why They Needed a Ladder.

H H. Vreeland, the president Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
Of New York, is the son of a clergyman
the Rev A. H. Nreeland-and some
times, says The Detroit Nevs-Tribune
he 7ells the following story Of his father:
one morning my father made an
address before a Sunday school. ia
cob's ladder was the subject that ne
chose TO talk on. and after he had told
that beautiful biblical story he said 10
the listening children:
is there anyone here Who has any
questions to ask about jacob"
There was q silence. Again my
father asked:
is there no one here who wishes to
ask some questions about Jacob, and
h ladder. and the angels ascending
and descending?"
This time a little girl said timidly:
"'Why was il. sir. since the angels
had wings, that they needed a ladder
TO ascend On?"
Before a question so Intelligent and
ingenious my father naturally was al
a loss. He could think Of nothing to
reply. so TO gain time he said:
The question I have been asked is
a good one. Can anybody answer it?
Come, ~now-surely some little boy or
girl can answer this question. Why
did the angels have a ladder when they
We're endowed with Wings
A little boy in the back of the room
piped out:
Maybe they were melting, sir"

The Man of the Elect Flock.

written for The Charlotte Observer.)
Here is to the man who does not be-
long to the common herd, and his name
is legion.
One hot night. three years ago, a
travel-weary thrOng, a half a hundred
strong. surprised the Carolina Hotel at
Wrightsville Beach, and asked for
rooms. The house was already full,
but it was Saturday night and the late
arrivals had nowhere else to go. They
must be cared for. The clerk. Mr..
Smiley Pleaseall. urged everybody TO
register so that he could see what he
was up against. Like the good hotel
man that he was. he had a pleasant
word for one and all, rich and poor.
saint and sinner.
We're very much crowded, madam,
but we'll do the best We can" he would
say as some fastidious old maid would
scribble Down her name and ask al
sorts of questions.
Again: Step back. gentlemen, let
every one register and then l can get
my bearings"
l was in the crowd that begged fol-
lodging. and I did not feel like taking
pot-luck fare. l was determined to
make an effort TO get the best TO be had
under the circumstances. and, I think
from what l discovered later. that such
was the purpose Of each of my fellow
travellers. We. every one keeping his
or her own counsel, were going tc
bully. cajole or persuade the clerk.
After putting a bug in the gentle
mans ear I stepped aside with the all

In quoting some of Judge Taft's
opinions, he referred to him as a man

himself odious in the Philippines"
He declared that there are so many
