"NotifIt Were My Boy"

Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening Of some re-
formatory institution for boys, during
which he remarked that II only one
boy was saved from ruin II would pay
for all the cost and care and labor Of
establishing such an institution as that.
After the exercises had closed, in pri-
yate conversation, a gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement and said
10 him:

you said that all that expense and la
Dor would be repaid II It only saved

The PnIlfc Policeman.

II was crowded on the avenue, and
there was constant stream Of vehi-
Giles coming and going. At the crossing
Of two OF the most congested streets
stood a police officer, tall and COM
mandlng, irreproachably dressed and
with IN eye that compelled obedience.
When the tide OF travel surged thick

and looked out into the impossible
stream OF carriages and wagons. Eyi-
IDENTIFY she wanted to get across. The
gallantry OF the big policeman took
possession Of him. He approached her
and held up his hand.
Don't be afraid. I'll see that You
get across safely" he said.
The old lady shook her head nery-
ously and seemed more undecided than
ever. The policeman came nearer.
Taking her arm, he started to lead her
across, stopping the steady stream OF
passersby In wagons and carts. The
old lady hung back. protesting. When
the slow way TO the other side of the
street had been made, the officer re
leased her arm. She looked at him In
a dazed way and said with some sharp

not being considered a necessary lux

large bowl full of white soup, from
which everybody ate, taking as many

wooden ladies provided for each guest.

Tun RaiIrnnd Pnasen.

When its limited express trains were
put on some years ago, the Lake Shore
Railway company decided to charge
extra for the privilege Of riding on
them, and John Newell, who was pres
ident of the system at that time, gave
orders that passes, half rate tickets,
etc, should not be honored on the eli
ers." 1t was not intended, Of course,
that the complimentaries issued TO high
officials of other roads should be void
on the fast trains, but through an over
sight a yearly pass was sent to D. w.
Caldwell, president Of the Nickel Plate,
which bore on its face the words:
mot good on Lake Shore limited
trains"
A few days after Mr.. CaldwelPs pass
had been issued Mr.. Newell received
an annual pass on the Nickel Plate
with the following Endorsement:
mot good Cd passenger trains"
- Messrs. Newell and Caldwell remain

died and was succeeded by the latter

Department that foreign bound passen-
gers leaving this port can touch at Ho-
nolulu. The letter received follows:
Collector Of Customs, San Francis
CO: Sir-Referring to Section 9S OF
the act approved April 80, 1900, en-
titled An act to provide government
for Hawaii the attention Of the de-
partment has been directed to the fact
that 1t is the practice of the Pacific
Mail Company, the Occidental & Orien-
tai Steamship Company and the Togo
Kisen Kaisha to permit passengers
buying tickets from San Francisco to
Japan or vice versa to proceed by ves-
sells OF the foreign companies named
to Hawaii, with a stop-over privilege
at Honolulu available for a relatively
short time, Honolulu not being the
destination or ultimate landing place
OF these passengers. The passengers
awaiting themselves of this privilege
are subsequently carried to their final
port Of destination by another vessel
of one of these three lines operating
under joint schedule.
The department has under consider
alton the question of the. legality of
this procedure, and pending its final
decision upon the matter you are here
by authorized to permit the practice
hitherto in vogue.
