VIOLATING parlor Car Rule..

: 81 have violated the rules laid down
by Mr.. George M. Pullman every time I
have ridden on a railroad train in the
past two years." said Mrs. Robert YER
non of New York as she and her hus-
band were preparing to leave the parlors
of the Lindell for a walk the other day.
"You know, I'd never think of travelling
without my little dog Nellie-named
after me, you know-she's such an affec-
tionate little thing and worries 80 much

Bob goes on the road I frequently take
trips with him, and of course Nellie
comes too. The first trip we took her
with us we had to leave her in the bag
gage car, and in the morning the poor
thing was nearly dead with fright. Then
Imade up my mind I'd have her with
me or quit travelling.

rying dark green cloth bags on the street
and found that they were called 'cabas,'
and they carried most everything in
them. Well, made one for Nellie, and
she travels across the country now in q

they like, for Nellie never moves. She is

Tbeodore Hook,s Indieent paurhter.


"By curious coincidence" says an
English journal, attention has been
called to the existence, in very poor cir
cumstances, of an aged daughter Of
Theodore Hook, just at a time when a
proposal is On foot to commemorate the
brilliant humorist by a stained glass
window in the porch of Fulham church,
in the pretty Gods acre of which he
lies buried. Hooks only surviving child
has, alas! fallen on evil days, and at up
ward of 20 years of age finds herself in
sorely Strengthened circumstances.
sit is not, happily, our custom to allow
the children of those who have won
fame to suffer unaided the penalties of
unavoidable misfortune, and it may be
taken for granted that the same spirit of
respect for distinguished name which
has led to the collection of funds for the
memorial window and for the restora-
ton of the famous writer's tomb will
secure material help to his daughter in
her poverty and old age. So far as The
odore Hook himself is concerned, we
may be quite sure that no posthumous
honor that could be offered to him would
compare-could he but know of it-with
the timely aid which is asked for his in

AuaMistake.

Last week three preachers mingled in
the crowd of people looking at the show
window of a large clothing store. While
they were earnestly observing the dis
play vigilant detective came to them
and laying his hand on the shoulder Of
one Of the ministers said:
"You must go with me-"
"WhereT asked the clergyman,
"To the city hall, " replied the detect.
i've as he displayed his badge. The
preacher declined to go, but after think
ing over the matter remarked: GAN
right, ! will go. suppose I will look as
well in the city hall as you will" They
had not proceeded far before the detect
i've felt that he had made a mistake. He
excused himself, and the minister walked
away, accompanied by his brother min
listers, who had come to his rescue. This
incident recalls the arrest as suspected

few years ago by prominent detective,

Patents and what They Protect.

A business man in this city who is up
to his ears in the work necessary to
gather capital to float an enterprise, and
ct the same time to keep information Of
the nature of it away from busy rivals,
found time last week to say: "Did you
ever think that patent does not patent
in this country? Well, it's fact. All
that the patent Office does is to give you
paper with some writing on it, but If
another man steals your idea and goes
to manufacturing your invention the
patent Office will not lift finger to pro-
tect you or to stand by its own decision.
The fact that you've got patent is a
point in your favor, but you've got to
hire lawyers and fight the thief in the
courts, and If he can stand 1t to hire
lawyers longer than you can that settles
you, and you might as well make him a
present Of your invention. There are lots
Of men In the country who are getting
rich on the discoveries Of other people.
All they had to do was to take 'em and
fight the real discoveries into poverty.
The patent Office, to be respected and to
be Of any use, ought to have the power
to cause the stealer of q patent to be sent

child's puny, sickly appearance, for he
looked as if nothing more than ciga-

the hope that here was an opportunity
for word in season.

man if you smoke those bad cigarettes?

Sir RicHhhl OF. GHOST STORY.

"a = :
1t Was Fcs, ~ fs46 80 1yan Who Saw
the ii cred head isoIl-4s,. "A.
The late SIR Richard Owen used to re-
late remarkable ghost story. In his
early days. when he held the post of sur
geon to the prison at Lancaster, negro
died in jail, and a postmortem as well as
an inquest was necessary. After the in
quest the young surgeon saw the body
put in the coffin and the lid screwed
down, to be ready for the funeral next
day. Owen had at the time been ALREADY
attracted to the study of eompar,.s
anatomy, and negroes heaas were L.,
plentiful, SO he made up his mind thai
this one should not be lost to the cause
Of science. In the evening he returned
to the prison with black bag contain
ing brick-from his official position he
had no difficulty in getting admittance
to the mortuary, where the coffin lid was
unscrewed and screwed down again.
During this process the brick and the
negro's head changed places.
The ground outside the principal eD
trance to the Jail has a considerable de-
scent, and the time being winter, with
snow and frost, Owen had scarcely passed
out when he slipped and fell all his length
the bag went from his hand, and the
head tumbled out and rolled down the
paved way. He got up, caught the bag,
and following the head clutched it just
as it finished its career in small shop
where tobacco was sold. Pushing it into
the bag again, he vanished out of the
shop with all the speed he was capable OF.
Next morning, when Owen was going
to his usual duties at the prison, he was
called in by the woman at the shop where
the accident had occurred on the previous
evening. She wished him to see her hus-
band, who was very i'll. He had had, she
said, fright the night before that caused
him to look wild and dazedlike. Theman,
it turned out, was retired sea captain
who had been in many adventures among
the West India islands when many deeds
were done that did not at that time re-
quire to be accounted for. Among these
had been the killing of negro in which
he had hand, and the transaction had
left touch of trouble on his conscience.
After giving these details the old captain
told of the horrible event that took place
the night before.
He was sitting in his shop. All was
quiet, and it so CHANGED that he had been
thinking of the negro, when suddenly he
saw his very head roll into the shop in
front Of the counter, and it was followed
by the devil all in black, with black bag
in his hand. The devil snatched up the
head, and both disappeared through the
earth like fash of lightning. The de
scription was perhaps not quite compli.
mentary to the young anatomist, but ii
was satisfactory SO far that showed that
his identity had not been recognized

No More Cobblers,

There is no sense in calling shoe
maker of modern times cobbler. The
nearest thing to cobbler today is the
custom made man who confines his at
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is of compare
lively recent date, and prior to its adop-
ton the shoemaker, or cobbler, did the
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to justify the employment of an
assistant, and in larger cities he superin-
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders of
the times have practically swept this
man out of the field, and there are very
few members of the trade who are really
cobblers.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
