Forgave Him on the Spot.

Another story Of the late Eugene
Fields irrepressible love Of joking
comes from the youths Companion"
He and his wife had entered street
car, to find all the seats taken save
one at each end Of the car, and they
seated themselves accordingly.
When the conductor collected the
fares Mr.. Field announced in audi
BILE tones, as he gave him dime, at
the same time pointing to the far end
Of the car: THAT is to pay the fare
of the lady over there-the one wear
ing the new beautiful brown silk
Dress"
All eyes were turned to her, and her
pretty face took most becoming rose
color, but back of the reproying
glances she threw him was one Of
mingled indulgence, appreciation and
mirth at the unexpected and appar-
emily truthful announcement.

Not Down on the Programme.

The audience at the Park theater
was treated to a laughable incident at
a recent performance. A fautlessly
dressed young man, who is a railroad
telegraph operator, entered with a
young lady on his arm and took seats
in the first row of the balcony. An
acquaintance, who is also an operator,
was in the audience, and, seeing that
the young lady who was with his
friend was-not his "steady company"
tried his best to attract their atten-
ton. He failed until happy thought
struck him.
With lead pencil and a penknife
he got very good ''sounder," with
which he called his friends office. At
the very first call the other fellow
started, then glanced down and de
tected the originator Of the call. He
saw that he was caught, and to make
the best Of it took out his own pencil
and knife, and the first message click
ed off was, "Keep your mouth shut"
Some one in the audience who under
stood telegraphy gave the snap away,
and until the curtain went up the two
operators were the center Of every
ones gaze.-PhiGaaeLbhia RetOrG

Improving Iron Trade,
Conditions Favorable 10 a Better Business
Next Year.

The return of confidence in general
trade conditions has made its inhu-
ence felt in the iron business, and the
outlook is considerably brighter.
The Milton furnace at Milton,
which has been idle for several years,
was recently put in blast, giving en-
ployment to about 100 men.
Soho furnace, of the Union Trust
Company, receivers for the Pittsburg
Steel and Iron Company at Pittsburg,
Pa, is being thoroughly overhauled
and rebuilt, and is said to be in first
class condition.
Haselton furnace, of the Andrews
Bros. Company at Hasleton, o., which
has been out of blast since last June,
was put in operation recently.
The repairing Of the blast furnace
of the Youngstown Steel Company is
progressing rapidly and will soon be
ready for operation.
The plant of the Spang Steel and
Iron Company, at Etna, Pa, is still
working steady in all departments
The Keystone Rolling Mill at Pitts
burg, Pa, is working steadily in all
departments.
The pudding department of the
Benwood works of the Wheeling Steel
and Iron Company at Wheeling, w.
Va, is working full.
The plant of the Newport Rolling
Mill Company, at Newport, KY, is
running as usual IN all departments.
The tinplate plant of the Pennsyl-
vania Tinplate Company, at New
Kensington, Pa, is in full operation.
We only hope this good news will
keep coming till the whole country
will be busy, everyone have plenty Of
money, and all be happy.

Ono WAY of Putting II.

The Southern Bivouac quotes a story
of a negro, John Williams, who, filed
with zeal for his masters cause, ac-
companied n Georgia regiment to the
army of General Floyd The cam
paign was unsuccessful, and John, be-
coming homesick, was allowed to de-
part. Before starting he went to say
good-by to the general. $50 you are
going to leave us, John?" said Cen
eral Floyd. "Yes, Marse Floyd. 1t
pears like can do no more good at
home now dan bein' here; so 1
thought I'd go home and courage up
our people to hold on"
That's right, John. But are you
going to tell 'em you left us running
from the Yankees?" "No, sir-no,
Marse Floyd, dat / amt. You may
pend on my not tellin' nothin' to
'moralize dem people" But how will
you get around telling them, John?"
Easy 'nough, Marse Floyd. 1t won't
do to 'moralize dem people. I'm goin'
to tell 'em dat when | lef' de army it
was in frs rate sperrits, an dat, OWN
to de situation oh de country an de
way de Ian lay, we was advancin'
backward an de Yankees was re-
treatin' for'ard."

