'The reputation which some. large

aSystemless Shopping" In the Ladies
Home Journal. II make no claim Of
perfection for the clerks who stand
behind the counters Of our great stores
where women shop. They are only
common mortals, full Of faults. But
considering what they are called upon
TO go through and endure at the hands
Of fhoughtless women, the wonder
Is that they are so civil and obliging.
IL the truth could be known 1t would
be found that they suffer far more
than they infiict suffering. II the roll

RaIaed His Rank

An engaging manner is useful every
where. This axiom is amusingly Illus
trated by a story which Justin McCar-
thy tells. "soon after the civil war"
he says. IT happened to be standing ON
a bridge in New York, amusing my
self by studying the crowd, when a
shrill. youthful voice accosted me with
.Cap'n, shine yer boots? The chance

many soldiers were returning to civil
ian life. and l paid no attention to the
invitation. Just the2 a rival boot
black passed, and, imagining where the
cause of my indifference lay, he ad-
vanced, and, pushing past the unsuc-
cessful claimant. he gave me a military
salute and appealed to me with the
captiyating words: 'Brigadier-general

THRILLING WORK.
Coupling an Engine to 8 Fast EXPRESS Trails
While In Notice

Zone of the most scientific pieces Of
railroad running 1 ever saw" said
John Rutgers, a former employe of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who
has now given up ~railroading and Is
engaged In business at Milwaukee,
used to be done ON the 'Pensy:' At
that time they were running an hour
and d half train from Philadelphia I'd
this city, and as the present speed OF
locomotives had not then been attained
it was somewhat difficult Of getting en-
gineers to make it. The terrific speed
maintained, together with the constant
strain of anxiety throughout the rum
told heavily on mems nerves, and after
taking the train through a few times
they had to give it up. But to return
to the scientific work I started to tell
you of. To make such Il schedule
every minute that could be saved was
counted: Princeton grade was one
drawback to the run. 1t was long and
heavy, and an inevitable delay always
ensued there. To stop and couple on
another engine would not help matters.
as the time, necessary for the stop more
than equaled the extra time required
to climb the grade. Finally they tried
coupling on the extra engine when
running at full speed, and the plan
worked to perfection as long as the
train was kept up. 1t was one of the
most beautiful pieces Of work I ever
saw. The extra engine would be ruiz
ming Quietly along several miles from
the grade, and when the express came
in sight the speed of the extra would
be at once increased until it was great
err than that of the oncoming train
Then little by little the engineer would
decrease the. speed and drop back until
engine and train would come together
as gently as a feather floats to earth
A man stationed on the cowcatchei
would couple the two engines together
and their united strength would whisk
the train up the grade with scarce any
abatement of speed. The grade sur
mounted the forward engine wou1o
then be uncoupled and would run for
ward at top speed until it came to q
switch which was open and waiting
for it. Into this it would run, The
switch would then be closed, and a mo
ment later the fast express would
thunder by on its way to its destina
ton. 1t a a pretty and scientific
sight, and if you realized the attendan1
danger a thrilling n as well tt

FORGOT BURIED WEALTH
Gold Dug from a Church Basement Cla;"
by Its Old Pastor.

A veritable gold mine was found i
the basement of the Immaculate Con-
ception Catholic Church, North Park
avenue and Schiller street, Chicago, on
4 recent afternoon, and in less than
thirty minutes nearly $1,000 in gold
coin was thrown upon the pile of re-
fuse and dirt which was being taken
from the basement.
The excitement attending the discoy-
cry of the gold mine was intense, and
for a time not only the school Children,
who first made the discovery Of the
money, took part in the search, but the
sisters in charge Of the parish school
and several brothers left their r0oms
and dug about in the pile of ground.
The treasure, according to those in a
position to know, was buried under
the church in 1873, during the money
panic by Father Patrick T. Butler, the
present pastor Of the church, and who
is. the oldest priest in point of service
in that section of the country. When
informed Of the discovery of the gold
coin Father Butler took possession of
the money, claiming it as his, and an
nouncing that. he had buried it there
years ago.
1t was during the afternoon recess,
when the scholars poured into the
schoolyard and commenced romping
around the refuse which was being
taken from the basement of the church
that the wealth was discovered.
Father Butler was not at the parish
house when the discovery was. made,
but he returned when the work Of car.
| rying the money into the schoolroom
by the children was going on. His as,
constituent knew no bounds when he
| beheld the large pile Of glittering gold
on the desk. He recalled having bur
led the money shortly after the church
had been erected.
Later he explained that he had in.
| herited the money from u brother, DR.
Butler, in 1873. The money panic dur
ing that year was at Tits height, ane
believing the banks unsafe he buried
the money $4,000 under the church
and long since had forgotten Of Its s.r
iStence.
The dates on the coins bear OF 1 his
statement, as all bear the da0b o.
years prior to 1873. "
