DR. Furness OF Philadelphia tells a

says, .'boarded a street car in Boston
one day, and one of them, hearing it
intimated that Wendell Phillips was
in the car. got up and asked the con
ductor to point him out. The conduc-

to the orator said: You are Mr..
Phillips, l am told?" Yes, sir L

something, and [ trust, sir, you will
not be offended There is no fear
of it. was the sturdy answer. and then
the minister began to ask Mr.. Phillips
earnestly why he persisted in stirring
mp such an unfriendly agitation in
one part of the country about an evil
that existed in another part. Why
said the clergyman, do you not 60

the north in peace? Mr.. Phillips

MISTAKES OF HISTORY.
Smithsonian Institution Professor Pricks
Holes in Some Accepted Beliefs.
"What * history but universally

what is history but universally ac-
cepted fable?" said learned Smithson-
ian to a writer for the Washington
Star. Il quote the great Napoleon.
For example, consider Plymouth rock.
In the town of Plymouth is a rock with
a fence around it. 1t is a sort Of local
fetch On Forefathers' day every year
exercises are held there commemorate
ing the alleged fact that on this rock
the Pilgrims landed. As a matter of
fact there is no evidence that such was
the fact Prof Chandler, the historical
expert of Harvard, has traced the story
back and believes it to have been started
by an old man named Faunce, who
many years ago pointed out the rock to
some children, saying: Here they
landed
History states that the Pilgrims
arrived Sunday, but refrained from
landing until Monday lest they should
break the Sabbath. That is pure non
sense. As a matter of fact the women
and children stayed on the ship all win
ter, because it was more comfortable.
The gorgeousness and high civisza-
ton of the ancient MeXicans at the time
of the Spanish conquest have been per-
manently embalmed in history The
whole story is a misrepresentation.
Crotez naturally wished to give an i'm
preston at home that he had conquered
a great and rich nation. In reality 1t

archal, whole families of 100 or more
persons living in one house. The COM
munal dwelling was Of one story and
necessarily of large size. These struc-
lures were described by the Spanish as
palaces The people ate only one
cooked meal each day, for the rest of
their food depending on a grub diet

taken of by so many individuals, are
reported in history as 'banquets.'

A telephone call was then sent III that

whole institution would be in ashes.
A second alarm was sounded and the

with difficulty Most of the children's
wearing apparel was destroyed, and
the children, many of whom were sick,
suffered considerably from the cold.

THEY THOUGHT SHE MUST BE SHY
So the Nervously Affable Lady Had Her
Revenge All Unbeknown.

The State street horse car was already
in motion when the last passengers got
in. They were genuine English swells
one could see that at a glance. He was
white-haired stately, yet with deep
laughter lines carved on his face. She
was handsome, high-bred, and twenty
years his junior; she seemed utterly
Oblivious of the other occupants of the
car, and she wore bonnet which the
observant young woman in the corner
opposite determined to copy before she
slept.
Il wonder now" she remarked, what
tram line this happens to be?"
I'm sure | don't know" replied the
old gentleman, but it really matters
very little. you know, so long as it
takes us where we wish to be set down. :"
A nervously affable lady sitting next
to the old gentleman overheard them
and, clearing her throat, remarked:
This is the North Chicago horse car.
They call it the Ladies line, because. {"
she paused and glanced weakly about
the car, because so many ladies travel
on it, l guess"
The old gentleman bowed in courte-
Gus thanks for the information; then he
turned to his companion, to whom APP
parently the space occupied by the
nervously atfable lady was vacant. and
repeated it. Encouraged by this, his
neighbor proceeded to enlighten the
strangers as to the buildings and land
marks they passed, becoming more agi-
tated and incoherent as the English
woman still remained apparently I'M
conscious of her rema Ks until they
were repeated to her.
At last the pair got off and. after
watching them reach the pavement, the
nervously affable lady turned to the
young woman in the corner opposite
and said: Il feel it my duty to do what
| can for strangers in a big place like
Chicago" Then she paused and sighed.
1T takes all kinds of people to make
world, doesn't it? Now. he was a real
nice old gentleman, wasn't he? But
she seemed queer kind of lady"
Then, witt perfectly unconscious
sarcasm the young woman opposite re-
piled: 20, well, perhaps She hasn't
seen much of the world and is kind of
shy"
May be that's it, said the nervously
affable lady.
And to the rest of the passengers it
seemed that she was unconsciously
avenged.
