Reckoning Without His Host.

A little story from the Atlanta
Constitution seems to. indicate that
Tennyson is not a name to conjure
with always:
. A poetical traveller, stopping at a
Georgia inn, dismounted from his
horse and called to the landlord,
who was lounging on the veranda::
"Wrinkled ostler, grim and thin,
@. Here is custom come your way;
Take my brute and lead him in;
Stuff his ribs with moldy hay"
!. ''Ef you say that ag'in," said the
landlord, <I'll lam you side the head
with this hickory! Thar's a boy
here to look after the hossesl"
my good mar" explained the
traveller, 81 meant no ofense. I

The Turn of the Sheet.

Two lord chancellors Of England
made the turning over of a sheet OF
note paper a device for executing
their neatest joke. Lord Chancellor
Eldon, having been asked by a cler-
ical friend to give him a certain iv-
ing, wrote on one side Of a sheet of
paper:
Dear Fisher-I cannot today give you
the preferment for which you ask. l re-
main your sincere friend. ELDoN.
Turn over.

yesterday.
Sir John Sinclair, who had done
much for the agriculture of Eng
land and Scotland, thought the ma
ton should present him with a testi-
monial and wrote to Lord Chancel-
Tor Erskine, inviting him to sub
scribe to it. On one side Of a sheet
of paper Erskine replied:
My Dear Sir John-T am certain there
are few in this kingdom who set a higher
value on your services than myself, and
have the honor ta subscribe

BANKN0TE THREADS.
Thu Thing Counterfeiters Find Most
Difficult to Initiate.

One Of the officials connected with
the secret service branch of the
treasury department, recently dis
cussing the methods of counterfeit
ers, stated that in spite of their
great skill and industry they had
never been able to make a bill which
did not have one or more vulnerable
spots. Perhaps the feature of good
treasury notes which counterfeiters
have found it most difficult to imi-
tate is the two blue silk threads
which run lengthwise through them.
TN the first place." he said, "the
silk threads are put in the paper
when it is made at the factory. To
make paper of the kind used by the
government requires big plant and
lots Of capital, so counterfeiters are
kept out Of it. Even if they had
the necessary money they wouldn't
be fools enough to risk it all for the
chance Of making bogus bills. It
would be exceedingly improbable
for a paper manufacturer who all
ready has factory to make the pa
per, because to do so is a peniten-
tiary offense."
The writer was then shown two
dollar bill which had a single thread
running through its center. '"This,"
continued the secret service man, lis
the only bad bill that I ever saw
with a silk thread in it. Even this
has only one thread instead Of two,
so it would not be dangerous to
skilled teller. I have never heard Of
more than two other bills like this
one. It is easy to see that the coun-
terfeiter split this note, put in his
thread and then pasted the tWoI
parts together again.
''The frayed edges show that. the
fellow must have been very stupid
not to know that genuine money
has two threads instead of one. An
expert can easily tell when bill has
been split in two and pasted togeth.

not deceive him. !" New York Her

How an Elephant Eats.

An elephants digestive functions:
are very rapid, and the animal there
fore requires daily a large amount
of fodder, 600 pounds at least. In
it's wild state the elephant feeds.
heartily, but wastefully. It is care
full in selecting the few forest trees
which it likes for their bark or foil
age, but it will tear down branches
and leave half Of them untouched
It will strip off the bark from other
trees and throw away large por-
ton.
As it is a nocturnal animal. it Sc
lects its trees by the senses Of touch
and smell. Its sense Of smell is So.
delicate that a wild elephant can
scent an enemy at distance of
1000 yards, and the nerves of its
trunk are SO sensitive that the small
est substance can be discovered and
picked up BY its tiny proboscis.
An elephants palate is. very deli
cate, and the animal is whimsical IN
selecting or rejecting norsels Of
food.

