TWO MEETINGS WITH MILES.
One In Pasadena, Cal. and the Other In
Los Angeles.

zone night in the office of the Hotel
Raymond in Pasadena, Cal" said
traveller, II met General Nelson A.
Miles. was introduced to him by Ma
ior Ben G. Truman. The office was
big apartment with great fireplace on
bne side Of 1t. There were large rocking
rhairs scattered about for the comfort of
guests who chose to sit there, and il
was room to which ladies did not hes
itate to come If they had occasion to
visit 1t.
"On this night there was fire in the
great fireplace, perhaps MS much for
cheerfulness' sake as anything else, and
the big room was decidedly pleasant
place. General Miles, Major Truman
and myself sat there until 1 1 o'clock.
The general talked freely and most in
terestingly, and to me it was most
enjoyable evening l had always had
the heartiest admiration for General
Miles-I had been soldier myself
and thought should always reihem-
ber that evening with qualification.
'The next morning, while going out
Of the Hotel Nadeau in Los Angeles, /
met gentleman who said Good morn
ing. stopped and talked, but l could
not possibly recall him. Presently he
said:
"'You don't remember me.
II said did not.
"'My name is Miles, he said.
"Well, wished that the Hotel Ma
deau had been getting in coal and that
there had been convenient coal hole
open for me to slide into, but there
wasn't, and did the best could under
the circumstances, which guess was
poor enough, but the general was per-
fectly good humored about it, for which
was profoundly thankful.
'Seeing the general in different
light, or amid totally different surround
ings and when had least expected to
meet him, coupled perhaps with some
degree of natural absentmindness ON my
part, had brought this discontinue upon
me, and chagrin over this second en-
counter with General Miles has always
materially lessened my enjoyment of
the first. New York Sun.

Leonardo da Vinci, being a great
architect and engineer, as well as painter
and sculptor, left notebooks proving
that he had studied the flight of birds
and had planned flying machines to be
driven by wings or by screw propellers
But as Leonardo was good at figures he
seems to have abandoned his plans after
finding out how much force would be
needed. Tudor jerks in st. Nicholas.

A certain thrifty Philadelphia house

was that she canned the peaches when
they were green and only partially cook

II is notorious that in the progress OF
her smaller cities Pennsylvania Is far
behind her sister commonwealths, notably
those of the west. They have found no
difficulty In going forward with public
improvements, while the cities or Penn
sylvania 'harts been hampered by compli-
Gated laws. difficult of Interpretation. and
by adverse decisions of the courts. In
most other states laws have been so
framed as to, give liberal latitude to pro-
gressive people in municipalities. Here
they have been framed upon the idea that
municipalities were skittish, naughty
children who needed to be restrained and
that it was unsafe to allow them any lati-
tude Of action whatever The result Is
seen in the unfavorable comparisons
which can be made between them and the
cities Of neighboring states. Let the mus
nicipal convention frame a proper law re-
moving the trammels which now impede
the cities and wonderful change for the
better will be brought about
