock and ''stand where he
had stood" to view the landscape DER,
and perchance gain facts and inspira-
tion. She went to Ottawa. stopped at
the Clifton, sent for the proprietor Gone
Billy Taylor) and said she wanted a
man who knew the whole country to
drive her to Starved Rock.
"All right" said Billy, Il know the
very man. He's green, bashful and
if you once interest him he'll talk like
a book"
'rll interest him." cried Mrs. c..
joyfully, What's his hobbyP"
Science, replied Billy at random,
and went off to engage man he had
a grudge against-one who, added to
his natural bashfulness and stupidity,
had an absolute horror of women.
Billy assured him the passenger was
an exceedingly quiet woman, an
authoress, and would pay well. So off
they started.
Poor Mrs. CatherWood! Foreighteen
miles down and ditto back did she talk
motors, monographs, etc, and never
one word did that driver reply but
"Umph! Umph!'
When utterly weary. disgusted and
exceedingly angry she had paid her
bill and departed, Billy sought the
driver with, We'll. Mike, how did you
get along to-day?" Mike fairly shout
ed: "Quiet woman! Authoress! Billy.

CARELESSNESS IS A CRIME.
Many Accidents Might Be Prevented IL
This Law Were Adopted Here.

1t was, | think, in 1885 that the first
railroad was being laid from Havana
to Batabona, town on the south side
of the island of Cuba, under the super
intendence of a New York civil engi-
neer, Alfred Cruger, writes a contri-
butor to the Detroit Free Press. In
one of its early trips the engine ran off
the track. The engineer was forthwith
arrested and ordered to appear before
General Tacon, the captain general of
Cuba, the following day.
Tacon held court every day at noon,
when all cases of malfeasance occur
ring during the preceding twenty-four
hours had hearing before him. He
was Judge and jury, and there were no
lawyers to browbeat witnesses or dis
tort the facts. On the occasion l
speak of there were present at the
hearing several American gentlemen,
who had been passengers on the train
and who appeared as witnesses, think,
at the request of the engineer. 1t was
through one of them that l learned of
the proceedings.
The accused. on being called up,
was asked by the general TO make his
defense. He stated that the train was
in deep cut rounding curve, that
therefore he could see but short dist
ance ahead, and suddenly ran upon a
bull which threw the engine off the
| track.
'And," said the general, "yodr being
in this deep cut and curve and conse-
| quently unable to see far in advance
should have made you careful not to
go fast enough to run the risk of en-
countering any obstacle before you
could stop the train"
But general" said one of the
American gentlemen, "there was no
body hurt
''Ahw answered the general, ''tha
was through the merciful interpositior
of providence. This man can claim NJ
credit for that"
Then turning to the engineer: "Yol
90 to Fort Cabanas to break rock fol
six months"
During several subsequent years tina
/ resided in Havana l did not hear o
any further accident on Cuban rail
road. Perhaps, if little of the spiri
of Tacon could be infused into thos
who control our railroads, as well a
into our judges, we should not be dali
hearing of the unavoidable" acci
dents and their accompanying horror
with which our papers now TEEN.

1t Was Too Fine.

A young colored boy, about 16 years
of age, drove up to the depot in one
mule cart, accompanied by an old man
whom l took to be his father. Some
thing was said between them which I
did not catch, and the boy turned and
swore at the old man and called him
names. As he came up to me 1 said:
Boy, I'm sorry to see you lacking
in tilial hespect."

The Horses Face.

A Roman nose in a horse, like the
corresponding aquiline shape in man,
generally indicates strong individual
ity, often accompanied with great in
telligence, says the Rider and Driver.
A straight facial line is quite as often
found with high degree of intelli-
gence, but dish-faced horse is rarely
anything but nonentity in character
or fool. l have seen few exceptions
to this rule, but they only prove it.
A fine muzzle usually denotes high
nervous organization, while coarse
and large muzzle with small and non
expansive nostrils and pendulous lower
lip means stupidity.
A sensitive and trumpet-shape nos
tril means courage and intelligence,
even when, as it does sometimes, ii
also means heaveS.

