This custom Of entertaining guests

fifteen years, and last winter found II
in the fullness Of its popularity. AnG
these entertainers come high. An art

Fuiton's First Fare and Passenger.

EuitOn's First Fare and Passenger.
There was one little incident in Rob-
ert Fulton's life about which few peo-
pie know and which Fulton never for
got. 1t took place shortly before the
return trip of his famous boats voy-
age by daaIy.iis da Iyisssr ssi the Hudson river. At
the time all Albany flOcked to the
wharf, says Harper's Round Table.
which relates the story, to see the
strange craft, but so timorOus were
they that few cared to board her. One
gentleman. however, not only boarded
her, but sought out Fulton, whom he
found in the cabin, and the following
conversation took place:
This is Mr.. Fulton, 1 presumeT'
"Yes. SIR
DO you return to New York with
this boat?'
I'VE shall try to get back. sir"
Have you any objection to my re
turning with your"
IF you wish to take the chances with
us, sir, have no objection"
What is the fare"
After q moments hesitation, Fulton
replied, "Six dollars" And when that
amount was laid in his hand he gazed
at 1t a long time, and two big tears
rolled down his cheeks. Turning to
the passenger, he said:
Excuse me, sir, but this is the first
pecuniary reward 1 have received for
all my exertion in adapting steam to
navigation. would gladly commemo-
rate the occasion with a little dinner,
but am too poor now even for that.
If we meet again, trust II will not be
the case"
As history relates, the voyage termi-
mated successfully. Four years later
Fulton was sitting in the cabin OF the
Ole.nont, then called the North River.
when Q gentleman entered. Fulton
glanced at him, and then sprang up
and gladly shook his hand. 1t was his
first passenger, and over a pleasant lit
tie dinner Fulton entertained bis guest
with the history Of his success, and
ended with saying that the first actual
recognition Of his usefulness to his fel-
low-men was the Sc paid to him by his
first passenger.

One day, as Pat, a water-carrier, who
supplied the little village with water
from the river, halted at the top Of the
bank, a man, famous for his inQuisitive
mind. stopped and asked:
How long have you hauled water for
the village, my good manT'
Tin years or more, sorr," was the
ready answer.
"Ah, yes! How many loads do you
take in day?"
From tin to fifteen, sOrr."
"Ah! Now I have problem for you.

hauled In all, sir?"
Pat promptly jerked his thumb back

Prejudices, which are from within.
cause more poverty than calamities,
which are from without. Many a man
whose life has been disturbed by physi-
cal disaster has been brought to desti-
tuition by prejudices, which are the
thieves Of mental and spiritual treas
ure, as procrastination is the thief Of
time. We pity the feeble creature who
has been prejudiced against apples by
an untoothsome crab apple; but those
who are by no means feeble-minded
have been prejudiced against sentiment
by sentimentality, against emotion by
emOtionality. And yet, without senti-
ment one would not be susceptible to
noble and tender feeling; without emo
ton thought would never be ''in a
glow" He who conQuers a prejudice
enlarges his borders, and recOvers
many stolen goods.
