An Tnfortunatc Ans1ver.

Of an official who died as the head of one of the Great Northern systems and who WAS one of the fathers of modern railr0&dln% the following story is told:
 Once. when master mechanic, he was staying in the country. An afternoon walk brought him to the edge of q c1t- ting through which ran his line. On a side track lay q waiting engine. The fireman and engineer were smoking placidly. while the safety valve was giving open evidence of the size of tie ire within. As the engine was doing nothing in particular, tl.is waste of coal reused the ire of thc man Cn the bank. .'Who is your master mechaalc3 he inquired of the !oaiiH% fireman
 "Oh. some gray bearded. halahraded cid blankety blank blank fool down in Boston" was the cheerful answer.
 We'll returned the other as not a muscle of his face changed. I'm that gray bearded, haldheaded old blankety blank blank fool from Boston, and you want 10 bank those fires. and bank them r. p. Q"'

Our First Horses.

The first horses imported into Amer ica, says London journal, were taken over by Columbus on his second voy- age in 1493. Thirty years later forty two horses were landed i'll Florida. but they all died soon after their arrival. De Soto who made an expedition to the new world in 1540-i1, left q number of fine Spanish horses behind him when obliged to quit the country after his conquest of Louisiana, and this stock is thought to have formed the founda- tion of the wild horse of the southwest ern states. In 1904 a French immi- grant brought to Acadia number of animals from which the modern Cana dian pony is thought 10 be descended. Horses from Flanders were imported into New York in 1925.

Garter Facts and Expectations.

A young girl, b1uShtn@ faintlI, re- marked at q theatrical performance the other night about the garter of I p..le blue silk that Il dancer wore below her knee.
 It bad luck, sAe said, "to wear ones garters in that way. It is also untidy, but principally it is had luck, and l, for my part, would hot do t. It is also had luck to wear white @arters- they signify death, and yellow ones sig nify jealously and love troubles. Car ters tied in q true lovers knot are the most fortunate ones. and if they are jeWeled that makes them still more for tunato. Suspendcr @arters have no bad luck attached to them, but they are not very pretty. After the true lovers knot the black garter, fastened with a gold buckle is tke luckieSt. My own garters always match my stockings, but you could never induce me to wear stock ings of white or yellow. iladelphia Record.

ResDonsibility of the Nurse.

A warning 70 mothers is conveyed in the recently reported cases of two chll- dren whose illness, diphtheria, was caused by playing with toys which had been us~d by q little one who died of the malady fifteen years ago. The play things had been put away in an attic trunk, and the children had come on them wn:le rummaging ihere on rainy day This emphasizes the fact that ev- cry woman who has charge of children during q malignant sickness bears re- sponsibility that is important, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
