At las: the railroads are TAX
ing what may prove to be eff.
fectual measures to prevent
train robberies. According to
the Chicago Tribune a bullet
proof car is being constructed
in that city, from which guards
may fire from positions of com.
parative safety upon the robber.
The car is also to be supplied
with steel cages which can only
be opened from the outside by
the station masters, and in these
the safes will be placed. Train
robbery can be stamped out
when the railroad and express
companies take hold of the mat

Changing His Mind.

While rounding the post at the
head OF the stairs on his way to bed
the sleepy old father OF the family
knocked his tenderest corn against
something hard. In the recoil he
upset q broom, q dust-pan and a coal
bucket that somebody had left
standing near the top step, and they
went banging down the stairway. In
the parlor sat young Spoonamore.
As he listened to the horrible racket
and the energetic local outburst
from the floor above that accompa.
MED it he turned pale.
"ls your father taking that method
OF showing his displeasure at my
coming here, Miss Pinkie2" he whis.
pered, anxiously.
"You needn't be afraid of papa,
Mr. SpoonamOre." she answered. He
has changed his mind about YOU"
"Is-is that the way he changes
his mind?" he inquired, nervously
lingering his hat.

The foresight Lord Rosebery dis
played in arranging his matrimonial
plans is illustrated IN the following
anecdote: Shortly after he had re-
turned from his continent al tour. he
was one of a house party at Ment-
more, a lordlY pleasure house which
Baron Meyer Rothschild had built
for himself in Buckinghamshire.
One evening, at dinner. the CONVEX
sation turned on the exquisite decor
ations of the room. Lord Rosebery' s
observation to his next neighEor, by
way of epilogue to the conversation,
was: Eyes, this place would suit me
excellently." When, seven years
later, he had married the daughter
of the house, and was the owner of
Mentmore, his friend, happening to
meet him, reminded him of this OBJ
servatlon. Lord Rosebery replied
with assumed gravity. but with a
tell tale twinkle in his eye: "Well,
of course you know the unexpected
always happens. "-Argonaut
