A good many business men of this
city have two. three and some four
different offices. Sometimes these
are four or five miles apart. There
are well known lawyers here who
have two offices and handle a wholly
different class of business At each.
Interested in big corporations, a live
business man often necessarily has
office hours at the corporation offices
of the respective concerns. This not
only enables him to discharge his
mind of all other branches of his
business while attending to one. but
it enables those who have business
with him to transact it without in
terfering with those who are bent on
something else
The mental strain thus put upon
an active business man soon sends

Above Passalc river. deep and blue.

Was heard the whistle Of the coming train.
At once brave Drecker worked To swing h.

The gatelike bridge that seems a gate Of

Nearer and nearer on the slender track.
Came the swift engine, putting It's white
breath.
Then, with shrek, the loving father saw
Ills darling boy fall headlong from the draw.
Either al once down IN the stream to spring
Ana save bis son, and let the living freight
Rush on TO death, or to bis work to cling
ana leave his boy unhelped to meet his fate,
Which should he do? Were you, as he Waa
tried,
Would not your love outweigh all else besidea
And yet the child TO him was full as dear
as yours may be to you-the light of eyes.
A presence like brighter atmosphere.
The household star that shone In loves mild

And yet the man was poor. and 10 his breast
Flowed 20 ancestral blood OF king or lord:
True greatness needs no title and no crest
To win from men just honor and reward:
Nobility Is not Of rank. but mind;
And Is Unborn and common in our kind
He Is most noble whose humanity

The brthright Of the lowest born may be;
Say what we can, we are one brotherhood.

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

A factory at Lynn has asked for space
at the Worlds Fair to show pneumatic
dynamite guns and projectles.
Colonel Elliott F. Shepherd OF New
York has purchased 10, 900 of the Worlds
Fair souvenir coins, paying $4,000 foi
them.
New York will exhibit at the Worlds
Fair sections of all the trees which are
indigenous to the State. OF these there
are forty three species and eighty five
varieties, number which is not ex-
celled, it is claimed, by any State in the
Union.
has been decided to make a Tacoma
exhibition at the Worlds Fair to con
sist principally OF drawing and the con-
ventIonaizing of forms and clay model
ing. The High school will contribute
most OF the drawings and lower grades
models in clay. Complete plans for the
exhibition will be arranged.
The programme of the dedicatorv Ger.
emonies of the Worlds Fair has been
completed as follows: October 80, re-
ception to the President OF the United
States, Cabinet and other guests at the
Auditorium; Goth, grand Procession OF

this will be speeches, military maneu-

A Madrid dispatch says: The caravels
Nina and Pinta, which have been build
ing some time at Barcelona for the Co
lumbus celebration, have been launched,
and will be completed shortly, as only
the masts and few of the fittings are
now lacking. The Nina ia 81 feet long
over deck; the Pinta ia 70 feet long over
deck and 25 feet wide.
One of the best suggestions vet made
for designs for the Worlds Fair souvenir
coins is that OF Ferd Peek of Milwaukee
Wis, that one side of the coin should
represent North and South America,
with ship between them heading to,
ward the shore. This would mean some
thing, and it is of very little matter
whether 1t is beautiful or not, although
certain designers seem to consider the
latter qualification sine qua non. A
coin is never thing of beauty, although
It may bea joy forever, and in the case OF
the souvenir coins the designs should al
least hint at the mau and the deed they
are intended to commemorate,

.Ierked Reef

A remarkable instance of the ten.
dency to change and even mutilate a
word in order to give it familiar
and suggestive appearance is found in
the expression ''jerked beef" which
is a ready English substitute for
"charqui," the Peruvian word for
meat cooked in smoke, or ''jerked.
Such liberty taken with foreign
word may readily be pardoned when
SO happy in result, but the necessity
for changing "lustrine," a French
word for silk, into ''lutestring" may
be questioned, seeing we have many
words, such as "luster' and "lus4
trous," from the same root. But
there is no accounting for fancies. :.

The Expense Of Sending Message Under
the Ocean.
A glance through the code of instruc-
tions issued by one of the big cable COM
panies shows that there are a number
of places which rarely appear upon the
map that may be reached by wire from
this town, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser. For s2.25 per word one
may communicate with the hectic town
Of Pram Pram, upon the west coast of
Africa, while connection can be estab-
lished with the lively hamlet of Grand
Bassam, in the same region, at $1.O4
for every ten letters.
For SILT per word you may ad-
dress your long-lost relatives or
business partners in Djedda, Mecca
and all Hedjaz while the rate
to Bunder Abbas, Bassidore and Liugah h
is sixty-four cents in addition to the
boat hire from Jasl, Persia, where the
message is delivered.
Every word sent to New Zealand, via
northern Siberia, costs the sender Just
S3.74, which is the highest rate on the
list.
1t costs sixty cents word to reach
Remanganaguas and Aquada de Pasa-
geros down to Cuba, and S1.sS to let the
old folks in Sungie Ujong, on the Malay
peninsula, know you're living.

AN EXCITING TRIP.
Long Ride on tho Platform OF an Empfra
State Express Coach.

Long Ride on tho Platform OF an Empfra
State Express Coach.
The speed OF the empire state express
is responsible for many incidents which:
would probably not come to light in the
case OF other trains, says the Rochester
Post-Express. The latest is the excit-
ing ride of a commercial traveller from
this city to Buffalo. 1t is related that
the gentleman in question arrived at
the station just in time to purchase a
ticket and rush to the trainroom door
to see the heavy train pulling out. He
ran across the tracks and succeeded in
catching the rear platform of the last
coach. He expected, of course, to Sc
cure an entrance to the coach, but he.
was disappointed. The vestibuled plat
form was secure against his efforts to.
get in, and, as it was the last coach and
there was no occasion for the conductor
or other person to enter that vestibule,
his presence was not discovered. The
noise of the train prevented him from
making himself heard. The speed was
too great to permit him to get off, and
he soon realized that he was in much
the same predicament as the careless
spectator who allows his feet to be-
come entangled in the ropes at a ball
loon ascension. The train does not
stop at Batavia, and the commercial
traveller was obliged to ''hold on for
dear life" for an hour and quarter as
the fastest train in the world whisked
him across the country in dangerous
proximity to switch-bars, semaphores,
stationary freight cars and passing
trains. 1t was novel ride, and when
he alighted from the train in Buffalo
and caught his breath his only regret
was that he had purchased q ticket.

A Princess Choice.

A sister of the late king of Spain con-
sented to mingle her proud Castilian
blood with that of the people by marry
ing doctor of medicine who had not a
solitary handle to his name. When the
courtiers heard of the infanta's choice
they turned up the white of their eyes
to the Sky like ducks in thunderstorm
at the bare notion of this superb patri-
clan lily giving herself to husband be-
longing to the professional classes. The
doctor in question is well provided for
mentally and physically and his spouse
is evidently proud of him, for when she
was twitted with marrying an untitled
individual she said: 81 preferred man
without title to title without man."

A Big Hole.

In Canyon Diablo, A. t., hole six
hundred feet deep, supposed to haye
been made by meteor, has been
found. 1t is two and one-eighth miles
in circumference. The theory is, from
the appearance Of the walls and the
fact that they have found many pieces
of meteoric iron around the hole, that
the meteor penetrated the earth to a
depth OF seven or eight hundred feet
before it exploded, and this accounts
for the strange phenomena. Three
pieces OF the meteor, weighing three
hundred, six hundred and eight hun
dred and fifty pounds, respectively,
were found on the MESA within two
miles of the crater
