that her two good friends, the driver
and stoker of the express. could not
partake Of her birthday Viands and
drink her health in something neat and
strong, Then, a happy thought occur
ring to the generous hearted woman,
she turned to her husband with the
inquiry;
But canst thou not stop the express,
Matvei Stepanovitch?"
"Why, certainly, Dourhinka moya,"
replied the compliant husband, who
forthwith took from his locker a signal
netard and placed 1t on the metals,
while his wife in the meantime busted
herself with the preparation Of choice
food and drink for the coming engine
man.
A few minutes later the KursE eN-
press came laundering along through
the sleeping pine forest the petard
was exploded. and within 200 PAGES the
Westinghouse brake had brought the
train to a standstill. The detonation
of the petard and the sudden stoppage
Of the express had aroused and alarm
ed the slumhering passengers, who
crowded inquiringly to the doors and
windows of the carriages. The STAFF of
conductors had alighted and We're seek
ing an explanation from the driver
when the watchman and his wife, the
latter laden with her hospitable plat
ter. and, followed by the whole of the
birthday party, came trudginC along
breathlesSly toward the locomotive tc
rcgale the driver and stoker
When the chief guard discovered the
extraordinary purpose of the stoppage
the silence of the stilly night was brok-
en- by some strange language, and the
express was instantly sent on its way
Nlatvei Stepanovitch has now beer
dismissed from his post, but the in
| spector failed to convince him that
! he had been guilty of any serious ir'
regularity in stopping a night express
/ to give the driver and stoker a drink
| seeing that it was his wifes birthday.

THE sHAH,s DAYS WORK.

A vivid account Of the daily life of the
Shah Of Persia Is contributed to the IL
lustrated Magazine for April by Mr.. j.
T.. Fraser, who has just visited Teheran
in the course of his worlds tour on n BIZ
cycle.
How does the Shah spend an ordinary
day? Well he is a busy man. He rises
early, performs his devotions, has a piece
of thin, pasty Persian bread and a glass
Of swectencd tea. Then at about 3
O'Clock, he receives his ministers. He Is
slovenly in habit, and walks up and down
the room with his slippers flipnapping; In
deed, the story goes that the reason he
parted with his first wife was because
she constantly complained that he did
not wash himself
"He dictates dozens of letters, hears
dispatches read, cOnsults authorities, at
tends minutely to every detail of busi-
ness. This continues for six hours at a
stretch. Then he has his breakfast All
the food is carefully prepared, and a
prince Of the royal blood is responsible
that no tricks are played. The Shah, ac-
cordng to etiquette. eats alone. Between
| fifty and sixty dishes are served, but his
| majesty only touches two or three.
| Knives and forks are things unknown at
| court, and the Shah eats everything with
| his tingers-greascd rice, mutton, and
| fruit.
| During breakfast extracts from Euro
pcan papers, chiefly French, are read to
| the Shah. Following breakfast the Shah
! probably has an hours sleep, and then
after some glasses of tea. he will amuse
himself with working a little telegraph
| instrument, playing BACKGAMMON with
| his ministers-who are careful not to wiz
setting and resettng plants in the gar
! dens, or taking photographs. He has
| even been photographed i'm bed, and has
| pictures of himself dressed in uncomfort
able Prussan military attire, and ever
| i'm the garb of an English curate."

| after twenty men and boys had been
| beating, kicking, and cursins the poor
| brute for half an hour. The persua-
| sion she used was a couple of Jumps of
/ sugar and a few kind words.
But it was just yesterday that she
convinced me of her great superiority
! You can gauge her knowledge of dogs

WASHINGTON A CHURCHMAN.
General CommunGd Regularly Be
fore the War at the Revolution.

From the New York Times
Dr. Eliphalet Mott Potter, formerly
president of Hobart college. and now
president of the Cosmopolitan uniVer-
Sity. was the speaker of the evening
at the reception of the Drawing Room
club. held at the Waldorf Astoria last
night His subject was Washington
as Churchman and COMMUNICATE
Dr. Potter said. in part:
washington as he was, not Wash
ington painted 10y gushing favorites or
partisan prejudice, is the portrait
which should be passed on from the
twentieth century to coming ages.
While the materials are at hand, it
may be the privilege of any one of us,
with care. to add some true trait to
the needed lifelike likeness. If, ac-
Cording to the theologian, the baptized
man is Christian, such is George
Washington. the record of whose bap-
tsm is duly substantiated by sponsors
and witnesses. If to the pastor the
ideal Christian is one faithful as a
church officer, such is Washington, as
an indefatigable Vestryman, a designer
of a church building and a liberal sup
porter of the church.
IF TO the ever -watchful congrega-
llbU, prompt anu ItSuldl dlltIudllNt
upon divine worship attests the Chris
tian, such. then, was Washington. as
his rector emphatically declares in the
following words He was the most
punctual attendant at church I have
ever known. No company ever pre-
vented his coming, and his behavior
was so reverential as greatly to aid me
in my labors.'
During the war he not infrequently
rode ten or twelve miles to divine SER
vice. His diary further records that
on succeeding Sundays in Philadelphia
he went three times to the Episcopal
service, once to the Roman Catholic,
once to the Quaker and once to the
Presbyterian. Free from bigotry and
respecting the religious convictions of
others, he was careful to retain that
confidence Of the religious community
so essential for the success of the
patriot cause.
The English church. in which he
was brought up, became in it's Amerl.

SPECIAL OFFICER HENDERSON.
He Was a Member of Troop F., Sd Cavah


The visit of Troop T of the Third
Cavalry to Portland has been a great
pleasure to Special Officer John Hender-
son of this city, for he belonged to this
same troop for five years and saw a great
deal of active service with them, being
stationed part of the time in the west and
also south on the Rio Grande. Mr. Hen
derson left the army several years ago and
he is now connected with the police force
OF this city, being a Portland boy. Dur
ing the week he visited the camp of tie
troop near Rigby and was warmly re-
ceived by Captain Dodd and many of his
old comrades, who are still belonging to
the troop. Captain Dodd remarked to a
gentleman who inquired of him that Mr..
Henderson was one of his most efficient
men. But what seemed worth more to
Mr. Henderson than the welcome Of his
comrades was the fact that the horse he
used to ride instantly recognized him and
showed great pleasure at the presence of
his old master. Mr.. Henderson was wont
to carry Jumps of sugar in the pocket of
his coat and occasionally he would give
the horse sweet bit. The horse remem-
bered this perfectly, for he soon put his
nose down against the pocket, asking as
eloquently as he could for lump of su-
gar
