TOOK THE CAR.

How Two Englishmen Succeeded in Get
ting Lower Berths.
There is decision and energy
about Englishmen sometimes which
arouses admiration, says the Los An
geles Herald. A case in point &C.
Cured on Monday. Two men, whose
clothes, monocles and accent forcib}y
announced their nationality, called
at the ticket office of the Southern
Pacific Railroad and asked for two
lower berths On the train to San
Francisco.
"They are all gone. You can have
uppers, though" was the response.
ooh, no; doncher know me friend
is beastly i'll, and he cahn't go unless
he has a lower berth. He must have
one, doncher know"
The agent was sorry, but as he
only had upper berths, he could do
nothing Then the spokesman in
sisted on seeing Mr.. Crawley, and
that official again explained the alb
sence of any lower berth, only to re-
ceive the reply: Jaw, yes; but we
must have lower, doncher know"
Call right, if you must, you must, u
answered the official "Ihey will
cost you just $3.50. We have an ex-
ira car here, and can put it in for you
at that figure, it upper bcrths are
not good enough"
Jaw! Yes, thanks awful]y."
They paid the money, the empty
Pullman was coupled onto the train,
and the boys at the depot say that
before the cars left the Englishmen
had made the porter make up every
berth in the car They said they had
paid for each of the sections and
they proposed to come as near as pos
sible to getting their moneys worth.

one committee to another and had
been pigeon-holed time and again it
did pass the lower house along to-
ward the end of the session, but did
not reach the Senate. The next ses-
sion it had about the same experience,
and, in fact, the bill Jared along from
year to year with little prospect of
ever becoming law until 1843. Yet
Prof. Morse had not grown utterly
discouraged.
Passed at the Last Moment.
The last day of the session of 1343
arrived. The telegraph bill had
passed to the third reading in the
Senate, but there were 119 bills
ahead of it, Professor Morse gave
up in despair. He had spent all his
money; he had spent his time for six
years trying to obtain the desired aid
from Congress, and now all was to

so occupied his father was baptized
and allied himself with the Presby-
terian Church. Watari also was bap-
tized and became a Presbyterian and
resolved to devote himself to the
ministry of that body. He deter
mined to come to America and SO, at
the age of IS, with scarcely any
knowledge of English and with no
relatives or friends here, he set forth
for America. He landed at San Fran
cisco and soon made friends there.
He also entered a school there and
continued his studies, during the
prog of which he became a Uni
tartan. Watari soon announced him
self as candidate for the Unitarian
ministry and went to Allegheny Col
lege, Meadville. Pa, in preparation
for this post. Later he attended the
Harvard Divinity School, whence he
was graduated last year. While there
he preached ninety-six times and lee
tured sixty throughout New England.
He then began preaching at Shirley,
Mass, and a short time since was
ordained and became pastor at Vine
land.

solving to worry no more about the
matter, the inventor went to bed
and slept.
The next morning, March 4, 1913,
while Professor Morse was yet sleep.
ing, a knock came at his door and
awakened him. Upon going to the
door he received the card Of a young
lady, Miss Annie G. Ellsworth, daugh-
ter of his old friend, who was then
commissioner Of patents. As soon as
possible he dressed himself and went
to the parlor to meet Miss Ellsworth,
who, with great enthusiasm. gave
him the news that his bill had
passed.
1.-The Lord be praised; He has an
swered my prayer, replied Professor
NOISE. LAST night when l left the
Senate / thought there was no posi-
bility of my bill being passed Icame
to my room and left it all with the
Lord, and here is the answer to my
prayer.

the wild dream of ocean cables never
entered his mind at that time. He
reasoned that his enterprise was a
proper one for Congress to aid, and
finally, in 1887, he made his appeal
for an appropriation Of $50, 900 to en-
able him to construct line and put
it in operation.
The application to Congress was
met with derision and ieers. One
Congressman moved that one-half of
the sum asked for be appropriated
for experiments in mesmerism. Rep
resentative Sam Houston suggested
that "Millerism" was equally entitled
to recognition and aid from Congress,
and Congressman John White, Of
Kentucky, who occupied the chair,
remarked, amid great laughter, that
cit would require scientific analysis
TO determine how far the magnetism
of mesmerism was analogous to that
to be employed in telegraphs. There
was but little faith in the reliability

