LITERAL OBEDIENCE.

From the Chic ago Record.
Sometimes obedience has its faults
There is Chicago boy who has reached
that age when he feels that the whole wide
world Is looking at him whenever he comes
out into the public. He would rather starve
to death very slowly. than to eat his dinner
in restaurant, for strange people might
see him at his repast and that would be a
horrible thing. He is bashful and backward
and wishes he could sink into the earth and
SO avoid the responsibility of being seen,
felt or heard by other and older persons
This is an age which comes to all males
OF the human species. '7-S
This boys uncle knew OLA cure for that
sort OF thing, and he recommended the
youngster for position in q railroad office
and arranged for an interview between the
Junior klnsman and the employing official
In the headquarters. The boy heard with
horror that he was to go all alone into the
presence Of this man and fear ingulfei him
and claimed him as its own He was earn
estly anxious for employment but the in
fanny OF presenting himself before a strange
business man and talking to him was al
most too much. He pleaded sadly that he
did not know what to say

A Hundred Miles an Hour.

TrUln tNe F1ttsburg Dispatch.
An electrical engineer has been exhibiting
in London the model of his proposed single
rail electric line for speeds of $50 miles an
hour. The rail is fixed on aHV-shaped tres
tie. and runs up into the body Of the car,
which. as it were. runs astride of it. The
car runs on twelve bearing wheels. and
seats 135 passengers, with space for their
baggage. One of the difficulties met with
in schemes for excessively high speed
travel is the tendency of the car to run
off the track By running the rail within
the car the lateral tendency of the train
Is overcome. But ia this late scheme the
great difficulty seems to be the passenger.

THOS. GATES FUNERAL.
Was Largely Attended in Los An

Los Angeles Express: The inter ment of Thomas Gates, who died in Arizona on the 18th, took place this morning and his remains now repose beside those of his wife at Evergreen cemetery. The burial services were conductd in the presence of old and loving frinds at the undertaking par lors of Robert Garrett on North Main street. There are few men who will be respected more than was Thomas Gates, who was essentially chival- rous and brave, honest and kind. He was for long time resident of Los Angeles and was noted as a man of strict integrity, exmeplary methods of business and charming personality His word was as good as his bond" Isaias w. Hellman used to say of him, and which was endorsed by all who knew him. For the past two years the wounds received while he defend d tn trust imposed upon him as cus- todian of desperate felons at the Yuma pen-tentiary and the everlasting and never changing love he bore his dead wife made an inroad upon his mind which probably led up to his untimely deceaSe.

WEYLER IS SURPRISED.
He Says the Attitude of the U. s. Con- gress Stops Development of War.

MADRID, March 19-In an inter view of General Weyler published here the captain general is quoted as ex- pressing surprise at the charges made against him in the United States, Gin view of his great prudence pending the settlement of the question of bel ligerency."
 General Weyler is also credited with having said the attitude of congress stops the normal development of the war. Continuing the interview stated that Weyler states that numbers of persons are joining the insurgents from all parts of Cuba and from the capital because they hope they will be recognized as belligerents.
 The Spanish soldiers, the captain general is said to have added, are fighting heroically and it is impossi- ble ito ask them to do more. In con- clusion Weyler is said to have related that he is confident of the eventual success of the Spanish cause, but contradictory demands of prudence and extreme measures combined with difficulties arising from a question of belligerency and elections" may con- pei him to resign

Thos. Flannigan Is responsible for the following joke told on Bennett: Ben nett's father had ordered sev- eral young trees from Cali fornia al few days ago and pending their arrival had a workman dig up the trees in his yard to be re- placed by new ones. The trees were dug up and laid on the ground. Young Bennett came home late on that after noon and seeing the trees on the ground supposed they were the lot re- ceived from California. He procured a shovel and set to work planting the trees. He worked industriously until g o'clock at night and was on the last tree when his father came home. "What are you doing, Tom?" asked pater. Well" answered Tom, "these trees have been lying in the sun all day and I thought I would plant them" The trees had to be dug up again, but Tom had lost heart for that kind of work.

DOG OF THE IRON MASK.
Although Only an AristOcratic Statue 1t
 Deceived the Street Mongrel.

Although Only an Aristocratic Statue 1t Deceived the Street Mongrcl. .
 A relative who lives in one of the one time fashionable mansions now be- come students boarding houses, in the south end, tells me a pretty good story of a dog, says reporter for the Boston Post. In the yard, where fountain was once known to play, but where now dust gathers, is an iron statue of dog. The iron dog watches and guards the old fountain, but he in. his turn has an admirer and adorer. The other day, hunting for another dog to go out and play tag with him, came young street mongrel. He was unaccustomed to the ways of aristocracy, and in his simple ignorance supposed that anything that looked like dog was dog.
 Up to the statue he bounded barking and wagging his tail. In stately i'm mobility the iron dog gazed on out into vacancy. This did not deceive the other. He had seen plenty of dogs as- sume just that naughty and abstracted manner when they did not care to fight. Wishing to show his iron friend that he appreciated his attitude, but assuring him of no evil intention, the dog from the street kept on barking and wagging his tail. He even ran around his friend a number of times to show that there was no ill-will-as is the manner of dogs. But the dog of the iron mask did not budge. My relative says that he is sure that even if the street dog had brought around cat to chase the iron dog would have remained unmoved. A red Irish setter came out finally and called the street dog away. The latter went with distinct traces of reluctance in his manner. He liked the style of that iron dog and had rather play in his yard with him.