HUMBl A FATHER.
An Instructive Tale of an Old Merchant'
u Happy Parent and Bad Boy

As soon as father and son sat down
it was evident there was going to be
trouble. The youngster Immediately
examined minutely everything on the
table within reach. He took the stop
per out of the oil bottle and asked his
father to smell it.
"Funny vinegar, amt it?" he ex-
claimed.
You mustn't do that" said the ia
ther timidly. You are a bad boy and
l shan't take you out again"
When the waiter brought bread and
napkin the father gently tucked the
latter under the sons chin. Then the
elder gave his order. He asked the
youngster what he would have, and
for the answer he blurted out:
lice cream"
There was no mistaking his order,
for he gave it in such a loud, shrill
voice that everybody in the room look
ed around.
The waiter departed. and paterfa-
milias again demonstrated with the
dear little fellow in the conventional
manner and again informed him that
he was bad boy, glancing at an old
merchant sitting near as if expecting
an approved smile.
But the merchant didn't smile. He
tried to eat his dinner and read his
paper. In the meantime the good lit
tie boy had his napkin out two or three
times and was trying to kill flies with
it. The dinner came. while papa from
time to time repeated the assertion,
which he felt sure was untrue, that his
offspring was bad boy.
They got through. and the little one
was using his napkin for handker-
chief and mopping his brow with it.
The stout business man was slipping
his coffee and putting on his cigar.
The merchant had been looking in the
direction of the child, who at that mo-
ment had left his chair and was in
dustriously trying to climb up his IA
theirs back.
"How old is your son?" inquired the
merchant of the proud father.
You could see the father was proud.
His face was a bundle of smiles-ii
any one ever saw such parcel.
Tell the gentleman how old you
are, Alfred" he ordered the boy.
mo, I won't"
"Come, now! won't take you out
again!" Shakes him little and tries
to look severe. He's nearly six.
Il shonld like to adopt him." the
merchant continued.
Hear that, Alfredo" remarked Al.
fred's pa to the youth. This gentle.
man wants to adopt you. Will you &c
to himP"
Nav. He's got whiskers." Thii
was spoken very violently.
Paterfamilias looked tired, and hi
cheeks burned after this unexpected
outburst. He tried to shake Alfrec
again. but the boy evaded him.
''What makes you fancy him?" in
quired the proud father.
Fancy him?" echoed the business
man. Il did not say that"
'But you wanted to adopt him."
''Yes-to give me authority to spanl
himr'
The symposium dispersed, paterfa
milias scowled at the merchant, grasp
ed Alfred by the hand and made
hasty exit. The walters smiled, tn
guests laughed aud the merchant con
tinued smoking his after-dinher cigar

Might Be OF Service in One Way.

Put that man on the stand!' ex-
claimed the shyster lawyer, hotly.
mo, sir! l won't consent to it! Why
it would ruin our case!n
''But you don't understand" be-
gan his colleague.
Il understand that no man would
believe him under oath. His reputa-
ton is something awful"
But. my dear sir--n
Don't speak of it again! No one
in the city would believe his evidence
in transaction involving five cents"
Now wait a minute!'
But you know yourself that every
one knows what an internal liar and
scoundrel he is. I'd rather have him
swear against us than for u.s.
Let me explain"
"Well what is it?n
Il wouldn't put him on the stand to
swear to any of the details of the
transaction, of course, because no one
would believe him. But l thought we
might use him to smirch the character
of woman-a witness for the other
side, you know"
20. well, he may be of some use in
that way. No harm done if we try it,
anyway. p Chicago Tribune.

Electric Lights at Sea.

An extraordinary result has been
obtained by some experiments made
in England in signaling with electric
lights turned vertically to the sky.
The light of the Eddystone lighthouse
can be seen only seventeen and half
miles, and then on clear night: but a
vertical beam of light of far less power
is visible just twice as far, with a
strong chance of its surmounting an
ordinary fog.

Testing the Engineers Eyesight.

The official of a leading English
railway company, according to an
Englishman recently in this country,
tells good story about one of the en-
gine drivers of his line, says the
Toronto MaH The engine-driver was
growing old and frequent reports were
made to the directors that his eye-sight
was not as good as it should be. This
the old man stoutly denied. but, never
theless, there is every reason to be-
lieVe that his eyes are getting a trihe
dim. However, he stoutly maintained
that his eyes were not only strong, but
phenomenally strong, and that these
criticisms were make by Jealous fellow
engine-drivers.
The test for eyesight on that line
was made by doctor who lived i'll
| house facing a large common. When
he wished TO test the mans eyes he
used to say: Look over there and
see what you can see." This fact had
got known to the employees of the rail
way, and when the old engine-driver
was going TO be examined he arranged
with his son that he should take his
bicycle about half a mile across the
| common and stoop down and oil it.
In due time the old engine-driver was
led to the window, and the doctor
said. as usual, What can you see?'
The old man peered out and said:
''Well, [ see a young man STOPPING
down beside bicycle" DO you?' re-
pied the doctor; Il can not see any
thing at ALL" "Gammonm said the
ngine-driver; ''can't you see itP Why
he is oiling it." On this the doctor
took up pair of tield-glasses on the
table. and, looking out behind, quite
plainly saw a young man STOPPING
down oiling his bicycle. Magnificent
sightv' he said; 'magniicentr' And
to this day the engine-driver is taking
his 40 shilling week with striking
repularity
