changed into the same image from

Stories of Eugene Field.

A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played on
two car loads of Kansas City mer-
chants, who went away one time on an
excursion. Each car was to go by a'dif-
ferent route, and the cars separated at
an early hour in the morning when ev-
erybody was asleep except Gene Field,
who was along to write up the trip,
Just before the cars parted company
he carried all the shoes from one sleep
er into the other and carefully eX-
changed them. Then he took the shoes
from the sleeper that had double sup
ply and carried them into tho sleeper
where nobody had any shoes. The next
morning there was blue sCreak two
ways across Kansas. Every man in
both sleepers was miles away from his
own shoes.
When Clara Louise Kellogg was in the
zenith of her fame Eugene Field ac-
complished feat which was attained
by no other st. Louis reporter, in that
he gained 1T once her friendship and an
interview. Miss Kell0gg's mother ac-
companied her on her tours, and relig.
iously warded off newspaper men. One
day Field called at the Lindell Hotel
and sent up his card. Miss kellogg S
mother entered the parlor and Informed
the nonchalant young man that her
daughter could not be seen. Field re.
piled that he had not called as a news
paper man, but as an amateur actor.
Seating himself at the piano, he sang
two or three ballads, and so charmed
the old lady that she summoned her
daughter, and the two spent the after
noon together in music. Ever after
that Miss kellogg never visited st.
Louis without receiving q call from
Eugene Field.

What Victoria Gould Do.

AS matter Of fact, says London Tit.
Bits, our sovereigns have rarely taken
any active part in politics since George
Ills time, but they could still do some
very astonishing things If they chose.
The queen could dismiss every Tommy
Atkins in our army, from the command,
er-in-chief to the youngest drummer
boy. She could disband tho navy In
the same way, and sell all our ships,
stores and arsenals to tho first custo.
mer that came along. Acting entirely
on her own responsibility, she could
declare war against any foreign coun.
try, or make present to any foreign
power Of any part Of the empire. She
could make every man, woman and
child in the country a peer of the
realm, with the right, in the case Of
males who are Of age, to q seat III the
house of lords. With single word
she could dismiss any government that
happened to be in power and could, II
is believed, pardon and liberate all tho
criminals in our jails. These are q
few OF the things the queen could do II

got interested in 1t, and formed the
keely company. This was in 1874.
Keely spent a good deal of the com
pany's money making machines. When
six years went by and the motor didn't
mote, they grew impatient and, even
though Keely took them to his work
shop and showed them curious things
they couldn't explain (and some of
them We're scientists, too,) they began
to hint that the thing might be a fake
But still Keely wouldn't tell the great
secret. Every once in while there
has been an announcement of the per-
fect:on of the machinery of the Keely
motor and then the stock OF the concern
has gone kitlng up into the clouds 9th
er times, after a long period of fruit
lessness, the shares have gone down.
They have fiuctuated all the way from
10 cents to 1000 cents on the dollar.
Fortunes have been made on them
and other fortunes have been lost. In
the times when the excitement over
the Keely motor was at its height men
fought for the chance to buy stock at
200 per cent. In other times they have
fought for the chance to sell it at so
per cent.
But what is the Keely motor? The
force" which he says he has discov-
cred and which he thinks will revolu-
tionize the world to an extent far
greater than steam or electricity, he
calls "etheric vapor." This vapor is
present everywhere, penetrating the
atmosphere and solid bodies as we'll
just as electricity is everywhere pres
ent By causing the molecules of air
to vlbrate rapidly by meaus of ma
chine which he calls his generator"
