A Baltimore lawyer came near paying
$40 for a ride in street car few days
ago. With his wife he got on one of the
City and Suburban cars. Before the con-
ductor called for the fares the lawyers
wife handed to her husband a coupon clip
ped from Virginia Midland railroad bond
and valued at $40. This was printed in red
irz and looked like the car tickets used
g.! the City and Suburban road, except
at it was somewh4t larger. Tho lawyer
slipped the coupon in his pocket and for
got all about it.
When the conductor called on the law
yer for fares, he took two tickets from his
pocket and gave them up. just before he
reached the corner where he was to leave
the car he noticed that tho conductor was
counting his tickets preparatory to punch
ing them. One ticket appeared to bo a
little longer than the others, and the law
yer idly watched the conductor until that
particular ticket was reached. AS the con-
duGtor was about to punch hole in it the
lawyer realized that it was his wife's cou-
pon and, with yell that startled the 9TH
er passengers, jumped from his seat and
grabbed the hand of the conductor before
the little punch could get in its work.
Explanations were made and the oou-
pom was exchanged for Car ticket, with
its value unimpaired. Baltimore Sun.

ByzantiuIn.

Byzantium, to use that which has been
the ordinary name with all Greek writers
from Herodotus down to Paspates in our
own day, Is one of the Oldest cities of Eu-
rope-historically speaking, If we neglect
mere prehistoric legend, little younger
than Athens or Rome. Like them, Byzan-
tium appears to have been founded on a
prehistoric fort. Hardly any of the ancient
towns of Italy and southern Europe can
show SO authentic and venerable Il record.
There is no reason to doubt that Byzan-
tium has been a historic city for some
3, $50 years. During the whole of that pc
riod, with no real break in her life, it has
been the scene of events recorded in the
annals of mankind; it has been fought for
and held by men famous IN world history;
it has played substantial part in the
drama of civilization. So singular Sc
quence Of historic interest can hardly be
claimed for any city in Europe, except for
Rome herself.
For nearly 1000 years before it became
the capital of an empire Byzantium was
Greek city Of much Importance, the prize
of contending nations and, with striking
presoience even then, chosen by phil
osophic historians for its commanding po-
sitlon and Immense capabilities. After the
lapse of nearly /, 1000 years Byzantium be-
came Constantinople, the center of the
Roman empire. Since then it has boon the
capital city of an empire for exactly 1854
years, and that in a manner and for q pg-
riod such as no other imperial city has
been in the annals Of civilized man. There
| is no actual break, although, for the dy-
nasty of the PalRologi, from the Latin
empire down to the capture of the Otto
mans, the empire outside the capital has
shrunken and almost phantom dominion.
But it is yet true that for l, 564 years Con-
stantinople has ever been, and still Is, the
sole regular residence Of emperors and sui
tans, the sole and continuous center Of
civil and military administration, the su-
preme court of law and justice and the Of
fetal center of the imperial eligion.-Fort-
nightly Review.

DAFTY KATE.

On Seven Mile Beach, Cape May,
stands rough looking house built
among the sand dunes in such a way
that only its roof and small portions of
its walls are visible.
tt is made up Of wreckage that has
been picked up on the shore, with here
and there stick of lumber that looks
as il it might have come fresh from the
sawmill The structure has the appear
ance Of huge ships cabin. Outside the
door stands bench, well worn by fish
ermen, who have for more than dozen
years looked after the welfare of the oc-
cupant of this modest dwelling, who
goes by the name Of Dafty Kate.
Dafty Kate is a womans about 30
years cid, tall, strong and healthy. For
IS years she has lived in the house on
the beach, and many times has she
helped the fishermen row through the
breakers to some foundered vessel and
save the crew. She is rational enough
on most subjects, but she is constant
watcher of the sea, and whenever per-
son comes to her door the first thing she
says is:
"Willie is coming in tonight. The
Firelight is due here little past s
O'Clock.
Every night for Is years Dafty Kate
has set on stand built for the pur-
pose in front Of the door Of her hut q
lantern, which she says will guide Will
lie safely in if the freight should hap
pen to sail in while she is asleep.
The woman's story is an extremely
interesting and pathetic one. Fifteen
years ago she was called the belle of
Cape May. She was the daughter of a
prosperous dealer in oysters, who owned
a number Of sloops and was considered
rich.
Kate's parents were very proud Of her.
She was an only child, and they in-
dulged her in everything that would add
to her pleasure. There were two suitors
for her hand. One was thrifty young
merchant in a small town near Cape
May, the other was the son Of an old sea
captain whose days Of activity were
over and who lived quiet life with his
only son and daughter. A strong at
tachment sprung up between Kate and
the fisherman's daughter, and when the
fisherman IS son came home from voy-
age to the western islands he promptly
fell in love with Kate.
| Kate's parents were ambitious for her
to marry money, and they insisted that
she should give the fisherman's son a
cold shoulder and encourage the young
merchant, but the girl refused to do SO.
The name of the man to whom Kate
had given her heart was William King,
and when he sailed away one day on a
trip as mate Of the brigantine Sea Foam

RIDGEVILLE CORNERS.

RIDGEvILLE Cor, May 18th.
In our itemizing two weeks ago we
mentioned incidentally that some of
our citizens visited the banks of the
Maumee on 'piscatorial expedition.
We now learn that we have trespass-
ed on the good name of the parties
involved, as the terms used are said
to be used now in bad sense, and
furthermore that they were not on a
fishing excursion at all. Our mistake e
grew out of our ignorance of the lit
erature of the slulns and bawdy
houses, which ignorance we desire to
keep up. We cheerfully acknowledge
our sin and make amends, testifying
at the same time to the good name of
all the parties involved.
