Worried to Death.

R. M. Burnett was the constant com.
panion Of ex-Gov. Russell at Chicago.
When informed of his death Mr.. Bur-
nett was so surprised and panied that
he could hardly give expression to his
obviously deep sorrow.
When Questioned to see if there was
any intimation given by Mr.. Russell
during the convention of his indisposi-
tion, Mr.. Burnett said: Il did not
think that the governor was ill, but
there is no doubt but that he was heart
broken over the action of some of the
Massachusetts delegation in the con-
vention. He worried over it night. and
day. He feared that the actions Of
some of the delegates would reflect
upon the good name of the common
wealth. I know that it preyed upon
his mind. I used to joke with him and
try to laugh it off, to relieve his mind
But it was too serious thing for him
it meant too much to him-to permit
even jest on it."-Boston Advertiser.

PASSENGER. IN A TUBE.

LondOners Think They Have the
Best Rapid Transit System.
+ The failure of the effort to furnish
New York with an acceptable plan Of
rapid transit has drawn renewed at
tention to the suitability for that pur-
pose of the Greathead system, now o.
Grating in London. This consists of a
circular car, which travels within a
tube running sixty feet underground.
It has been running so successfully for
four years that another line on the
same principle is being constructed.
The cars can be made light as day, the
motion is smooth and the supply Of
pure, fresh air is perfect. Accidents
are made impossible by automatic ap-
pliances. The passengers are carried
up and down to the stations by cleo
trio elevator. Since the system has
been in operation there have been no
accidents, and no serious stoppages of
trains.
I This system interferes with all other
kinds of traffic less than any other, and
is infinitely less costly when compared
with the accommodate ton afforded and
the difficulties overcome. Its construc-
ton can be carried on without the
I slightest surface disturbance, as it is
ssalear Of water, gas, electricity and sew
Eerage service, 2slDbcellars and founda-
tions Of buildings, and whatever it re-
moves is replaced by something of
greater tensile and bearing strength.
1t has the advantage of disturbing no
existing rights; it has neither right of
way nor damage compensate tons to pay
for 1t has proved a success from both
financial and an engineering point of
view, and Londoners are convinced
that they have the simplest and best
system Of rapid transit in the world

A Kiss on the Tandem.

Zone of the greatest problems in
bicycling,'' said a giddy bicyclist, 'is
how to kiss a girl while riding a tan
dem without upsetting. The first time
I tried it there was the blankest catas-
trophe on record. We were spinning
along at a scorching rate and struck
q shady place, where the electric light
was obstructed by the dense foliage
and the shadows lay heavy and SOM
ber. I had made sufficient progress
with the damsel whom I had honored
with the front seat to venture upon q
delicate caress, and as we struck the
shadows I leaned forward, throwing
my weight upon the handles and CIV
ing my neck the necessary curve. She
was naturally somewhat startled and
lodged, giving the wheel a wrench
that was fatal. In a moment we were
sprawling on the boulevard, and when
l gathered up her remains and my bat
tered self she was the picture of an
intensely rate damsel. What she said
to me was plenty. Only a man who
can ride a bucking broncho in a cy-
clone ought to tackle such a feat

Many more weeks followed before
the doctors pronounced old Samuel as
Well as he would ever be. Many more
weeks followed before Adah's cure

when a ship sailed out of a small, sun

SWhite-haired man who looked lille a

love and tender care for the old man.
"a gentle-faced woman was in the back
ground. They were sailing to the East.
The wealth of the wooden box was
theirs to command. A mutual love
(which knew no concealments and
dreaded no disclosures was theirs to

