MADE MISERABLE BY 49,"


This Conductor Has Good Reason to
BE Superstitious.
No more firm believer in the proven
bial bad luck associated with the num-
ber IS is to be found in the city than
Conductor Samuel Sharp, Of "a German
town local train, says the Philadelphia
Record. His parents had 13 children, of
whom he was the youngest. and none OF
them ever prospered. AS the thirteenth
child, however, Samuel has had more
troubles than any of his brothers and
sisters. After countless mishaps dur
ing his school days he started in TO earn
his living as newsboy on the cars
when he was 13 years of age. One Fri
day, the 18th day of the month, not
long after he entered the service, there
was a wreck on the road and he was
laid up In a hospital with q couple of
broken ribs for 13 weeks.
Some years later, when a brakeman,
his uncle died and left him 81 300, but
just as he was about to get married on
the money the bank failed and he lost
1t all, feeling, of course, more disap
pointed than II it had never been left to
him. Gradually he worked his way up
and became baggage master, and then
he did marry. Unw!ttingly, however,
he went to housekeeping at 1919 South
Thirteenth street and his young wife
died within the year, leaving him brok
en-hearted. Since he has been conduc-
tor his train has run over 13 men and
he hopes that he has now reached the
limit. It Is On utter impossibility to
get him to punch the 18th trip on a COM
mutation ticket, and when hard pressed
he hands his punch to the passenger,
with the request to do it for him.

PAGININI WAS MlSERLY.

Close-FistedncssW w as One of the Char
acteristics of the Great ViOlfnist.
Plunkett Greene, the Irish baritone,
tells good story which illustrates the
closeness in money matters for which
Paganini was almost as celebrated as
for his violin playing, says the Troy
Times. 1t seems that at the time the
great violinist was giving his concerts
in London he resided In Regent street
quadrant, and when he practiced it was
with mute on his violin 50 that nobody
might hear but those who paid for the
privilege of his public performances.
His fame reached his laundress, who
had power of appreciating artistic
her to a more elevated position than
that of presiding over a washtub. She
was seized with an irrepressible desire
to participate in the wondrous infiu-
ence his marvellous bow had over his
magic fiddle; consequently when she,
brought home his linen on the next oc-
casion she sent up her humble and mod
est request that he would be good
enough to give an order for the gallery
to hear him play at his next concert.
He complied readily and sent her down
q pass or two, but when her account
was settled she was startled to find that
the price of the two admissions was de-

A good story comes to the Plain
dealer about a public man about
Washington who affects deafness at
times and thereby saves himself an
noyance from people who do not want
to shout their private business into his
ear while other persons are about.
But the plan doesn't always work well.
The public man saw a North Dakota
Office seeker approaching, and rightly
suspected that he was to be bored with
tale of woe. He greeted the Office
seeker kindly and then pretended to
have difficulty in hearing him. The
story of hard luck was told all the
same. At the end came the request:
LEND me SIS please"
"What did you say" asked the pub
lie man in a tone which he thought
might deter the would be borrower,
especially as the others we're standing
near.
''nend me $10' came in tone which
drew the attention of everybody with
in twenty feet.
why yes" was the reply.
The bill was produced and passed
over. AS the lender followed with his
eyes the retreating borrower, he said
little bitterly:
"I'd have saved S. if I'd heard him
the first time.

YOU l should, conqueror. Ah!you
need not try to escapep and he laid
his heavy hand on her shoulder. "You
are my prisoner now. Here, men,
bind her hauds."
Traitor and cowardm cried Laura;
You come to fight womanp'
"W hen woman does a mans work
as you have done, she must take a
mans punishment" he ansW Wered, as
with strong cord he fastened her
hands together.

"You refuse?"

"You know the penalty of your OBJ

she said, calmly. "You may kill me.
it you choose. but 1 will not betray
my country as you lave.
The titful moOnbeams lit up her
handsome face. with its brilliant dark
eyes and firm set lips Bryne looked
at her with craving eagerness, and
then coming close to her. whispered
in her ear:
BE mine, and you need not tell
where the horn is; otherwise cannot
save you. Those men are infamed
with wine and blood; and they are
hungry for your life. Last night you
helped across the river the men who
had tortured to death one of their
comrades. They have vowed ven
geance-"
At this moment, one of the men who
had been searching the bank, cried
out:
Here, captain-here's the horn. l
found it under stcne."
Laura grew a shade paler, Don't
use itp' she cried; 'for Gods sake
don't hurt poor Pompeyr'
And she turned away her head as
she heard the long. echoing sound
ring out on the night air.
A few moments OF comparative ST.
lence, and the little canoe shot out
from the opposite bank. As it came
nearer, Laura could see the old ne
gro's head white in the moonlight,
with it's thick, silvered wool.
captain Bryne, if you have the
heart of man, don't hurt the poor
defenceless fellow. It was all my
fault"
1T is too late!"
And indeed. at this second the
sharp crack of a rifle cut the air.
Lauaa saw the well known features
of the faithful slave convulsed in NOR
tai agony, as the oars dropped from
his nerveless grasp. The soldiers
were by him in an instant, and while
some secured TIE boat, others tossed
the stlll quivering body into the wa
ter
Let his fate be a warning to YOU"
said Bryne. "Now be mine, or your
punishment will be more horrible than
oou can guess"
Never! Cowards who can kill
defenceless man and threaten q wo
man. l defy you alp
And With sudden bound, Laura
freed herself from the clasp of the
soldiers who guarded her, and sprang
up the bank.
''QuIck! Catch her! Shoot her
DOWN. cried Bryne, hoarse with
rage.
A volley of shots followed the fly
ing figure, and with a convulsive
spring she sank to the ground. the
life blood yelling from a mortal
wound. Yes, her lovers revenge was
complete, and that brave though mis-
taken heart had ceased to beat

This Man Carried q Lighted Lamp
Several Blocks.
An amusing case of absent-minded-
ness was experienced by young south
slider the other evening, says the Pitts
burgh Chronicle-Telegraph. The young
man is usually of bright nature, but
for some time past his friends have been
noticing that he does some peculiar
things. Not long ago he was at recep-
ton, and q few minutes before closing
time he went to the coat box and Sc
cured his hat and coat. Then he walked
upstairs to the dancing floor and picked
up another coat and walked home with
it on his arm. Arriving at his home he
found that he had one coat on and an
other on his arm. The next day he found
the owner of the extra coat and mutual
explanations followed and all was well.
But that has been eclipsed by his latest
exploits. He had finished his toilet and
started for the street. AS soon as he
made his appearance he was greeted
with smiles from everybody who saw
him. He walked down the street and
could not imagine what made the pass
ersby smile at him. Finally he reached
the restaurant where he takes his meals,
then he realized that he was carrying
something in his hand. He looked ct
it and found that he had carried the
lighted lamp from his room and had
walked several blocks along the main
street with it in his hand.
Another case Is cited concerning the
same young man. At the Office where
he is employed he has occasion to an
swer many calls at the telephone. One
evening he was reading book in his
room when an alarm clock rang in an
adjoining room. The absent-minded
youth got up and commenced to yell
Hello! Hello!" and when the occupant
OF the other room inquired as to the
cause of the yelling the young man said
in a sheepish manner: "Oh, I thought
it was the telephone bell ringing"

at Reeds Ferry, n H., near his birth
place; he is Walter Kittredge, popu

wrote many OF his OWL songs, both
words and melodies. "Tenting on the

and composed on the night after he had
been drafted into the army, was one
OF the most popular of the war songs
and is still favorite, more than 1OO,-
