Guests From Why BACK.

The clerks at several of the hotels are
telling amusing stories about some of the
guests who have come in from the rural
districts to the fall festivities and fair
says the St. Louis Republic. An aged
couple came into the Afoser Tuesday night
and wanted a room. When informed that
there was none the woman turned to the
man and snapped out:
1T serves us right. We will have to
walk the streets to-nightr'
When asked for an explanation. the man
said that they had arrived that morning
and paid for a room at some house in
advance for the week. He said they for
got to take the number and street, and
had looked for three hours for the house
and then given it up. They had not the
slightest idea where the place was.
A man from Arkansas told the house
keeper a the Moser that he was going out
and might not be back for supper, but she
need not wait for him.
Another came into the st. James yes
I terday afternoon and seeing an advertise
ement on the blOtter in the register head
4 ed: "a friend in need is a friend indeed, -
asked for the address.
That's the man I've been looking for, -
he said. II was robbed last night and ]
want to borrow money to get home on
man at the Rozier apologized TO the
night clerk for keeping him up until Il
O'Clock He said he hadn't noticed how
late it was.
A well-dressed man at the st. Nicholas
told the clerk that there was no oil in his
lamp. 1t wouldn't light. A bell boy went
up and turned on the incandescent and
told the guest that he had forgotten tc
turn up the wick. He acknowledged that
| he had.
A man and woman were registering al
| the Moser Wednesday evening when q
hackman came and asked them for his
money for hauling them up from the I'M
| ion station.
"Why, you amt going to charge us, are
your" asked the man.
Sure" cried the hackman.
Didn't you ask US If we wanted tC
ride?' demanded the man.
The hackman said he had.
"Wen, then" exclaimed the man, what
| do you want us to pay for2"
| The clerk explained matters and the
visitor to the city paid the bill. He re
| marked that that was the first time ht
| had ever known of anyone being invited
to ride and then asked to pay for 1t.

The story of a SUN Dial.

In the first part of the last century an
Irish emigrant named Porter settled near
Philadelphia, says the Philadelphia Times.
Among his sons was one named Andrew,
whom he tried to make into farmer,
and then. like his brothers into car
penter But Andrew would have nothing
10 do with the pillow or the plane He
hid In corners porting over some mathe-
NAUTICAL books that had come into his pos
session.
One day he found the design Of a sun
dial in one of them, and resolved to make
one. He walked eight miles to a soapstone
quarry, found a slab and carried 1t home
on his back. Full of zeal he went to his
brothers shop and used their saws and
chisels in his work. When they came home
in the evening the dial was finished. An
drew was triumphant but every tool IN
the show was nearly or quite ruined. They
drove him into the street In fury of an
ger and contempt.
His father now convinced that he was
an idle, good-for-nothing, who would never
fully earn his bread, babe him go and fit
himself for school teaching, which he call
ed the "lazy mans work"
Andrew gave himself to hard study for
the summer. and then went to the as.
tronomer, David Rittenhouse, and asked
him to lend him book on comic sections.
How long have you studied mathemat-
les Z! demanded the great man.
Three months
"And what do you know of comic sec.
tions?" Rittenhouse reJoined with with
ering contempt.
But after asking the boy a few cues.
tons he not only lent him the book, but
advised him not to waste his time in the
country. but go to Philadelphia and open
mathematical school.
This poor farm boy was afterward Gen.
Andrew Porter. an officer in the war Of
the revolution, and an authority on math-
ematical science in the young republic.
There are plenty OF farm boys now who
dislike farm work. 1t wouldn't be wise
to infer that because of this indolent dis
position they are Andrew Porters In EN-.
bryo. An easy basis for Judgment is L.
note the use they make of their idle time
Do they give it to comic sections or to
base ball?

Col. Ainsworth, chief of the records and
pension division OF the war department,
has prepared a little table showing how
much longer the pension roll of the war of
secession is likely to be continued. Ac-
cording to his figures, there are now $780,,
go survivors on the pension roll, out of
], 095, e28 ex-soldiers. In the course of time
most of these ex-soldiers viii be on the
pension roll. All of them may be there
In the new future, because efforts are all
the time being made to create new classes
Of pensioners.
The amount paid TO pensioners now is
about 100000 per annum. one-third of
this. however, goes to soldiers widows.
The widows are likely to be with us a
long time after the last ex-soldier has
been laid to rest. Pensions are still be-
ing paid 10 the widows of revolutionary
soldiers. The old soldiers marry young
women late in life, and that Is why the
widows are drawing pensions long after
the soldiers are forgotten.
Col. Alnsworth thinks that in 1905 there
viii be s2O,G87 ex-soldiers on the pension
roll; in 1910. GIG 23l in 1920, 251, 727; in 1880,
81, O33; in 1910, $40 and in 1915 there will be
no one Of them living. Owing to the
constant addition Of new pensioners, there
viii not be much of a reduction in the
pension appropriation inside Of fifteen
years. IT will be about eighty years after
the close of the war before the name OF
the last pensioner is removed from the
roll by death. This statement has, OF
| course, no reference to the soldiers wild
| ows 1t is impossible to predict with any
| degree of accuracy when they win cease
10 figure in the roll A greater amount
than the war cost win yet be paid Ia
pensioners in all probability before the
last obligation arising out Of the war OF
| secession IS liquidated

Reformatorr NEEDED.

soIomons & Co did not make e charge
against the boys who broke into their drug
store on sunday and robbed the TIL b.
cause they did not want 70 send them
70 the peniantisry or the chain-gang. The
boys are very young. scarcely more than
children. ard 70 have thrown them into
close association Of old criminals would
nave amounted practically TO making
hardened criminals Of them.
This case emphasizes the reed Of re-
formatory. Because there Is no such in
ztitution in the state. nor In any Of its
counties. many boys. who ought to Be
punished with a view to their reforma-
ton. are permitted 10 escape punishment
with a fair prospect Of continuing their
career Of crime. and others are prosecuted
for their crimes and convicted and sent TO
prison or the chain-gang where they lose
what little self respect they have left,
and by association with hardened often
ders are prepared to enter upon life Of
crime.
The plan which the penitentIary com
nittes OF the legislature has decided to
recommend to the general assembly pro
vides for separating the youthful cTimi-
mails from the older and hardened ones,
but there IS no certainty that this plan
will b adopted. If II should not be the
state should at least DO something for the
reformation Of the youthful criminals en-
trusted to its keeping. Even II it were
possible to reform only a small percen-
tage Of the criminals Of this class it would
pay the state well TO provide an insd-
tuition for them in which they would have
a chance Of becoming good citizens and
respectable members Of society Thus far
in this state there has been altogether
too much Indifference in respect 10 this
matter. We cannot understand how mem
bers Of the legislature, to whom the ques-
ton Of a reformatory has been presented
frequently and forcibly, can reconcile their
Indifference TO it with their sense Of the
obligations which their positions impose
upon them.
The county authorities Of this county
should have arranged long before this to
take care Of the youthful misdemeanOr
convicts on the county farm. There they
could be kept apart from the older con-
victs. and utilized in some occupation that
would tend TO make them Industrious and
teach them that in honest toll there is
much more TO be gained than there Is In
jdlenegs and crime.
