The April Issue OF the st. Louis Railway
Journal contains a half tone likeness of
Mr.. A. S. Grant of this city, together with
the following complimentary remarks:
Among the many bright and progressive
railroad men who keep the wheels rolling
on the lines o1 the great Lone Star State.
the president of the Texas Railway club
is prominent figure.
Mr.. Grant is West Virginian by birth.
but has been identified with Tho mechanical
department of Texas railroads for the past
sixteen years, In 1898 he was appointed
master mechanic Of the Houston East and
West Texas railway, and at once began
extensive improvements in the line of new
shop building. machinery, locomotives and
cars He is an original and independent
thinker and a walk through his depart
ment shows marked evidence of ability as
an organizer and manager.
IN personal demeanor. he is courteous
and unassumirg, but firm and outspoken,
commanding alike the respect and conf
denIe of his superior officers, and his own
employees. They like him best who know
him best.
Mr.. Grant is an indefatigable worker
for the Texas Railway club and it can be
said that the success of the club is due
largely TO his untiring efforts as a club
worker. Besides being an ardent worker
| in the interests of that association, he
has contributed several able articles at the
various meetings that have received more
thapAisual notice from the press

A WOMAN's VETO.

Why a Certain Naval Appointment
Was Never Confirmed.
An incident which occurred during
the first Cleveland administration IL
Illustrates the good feeling existing be-
tween the newspaper men and the
chief of the bureau Of naval construc-
ton. A certain correspondent, who
was on particularly intimate terms
with the chief, called at his Office and
was received with unusual cordiality.
Calling the correspondent by his first
name, the chief said: look here,
Blank, want you to do something for
me. Mr.. IS appointment to a place
in this department, after being fought
through two congresses, has prevailed,
has been signed by Secretary Whitney
and only waits the signature Of the
president. You, Of all men in Wash
ington, can find out what action the
president will take, and think you
know way to prevent the document
being signed"
The correspondent replied. II think
know q way" He left the building and
went for Miss 49,, who was at that
time doing Washington society for
the Associated Press. To her he told
the story and explained what he
wanted done.

Eccentric Balzac.

A correspondent Of literature sends
an interesting anecdote Of Balzac to
that journal: Leon Gozian used to re-
late how he met Balzac one day on the
Boulevard des Capucines "dying with
hunger" The novelist insisted on TAX
ing Gozian to confectioner who sold
macaroni patties. Forgetting his hum
ger, Balzac plunged into an apprecia-
ton Of Cooper's Lake Ontario" new
ly appearedl Gozian noticed that the
shop attendant, an English girl, had
heard him address Balzac by name and
was gazing at the author as though
fascinated. She was astounded pres
emily by the appetite Of genius for
macaroni pattes, which disappeared
by couples
"How much do owe your asked
Balzac.
Nothing, NJ. Balzac," said the Eng
fish girl firmly.
Baltic was nonplused for a moment,
then he pushed his precious copy Of
"Lake Ontario" into the girls hands,
saying. II can never sufficiently regret
madamoiseIle, that did not write that
book"

Some Superstitiens.

When starting for the river, says q
writer in London Field, if you have to
turn back and get something that you
have forgotten, you are sure to catch
little or nothing that day. This is an
article Of Devon folklore, and l am In
clined to think the west country folk
right herein. The disappointment,
the hurry and the bringing Of wrong
things always act periodically upon
what out to be the unruf1ed,
even temper of successful angler. He
becomes hasty and rash, most often
with ill results to his basket.
In the western highlands it is cur
rently believed that If you see a colt
with its back to you when starting in
the morning on a fishing excursion it
is the worst Of luck, only to be exceed
ed should you hear a cuckoo before
breakfast.

It's Preparation In Modern Theaters

The preparation for new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is most
interesting. A complete model in min

Of the German toy theaters seen in the
shops. The picture Is carefully painted;
the rocks, If there be any, and the
foliage are cut out. and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard. and If the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature. flights Of steps,
and the hangings. all seriously worked
out. It is something that would de-
light the heart of boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
Is produced, and are then put away
on shelves. alas! only to warp and be-
come covered with dust.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per-

the scheme OF color; so there are long
conferences with electricians and m: b
