query that IL a natural successor to tho
old riddle, Where do the niea 70 In
winter" The old OvercOats seem
somehow to fade away, no one knows
Just how. The overcoat starts It's ca.
reer on the back Of its owner who paid
S4O for II. II keeps him warm and
shelters him from cold winds and from
storms until II commences to get fray
ed at the edges and the pockets arc
torn down the sides. Then the owner
uses the coat for rainy days only, and
no more does he take II to call on his
hancee or to recllne on the back OF Q
chair while he ia reading at the club.
He keeps II another summer, and the
moths get into II, and when he takes Il
out In the fall II has holes here and
there. SO the owner gives II TO the
Jahtor, II tho Janitor IL not a cold,
naughty man, and the janitor wears Il
awhile until his wife gives II to the
tramp who wheeled out the three bar
rels OF ashes. The tramp wears II until
the old coat commences to fall apart.
Then he gives II TO another tramp, and
1t falls apart still more. And then
some day the coat has entirely disap-
peared. No one knows how or when.
The coat Just simply faded away.
That's all anybody knows about it,

his days were certainly numbered By .
few weeks at the most. He had not
been known as a man OF strong reli.

against him. 1t was one Of those deli
cate cases In which It Ia hard for the
minister to do anything. Some one
suggested to Rev. Paul Weyand, then
stationed at Morningside. that he make
a call upon the patient.
Going to the house. he found the man
propped up in bed to relieve q smother
ing sensation. The sick man could
scarcely talk above whisper. and Rev.
Mr.. Weyand began TO make subtle IN
quiries about his spiritual welfare.

Mustn't "Own" Their Enwine..

The railroad engineer who "owns''
his engine IL not In favor with his su.
periors. Complaints about trlvinl mat.
tiers are likely to be made against him,
and soon he finds himself without a
berth. The phrase owning an engine
does not mean that the engineer has
acquired title to his iron horse. The
expression Is used OF man who has
been with certain engine 10 long that
he becomes a part Of It, He knows Its
every peculiarly, he feels lts every
protest against heavy load, and he
nurses 1t and coddles II as II Il were
his child. He dislikes to run the en-
CINE at top speed for fear something
VIII happen to II, and In consequence
his train Is frequently behind time. He
takes grade at half the rat0 he should.
and he runs cautiously down hill. In
a word, he GOWNS" his engine.
or course this Is all very nice and
ldylllc, and II IL the kind OF thing a
person likes to read about In stories Of
the railroad. But plain, practical rail
rond men look at It differently. They
argue that the best engineer IL the man
who never fails TO run his train accord.
Ing to his running time, the man who
h never behind and seldom ahead. 80
II comes about that the engineer who
makes a master Of that which should
be his servant wonders who has a
grudge against him. But It isn't a
grudge; It's business. New York Mail

a correspondent OF London NJ. A. r.
tells story Of the Duchess of Mont
rose whose beauty Is no less renowned
than her philanthropy. The scene was
a bazaar where the duchess was selling
photographs. One old ScotohwOman
was very anxious 10 secure a photo
graph Of the duchess. but the price ask.
cd was shillings. The old woman
hesitated. She wanted the photograph,
but she could not well afford 30 much.
"You can have my husband" said
the duchess, with an amused glance at
the duke standing near, "for Is. Cd"
The would be purchaser looked at the
duke and then at his photograph con.
temptuously.
"Half a crown" she blurted out. II
wouldna give silver saxpence for
him. But" she added insinuatingly,
II am right willing TO give hauf a
Groom for your bonnie sep."
The duchess was unable to resist
this, and herself added the other half
crown to the bazaar Golfers, or, as an
other version OF the story goes, the de-
spised duke proffered the balance.

A Russian gentleman tells funny
story of his lrst encounter with the
English language.
The day after his arrival In London
he made a call ON II friend In Park
lane, and on leaving the premises in
scribed In his notebook what he sup
posed TO be the correct address.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again, he called cabmau
and pointed to the address that he had
written down. The cabman looked
him over, laughed, cracked the whip,
and drove away without him.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus
sian turned Indignantly to the police,
with no better results. One officer
would laugh, another would tap his
head and make motion Initiating the
revolution OF a wheel
Finally the poor foreigner gave II up,
and, with a great deal Of difficulty,
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before, found his way
to his friends house. Once there, and
In company with one who could Under
stand him, he delivered himself Of a
hot condemnation OF thu. cabmen and
the police Of London for their imperti-
hence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for look at the
mirth provoking address, and the
mystery was solved. This was the
entry:
