The Lackawanna railroad has just
issued, under the title Of Ghost Of the
Glacier and Other fales, a decided in
novation in the way Of railroad litera-
mre. This book, which is attractive
ly printed and illustrated, is practice
ally book Of short stories, having no
advertising in connection with them
except such as naturally accrues from
the fact that the stories are located
along that line. The Lackawanna
railroad, being the second oldest in
the United States, passes through a
territory every mile Of which has as
ISOLATED with it some Indian legend or
romance, some recollection Of the In
dian wars. or some historical event
of the war Of the revolution. II is an
easy matter, therefore, for the short
story writer to find mine Of material
along this line, and this little volume
is capital evidence that he has done
SO.

impossible for me 10 send you any

/ have often wished that you were
with US. Inasmuch as you are used
to writing, you could have filled
your paper with interesting articles
provided you could have found the
time to write them. I am glad to
say that my trip thus far has been
delightful, with very few exceptions.
The voyage across was all that one
could wish; beautiful weather and
smooth sea The first day or two it
seemed that the Captain of the ship
was trying to get up combination
with Neptune to keep the pa seDgers
from the table, or make them give
up the little they had eaten. But
the scheme didn't work. Old Nep
was favorably disposed towards US,
aud wore a smile from start TO finish.
AS a result, very few were sea-sick,
aud after the second day every seat
at the table was filled. The Doctor
did not seem to enjoy the voyage
much; he said IL was monotonous.
The little while 1 spent in London
was pleasant and profitable. On my

grave of John Wesley, went through
his old church, and even entered his
old high pulpit and the house in
which he lived. Just across the

tai John Bunyan.

of the famous Belgian rabbits, and ex
poets to get two more in the near future,

thousands of people filled the streets
of the town until sunrise.
The king met death like a soldier.
Twice before attempts have been
made to kill him. but he has escaped
mainly through his own personal de-
fense and courage. Sunday night
when the first shot rang out, the king
slightly turned his head, but the sec
ond bullet cut him down and he fell
fainting in the arms of his aide. The
brave old king was too far gone to
fight as he had done the other assas-
sins.
Immediately after the shooting a
vast crowd gathered about the car
riage, but was driven back by the
police. The king was carried to a
residence near by and several physi-
clans called. A few minutes lated
the kings death was formally an
nounced, throwing the country and
