THACKERAY ON A TOUR.
The Man of Letters Was No Match
for a Hackman.

Thackeray loved to relate jokes on
himself; and one he especially enjoyed
was about Reading hackman. The
author was unacquainted with the
town and the moment he emerged from
the railway station he told a hackney
coachman to drive him to the nearest
hotel The driver closed the door cere-
moniousiy, mounted his box and they
started In half minute the cab was
at a standstill, and Thackeray saw the
cabman at the door, bowing to him to
come out. He did SO without word
and found that hetwas at the. portico of
the station hotel, which he had failed
to see was not dozen yards off.
:. But he handed the man shilling and
was entering the hotel, rather pleased
with his OWE sang froid, when he was
amazed to see the cabman taking off
his coat and offering to fight him for
the other sixpence." 1t appeared that
on that day a resolution of the Reading
Town Council had come into operation
empowering hackney coachmen to
Charge eighteenpence for any distance
within the township. This was it's first
fruits! 1t is unnecessary to add that
the cabman got his money and Thack-
cray a good story to tell at the clubs-

While the date on which the Montana
men Will be invited TO once more enjoy
Oakland's hospitality will probably be
determined at the meeting on Monday 1t
has been suggested to the committee that
Saturday, October I, be considered as a
most suitable date.
The regiment will be mustered out

JOHN KRYTSER NEEDS
NO GUARDIAN NOW

venes and Ends a Bitter
Legal Contest

OAKLAND Sept. 30.-The death of John
Krytser at his home, 1902 Eighth street,

feud, that during the past week had been
aired to a considerable extent in Judge
Halls court

Gently instituted proceedings for the ap-
pointment of a guardian over the per
son and estate of his father. The ulti-
mate purpose was to prosecute a suit
against the petitioners stepmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Krytser, to set aside and null
ify certain deeds wherein the deceased
transferred his title to the Eighth street
property, which is valued at about $4,000,
to the wife. The stepson charged Mrs.
Krytser with having secured the execu-
tion and delivery of the deeds through
fraud and undue influence.
The matter of the guardianship had
been practically heard in full before Judge
Hall last Tuesday and continued until
next Monday, Judge Hall intending to
visit John Krytser personally before that
time and determine for himself whether
Krytser was incompetent, as alleged by
petitioDing son. While the contest over
the guardianship will now be buried with
deceased, ii is understood that Charles
j. Krytser Will still bring suit against the
widowed stepmother to recover the prop
erty to his fathers estate.
Deceased was a pioneer mining man Of
the State. He was a native of Pennsyl-
Nania. aged Is years, and besides the
widow and son mentioned, leaves a

Finally She Let the subject Drop.

A most embarra ssihg experience was
that of a certain West Philadelphia
young woman who, a few evenings ago,
attended reception in which number
of well-knoWn club women participated.
1t so happened that among these were
several who had found the matrimonial
yoke an unwelCome one for various
reasons and had obtained legal separa-
tions from their husbands. To one Of
these ladies. quite unwittingly, having
just been introduced the young woman,
who is nothing if not conversational
and vivacious, addressed the question:
by the way, Mrs. R, don't you
think divorce is wrong?" The lady,
reddening slightly, replied: MY dear,
there are two sides to that question.
Perhaps you have not heard my story"
The Questioner, embarrassed beyond
measure. stammered an excuse and
walked away. To the first woman she
met she confided her trouble, saying:
unfortunate remark. You know Mrs.
R? Well, 1 spoke to her about di-
vorce, and she's divorced, you know"
$50 am l, my dear" was the smiling
reply. and once again the young woman
wished the floor would open under her.
She felt so bad that she went to one
of the ladies in charge of the reception
and, taking her aside, told her the
whole story. asking her advice as to
what she should do. DO nothing at
all, Miss L" was the reply. 81 really
don't think they have any horror of
the subject so long as it's innocently
called up. 1 know 1 haven't, and 1, too,
am a divorcee." Whereat the conver-
sational miss donned her hat, and,
fearing to say another word, went
home-Philadelphi Record.
