In 1861, when Mr.. Lincoln was on his
way to Washington to be inaugurated
as president, his train stopped at ROch-
ester. Pa. n station on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. Mr..
Lincoln aliChted from the car to stretch
his long limbs by walking on the sta
ton platform. His identity became
known TO the townspeOple assembled
there, and friendly conversation with
him ensued.
In reply to n reference to the threat
ening political outlook he said. 'Oh, no
one has been hurt yet"
Seeing a tall man in the crowd, Mr..
Lincoln remarked that he and the man
were of about the same height and pro-
posed that they measure. They took off
their hats and stood together, back to
back, while some one placed n hand
above their heads and found Mr.. Lin
coin to be slightly. the taller.

One day Andrew Carnegie at Pitts
burg called UP one of his New York
lawyers by long distance telephone.
The SHOEMAKER wanted to ask n
question, but could not make himself
understood clearly over the telephone,
so he asked the lawyer to come to
Pittsburg.
The lawyer said he had an important
appointment in New York next day and
could not get away.
Come over now, then" Mr.. Carnegie
said.
Cant get train," answered the law
yer.
Hire n special" was the answer
which came back from Pittsburg.
So the lawyer engaged a special
train, went to Pittsburg and saw Mr..
Carnegie.
The SHOEMAKER asked the lawyers
advice as to whether the question trou-
bling him called for yes or mo"
The lawyer answered, mo"
Thank you," said Mr.. Carnegie.
GOOD night"
The lawyer had said less than 81
words, for which he received $1,000,
said Good night, Mr.. Carnegie" and
took n special train back to New York
in time to keep his appointment next
day.-New York Herald.

A Successful strntagem.

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chile. a stratagem was
resortcd to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part
of the natives and TO maintain the con-
nection between the strongholds on the
frontier. There were at the time be-
tween 40 and 80 captive Indians in the
Chilean camp. General Pinto. in COM
mand of the operations. called them to-
gether and, pointing to the telegraph
wires, said:
"Do you see those wires?"
Yes, general"
81 want you to remember not to so
near or touch them, for if you do your
hands will be held, and you will be I'M
able to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wire ct
both ends of an electric battery in full
operation, after which he exclaimed:
II command you to let go the wire"'
81 can't! My hands are benumbedI'
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them to
liberty, giving them strict instructions
to keep the secret. This had the de-
sired effect. for. as might be expected,
the experience was related in the
strictest confidence to every man in the
tribe. and the telegraph remained un-
mOleStCd.

ALIrTLE KNOWN ART.
The Tobacco FIsvorer Has Short
Hours andsDraws Big Pay.

Hours andsDraws Big Pay.
"a high grade position of which but
little is known. except to the trade, /"
observed a prominent tobacco manu-
facturer 10 a Washington Star reporter,
sis what is known as the 'iavorer,' the
man who is responsible for the flavor
of all the grades of goods made and
who sees TO il that the flavor Is Kept
the same year in and year out. 1t mat
tiers not where the tobacco that goes in
them comes from or the conditions IN
der which it has grown. OF course to-
bacco manufacturers endeavor to use
the same kind of tobacco all the time,
but circumstances at times render this
impossible.
"As an illustration, our company had
bought up and stored away enough to-
baccO to make up all our brands of
smoking tobacco and cigafettes for the
year, when all of a sudden our store
houses were destroyed by fire, and our
stock went out of existence. There
was no more tobacco of that particular
grade TO be bought, and we were driv-
en- into new fields. The tobacco being
raised on different soil and being
slightly different as far as seed and
stem were concerned, the favor was
also different. Smokers, and chewerS
as well, insist on the same favor all
the time.
Here Is where the flavorer comes in.
BY his art and skill he can make to-
bacco that grows on low lands taste
and smell the same as that grown on
high lands. He can make tobacco
grown during a dry season take the
same flavor as that grown during the
rainy season. Tobaccos grown at diff
ferent ends of the same state or in diff
ferent states are by his treatment the
same, as far as the consumer is con-
cerned. He draws big money; but,
though he comes high, as the travelling
show companies say, we must have
them
''As may be imagined, there are not
mauy who are competent to do the

The Professors Escaped Bacteria.
He was apparently an old man, wore
large spectacles and carried a small
satchel. Across the satchel was label
ed, Professor Redd. Chicago" He en-
tered the waiting room of a suburban
station and deposited the satchel care
Iessly near the ice cooler. Suddenly
those near saw the satchel fall and
heard the sharp tinkIe of breaking
glass. The old man picked up the glass
and muttered EXPLANATIONS of distress.
ITO think brought them all the way
from Brazil" he said.
"what were they?" inquired some
one in the sympathetic crowd.
"Germs!'
''What?''
Bacteria OF a strange Brazilian fe-
YER"
"Quick, man! Crush them with your
footv'
81 can't, sir. They are now floating
around in the air"
There was a moment of horror. Then
there was a rush, and little'later the
old man was the only occupant of the
waiting room. A window was raised
from the outside.
"Just let them out easy. Pete" eau
toned a voice.
And the bogus professor obeyed.
Satchels, grips and cases went through
the window. After he had finished col
lecting the professor followed the
booty. His false beard fell back in the
room. but he did not attempt to reclaim
1t. The arrival of their train prompted
those outside to venture in for their
baggage. 1t had vanished, and the
black beard told the tale. - Chicago

The Old Time Doctor.

when 1 was young fellow" said
the man who notices things, 1.-The fam
lily physician attended to all the ills of
the family, and the specialists of the
profession were wholly unknown. The
country doctor was a surgeon as well
as a physician. He was almost always
clever and usually had remedies of his
own invention for common ailments. A
large number of the successful patent
medicines now before the public are
prescriptions of the old time country
physician. 1 could name a dozen such.
"Old DR.. Hill, who was the leader in
the town l grew up in, was called into
the country by an urgent message one
night. He wasn't advised what the
patient was suffering from and upon
arrival found it was an liberated tooth
that was subjecting its owner to al
most unbearable pain. Not n surgical
instrument did the doctor have with
him. and his office was seven miles
away. Did he send back for his in
struments? Not much, He extracted
that tooth with an ordinary hammer
and nail to the complete satisfaction of
his patient and himself. I'll wager he
made a mighty good job of it too."-
