HE DID NOT HAVE TO PAY.
One-LegGed Pennsylvania Man Who Has
Spent a Fortune in Tolls.

spent a Fortune in Tolls.
Speaking of bridges.
One time there was a one-Iegged
man who lived in kittanning, Pa,
and who had a fairly comfortable
MARI ed sister across the river in
Williamsburg. He had lived along
the rivers of Pennsylvania all his
life, and had worked at the modest
but honorable occupation of shoe
maker, but who had in every instance
had some tie on the farther side OF
the river viii b drew him over the
bridge evenings and Sundays and hol-
idays
OF course in Pennsylvania all the
bridges are toll bridges, ana even foot
passengers are required to contribute
at least , cents every time they
cross.
This shoemaker had observed that
a large number OF men in the hum
bier walks of life wore one leg instead
of two, as was the case in other
states Indeed, he was quite con-
soled with his loss by the reflection
that peg-legged men were quite the
fashion.
One ovening he started across the
bridge IS usual, and when he came TO
the toll-taker's lodge in the center he
stumbled over the roadway, dropped
his little fee and went on.
Funny thing" he mused. 81
never paid my toll yet but | had to
walk across the roadway to the toll
taker. My path seems always TO be
on the wrong side of the bridge. 1
should think now and then a toll
takers office should be on my side of
the bridge"
But he went on, visited his sister
and started back On the return
trip he met another peg-legged man
going over to Kittanning, and the
two walked together. When they
came to the lodge the shoemaker
tished up two pennies and started
across the dusty roadway.
Where you going" asked the
other peg-Iegged man, halting and
looking curiously at his companion.
"GOing to pay toll"
"Why, you don't have to-"
WHAT"
''You don't have to. One-legged
men don't have to paw toll in Penn
sylvania The law always exempts
them. 1t is only able-bodied men
who pay toll"
The shoemaker looked long and
earnestly at the wise man; then con-
cluded he would try it. He walked
past the lodge, watched the keeper,
saw grin spread over that pig iron
face, and then burst out
"And / have been paying toll on
this bridge for the past four years,
four times week! Jerusalem, what
a fool I've been"
"Yes," agreed his companion.
"And what is worse " he resumed
mournfully ''is that | have always
been on the wrong walk, and have
had to cross over"
"Yes, you're in hard luck"
But that didn't console him. Moth
ing did. He kicked himself all the
way to Kittanning with his peg leg
He took daily trips to his ster's
home, He found rooms in Williams
burg and board in Kittanning-
the trip six times day. He went
over and back whenever he had time,
just to even things up. But he never
| co0ld, to the day OF his death, get
back the money he had needlessly
played against a Pennsylvania toll

A youthful artist declares that a

assented 10 the arrangement but

Philosophy in the Depot.

A prophet is not without honor
save in his own country and a
philosopher nr group of philosophers
are rarely, if ever. appreciated by the
ordinary mob The truth Of these
aphor SINS is illu u9trated by an Incl
dent which occurred in the Grand
Central station, says the New York
Herald.
Three gentlemen stood chatting
there while waiting for train, when
one, glancing down, noticed at his
feet two-thirds Of cigarette.
"Ah," said he, 1.-THE lady came
early-earl.er than expected and the
fellow had not time to finish his
smoke"
No" remarked another, the
chances are that she was late in keep
ing the appointment He thought
he would smoke just one more and
then give waiting up as a bad job.
But she came before he had taken a
half dozen draws"
II believe you are both wrong, :"
sa I'd the third. This is case with
out a lady. He was either begin
ner and couldn't stand any more, or
he dropped it by accident and was too
proud to pick it up"
Each one of the three men was sure
his speculation was right, or at least
argued in support Of it; and what a
fruitful somce Of argument three
quarters OF a cigarette will furnish if
the persons have sufficient intelli-
gence to sustain the trend of thought.
AT short distance from the group
were two other philosophers, boys
under fifteen, given to speculation.
They watched the animated con
yersation, observed that the gentle
men pointed toward the unfinished
cigarette.
After a brief interval one of them
said 'Tom, do you see them three
gents? What ails 'em?"
''Nuthin'; they're tighten over a
bit of grasshopIer. Tryin' ter eide

fetches 'em every time"

American Mothers.

When l was in America L was
touched by the sacrlticial life of a
mOUher. Girls do not always marry
early there. They like good time,
and their mothers cannot bear TO part
from them, say from fifteen to twenty
five. But when they marry, they put
on heavier chains than any English
mother does, whose love expresses it,
self differently. American devotion
to the children is rel gion. The
husband never dreams of demurring
to wife and family quitting him for
months at time and sending him
to live at his club. if the babies
health or entertainment seem to call
for it.
The mother nurses them in sick
ness, gives up her likes and dislikeS,
her accomplishments, her amuse-
/. .ments, her husband, keeps up or
drops circle at the bidding of the
irresponsible small things she is
never divided from her young ones,
sometimes not night OF day, till they
are we'll on in their teens; she is
nursemaid, gOverness sister, all in
one, and it wears her out-sometimes
injuries them-this long subsection.
In England, we used to have a
similar sub, ,ection, but it was of the
child to the mother English mothers
do not think they ought to rank sec
ord in their own house, except to
their husbands and husbands are not
always aware how much OF self-ab-
negatiOn even that involves: the wife
herself hardly knows She writes for
him, intrigues for him, gives up her
music. gives up her painting her
reading: she cannot do all, and hus-
band and house must come first.
When she has brought up all the
children, she thinks her toll may be
ghtcned. The girls can take some
of the housekeeping, the boys can
lift the strain on the FANNY purse
Do they see it, these young espiegles?
Not much. Harry is in no hurry tC
shackle himself. FlOrry does not
want to do housekeeping; she wants
to amuse herself all day long. The

TWO DEPUTIES KILLED.
Freight Train Wreck on the Wis,
consin Central Tracks.


CHICAGO. July IL. - Two deputy
United States marshals met their deaths
and two others were more or less serl-
ously injured at o'clock this afternoon
in a collision between freight trains on
the Wisconsin Central tracks near Six
teenth and Jackson streets crossing.
Two locomotives and several cars were
wrecked in the accident. and the three
story brick warehouse of Burdett, Smith
q Co., stove manufacturers, occupied
Jointly by that firm and Norton Bros,
manufacturers OF tinware, was partly
destroyed. The men who met death
were:
j. II. BRISTOL, deputy United
States marshal. brushed under box car,
and taken out dead.
WILLIAM PROSS, deputy United
States marshal. both legs crushed and
injured internally; died at county hos
pltal.
The injured were:
Andrew Blaes, deputy United States
marshal, left foot and leg mangled; leg
amputated; condition critical.
Augustine Wright, deputy United
States marshal from Baltimore; not
serious.
The Baltimore & Ohio and Wisconsin
Central jointly use this track, and by
some misunderstanding of orders both
trains were moving toward each other
on the same track. They met on a
curve. and the impact as the two en-
gines came together was tremendous.
Both engines were buried under the
mass of shattered cars they were haul
ing. and the helpless deputies who were
riding on top of the cars next the en-
gines were caught add crushed beneath
the debris. A lire broke out in the
Wreckage, but Was soon controlled by
the fire department. The train crews,
seeing that collision was inevitable,
saved themselves by jumping.
