A ticket collector on an English rail
way got leave to so and get married
and was given pass over the line
says the Kansas City Star. On the
way back he showed to the new col
lector his marriage certificate by mis-
take for his pass. 1'he latter studied
it carefully, and then said: "Eh, mon
you've got ticket for lang, weari
some journey, but not ON the Gale
DOMAIN railway.
There are 5000 requests for Mr.. Nc.
Kinley's autograph ON file in Washing
ton. 1t had been the custom Of the
late president to devote spare moments
to the qualifications of these demands
in so far as he could, but during a few
months absence or through period
when the president would be busily oc.
cupied with affairs of state, these let
tiers asking for autographs would pile
up.
Mrs. McWilliams. who was with
Mrs. Mckinley at Buffalo and after
ward accompanied the funeral party
at Washington and Canton, is the
favorite cousin of the presidents
widow. She is the daughter of the
only sister of Mrs. McKinley's father.
She was a Miss Goodman, and when
she and Mrs. Mckinley were young
women, it is said, they resembled each
other strongly.
The story is told of three Protest
ant ladies', who walked into a Catholic
church in Ireland during high mass.
1t was raining, and they had gone in
for shelter. The priest, ona OF natures
noblemen, recognized the women and
said to the attendant. Three chairs
for the Protestant ladies'" It was a
kindly thought, but the priest regret
ted 1t when the man stood up and
shouted: Three cheers for the Prot
estant ladies!" which were given.
An English paper publishes an 1ter-
esting yarn about a practical joke
played upon railway passenger by
his travelling companions. One OF
them stole the victims ticket, and
then they all persuaded them that the
best way to avoid unpleasantness with
the ticket collector was to hide under
the seat. When the ticket collector
received one ticket more than the
number called for he wanted explana-
tons. They were at once forth-com-
ing: "Oh, the other belongs to the
gentleman under the seat. He would
travel like that; we don't know why"
The paragraph from the Montreal
Star shows how sensitive Canada is:
"One Of the addresses to the duke and
duchess of Cornwall and York was pre-
sented by tive Indian chiefs and a
/ squaw, the chief wearing great plumes
blanket coats, with wampum orna.
ments and silver armlets. This circus
win, no doubt, be reported by the Eng
] fish press correspondents as some
thing eminently characteristic OF
Canada, and If these gentlemen were
told that their royal highness had seer
in this get up something that few
Canadians have ever seen. they would
probably reply, Walker"
The exchange of courtesies between
the kaiser and the car in the shape Of
colonelcies of guard regiments, is
something which the magnates in the
United States might emulate with pro-
MT. says the Kansas City Star. For
example, Mr.. Croker could be ap.
pointed honorary paragrapher of the
Commoner by Mr.. Bryan, and in turn,
Mr.. Bryan could be made an honorary
Tammany leader of the Eighth assem-
bly, district. The possibilities of this
scheme are magnificent. Mayor Reed
might ingratiate himself with Mr..
Dockery by naming the governor as
honorary superintendent of streets and
the governor could return the compli.
ment by making Mr.. Reed janitor ex.
traordinary of the state house.
