The Good Story Told on a Well-KnOwn
Knight of the Bell Punch.

There is a certain well-known engineer
on an equally well-knOwn railroad going
out of Rutland, whose skill in conduct
the ''iron horse over steel rails and
sleepers, has recently been proved
greater than his ability to guide flesh
and blood equine over New York State
roads. This funny little yarn has been
carefully concealed until the other day,
when it was divulged to Neios reporter,
who herewith springs his tale upon
confiding world.
The engineer in question will be called
Smith-because that isn't his name.
Well, Smith few days ago had occasion
to take Conductor Bingham's train
cover the lake, and accompanied by his
wife remained in Ii over Sunday, the at
traction of the Burleigh house and other
local temptations being heightened by
generous proffer on the part of COnduc-
tor Bingham to let "Smith" use his
horse. This horse is as high strung as
was Haman of old, and more nervous
than young man in his first dress suit.
Charley's wife eyed the beast with an air
of some concern as her husband drove
up to the hotel steps to receive her, but
Charley assured her that''it was all right;
he could drive any horse that ever
WalKeu OF run. Do Iney sJdTteu VI, anu
for some time all went well.
The sleighing was fine and the weather
delightful. All would have been well
had not the engineer in an evil moment
decided to "cut a DASH through the
town before putting up his. rig. Two
dainty fiocks of the whip on Bingham s
horse did the business, and the animal,
seizing the bit in his mouth, started
down the road at a terrific pace. In vain
Charley yelled "whoa ~ There was no
whoa" in that horse, who despite the
saving of reins and the full check of
Charley's avoirdupois, went on, like
| Tennyson's brook, forever"
He was finally stopped, but a sad
wreck was the result. The sleigh dasher
was kicked into 100000 pieces. The
robe was lost in front of the hotel, while
lump the size of roc's egg and a
scratch over Charley's right eye left him

THE DIFFERENCE WILL NOT BE so
MUCH HEREAFTER.

was talking with ex-President An
drew d. White of Cornell University
about some phases of the Chilean con-
troversy, says the Man About Town of
the New York Press, when, among other
things, he said: "The course pursued in
this matter by the English press and
English leaders of popular sentiment
has been simply abominable. They have
insisted that the Omitted States, as ma
ton 65,000,000 people, was prosecuting
Chile, because the South American Re
public has only about 100000 inhabit-
ants. They have criticised the firm
stand taken by the United States in de-
manding an apology aud reparation for
the attacks on sailors who wore the
United States uniform, but they have
failed to recall the actions of the English
Government under similar circum-
stances. Take the affair at Alexandria,
Egypt, as an example. For some trivial
offense and because the officers of the
English fleet were DESTROYS of trying
some new large sized guns, the English
warships in that port sent cannon balls
sweeping through the city and cutting
great swaths among the houses. was
in Naples several years ago when an En-
glish tourist was murdered by bandits,
nifcent set of silver toilet service in a
box which he carried under the seat in
his coach. He stopped at an inn where
a servant girl was in league with road
robbers She saw this case of silver and
thought it was enormously valuable, and
so reported to the bandits. They stop
ped The Englishman's coach on the road
and demanded his treasure box. He did
not know at first what they meant, but
| finally concluded that 1t was his toilet
set. He was reaching down under his
seat for his box, when the robbers sus-
pected that he was trying to get his piss
tolls. They fred into the coach and he
was killed. A most peculiar thing hap
| pened within week. One of the big
| gest frigates in the English service sailed
| into the haTbor of Naples. She had Or
ders to double shot her guns and fire in
to the city If the murderers of this Eng
lishman were not apprehended and
hung. Within the next three weeks
eighteen persons were hanged for the
Englishman's murder. Never since that
affair has NapOlian laid vicious hands
upon an Engllshman. He will attack a
native of any other country with imDu-
nifty, but he will scarcely so much as
covet an Englishman's wealth. The &C
ton of the English Government was so
sudden, rigid and fOrceful that every
citizen of Naples keeps his hands off
of Englishmen."
Mr.. White told me another thing about
the difference between an English and
an American passport which is remarka-
BILE, but likely to be lessened by the firm
ness of the United States with reference
the Valparaiso outrage. Said Mr.. White
SIN my own travels abroad have found
that an American passport is not regard
ed with as much respect as an English
passport, but have thought that posi-.
bly, the difference lay in myself. / was
chatting the other day with Mr.. Poultney
Bigelow, who has been great traveller

To those who have rendered me their

consequences.

In commenting on the speed of the
horse, Charlie says that H. B. Winship
isn't in it, while spectators who watched
the horse as it randy described his speed
as the nearest approaching that of new

1t is unsafe to say "horse" to Charles,
who declares that the one which needs

over passport even if the officials oil a
country he was about tn visit should hes
itate to wise his own. He said to me that
while recently in China he found that
English passports were everywhere re-
spected and that Cinnamon were very nb-
sequious to any man who carried an Eng
lish passport. An American passport is
sneered at, and the man who carried it
could get few accommodations and little
attention. Thisis about the experience
to be met with by American travellers
the world over. In Bulgaria and some
OF the nations of that section an Ameri-
can passport is scarcely recognized at all.
What this government must do to make
American citizenship recognized the
world over, and what it has already be-
gun to do to that end, is to protect
American citizens from violence and as
sault in every part of the civilized world. {"

the new pure substitute for
lard. Cottolene is simply
pure cottonseed oil and
pure beef suet, two of the
healthiest foods known.
Properly combined they
are better than lard for all
kinds of shortening, and
everyone can eat, digest,
and enjoy food cooked with
it. Food that was indiges-
tible When cooked with
lard is easily digested when
cooked with Cottolene, and
many of the leading house
keepers of the land say
they can make nicer bread,
