company which intends to lay its tracks through

to take away some Of the chief pleasures OF life
outside OF the hustle and turmoil of the changing

wonder of the generation. Within a few days
one jury brought in a verdict OF six cents against

careessness. The judge properly set the find

Easily Recognized.

Charles Dickens delighted to tell
stories of John Forester, the writer
and editor with whom he was SO
much associated. Mr.. Forester had so
peremptory and decisive q manner
that 1T impressed all who came in con-
tact with him. His servants were
kept in perfect and almost abiect
submission to his wishes, and vet he
showed many kindnesses to them, and
they were greatly attached to him.
The story runs that on one occa-
sion cabman called at the printing
office and was unable to give the
name of the person who had ordered
him to come at a certain hour, with
out fail.
The office porter, asked for a de-
scription of his fare, and the cabman
stated that he was "A stout gentle
man." To this the porter replieo
that there were several stout gentle
men in the office. and inquired
whether this one was tall or short.
Il don't know which you'd cal
him. returned the cabman Il didn'1
take special notice; but there cans
be two like him; he's that harbitrary
cove!"
The porter summoned Mr.. Forester
without hesitation. and found he
had made no mistake. When the story
leaked out. nobody enjoyed it more
than the ''harbitrary cove himself.

A CIOthes-Pin That Cost Ten Dollars.

Possibly one of the secrets of Thorn
as A. Edison's success as an inventor
is his forethOught. The Wizard of
Menlo Park does not believe in leav-
ing anything undone that can be done
to further his researches. An illus
tration may be cited in his wonderful
curiosity shop. This shop is a high
ceiinged room, the walls of which
are filled with shelves divided into
pigeOnholes and drawers. Here are
Kept and properly labeled all manner
OF materials used in Ia boratories and
workshops. No mineralogist has a
finer collection of specimens. AS to
woods, the Smithsonian Institution
or the Metropolitan Museum of Nat
ural History are not more complete.
The collection, for instance, of bam-
boo fibre, used in the electric4lig ht
bulbs, comprises every specimen
known to science.
Besides these, the shop contains
everything that an inventor could pos
sibly want, whether he were invent
ing new dynamo or a hobby horse
that would shy at bicycles, or devils
ing a gigantic electrical reproduction
of the battle of Manila. Mr.. Edison's
idea in making the collection was to
provide against any contingency that
might arise.

When the shop was stocked Mr..
Edison thought he would test its
completeness. Therefore he offered
prize of $40 to any of his assistants
who should mention any material of
possible use not contained in the
collection. The prize was won by a
bright young man after hard days
