Not Unreasonable,

There lives in a Massachusetts, town
a young woman whose courtesy never
deserts her, even In the most trying mo-
ments. Not long ago she stood swaying
back and forth, holding to a strap In q
crowded electric a on a rainy day.
A young man who stood next her had
a dripping umbrella with which he en-
phasized his remarks to a friend. AS he
pounded 1t down on the floor of the car

-sachusetts sent his sol to us, and we
all grew very fond of him, for he was
a bright and extremely modest youth.
In fact, his modesty vas so marked
that we often talked about 1t among
ourselves. One day there came to the
school a party of distinguished visit
ors, and the principal called up a num-
Der of the brightest boys in order to
question them. Among these was
young Crane.
Robert, who is the Governor Of
Massachusetts, inquired he, turning
TO the boy suddenly.
The youth thought for a time and
then answered: 4 am sure 1 don't
know
"'You certainly don't mean to tell
me you do not know who the Governor
Of your WI State is?" replied the as
tonished man. Think a moment
longer
"I am sorry, sir, but 1 really don't
know answered the boy.
why Robert, your father is the
Governor of Massachusetts, exclaim-
ed the bewildered principal.
"'Yes, he told me that himself once,
answered the boy in the same quiet
manner, but 1 never believed it. 1
thought he was only ~strknging me.'"-

Lord Derby Defeats eoraIma.

Lord Derby defeated Boralma at
Hartford, Conn.,. in the big match and
won $4,000 for his owner. E. E.
Smathers of New York. The race was
for $4,000 a side, and the Charter Oak
Association guaranteed a per cent of
the gate, which was not to be less
than $4,000, and the winner was to
take all.
1t is estimated that $4,000 people
saw the race. They paid a dollar at the
gate, with an additional dollar for
the grand stand, to say nothing of the
boxes. AS the winner was to receive
60 per cent of the gross receipts, it is
certain that the sum won by Lord
Derby will exceed the original $50, 900,
thus making the princely sum by far
the largest ever won by a trotter in
one race.
AS contest, the race was disap-
pointment, for Boralma after the first
heat was decidedly off and pulled,
lugged and rolled in his gait. In the
third heat he went to bad break

could have shut him out in this heat

Alexander Dunsmuir died soon after
his marriage. leaving the great bulk
of his estate to his wife, but when
Mrs. Dunsmuir was on her deathbed
an agreement was reached between
her and the premier by which she
agreed to forgo her claims in con-
sideration of a certain sum of money.
Mrs. Hopper, who is accompanied by
her legal adviser, Judge Coyne of San
Francisco. holds that her mother was
not in full possession of her faculties,

also declares that the fact that the

BRIEF AUTHORITY.
Highest Omeers In Government Have
but Short Terms.

Dut short IermS.
When Mr. Arthur was president he
once said to John NJ. Wilson, then a
major in the regular army: "Presi-
dents may come and presidents may go
but the army runs on forever" A few
weeks ago Wilson, as brigadier-gen-
eral. retired from service as the head
OF the engineer corps of the army. He
had entered West Point as cadet if
teen years before Mr.. Arthur had been
heard Of outside the politics of New
York, and his active work ends fif-
teen years after that presidents
death. The fact illustrates the truth

phrase which might have been applied
to other branches OF the government

dent drops quickly out of the larger
life Of the nation when he quits office.
Senatorships. on the other hand, are
longterm offices. Most of the sena-
tors have become prominent in the
public life OF state or nation before
they are elected, and when they retire
they are often appointed to important
offices. Federal judgeships are offices
of still more permanent class. Presi-
dent John Adams appointed a chief
justice who lived to administer the
oath Of Office to Andrew Jackson; and
his successor appointed by Jackson,
administered the oath to Abraham
Lincoln. Already Chief Justice Full