Boy Frightens Policemen,

A small boy got into the habit of
flying his kite nightly from the roof of
a police station in WilkesB Barre un-
known to the guardians of the peace.
They heard his footsteps, but, strange
to say, when they went to investigate
they never found anyone. Then ter
roi took possession of the police force
at the station, and they declared that
a ghost was haunting them, At
length one, braver than the others, lay
in wait and captured the little fellow.
He was then hauled before a magis-
trate, who, after hearing the case, dis.
charged hun with a reprimand to the
effect that it was very wrong to fright
en- policemen.

Fast German Express Trains.

Germanys railways, which are
owned by the government, are more
progressive than the average Amerl-
can traveller abroad finds reason to
suppose. one German express train
covers SS1 miles in twenty-five and Il
half hours, II mean speed, including
stops, of 39,l miles an hour, which is
comparable with some of the best
American long-distance express runs.
An express running between Berlin
and Hamburg covers 176h miles in
three hours and thi.ty-slX minutes, q
mean speed Of 49.l miles an hour.

WRETCHED VANITY.
Frequently Met with and as often to
DputOrcd.

Frequently Met with and as Often to be
Depiorcd.
Twenty years ago poor woman WIS
left widow in the city of Ncw York
with two children. She was honest,
energetic and an expert laundrcss. She
succeeded in keeping comfortable
home for her children and in educat-
ing them. Her ambition was not that
they should be honest, energetic work
ing people, but "lady and gentle
man."
Emma, the daughter, was sent to u
private school, taught superficial ac-
complishments, and to play on the
piano and to dance. She made her
way, through some of her school ac.
quaintances into families who would
not have recognized the poor washer
woman, and wore gaudy clothes and
cheap jewelry which her mother
slaved to buy for her. She married a
salesman in n retail shop, a man weak
In body and mind. His sCanty salary
she wasted on hnery for herself and
her children, and when he lost his
situation n year ago she came back
with them to the mother whom she
had so long declared was too "vul-
gar" to acknowledge before the world.
Tom, her brother, was a kcen-witted
young fellow, whose only ambition
was to be swell" He had place as
sa1a L. al. nSN
but lost it at the beginning of the hard
times two years ago, and remained
idle, dependent on his mother When
her employer offered to give him a
situation as n messenger of porter,
he haughtily refused It, as he had
not come into the world to do me-
NAL work"
Last spring the old washerwoman,
worn out at last, fell i'll, and Tom
found himself starving. He picked a
woman's pocket on ferryboat, was
caught in the act, tried and sentenced
to six months Imprisonment. His de-
fence was that he was starving.
"You could have sold the expensive
clothes you wear, or that scarf pin"
said his lawyer.
mo, SIR" Tom replied; 81 may be
unfortunate, but l shall always dress
and behave like gentleman that l
am"
There Is a sad, II not n shameful fu-
ture for the boy or girl who has never
learned at home that humble indie
pendence is better than polite shift
lessness.

The Flight of Geese.

Wild geese conduct their migration
in an extremely methodical fashion.
The birds form themselves into lines
shaped like an oldfashioned drag or
harrow. Sometimes there are two
rows, one behind the other There are
always distinct leaders, but these very
soon tire, and, by careful watching
with Il glass, one may see the leaders
drop back and others take their places.
1t has been suggested that this ar
rangement is on the principle of Il
ticket office window, and that all Of
the ganders successfully take the
leadership. When weary, they fall
back to the rear and others come up.
If the flock is scattered by shot or
accident they Immediately form again.

that either man will accept"
A great many people are asking
what Senator Butler did in the recent
campaign to give him the enormous
head he is exhibiting these days. He
has developed a mania for keeping
himself before the public by talking
to newspaper reporters" who, OF
course, print it. They always enjoy
seeing public man make a monkey
of himself.
