Sometimes these little fellows stagger
us with their answers and queries. A
little four-year-ol was shown a type
writing machine for the first time few
days ago. 1t was of the kind having
white and black keys, and the operator
struck of a few lines to show how it
worked. The little man seemed to re-
gard the whole affair with much sus-
picion and would say nothing. Upon
his arriving home he commenced to talk
to his mother about it, and said that ''it
didn't make near as nice music as their
own organ"

WHEN EDISON WAS YOUNG.

II wes an operator in tile Mempbi
office when Thomas Edison applied t
the manager for position" said A. g
Rockfellow, a member OF the Reminis
cence Club that was in session at tn
Lindell. HE came walking into tn
Office one morning looking like o vsri-
table hayseed.
"He wore hickory shirt, pair O
butternut pants, tucked into THE top,
of boots size too large and gultless
of backing. where's the bossF was
bis query as he glanced around the
Office. No one replied at once and he
repeated the question. The manager
asked him what he could do for him.
The future great inventor proceeded
to st-ike him for job. Business was
rushing, and the Office was two men
short, 80 almost any kind of lightning
singer was welcome.
"He was assigned to desk, and q
fusilsde of winks went the rounds OF
the Office for the Jay was put on the
st. Lois wire, the hardest in the Office.
At lhe end of the wire was au operator
who Was chain Lightning, aud knew it
Edison had hardly got seated before
st. Louis started in on. a long report,
and he pumped it in like q house afirs.
Edison threw bis log over the sru
of his chair, leisurely transferred a wad
of spruce gum irsm his pocket to hi
mouth, picked up peu, examined 4
critically and stsrteds in about 20s
words behind. He didn't stay there
long, though st. Louis Let out another |
link of speed. and still another. and the |
instrument on Edison's table hummed
like an old-style Singer sewing ma
chine. So
Every man in the Office left his desk
and gathered around the Jay to see
what he was doing with the electric
cyclone. VOL, sir, he was right on
the, word, and was putting it right

 AS SATISFACTORY.
Premier sagasta Denies That Spain Has Given NJ. oambon Authority to
 Change Anything.

Madrid, 4 ug. 12.-In official circles here the reply of the United States to Spain ill the peace negotiations is re- garded as satisfactory
 Premier Sagasta, however, denies he authorized the French Ambassador at Washington, NJ Cambon, as represent ative of Spain, to make changes in the Spanish answer i'll regard to certain con- ditions which might create difficulties during the course of negotiations. The premier added, If any changes are to be made the government itself will make them. "
 The text of the reply of the United States will not be definitely know until the next cabinet meeting.
 It is believed in official circles here that a suspension of hostilities will be announced by both governments imme- diately after Mir. Cambon is authorized to sign the protocol.
