A MAGIC WORD IN GREECE.

Chicago Record: I had been told tina,
the use of the tourist ickets would help
me at Patrais. The tourist ticket pro-
vides for the handling of baggage, the
dinner and the embarkatiOn.
When you get to Patras, and these fell
lows come at you, just say Cook was
the advice given to me by the mar in the
office at Athens.
These fellows proved to be a drove OF
insolent porters. boatmen and hotel rum
neis. -Four of them had their heads
through the windows before the train
came to a stop, and all talked at the
same time.
Cook" I said.
They fell away into the darkness.
Others came, but they were dismissed
with the same magic word.

NEW AMUSEMENT.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Il guess the
most profitable trip this car EVER made
for the company was one it made a few
nights ago"
The speaker was the conductor on ar
Eleventh street trolley car.
1.-The incident happened along about !
a. M, just as l was making my last run.
There were but two or, three passengers
on the car, when a well-dressed young
fellow, who looked as if he had money to
burn, and with a jag that must have cost
him considerable to purchase, climbed
aboard. He took a back seat in the COR
ner, and rode along without saying any
thing for a while. Finally, after / had
rung up the fares of a couple more per-
sons who got on the car, he beckoned to
me.
Must be-hic-lotsh O. fun to-hic-
ring thai cash register he exclaimed,
foud enough for all the other passengers
to hear. 'ain't or-hic-man?'
II told him that l had never found it
very funny"
"'Thatsh b'caush y~'o-hic-gettin' paid
f'r't,' he rejoined. It'd be diff'r'nt # had
t-hic-pay f'r't y'rshelf.'
II laughingly answered that l didn't
know. He wondered a minute.
Shay he exclaimed at last, reaching
in his pocket and pulling out a s. bill,
which he handed me, 'jusht-hic-keep
count, will you, and when l get tired ring
ing 'em up, jushu-hic-g.mme the
CHANGE
Then he made a grab for the cash reg
lister belicord and, s%teadying himself with
one hand, proceeded to yank it vigorous
ly, making funny cracks all the time. The
other passengers laughed and encouraged
him, and before he grew tired Of the SPORT
he had rung up $4.35 worth of fares.
Here's your change ] said, when he
sat down again. How'd you like it?'
HE took the So cents without a MUIR
muir, and showed it in his pocket. Then
he winked at me graVely.
Ssh all right. Never had sh' much fun
FIR sh' little money in all my life-h:c-
life. Try her ag'n shome -hic-time. Good
night"
1.-THE next instant he was aslep.'

WHY MUSICIANS "TUNE'' IN PUBLIC

1t has often puzzled the uninitiated to
give a reason why musicians tune their
instruments in public, and not before
they enter the orchestra. If they tuned
their instruments before entering the the
alter or concert room the temperature is
very apt to be different in the place of
performance, M therefore the instru-
ments would not be in tune. A piano
which is in tune in a cold room would get
out of tune il the room were suddenly
heated.

John Mcdonald, a letter carrier, was ar
rested in the Hoboken Postoffice yester-
day afternoon by Postoficer Inspection
William B. Snow, charged with stealing
from the mails. When searched, a batch
of seventeen letters was found In his pock-
ct. Among them was decoy, which con-
tanned money.
Mcdonald was taken before United
States Commissioner Rowe in Jersey, who
committed him to the County Jail under
$2 000 bail
Mcdonald lived with his wife and two
children at No. 1905 Washington street. He
has been a carrier for ten years.
The letters found on. Mcdonald had
been taken from rack in the post Office
and did not belong to McDonald's route.
MeDenald's arrest created a big sur
prise in Hoboken. Few could at first
credit the story. The accused man is sec
retary Of the Hoboken Letter Carriers

circles. He is member of the Royal

Discussing the arrest Postmaster Leon
ard Schroeder this morning said:-"Mc-
Donald was always regarded as a model
letter carrier and his arrest was big
shock to every man in the department.
The Federal authorities have been re-
ceiving complaint for several months back
that money sent through the mails has
gone astray and an investigation was
ordered. The investigation came under
the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia dis
trict and Deputy Burns was assigned to
the case. / could give him little help, as
I had no suspicious of any man under
me. Investiga ting himself Burns learned
that Mcdonald was setting a faster pace
than his salary of $3.50 per year would
warrant The decoy letter was accord
ingly written and directed to an address
on his route yesterday. When Mcdonald
returned to the postoffice he was searched
and this letter and fifteen other were
found on his person.
Mcdonald admitted having taken these
letters from the postoffice He intended
to deliver them on the routes of men on
his way home. as he often had done, he
said. Every man who knows Mcdonald
has always regarded him as a person
above reproach. His arrest is a big sur
prise everywhere"
