Intelligence OF Negro Porters.

President Eliot of Harvard told this
story at the Cornell club dinner the other
evening:
"A friend of mine. college professor
went into a crowded restaurant in New
York city for luncheon one hot day last
summer. The negro in charge of the big
corridor where the hat shelves stood was
an intelligent-looking fellow, and his bow
and smile were not OF the obsequous
stupid kind so often affected by colored
walters and doormen in hotels. He took
my friends hat and gave no check for il
in return. An hour later, when the pro
fesSor came out of the dining room. the
negro glanced at him in a comprehensive
way. turned to the shelves and handed
him his hat
My friend is a man who prides him
self on his powers of observation, and
the negro's ability to remember TO whom
each article of clothing belonged struck
him as being something very wonderful
How did you know this was my hat
he asked.
II didn't know it, sah,' was the re-
ply.
Then why did sou give it 10 me?' the
professor persisted.
Because you gave it to me, sah.' -

by the doorkeeper, who said:

ncwly-landed Dream.
The two stood cycling each other on the
abyss brink for a whole minute, while
Mr.. Druce regained his breath. Then
that worthy spoke.
You are a cunning young man, aren't
you?" he said savaSely. Still, there was
a trace less resentment in his voice than
before.

your money; | wanted Rose. but | had

You can't 60 back on your word as n

But If it comes TO that, l could endure
anything for her sake"
As he concluded this noble sentiment
MIR; Druce gave him a terrific push. His
heels flew up in the air. and he slithered
hopelessly into the muddy pit which had
just held the old man. missing the
pyramid of wheelbarrows by few feet
he landed with sounding squash in the
mud and water.
And now it's my turn!' grinned Mr..
bruce from the top. You shall STAY
there till daylight, my young friend. at
any rate. Or perhaps YOU would like
TO get out on resembling the conditions
You wrung from me?''
Even if he climbed it he would be some
feet from the top, and there was no foot
hold in the soft clay.
Thanks, he said cheerfully, after as
pertaining that his cigarette case held
still dozen rolls. I'll stand by my
guns. You can't go back on your word
as | said before. and l shan't go back on
mine if | stay here week.
Mr.; Druce. went indoors and INDUCED
in coffee and a cigar.
Something in him, after ALL" he
thought. when warm comfort had grown
over him once more.
AT the next morning. some time after
the cold, damp dawn had broken, Mr.
bruce and Rose went down the garden
together. On the way the old man told
his daughter of the nights happenings.
Rose was annoyed TO some extent at
the. thought of her hero spending the
night in a mudhole, but the result
soothed her.
The two Of them found ladder and
slid it into the hole. Reggie. wet and
muddy, but still stepped in calm triumph,
threw away the end of his last cigarette.
and mounted.
Il think" said Mr.. bruce grimly. "you
had better have a hot bath and then
change into some 81 othes of mine"
An hour later Reggie came down to
breakfast in tow of the flushed and hap
py Rose. He looked little lost in the
ample garments of Mr.. bruce, but other
wise he was sedate and cool.
Il should like talk with you in the
study when you come up" said Mr.
Druce as he left the pair after the meal
had waned.
The firm of Druce & Chatters is now
the most prosperous of its kind. and Mrs.
Chatters is amply supported by Reggie

customed. Penny Pictorial Magazine.

4 writer for the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser has not been thrown into
superatves by the contemplation Of the
contemporary historical novel. He says
that there is nothing against the his
torical novel in itself, and that these
books at least leave the reader no worse
off for reading them, and that they are
monuments of diligence, and that since on
the whole, they present more facts than
fallacies, they serve to impress some les
sons of history upon their readers minds.

Secretary Root says that he has not
changed his mind as to the possibility of
safely reducing the number of American
soldiers in Cuba. But the postponement
of the Cuban elections for at least a
month beyond the date originally fixed
had made it advisable to delay CORE
spondingly the diminution of the garri-
sons so that it might be we'll into the
summer before the contemplated reduc-
tons could be made. The existence of a
quarantine in Florida at that time would
not prevent the movement of troops