end in failure. The case seemed
hopeless. There was but four hours
remaining of the session. Professor
Morse was sanguine man and All
earnest Christian. During his strug-
giles he had been filled with hope, and
that hope had urged him on to the
contamination of his cherished OBJ
ject. He had done all he could, he
had exerted all the influence among
his friends it was possible for him to
exert, and so he determined that so
far as he was concerned he could do
no more. He went to his room in his
hotel not knowing what to do-only
to give up all hope. He had prayed
often to God to help him, and now he
thought the only chance for success
was from omnipotence. He after
ward told an old college friend that
in this extremity he knelt down
alore in his room and brought the

for three or four years thereafter.
Even then, being poor man, he
found it impossible to put it in op-
GRAFTON. After he had exhausted
every resource within his power to
enlist capital in the enterprise, the
thought came to Professor Morse of
presenting the matter to the
United States Government and
asking it's aid. He fully be-
lieved in the value of his in
vention and felt convinced that if
he could only get line in operation
the telegraph would at once take a
foremost position as one of the great
inventions of the age. He foresaw
that in few years the lines would
be extended and instantaneous CON-
munication would be established be-
tween the cities of this country and
would extend over Europe, though

Caustic Wit of an English Judge

Lord Bowen, besides being a great
Judge, was great wit. How happy,
for instance, was the amendment he
proposed when the Judges were draw
ing up an address to the Queen on
the occasion of her Majesty's jubilee:
CONSCIOUS as we are of our shortcom-
ings," said the address; conscious as
we are of one another's shortcomings,
suggested Lord Bowen.
Not long ago Lord Bowen was
called upon, it is said, to sit in the
Admiralty Court Upon taking his
seat he asked indulgence on account
of his inexperience in admiralty bust

BOnners. Reasons.

Robert Bonner went to the New
York Herald one day, and asked the
business manager, Mr.. Elliott, if he
could have page of the Herald for
next morning. Mr.. Elliott said:
"Certainly-two if you like" "Then
I'll take four" said Mr.. Bonner. "All
right. You can have four" Then
I'll take eight" was the prompt re-
spouse of Mr.. Bonner. After con-
sultation with Mr.. Hudson, the ed
itor, it was arranged that Mr.. Bon
ner was to have eight pages, but no
more, as to give him more space
would tax the resources of the COM
posing-room. ooh, you won't have
much to set up, said Mr.. Bonner; Il
want only this six-line advertisement
in small type, set in the center OF
each column" 1t was so printed next
day. 1t was the announcement of a
new serial Observation-Disclosures story
by Sylvanus Cobb, Jr. The morning
the advertisement appeared, Mr..
Bonner's minister rushed to his office
to demonstrate with him on the ex-
travagance and absurdity of paying
forty-eight times for the insertion of
the same insignificant announcement.
"Now, why did you do it?" the min
lister asked. Il had two reasons,
Mr.. Bonner replied: Il was not going
to be bluffed by Joe Elliott, and I
wanted to find out if you read the
Herald. / see you do"

still, the barrel may have been
deaconed," remarked old Bob.
'Deaconed,'" repeated Uncle
Dave; "what does that mean?"
I'll tell you," said Cd Bob. "In
preparing and putting up apples for
market, the practice of 'deacouing,
as it is called, is ye!y extensively fol-
lowed, that it means the topping off
of barrel of the fruit with the best
and largest specimens. 1t is said the
term 'deaconing' originated in the
fact that some one holding the office
of deacon in some church somewhere
in New England had distinguished
himself by adopting this system in
putting mp his apples for market
cat first the practice was to 'dea-
con the apples at enc end of the bar
rel only, but an incident led to an
improvement. A dealer in a Maine
town, who understood the trick, at
one time sold a barrel of apples to a
customer and recommended them as
the choicest grown. In due time
the barrel was opened and found to
contain very inferior quality: where
upon the customer, feeling that he
had been impos ed upon, made COM
plant to the seller, who very cOolly
observed that he must have opened
the barrel at the wrong end. This
experience, however, made him more
careful in putting up his apples. In
stead of 'deaconing' the barrels at
one end he 'deaconed' them at both
ends. Boston Herald.