Z A TeleSraplaer's
( Story " @ -

Dick Ramsey and I, after learning
telegraphy, had gone west together
land taken positions at neighboring
railroad stations. Ft&
One afternoon there came fran
tic call at the wire, and I hurried to
the instrument to hear Dick tapping
off the words that the express train
had been delayed and to hold the
Runaway" due at the station ten
minutes later, until I heard from
him. Directly after the message
came the line: express train in
sight. Something wrong. Stand
by" ] waited a full minute; then
came Dicks familiar tap tap: 'FEx-
press is being run by strange hands.
They have stopped at this station.
Send relief"
There was seconds silence; then,
before [ could flash the alarm along
the line, the tapping began again.
1t ran: Everything all right. Good
by"
I signaled for him to repeat the
message, and again came the words {:
"Everything all right. Goodby.''
I held the instrument in my hand
and debated with myself upon my
course of conduct. [ did not want
to needlessly send the alarm along
the line. On the other hand, why
had Dick sent his first message? !
touched the instrument and asked,
fIs everything all right, Dick?"
And the answer came back, Every
thing is all right -.
It did not seem at all like Dicks
touch, but I laid it to nervousness
and quoted my fears while l waited
for the Runaway"
I recalled that Dick had told me
over the wire the previous evening
that the runaway" would have a
large sum Of money aboard, which
1T was to transfer to the express at
his station.
"ACl IlCs lila dy SdllC up, !
notified the engineer that the ex-
press was waiting for him at Lake
vile, and / also casually mentioned
that the alarm had come from there,
but that afterward I had received a
message that all was well.
He seemed disturbed and advised
me to repeat the story to the United
States marshal aboard, which did,
with the result that the train pulled
out Of the station epared for emer-
gencies, though neither they nor |
thought anything Of the hasty mes
sage that had been flashed to me.
Ten minutes later the message
came over the wires from Lakeville:
Found train in charge Of highway
men. Dick Ramsey murdered at in
strument. Object was to rob the
runaway, but we oyerpoWered them
after desperate struggle. Notify
the stations along the line to send

To Cut Glass With Shears,

A sheet of glass-a window pane,
for example-can be cut as easily as
a sheet of cardboard. The secret
consists in keeping the glass, the
shears and the hands under water
during the operation. The glass can
be cut in straight or curved lines
without break or crack. This is
because the water deadens the vi
brations Of the shears and the glass.
If the least part of the shears comes
out of the water, the vibration will
be sufficient to mar the success of
the experiment.

walk hurriedly away in the direction
of the churchyard, journey which
I often took myself.
Scarcely realizing what I was do
ing, I pulled my cap over my eyes
and started after hiSp. What ex-
cuse I would make if he turned and
saw me I knew not. I only under
stood that some force was pulling
me onward and that same force was
taking me over the same road and in
the very footprints of President
Croydon Of the Lakeville and Laska
railway.
To my surprise, he turned the
corner as he reached the church,
and, Flooding his way past it, open
ed the gate which led into the
churchyard and slowly wendell his
way among the graves. Noiselessly
I followed him. Through the mar
row paths we went, he the sub
stance, I the shadow close after him.
But, horror Of horrors, he stop
ped! And, my God, he bent over
Dick Ramsey's grave! Lower and
lower he sank until he was upon his
knees and his hands were spread out
upon the sod. In the uncertain light
Of the rising moon I could see that
he threw back his head, that his
face was drawn and deadly white
and that his lips were moving.
I must have stepped upon a twig,
for a sound betrayed me- Spring
ing to his feet, he turned and faced
me, not ten feet away.
With a cry of rage he sprang to-
ward me. $50 you followed mel"
he cried fercely between his teeth.
'FYou logged my steps!'
He was a powerful man, but in

+ This, in brief, was the story Of
the death Of Dick Ramsey, and after
! had seen him laid away in the
graveyard at Lakeyille I packed up
my goods and journeyed farther On,
for could not remain SO near the
scene Of my old friends death.
Well, strange things happen, and
after I had found a position with
the same company fifty miles away
I was assigned back to Lakeville.
I found the village grown into a
settlement Of very fair size and the
simple little station replaced by a
very pretentious one, while the hum
Bile little churchyard where they had
buried poor Dick Ramsey was gay
with Towering shrubs, and spires Of
marble lifted themselves here and
there among the trees. Dicks grave
was still marked by the rude cross I
had placed over it. H.
The president of the road was a
self made man. Often he did not
go up to the city, and on these occa-
sions he wired me on his private
line, and I wired to the city for him.
One day, CHANGING to sit at the
instrument, there came call on
the presidents wire, and, respond
ing, l received this message: 'Iet
me know if the road is clear" S..
A minute later l called up his pri-
vate wire and tapped, 'The road is
clear"
Call right" came back the an
swer.
It was a simple enough message,
but it set my pulses throbbing. Me
chanically I touched the button and
repeated the message, ''The road is

sat at the instrument like a man
in dream, and my thoughts we're
with Dick, who had sat at the same
spot five years before and had touch
ed that same instrument. What was
there in that reply that SO fascinat-
ed me, or was it the anniversary OF
poor Dicks death that made me
fanciful?
That afternoon the president
came down to the station on bust,
ness, and looked at him closely
He must have seen me watching
him, for he shifted his position un-
easily and nervously handled the in
strument. j may say that he was an
expert operator and preferred tele
graphing his messages to writing
them.
He seemed i'll at ease that day,
and | withdrew my eyes and busted
myself elsewhere. But more than
once he caught me looking at him.
Twice that day the PRESIDENT
drove down to the station, and slow
" he drove home again, as though
he were disturbed about something.
The third time he came it was all
most dark, and I heard him send his
goodman home, telling him that bel
would follow soon on foot.
For half an hour the president
busted himself around the station, a
most unusual thing for him, and