depths, and with a throb Of pain for
revelation she knew had come at last,
the woman clasped her charge more
tenderly, and leaned with her against
one Of the piles Of broken furniture
which strtched along the whole block.
She did not speak, she only bent down
over the girls fair face and kissed her
long and lovingly.
''Speak and tell me what it means.
Who are these dirty, wretched people?
and who was that horried, wild<look-
ing man who brought me down the
stairs? It could-O Miriam, it could
not have been my"
"The word "father" struggled on he1
tongue and died on her sweet lips.
A harsh voice sounded in her ear,
and a mocking laugh rang shrilly out,
above the walls of women, the cries of
frightened children, the roaring OF
flames. A withered crone, half
ing down at Adah.
:sneered, "but here's sight worth
having the fire for! So this is Rachels
girl, that none of us have seen or heard
about since Rachel died. And now,
here's the badly down on the Seventh
street pavement, burned out like the
rest Of us. It's fine child, indeed,
that can't recognize it's own father.
She don't even know his shop when she
sees it. Maybe nobody's ever told her
that he sells old clothes.''
A movement in the surging human
mass that stretched along the street
bore the old woman on with it, her
mocking laugh still sounding out
shrilly.
Five minutes from the time he left
them on the pavement the old man
was staggering out again from the
midst Of blazing, falling timbers.

breast, and pushed him from her with
all her feeble strength. .
s@Go away" she cried. 'Go away
forever! I hate you! I hate and de-
'spise you! All my life you have lied to
me-. You have made me believe in lies.
I would rather have died back there
in the fire than know what know to-
day." And again she pushed against
him with her little hands.
The thrust Of her hands against his
breast was light. The thrust of her
words upon his heart was heavy
heavy. He staggered back, he
stumbled, he fell; just where, with a
fearful crash, there fell at the same in
slant the doorposts and Intel Of the
dingy shop, in which through weary
years he had toiled and boarded for
the sake Of his little lass.

The Bicycle Match Gun.

All the world now rides bicycle,
and there are few who have not tried
to light their wheel lamp on windy
night. Those who have will be crate
full for the little match gun which has
been designed to facilitate that usually
exasperating performance. It is.
worked on the same principle as an
indelible pencil. After placing a par,
lor match in a slot, all the rider who.
wishes to light the lamp has to do is
to poke the lighter into the small hole
at the side of the lamp, and then press
the end or trigger Of the gun. The
head Of the match is thus pushed be-
tween two rough jaws at the muzzle.
and the lamp Is lighted.

AS he listened, it all came back to
him-al the memory of his lifetime.
He could see that one short year of
bliss with Rachel, he could see those
other years when he had toiled for Ra-
chefs child. He remembered his gold
en- dream of happiness; he wondered,
vaguely who was keeping the wooden
box where the price of his happiness
lay. He thought of the fire and of
his fight with the flames; he thought
of his Adah out on Seventh street.
And then, he felt again the thrust of
two light hands upon his breastofd-1
two light hands against his breast,
and the thrust of heavy words against
his heart.
The doctors, making their afternoon
rounds, found him free from fever and
rational. They spoke CHEEKY words of
encouragement and left him to the
nurses. He lay quite still and pa
tient. He asked no questions of any
one. He remembered nothing that had
followed the thrust of those two white
hands. He did not know that the fall
ing door Of his own shop had nearly
crushed out his life; he did not know
he had lain many weeks in the hospi-
tai. Something about him felt like d
weight. He did not know that his
whole right side was paralyzed, and
that, although a partial recovery was
now assured to him, he would never
walk again. He did not know that
while he had been unconscious or raw
ing in wild delirium the critical opera
tion he had been dreading for his child
had been performed successfully that
tended by her faithful nurse, the sur
geon's instruments had done their fam.
GUS work, and now, in that very hos
pital, his Adah was fast learning to
walk. He knew none of these things,
and he asked no questions. It seemed
to him that nothing worth knowing
about could follow the thrust of those
little white hands.
The singing in the corridor had
ceased. He lay quite still and watched
the glints of September sunlight as
they glanced in through the Shaded
window.
Something brighter than the sun.

~.

