But the worst about the whole matter

HAD LOTS OF NERVE.
Thrilling Experience of a Youthful
StOwaWay.
Came TO America in the Boiler Of
Donkey EHEiEe-FOund
Friend and Was Permitted
10 stay.

Riyaling the tales of mythical for
tune hunters is the experience of a
little Austrian stowaWay in one of the
boilers of the Umbria, upon its recent
arrival in New York. After the lad,
who is 16 years old, had Travelled
$4,000 miles in quest of America. he at
last was placed in the hands of friend
who promised 10 care for him.
The boys name is Bozo Gacino, and
he comes from Dalmatia, a province
of Austria. His wanderings began
more than year ago. when his father,
a small farmer, gave him 100 tiorins
and told him TO go TO America With
great glee the little Austrian left the
village of Sebenico, for he and his el.
der brothers quarreled continually,
and he had a friend in America whom
he lOnged TO join. After spending 80
of his tioTins, he reached Triest, the
seaport, where he fell in with an oblig-
ing fellow, who, for the remaining 20
forms, agreed to embark Bozo for
America. Bozo gave up his forms,
and the stranger disappeared, leaving
a discouraged little lad to return to
Dalmatia.
Gacino's father then apprenticed
him to a druggist, but the boy soon
wearied of long hours and smallwages,
and ran away TO Triest. where he hid
in steamship bound for Egypt. AT
Alexandria he slowed away in the
Fabyan and reached Liverpool a week
later. Then he crawIed into the hold
of the Cunard SaXonia. Upon reach
ing New York last spring he was de-
ported, after he had Obtained a tieeting
glance of the busy harbor. When he
was taken back 10 Liverpool he evaded
the English immigration officials. and

LittIe of Brain Is Used-

Much of the larger portions of q
brain is composed of white matter
that is, of nerve fibers-which has
nothing whatever to do with real
brain work and which only carries
messages, says an exchange. Again,
if research is to be trusted, it is only
the brain cells of a very limited
probably the frontaD region which
have to do with the highest mental
operations. When, therefore. we talk
about the size of head and brain and
the weight of the brain, we should
clearly understand that only an in
finitesimal fraction Of the three
pounds weight or so of an ordinary
brain can be reckOned as represent
ing brain cells-that are the agents
of our nervous gOvernance. Practi-
cally the brain cells (of the cerebrum
of great brain at leastl bear no
larger proportion to the brains mass
than the rind of a Dutch cheese does
to the eatable portion.

A Revered Fathers" Joke.

A prominent Episcopalian clergy
man who lives in Mount Airy, and
whose severe clerical attire and
smooth-shaven face frequently give
rise to the belief that he is a priest
Of the Catholic church, is chuckling
over an experience that befell him
the other day. Il was going 10 the
city," he said, "and seated directly
in front of me in the train were a
young Irish couple and a little child.
The little one was very playful and
peered roguishly at me over the back
of the seat. From flirting with the
little girl got into conversation with
the parents, and | noticed that to my
questions they would reply: Yes,
father, or no, father Finally the
mother plueked up sufficient courage
TO remark: You seem very fond Of

sioner of immigration Sargent finds
place to transfer Ryan.
at was within the last two months
that Ryan was made Inspector at
Cleveland, and his appointment came
as a surprise to Ohio Republican lead
eTs al Washington. oenator Hanna
knew nothing about the matter
until two or three weeks after the
appointment was made, and naturally
was chagrined because he had not
been consulted upon the filling of a
federal office in his own city.
'For nearly three years. up to few
months ago, the office of immigrant
inspector at Cleveland was vacant.
About three months ago Prof. Ryan
decided to go about the Job and enlist
ed the aid OF an old friend IN Wisconsin,
a newspaper editor name Black. The
Editor wrote to Senator Spooner. re.
questing that he use his powerful infiu-
ence with Assistant Secretary TayIor
of the Treasury Department, who has
supervision over the immigration Bu-
reau, and who is also a Wisconsin man.
The Senator laid the matter before
Mr.. Taylor, and just about that time
the Treasury Department received A
request from Cleveland TO reopen the
inspector office. This combination
of circumstances moved the Assistant
Secretary to act in Ryan's interest,
and the appointment was duly made,
although unknown TO Senator Hanna
or any other member Of the Ohio dele
cation in Congress.
"Jere A Brown, who is now slated
to supersede Inspector Ryan. has been
IN Washington about a year and half.
He obtained his present position
through the influence of Mr.. Hanna.
AS immigrant inspector he will get a
salary of s., 500 or 1900 year"

eye open for an America-bound ves-
sci.
June -, just before the Umbria
sailed, he crept upon the deck. looking
for a hiding place \ lantern was
flashed in his face, and tke sentry, be-
lieying he was one of the cabin boys,
ordered him below. Without realizing
his danger the boy crawled into a
boiler which furnishes steam 10 the
donkey" engine. This boiler was not
used throughout the voyage, or the
boy would have been burned to death,
Friendly stokeTs discovered his pres
ence, but instead Of disclosing his Se-
cret. they fed him during the voyage.
Thursday, however, Mckechan, the
refrigerator engineer, climbed on top
of the boiler and proceeded to hang up
some of his washing to dry. Just as the
engineer was preparing TO descend he
was startled to see a head bob up out
of the opening in the top Of the boiler
and then disappear again. McKechan
crawled over 10 the manhOle and peered
into the darkness inside the boiler.
He could dimIy discern the outlines OF
a person, and he shouted to him to
come out.
Receiving no response the engineer
attempted 10 reach inside and seize the
boys clothing, but he was severely
bitten for his pains. The engineer,
convinced that something was wrong,
went to Chief Engineer Hardy. After
struggle and some tight squeezing
past the tubes they managed to get
their prisoner up to the manhoIe en-
trance, and he was pulled out.
All laughed when they saw the sup
posed lunatic. He was locked up in the
steamships hospital and when the ves-
sci reached port a vigorous search for
the bold lads friend was made. lie
was found in Harlem and signed papers
which permitted the young Dalmatian
20 remain in the United States.

How to Read history.

Perhaps the best way to read history
Is to take up the life Of some great fig
ure that attracts our Imagination and
be drawn by that into the study Of the
general stage upon which he was only
a single actor. Certainly it is not a
good plan to begin with those elabo-
rate documentary histories in which
you cannot see the wood for the trees.
1t is better to be wrong in a few Of
your facts or even contract q bias from
some partisan historian than to lose
yourself in morass Of documents,
says Success.
The best histories are the widest.
II they occasionally lead you astray,
you can always correct them by the
more sober colored chronicles. Macau-
lay may have been prejudiced, and so
may Froude, and SO q doubtedly was
Carlyle; so, again, W., Gibbon; yet,
none the less, these are the great his
torians, the historians who set you up
on the peaks Of time and enable you
to see history as it lies beneath in wide
views and broad masses.
