to the writer's query, ito take my old
place there with the firm of Harmon, Col

the senior partner"
Secretaries Carlisle and Herbert de-
clared the future to be q sealed book to
them, so fur as present intentions are
concerned. Secretary Carlisle preferred
to fence my questions regarding his future
movements. Rumor has it that he will
practice law in New York, Cincinnati and
half a dozen other places. As not wen
an eS-Secretary of the Treasury can be in
more than one city at once, one rumor is
as good us another. The fact is, say the
Washingtonians, that Mr.. Carlisle has yet
hopes of staying in Washington, and, IL
his ambitious wife can manage it, he will.
Private Secretary Thurber talked freely
concerning the plans of the present incum-
bent, and incidentally knocked in the head
n variety of rumors with regard to Mr..
Cleveland's intentions when he says good
by to the White House.
"The President" said Mr.. Thurber,
with Mrs. Cleveland and the children,
will go direct from Washington to his new
home at Princeton, n. j. He intends to
stay there only a short time, but hopes he
will be allowed during that time to enjoy
the welcome change from the hustle of
official life to the quiet of u private resi-
dence. Buzzard's Bay has too firm a hold
on the affections of both the President and
Mrs. Cleveland for Princeton to charm
them long. They will go to Gray Gables
after n short stay Mt Princeton. and Mr..
Cleveland expects to remain there for

some time. He is in robust health, but
has made no plans for going into active
business life after March 4. He will take
a prolonged rest before considering the
question of getting into business again"
Vice-President Stevenson regrets very
much that rumors of his vast wealth and
growing estates are founded on nothing
more substantial than shifting sand.
II see they have me booked for Califor-
nia." said Mr.. Stevenson. when asked
regarding his future intentions. ''There
/ am to assume the management of big
olive groves that l have purchased pre-
sumably with the money l have put by
during my term in Washington. l wish
the kind friends who have credited me
with possessing these olive and lemon
treasures We're correctly informed, but it
isn't true. l regret to say. l have my
home at Bloomington. ILL.,. and there l in,

unpleasant features to Secretary of War
Lamont. He will cut loose from the mar
tial environments of the war office and
go to New York by the first train he can
catch on the 9th of March. Secretary
Morton will seek to forget the cares of
office among the Acknowledged natives of
the orient. The prospect is evidently an
alluring n to the Secretary of Agri-
culture. for he talked enthusiastically
about his plans to the writer.
II shall so from here to Chicago he
said. II have three IONS in business
there. and l intend to stay and visit them
for awhile. Then l shall go to my place
in Nebraska City-Arbor Lodge. 1 have
lived in that neighborhood nearly all my

City home for Il little while. When l do

Morton, who is vice-president of the At

CONDUCTOR HAS HIS REVENGE.
How a Street Car Employe Didn's Get
Ahead of n Passenger.

How a Street Car Employe Didn't Get
Ahead of "A Passenger.
A conductor OF: the Lindell Railway
line, st. Louis, Mo-. whose name is said
to be Davis. played a shrewd trick on
an individual who, during the past
three months. has caused the conduc-
tors on this line no end of annoyance.
This individual made it q practice to
board nj of the Lindcll cars at q GER
tain point in the west end, and, when
approached for his fare by the conduc-
tor. flash a $40 bill on him, apologizing
for Offering such n large bill by saying
he was in a hurry and had not time to
get change. In nearly every instance he
was permitted to ride free. the conduc-
tor preferring to pass him free to rob.
bling himself of his small change.
In time the conductors on this line gor
to know the slick individual, and, after
comparing notes, they prepared u
scheme to forever Ire the man Of his
propensity to carry large bills on street
caN. They dubbed together and Sc
cured $685. worth of pennies, which
they placed in q canvas bag. This was
given to Davis, who was instructed to
look out for the obnoxious individual on
his run. Davis carried the bag full Of
pennies under one of the seats in his car
for two weeks. Finally the fellow
boarded Davis car at Vandeventer ave-
nue.. When Davis went to collect his
fare the fellow handed him the $40 bill.
which had secured for him so many
rides in the past. 1t would never secure
him another.
In the most u%neoncerned manner
Imaginable. Davis asked the man if he
n nothing smaller. The man said no.
Without the semblance of n smile on his
c~Ountenance the conductor reached I'M
der one of the seats of the car, brought:
forth the bag of pennies, and without a
word handed it ver to the man. Then.
he went out onto the back platform and
nearly cracked his face open laughing
ut the shrewd manner in which the
foxy" passenger had been outwitted.
The passenger counted out the $9.95
In pennies without a word, placed the
bag In his overcoat pocket. shifted M
easily i'll his seat for IL few minutes,
Went out on the platform, placed the
wrong end of n cigar in his mouth and
attempted to light it, spat nervously u
few times and then jumped off the car.
When Conductor Davis turned in at
the end of his run he had u pain in his
side from laughing. All his brother CON
ductors were waiting to hear from him,
and when he turned over the famous
bill to the cashier n roar Of laughter
went up from the assembled conductors
that could be heard down at the bridge.
The $40 bill was a counterfeit.

Value of Eyidence.

A few years ago an English traveller
In Turkey reported a case of stealing as
1t vas tried in the courts of that coun-
try. The Armenian newspapers of that
time. commenting upon the case, said
that 1t proved that the testimony of a
calf was worth more than that of two
Christians.
a Turk, coveting Il COW belonging to
a Christian. succeeded in stealing it.
The owner complained of the theft to
the nearest Judge. bringing a friend to
corroborate his story, and lie demand
ed the restoration of his property. The
Judge declined to believe either the in
jured man or his friend.
On this the injured man said, II have
the calf of this COW ut Il place very near
the court. and il your Honor will have
the cow brought to the calf and will OBJ
serve the two together. he will imme-
diately perceive by their affection for
each other that the COW must be the
mother of the calf. and this will prove
that she belongs to me-"
Accordingly. the Judge ordered the
COW to be brought to the calf, and went
himself to see the two. No sooner had
the calf set eyes on the COW than it
claimed her as mother. The Judge was
convinced, and ordered the cow to be
given up to the Christian.