It was many weeks later when, oylt
of Inconsistencies and out of delirium,
he came back once more to life and
reason. He was lying on a snowy cot,
in a ward of the Garfield hospital. 1t
was a September Sabbath afternoon.
The long room was cool and dim and
quiet. Outside, in the corridor, some
young girls from a downtown church
were softly singing sweet old Gospel
hymns. Each Sabbath afternoon they
came up to the hospital to sing in. the
corridors to the patients; and many an
aching head was soothed, and many a
restless sufferer grew quiet, as the
sweet young voices fioated in with the
sweet old words Of the hymns.
The man lay still and listened. They
were singing something with the re-
frain:

every fifth part being marked with It's
appropriate figure. This, again, does
away with a source Of ambiguity in.
the present system. People are ac-
customed to say "a quarter Of" and "a
quarter after," or twenty five minutes:
Of" and so forth, all of which express
sions have. a greater or less tendency
to cause mistakes. By the new dial
there can be no errors. Take, for in
stance, the position Of the hands as,
represented in the diagram. They
mean a certain time, and no other time.
The small, or hour hand, is between
five and six, and as this hour hand
represents the sun, we see that it is:
sinking toward the horizon. In other
words, it is between and o'clock in
the evening. The precise time is:
known when we look at the long, or.
minute hand. This is pointing directly
at ffty-fve. The time, is, therefore,
five hours and fifty-five minutes in the
evening, or 500, as railroad men say
According to the common method of
telling time you would say that the.
diagram shows five minutes of 6 o'clock
p. m.
Another Improvement connected with
the day and night clock dial is an in
vention to simplify the reading Of time
tables by incasing the figures that
indicate the arrival and departure of
the night trains in heavy black. Every
body who has had occasion to travel
has suffered the tortures of the time
table. Most women are absolutely un-
able to fathOm the mysteries of a train
schedule. The trouble is mainly be-
cause of the little "a. Ms and "P-
MS that are constantly springing up
in the most unexpected places and in
the most distressing manner. The new
arrangement does away with the diff
fculty.

Almost like a mad man he cleared
the space between hin, aud the door
way. Close followed by the nurse he
rushed out to the crowded street. And
there, OH the dirty Seventh street pave
ment, from which all her life she had
been shut away, his little lass was left
by him. Amid all the out-turned filth
and wretchedness of the tenements, in
the monday shine of an August sun,
with deafening noise and dire con-
fusion everywhere about her, old Sam
uel left his little lass, while he-for her
sake-went back again into the blaz-
ing, burning building. Needless of
warning shouts, fiercely beating off re-
straining hands, he hurried >on-and in.

SOME QUESTIONS.
An Editor Who Thought it Better to Give
Interrogatories Than to Receive Them.

An Editor Who Thought 1t Better to Give
InterrogatOries Than to Receive Them.
Owosso sDe pot, Mich, October IL
After nights res, VIM. J. Bryan awoke
this morning refreshed and in good con-
dition TO continue his rec0rd-breaking
trip through Michigan. He said he was
completely rested and in order to prove
his statement started In with his speech
making az eight o'clock at St. Johns.
His voice was in good condition and as
ne expressed it. he was ready to DO
another days work such as yesterday
and throw in half a dozen more ad-
dresses for good measure.
Al Lansing last night, before the car
in which Mr.. Bryan rode, got out OF the
City. six speeches had been made by the
nJminee. The newspaper correspond
ents could not keep track Of him in the
great crowd and not until he had at least
got in the special car as it pulled out Of
the station, was it known by them how
many speeches he had made.
Shortly after Mr.. Bryan had returned
from the platform and Justin R. Whiting
was speaking, the speakers stand went
down with fifty people on 1t, falling about
six feet. Yesterday, at Albion. the plat
form from which the candidate was ad-
dressing the audience collapsed. For
tunately no one was injured at either
plaCe. and the result was that this morn
ing John w. TOmlinson wired the ma
tional committee 10 urge the local COM
mittee to use more care in the building
of the speakers stands. The first stop
this morning was at St. Johns. where
for twenty-five minutes he spoke TO a
large crowd of enthusiastic admirers.
Al Ovid a three minute talk was made
from the car platform, and the few peo-
ple gather cheered the nominee repeated
ly. ,ou.
At Owosso Mr.. Bryan spoke TO large
audience from a stand few blocks away
from the station He had received copy
or "a paper published there in which GER
