A Beresford Story.

A story of Lord Charles Beresford's
early exploits in Parliament crops up
again. An old county member, sadly
troubled by gout, made a practice of
retiring to one of the benches under
the reporters gallery, behind the
speakers chair. His habit was to take
off his boots, which he placed under
the bench, lie down at full length. and
doze securely under the shade Of the
gallery till his rest was disturbed by
the call for a division, when he would
slip on his boots. Lord Charles Beres-
ford observed the place where the
honorable member had put his boots,
and when he was sound asleep took
away one, which he hid When the
division came the victim was com
PEELED to leave his seculsion and walk
into the lobby with only one boot on,
amid the roars Of good-humored laugh

AN UNKNOWN PARAGON.
Women Seem to Think . Man May Bs
Too Good.

Too Good.
Women are proverbially careless
about discussing domestic matters In
public. Two of them were seated in
a Chestnut street car yesterday morn
ing, says the Philadelphia Record,
talking about the probabilities of a
marriage between two of their friends.
One said: "He is fine man and a
good man." "Oh, yes," replied the
other, but he doesn't 60 to the the.
ater, he doesn't dance, nor. smoke, nor
drink. What would she do with man
like that?' He doesn't eat meat or
drink coffee, either" chimed in the
first speaker. Il should be afraid he
wouldn't be cheerful" "Of course, it
doesn't seem kind to criti~ise a man
for his virtues said the conservative
woman, 'but, then, it is risk to
marry man who is not in touch with
his generation. 1t would be a strain
to live up to his standard" "Wen,
I'm not the one that wants to marry
him." "Nor am t. Just then the
conductor called out Fifteenth street,
and they got off, without once men,
tioning the name of this paragon, to
the great regret of several other wo-
men who had been interested listeners.
Il don't believe there ever was such
man. commented one elderly ma
tron. The others shook their heads
gravely, as though they, too, had their
doubts.

Machinery Here Is Not Permitted to
Last Until Out-of- Date.
An experienced railroad man, writes
has the following to say regarding
English railway methods: 'It is sin
gular, to say the least, that the Eng
lish railway managers have just dis
covered that American locomotives
consume more coal, use more oil and
require more repairs than those Of
their home make. If this is fact
it could have been demonstrated in a
trial lasting month. Over here we
wouldn't accept an English locomotive
as gift. 1t would be regarded as an
antiquated monstrosity. l fear the
British are beginning to feel a trife
sore over Americas commercial inva-
sion of all the markets of the world,
and the Midland railway people are
trying to knock us on our locomo-
tives." Continuing, the official said:
1.-THE chairman of the Midland made
one impressive statement, namely:
we tend our engines carefully, rest
them, clean them and do everything
to make them last In this country
we rest nothing, not even ourselves.
Bishop Cumberland's familiar saying,
1t is better to wear out than to rust
out, has taken hold of us, body, soul
and breeches. The Englishman rests
his hats, shoes, trousers, coats, horses.
carriages and whatever else he may
own, animate and inanimate. A few
advanced Americans have recently
adopted the practice of freeing their
shoes for rest, and the result Is long
er wear without losing shape. Some Of
our locomotives are never allowed to
cool off from one years end to another.
Little wonder that they do not live to
be classed among the antiques"

Reward of One Penny.

Honesty is its own reward" is the
new shape in which the proverb pre-
sents itself to Harry lies, mason liv-
ing at 67 Lower Thorn street, Reading.
Recently picking up a purse in the
street containing E320 in notes and
gold, he was going to take 1t to the
police station, when work was over,
but about half an hour afterwards was
adressed by man understood to be a
commercial traveller from London. who
proved himself to be the owner. lies
handed over the purse, the man gave
him a coin, and was far away before
the other could realize that he had
been rewarded for his find with-one
penny.

The famous necklace of the Countess

at aution to French jewelry dealer

Paris succeeding in securing all of
them, thus giving him possession of

The countess was an eccentric charac-

her house and never let the light of
day shine on her, contenting herself
with candles and gas. At the same
time she abolished mirrors from her
