Tale Of Maryland Railroad.

~One Of the most unique railroads in
the country. said a travelling sales
man to a Baltimore sun man. was en-
countered by me on a recent trip
through southern Maryland.
The road is twenty miles long and
runs from BrandyWine. on the Pope's
Creek branch Of the Baltimore G. Po-
tomae railroad, in Charles county, to
Mechaniesville. in St. Mary's county
Its corporate name is the Washington
& Potomac railroad company. The
single train which runs each way daily
is made up Of the engine. one freight
car and one combination baggage and
passenger car. The schedule seems to
be a very liberal one and no hurry
is manifested in train movements.
The conductor OF the train, who
also acts as baggagemaster upon oc-
easion, is general manager Of the road.
He issues orders as general manager
and obeys them as conductor When,
as conductor. he thinks the schedule
should be changed, he notifies the gen
eral manager (himself). who, if he
thinks it advisable, makes up a new
schedule. and issues running orders
accordingly to the conductor (also
himself) and the latter obeys There
are no ticket agents along the route
that could learn Of, and the conduc-
tor collects fares as on a street railway
here, punching a hole for each fare
in a slip of cardboard. Then he gees
into the baggage ear. sees that the
trunks are properly delivered and
looks after express and mail packages.
Il was Obliged to take a long drive
in the country from one Of the stations
and was anxious to get back in time

Diree,loa Of Power Is an Element IN
Greatness.

Dlrection Of Power Is An Element IN
Greatness.
AS a powerful man is one who can
lift a great weight, so power Of mind
NAV be said Il be that quality which
enables people to do with comparative
ease what others find it impossible q
dimcult to do at all- Its principal ele-
ments are the power Of attention and
that Of application, which Is attention
in the active and not in the passive
shape. To be able to direct lhe
thoughts to given subject and ae-
cording to that most expressive Of
metaphors, to turn it over in the
mind. is one thing-to be able to SD
nit the mind passively to that which
is presented to 1t Is another Where
the two co-exist in unusual vigor they
may be said to constitute power OF
mind. In many cases the mere possess
sion and exertion Of this power makes
a man great-in others The possession
and exertion Of an equal power has not
the same effect, or at least IS not ae-
knowledged to have Ii. Il probably
took at least as much mental labor
as much application and attention to
compose Comyn's Digest as to CONF
pose Gibbons History Yet while eF-
eryone acknowledges the greatness Of
the historian. few people would ascfibe
greatness to the judge. The most Curl
Gus illustration Of this. however, is 70
be found in the case of mathemati-
clans. Newton Is acknowledged to
have been one Of the greatest men that
ever lived and Mr. Adams discovery
Of the new planet is universally looked
upon as a splendid achievement; but
the mere intellectual labor-the mem
tai force necessary to reduce the uis-
coYeries from which these remarkable
men derived their title TO greatness
from their original condition of con
lectures to their ultimate condition Of
truths scientifically ascertained. proba-
bly, did not exceed that which many
men have put forth in the same branch
OF learning whose names are remem-
bered principally by being labeled on
some formula like Taylor's theorem.
Part OF the explanation OF these cases
is that it is not the power alone. but
the direction Of the power also, by
which the question Of greatness is de-
termined; and this direction IS hardly
an intellectual process. The real great
ness Of Newton's achievement was not
that he did a very hard sum- and did it
right. but that he had an Imagination
so powerful that be could conceive the
possibility Of devising a classification
which should at the motions Of all

Old Time Indion Hunt

Charles Gipson relates the following
interesting account Of an old time In
dian hunt in the Creek Nation, says
the Dallas News
Some ifty-fve years ago the Creek
Indians would go on camp hunts that
lasted from November until May. On
these hunts it was common for them to
go as far as the Rocky mountains.
They tell Of seeing people who Travelled
on their hands and feet. and in this
way ran very fast. The young men
tried TO overtake them, but were al
ways left far behind In the race. They
tell Of seeing a species Of wild chicken,

The Players Story

day the manager hired a professional
circus performer to do the actual leap,
while the actor had to slip back under

by a safe but unr0mantic ladder to his
dressing room. The manager prOvid-
