Claude Freeman, of Louisville, tells a
good story of Mr.. Edisons ingenuity and
inattention to business, says the New
Orleans Picayune During the war Mr..
Freeman was train dispatcher on the
Louisville and Nashville and gave Mr..
Edison position as operator at Lebanon
Junction, a lonely place, but one of con-
siderable Importance, as IL was at a
branch of the road, and there were night
trains on both branches. Every opera
tor, says Mr.. Freeman, twas required to
signal my Office each hour that we might
know he was at his post. The signals
from Lebanon Junction came in to the
second, showing remarkable attention
and promptitude. II was not long before
complaint was made by the conductor
OF an extra that the operator at Lebanon
Junction had gone and the Office was
closed when he passed that place. Soon
another reported the same, and then
another. He was always there when the
regular trains passed, and never there
when extras came, and still his signals
came in regularly as clockwork. I went
down on an extra to see what was wrong,
and discovered that he was gone and the
office locked. Breaking open the window
and entering the room / discovered a con-
trivance fastened TO the key of the in
strument and connected with the clock in
such a way that whenever the clock
struck the proper signal was registered
in the Office at Louisville. / could not help
admiring the genius of the young opera
tor, but he was much too good an inventor
for railroad company to use his SER
Vices.''

A piszusted Lawyer.

Several years ago, says the indianapolis
Sentinel, when Judge Francis J. Rein
hard, the well-knOwn German lawyer of
this city, was young but enthusiastio
attorney practicing at Crown Point, he
was called in to defend a man charged
with circulating counterfeit money He
talked with the accused several times in
Jail and became impressed with the idea
that the man was honest, and was liter
ally being outraged by the authorities.
Mr.. Reinhard entered into the case with
characteristic earnestness and prepared
himself thoroughly to make the defense.
When the case came to preliminary hear
ing the lawyer made terrific fight and
secured the discharge of his client. Out
side the court room, after the trial, the
client button-holed Lawyer Reinhard
and leading him into an alley out of sight
Of the gaping crowd, paid him his fee
with ten silver dollars. Then, with tears
in his eyes, he thanked the lawyer and
went his way.
Mr. Reinhard Immediately proceeded to
the once of friend. to whom he owed a
debt of 60 cents, and rendered one of his
newly-made dollars.
Say, Frank, said the friend, after an
inspection Of the money, this dollar is
counterfeit"
You're certainly mistaken" replied
Lawyer Reinhard. II just took it as
part of a fee from man whom am con-
tident is honest and perfectly reliable.
l am not easily mistaken in my esti-
mate of the character of my clients.n
"They may all be So" replied the
friend, "but this money is spurious, just
the same, and to prove it we will go over
TO the bank
Thereupon the gentleman went to the
bank, not far away, and laid down the
dollar, asking for change The teller, an
elderly and conservative man, adjusted a
monocle TO his eye, gazed long and earnest
ly at the coin, and then showed it back
through the window, with the remark:
Gentleman, we don't take such money
as that here. 1t is rank counterfeit"
Judge Reinhard at that time, as now,
was, very gentlemanly in diction and
manner, but he couldn't help himself,
and with the one expression, "Wel, I'll
be id" turned on his heel and went out
the steet. Every last one of the silver
dollars he had worked so hard to earn
was a counterfeit, and within a short
time thereafter his honest client was sent
to the prison south for five years for
making and circulating crooked money.

a NUMBER OF SHORT STORIES.
They Will Appear in the Morning
News Weekly This Year.

News Weekly This Year.
We will present in next Sundays
issue Of the MORNING NEWS "The Boyle
Of the Wishing Gate" the first Of a
series Of short stories from the pen Of
Edgar L. Wakeman, entitled "Tales of
Ten Travellers" to appear weekly in our
columns during all Of the present year.
Mr. Wakeman. who has earned world
wide fame as the "pOet-traveler, steps
from his many years Of Wandering" in
'-all civilized countries into the broader
land OF romance like an old and ever
welcomed traveller there. We almost
hear the voice Of Hawthorne, Of Irving
and of Dickens in this quaint and mellow
argument TO his tales:
1--WE are Ten Travellers. There is the
Merry Traveller, the Morose Traveller,
the Clerical Traveller, the Gypsy Traveller,
the Chronic Traveller, the Casual
Traveller, the Student Traveller, the Aim
less Traveller, the Commercial Traveller,
the Vagabond Traveller. How we came
to know each other is no matter. We
meet at times at my own apartments in
quaint old inn. Besides a cavernous fire
place, in which countless now sightless
eyes have for centuries peered in a pleas
ant way we re-live our pllgrimings, or re-
count those romances of others which
have touched our hearts and tarried
there. In this old room, with its brown
rafters, decrepit floor and little high
dormer windows, like the portfolios of an
old frigate, we seem to become almost
one in this kindly companionship. We are
so much one that when my guests have
departed. sit here BY the old fireplace,
where friendly voices and presences
liRger, and set down as best / may the
pleasant tales that have been told +"
ANY lover of good literature must read
the ''Bogle OF the Wishing Gate with
happy anticipation Of the ample feast to
come. The story is q remarkable one, not
only for It's scholarly fidelity to history
and tradition, its utilization of curious
pagan-Christian custom still in vogue. its
exquisite descriptive passages and It's
glimpses of quaint humor and character.
but also for that masterful employment
of those literary unities which measure
bly, leaves upon the mind Of the apprecia-
tive reader that sense of enlarged knowl-
edge and pleasure always derived from
the perusal of some great work of fiction.
The story will also appear in the WEEKLY
NEWS
