LINCOLN AND PULLMAN.
How the ~Ran-spIitter Got the Better of
the Il. p. =. 4. Man.

Once upon a time. away back in the
COS, there was only one Pullman car.
That was known as car A. 1t cost
81, 00O-some Of them cost $40, 900 now.
Car A ran out of Chicago on the Alton
Road. George NJ. Pullman had evolved
it. When his idea had been put into
wood he mounted it on sixteen wheels
and attached it to a train. Then he,
personally, sold the right to sleep in II
for fifty cents a chance-or 80 cents n
risk, If you prefer il, for it was about
one man out of five who could sleep in
car A Of the SOS.
Fifty cents was the price and two in
a berth was the rule, as unswervable as
the laws of the Modes and Persians. II
some sybarite wished 10 sleep by him
self and was e~xtravagant enough to pay
for the luxury, he paid 81. Then he
temporarily owned the berth.
One night going out Of Chicago, a
long, lean, ugly man, with a wart on
his cheek, came into the depot. He
paid George NJ. Pullman so cents and
half a berth was assigned him. Then he
took off his coat and vest and hung them
up, and they fitted the peg about as well
rs they fitted him. Then he kicked off
his boots, which were of surprising
length, turned into the berth, and, hav-
ing an easy conscience, was sleeping
Ike D healthy baby before the car left
the depot.
Along came another passenger and
paid his 80 cents. Ia two minutes he
was back at George Pullman.
There's 4 man in that berth of mine, y
said he, hotly, "and he's about 10 feet
high. How am | going TO sleep there,
I'd like to know? Go and look at him.
In went Pullman-mad, too. The
tall, lank mans knees were under his
chin, his arms were stretched across the
bed, and his feet were stored comfort
ably-for him. Pullman shook him n
til he awoke and then told him if he
wanted the whole berth he would have
to pay 81.
MY dear sir, said the tall man, "a
contract is a contract. / have paid you
OF cents ior haif thiv berth, aud, Is ycu
see, I'm occupying it. There's the other
half, pointing to a strip about 6 inches
wide. Sell that and don't disturb me
again" And, SO saying, the man with
a wart on his face went TO sleep again.
He was Abraham Lincoln. -PHS6urg

however, the gunners on boarl naval YES.
sells have been aided by a scientific device
known as a range finder.
Lieutenant Fiskc Of the United States
navy invented the first and best device OF

Clple or land surveying with a transit and
engineering chain. II a surveying party
comes 70 a broad river whose width has
been determined. q base line is measur 4
along the bank. and the angles viii n this
line makes with "a mark on the pBpOeitc
bank are measured by the transit. Then.
knowing the length Of the base lire and
the two angles, the distance across the
river can be determined By trigonOmptry.
Applying this 10 the range finder. a base
line Is carefully measured between two
points near opposite ends of the ship. and
over each point n range finder, answering
