TELLrALe CHAIRS
their Significance in Accordance with
Their Relative Positions.

their Significance in Accordance with
Their Relative Positions.
Chairs are great pantomime per-
ormers," said one of group in the
.otel lobby to a New Orleans Times
Democrat writer. II mean," he ex-
planned, that they have gonderful
powers of expression.
Look at those two, facing each other
n the corner. The one nearest US, II
you will notice, stands perfectly
straight and stiff, while the other Is
twisted around trifie to the right, and
we know by that token as plainly as II
we had witnessed it that they were
lately occupied by bore and his vic
tim. The bore squared himself in front
Of the poor fellow and proceeded to tell
the story of his life. The victim
writhed and squirmed, and when he
finally escaped the record of his travail
was written legibly in the furniture.
Now, that pair of chairs by the desk
tell quite different tale. and one could
almost say that they were engaged In
pleasant conversation at this very mo-
ment. Observe the confidential angle
Of the arms. l have often encountered
chairs arranged like that, only more so,
On the piazza of summer hotels early In
the morning after moonlight night.
They fairly reeked with romance! 1t
would be impossible, by the way, to
place chairs in such a position deliber-
ately. You couldn't do it to save your
neck. The effect depends upon very
subtle combination of lines impaired
by the occupants.
Did you ever go into room where
a poker party had been playing stiff
game all night and notice the way the
chairs stood about the tables? In nine
cases out of ten they tell the story OF
the wind-up as clearly as it could be
done by types Several years ago l
was at a hotel in a little town on the
Texas and Pacific, when a fellow was
shot In a. quarrel In one of the rooms
ON the second floor. He had been in
q party of three who were playing
cards, and when l went up to look at
the scene of the tragedy, very shortly
afterward, was struck at once by the
of the chairs. They
formed a dramatic tableau. One
hugged the table, and had evidently
been occupied by the chap who looked
on. The other was thrust back several
feet, at an abrupt angle, as If whoever
sat there had risen suddenly, and the
third was overturned in pool Of blood.
One could not have asked for better
record Of what had happened"

ACCIDENTS LESS FREQUENT
Travel on American Railroads Is Safer
than Ever Before.

Travel on American Railroads Is Safer
than Ever Before.
There are $4,000 fiagmen, switchmen
and line watchmen employed on the
railroads Of the United States and the
primarily to the security of passing
trains. The use by them of lanterns at
night and flags by day, while desirable
In small way as a measure of prOtec-
ton, especially at crossings, Is by no
means SO important as the signal lights
which are displayed from towers and
which are regulated by telegraphic
communication maintained along the
line Of track. Under the signal rules
adopted by the American Railroad AS
sociation, the application of which is
general not only throughout the United
States, but In Mexico and Canada as
well, a red light whenever displayed
signifies danger and calls for a stop; a
green light cautions and commands $50
slowly;" white indicates safety and
commands go ahead" A blue flag
by day and a blue light by night dis.
played at one or both ends of an en-
gine. car or train signifies that work
men are engaged on or about it. When
thus protected it must not be disturbed.
One effect of the more general use OF
uniform signals has been the steady
reduction of the number of fatalities
on American railroads. the total mum.
ber of which is now considerably less
than it was ten years ago, though In
the meantime railroad travel has In
creased enormously. The total number
of passengers carried on American rail-
roads In a year Is not far from 100000,
600, and the number Of fatalities to
passengers average less than $50, OF
less than one two-thousandth Of pei
cent. While the number of passengers
carried is increasing, the number oil
accidents is diminishing In consequence
of the fact that while some railroad
accidents appear to be absolutely una
voidable, serious accidents entailina
the wreckage of trains and wholesale
disasters are very much less frequen,
than formerly. The adoption and main,
tenance of a complete system of rail-
road signals entails considerable ex
pense upon railroad companies, but II
is much more than made up by the
advantages attained, which include
greater security in travel, high rate
Of speed for passenger trains, much
diminished danger of track obstruction
and practical diminution In the mum
Der and success of suits brought fol-
damages. The work of making trava
safe on American railroads is goina
ahead even faster than Is the work Of
railroad building, actively resumed

FabIe by Uncle Ell.

A woodman who was passing through
the forest came upon a bear who wal
rolling over and over on the grount
and uttering the most dismal com
plants. Bruin had one eye closed, and
was covered from head to heels witt
Jumps and knobs and knots.
"What cheer?" gayly cried the wood
man, as he drew near.
"Beesv' moaned the bear.
'But nature gave you a coat Of fur Il

By that time all was excitement. The
third and last trial was at hand. The
old man gave a frightful tug, every
muscle and vein in his neck stood out.
and all the force of his back went into
the work. So the machine when read
registered 1,O7O pounds. The alleged
strong youth looked at 1t with a sickly
smile. He tried to better it, but failed
dismally. The old man was declared
the champion of the park.

VERY Trifline Incident.

A clergyman was called upon to per-
form marriage ceremony for couple
in middle life.
"Haye you ever been married be-
fore?" asked the clergyman of the
bridegroom.

s'Have you ?"-to the bride.
''Well, yes, 1 have" replied the bride
laconically; "but it was twenty years

SOME OF REWARDS TRICKS.

He Sometimes Outwits the Hounds
When Pursued by Them.
Not long ago the Washington hunt
of Valley Forge started young fox
in the North valley hills, and the
hounds were running it across the open
fields when the hunters were surprised
to see a much larger fox come from
the woods and run diagonally across
the track Of the young fox ahead of
the hounds, and when they struck the
stronger track of the bigger fox they
took it up, young Raynard thereby be-
ing saved from being run down and
killed by the hounds.

Fell Short OH Her Ideal.

When schoolgirls grow confidential
with one another they sometimes, am
told, describe the sort of man who cor
responds to what they call their "beau
ideal" Did you ever happen to hear
what Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas was
credited with saying on this topic?
When was at school," she remarked.
81 used to VOW that there were three
kinds Of men l never could be induced
to marry. First, never would marry
a man who was younger than 1. Sec
ond, l never would marry a man who
was shorter than |. Third, i never
would marry politician. Well, l kept
my VOW, except that in marrying Mr..
Douglas married man who was not
quite as old as |. who was not as tall
as l, and who was one of the most
prominent politicians of his day."-New
