CALDWELL'S REPARTEE.

with President Newell.
Those who best knew President
Newell, OF the Lake Shore. will best
appreciate recent exchange of cour-
tesies between him President Cald :.
we'll, OF the Nickel Plate, now also
general manager of the Lake Shore.
President Newell would give a man a
500 bill and never think twice about
it. When 1t came to giving passes
over the Lake Shore he was ALBANIAN
tine In his refusal. Those be did
give were so limited to special trains
that number of the officials Of the
company have never yet ridden on
the limited or fast mail trains.
1t Is the custom for all railroad
presidents TO interchange annual
passes, and on recent New Years
President Newell made up his packet
Of exchange passes and sent them
out. Across the end OF the one he
sent President Caldwell was printed
in red ink the words:

no pleasurable sensation to lie In one

pens the men usually get out and
give full possession, rent free, 10 the

@dug-out." Some houses of this class
are elegantly furnished. The walls
and ceiling are papered, the floor is
carpeted, and the windows have real
glass panes In them. In these how
ever, there is scarcely any woodwork.
To q stranger, the sight OF a whole
hamlet or village of these dug-outs is
a novel one. At first he would notice
only a number OF piles OF dirt. each
with one solitary joint of stovepipe
sticking up out of the ground. AS
he gets nearer he notices that each
pile OF dirt has door opening down
into it. Then, perhaps, child will
stick its head out of the door aud

dog standing at the entrance to its

him very much OF prairie-dog town.
1t will be hard at first for him to re-
alize that these can be happy, con-
tented and even prosperous homes.
Many OF them, indeed. are kept more
neatly on the inside than far more
pretensious houses sometimes are.

the west and southwest portions OF
this country know that this sort of q
dwelling is often not only the cheap

comfortable. Indeed, when a man
takes up large area OF government
land, says q writer for the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, what else Is he to
do? He is many miles from u rail-

has with him, he can't build house

trunk men are now adopting Ameri-

hand bags and fine leather goods
made in America are more durable
and for general taste quite as fine as
those made In England and France.
A well-known theatrical man, and he
is certainly good authority, states
that the best trunks In the world are
made in Chicago. The life of good
trunk from the jobber is limited from
one to three years, but there are
plenty of trunks that have been pur-
chased there that have seen five to
fifteen years active service. There
are well preserved old sole.leather
heirlooms that have seen half cent

intermittent.

Of England, the snowy French trunks

Freezing Butter.

The freezing OF butter Is now
practiced. as the reader probably
knows. According to New York
trade paper. in few cases reports
were made OF lots of butter which
were not benefited by freezing, but
in every instance 1t was stated that 1t
was due 10 the fact that these lots OF
butter were of poor quality, having
too much salt ana water or having too
much cheese curd left in the butter.
1t was found that the butter which
kerJ best in the freezers was that
which was OF medium fair sailing,
and was free from cheese curd and
water. Special success was found in
freezing the finest separator cream
cries, which came out after six to
eight months storage with the favor
and bouquet OF the finest fresh made
stock
In past years it has been the Gus
tom or butter-makers to put an extra
amount OF salt in butter intended
for holding, rs the high salted butter
would keep longer. but the extra
amount OF salt was Objectionable to
most customers, and il is fortunate
to learn that the finest and most
delicately sailed butter keeps best in
the freezers and retains its flavor and
aroma for an indefinite time. AS
noted above, the butter which is full
of water or curdy matter is more
injured than benefited 10y freezing, as
the foreign substances will In most
cases cause granulation In freezing,
injuring the texture and causing the
butter to bore ragged on the trier.
The freezing OF the butter is a
great modern improvement in its
storing and preserving, and the cold
storage men are meeting all the re-
qulrements Of the times. The whole
burden OF success will hereafter lie
upon the creamerymen, and it will
be to their interest to make the finest
separator butter free from curd and
water, mildly and nicely sailed with
the finest salt, and happy success will
crown the efforts OF all parties.

who just come from Paris, delighted
Bonaparte with story about how
the grand Turk had invaded certain
Russian pt6ythces and had there
found . lafRe number OF Frenchmen
held as prisoners OF war.
The legend-which was nothing
but a legend--rau that the Mahom-
etan leader had set these poor fellows
free at once and enrolled them In his
own force, at the same time telling
them that no one who had served
under Napoleon should ever despair
of bringing him back to the imperial
throne of France.
The Algerian pirates, who had q
sublime regard for force, are said to
have h00ted at the crews of French
vessels carrying the Bourbon flag,
after the frst restoration, exclaim-
ing: you have been traitors to your
great leader. You have deserted
your Emperor. And 1t may well be
supposed that among the men In each
of the crews so hooted there were
some who felt swelling in the
throat at the thought of how the
glory or the tri-color had been eff
faced.
1t Is related that a felucca of these
Algeria pirates was wrecked near
Lungone, on the coast of Elba, two
months after Napoleon took posses
sion OF his diminutive realm. Some
friends of Napoleon told him that
these men had wrecked themselves
on purpose SO as to get on the island,
probably as hired assassins for the
allied powers. He secuted this story,
but decided to ride over with General
Bertrand and talk with the Alge-
rians.
Bertrand said severely to the ship
wrecked men: did you come here to
kill the great Emperor"
"We?" they exclaimed. "We make
war on the Sultan Of Fire? Never!
We have not SO much presumption
as TO war with Allah"
Napoleon was greatly pleased. He
announced himself at once. The
pirates threw themselves upon their
faces before him. They cheered
wildly for "Bonabardi." as they called
him In their broken dialect. He
loaded them with gifts and sent them
away, friends forever. They told
the story to their own people, and
from that time the commerce Of
Elba was free from the slightest
molestation at the hands of the
scourges of the Mediterranean. More
than that, Napoleon was enabled to
use these people to bear messages to
to and from his friends. Their ad-
miratiOn was not an unimportan Mt
factor In his safe return to France for
the glorious but Inflated campaign
that ended in Waterloo
