led the way into part OF the chamber
where the rock overhead sloped down
lower. Here lay some old whisky bar
rels, two or three lager beer kegs and
the iron hoops Of several barrels that
had been burned. There were several
one gallon jugs with corncob shoppers.
Pole swept his hand over them with a
laugh. "If you was drinkin' man, /

Pole heaped his pieces Of pine against
a rock and added to them the chunks
of some barrel slaves, which set up a
lively popping sound like tiny fusil-
lade Of artillery.
"You see that rock behind you, Mr..
Craig?" asked Pole. "Well. set down

ENGINE DRIVERS ARE Modest.
Are Not Disposed to be comml NEGATIVE
About Themselves.

OF the men who sit In the cab Of a
locomotive and turn the machine loose
In a race Of 100 miles in 100 inutes,
1t is said that they are the mos: modest
individuals Of the human family, says
the Chicago Tribune.
This is fact said to be clearly
shown by talk with any Of the Chi
cago engineers who have any such rec
ord. It Is evidenced not so mu ch from
what they say, when questioned, as
from what they do not and cal not be
induced to say.
For not two men in q dozer Of fast
runners are given to talking about
what they have accomplished. Much
less are they inclined to pass a1y opin-
ion Of the capabilities Of any other en-
gineer.
Take it all in all, the men who ride
the iron horses in races that are ap-
palling are the oldest characters In the
jumpers Of mechanic. A short time
ago, special train was char tered to
make fast run down the country. The
engineer, in taking coal at station,
was delayed by the coal chute apron
becoming unmanageable. Tie man
who sat in the cab ahead was as cool
as an iceberg, but no sooner had the
apron been hoisted out Of the way than
he opened up the valve and began a
race that, for speed and sme otiness,
was one Of a thousand.
Arriving at our destination" said
the conductor who had charg. Of the
train, the engineer found awaiting
him a telegram from the general su-
perintendent of the road, who Iaid him
the highest compliment that all official
could extend to an employee. The
man read the telegram, and showed 1t
into the pocket of his blouse, without
change of countenance. No one,
from looking under the peak OF his
cap, could tell what sort OF feeling
had been awakened, even II 1t affected
him at ALL" .,-5
A fast runner, being approa ched by
an outsider who wants to know some
thing about the life of an engineer,
will invariably be asked to see 80 and
So who Is another engineer on the
same run or division.
Hes a mighty good engineer and
can tell you more Of what you want to
know than I can," and then he goes
about his putting steed feeling for hot
places and poking long spou'ed oiler
under the machinery. It Is ten to one
that the other man will get out Of 1t in
The same way.
Few engineers who have been found
out as fast runners will make any COM
parison of any kind of their rims with
those of other engineers. There is one
thing, however, about which sn engi-
neer Of this class is "touchy." Suppose
he has made a fast run, but Las been
laid out or delayed from one cause or
another. He invariably wants that de-
lay deducted from the total tine of the
run.
Railroad men say that the longer
man runs an engine the longer he
wants to. He Is in love with his dan
gerous calling, and he is a veritable
duck out Of water when once ne real
ICES that he is laid of for all time.

3a' The craze for doing things In auto
mobiles broke out in a new channel
when a young man and woman drew
up to the curb in front OF churcn
rectory and asked the minister If he
would marry them while they remained
in the automobile. The minister
promptly told them that he would not,
and that If they wanted to be married
they would be obliged to come into the
rectory. This appeared to surprise the
couple, but they went In.

The Potomac River Belongs to Maryland.

In Hsgerstown last week Judge
Witzenbacher gave an important de-
cision determining the status Of the
Potomac river between West Virginia
and Maryland. His decision is to the
effect that the title to the bed Of the
river to high water on the Virginia
shore is in Maryland and not in the
landowners Of West Virginia. Sever
al weeks ago John Reid, Of Berkeley
county. W. Va, was granted tempo
rsry injunction restraining John For
sytbe and others Of Willismsport, Md,
from erecting fshpot across the riy-
er at Willamsport on the ground that
it caused the water 10 food Reid's
land and made the public ford impss-
sable. Judge Witzenbacher decided
that under the charter from King
Charles to Lord Baltimore the nver
became the property Of Maryland.
whose ownership continued TO the land
marking usual bigh water on the
West Virginia bank, and that the
fats on Reid's land was part Of the
river bed and belonged TO Maryland,
and be therefore dissolved the injunc.

l did for him and left me by the road
side to die. Let the Tiger eat the
man, for men have no pity"
Three out of six had given judgment
against the Brahmin, but still he did
not lose all hope, and determined to
ask the other three. They next met
an Eagle flying through the air, TO
whom the Brahmin cried:
"Oh, Eagle, great Eagle, hear and
give judgment !"
The Brahmin stated the case to the
Eagle, but the Eagle answered: d:"When-
ever men see me they try to shoot me;
they climb the rocks and steal my
little ones. Let the Tiger eat the man
for men are the prosecutors Of the
earth /"
Then the Tiger began to roar, and
said "The judgment of all is against
YOU, Brahmin !" But the Brahmin
answered, "stay yet little longer,
for two others must be asked.
After this they met an an Alligator
and the Brahmin related the matter
to him, hoping for favorable verdict.
But the Alligator said Whenever
I put my nose out of the water men
torment me and try to kill me. Let
the Tiger eat the man, for as long as
men live we shall have no rest.
The Brahmin gave himself up as
ost, but again he prayed the Tiger to
have patience and let him ask the
opinion of the sixth Judge. Now, the
sixth Judge was Jackal. The Brah-
min told his story, and said to him
"Jackal, Jackal, say what is your
judgment ?"
The Jackal answered: 1T is impos-
sible for me to decide who isright and
who is wrong unless see the exact
position in which you were when the
dispute began. Show me the place
So the Brahmin and the Tiger has
tened to the place where they had first
met, and the Jackal went with them.
When they got there the Jackal said;
Now, Brahmin, show me exactly
the place where you stood"
Here, said the Brahmin, standing
by the iron cage.
Exactly here, was it?'
Exactly here said the Brabmin.
"Where was the Tiger then?" asked
the Jackal.
"In the cage, answered the Tiger.
How do you mean?" said the
Jackal; chow were you within the cage?
Which way were you loOking?"
why, stood 80, " said the Tiger,
jumping into the cage, "and my head
was on one side"
Very good" said the Jaokal; "but
l cannot understand without knowing
the whole matter exactly. Was the
cage open or shut"
"Shut and bolted," said the Brah-
min.
"Then shut and bolt it, said the
Jackal.
When the Brahmin had done this,
the Jackal said: "Oh, you wicked and
ungrateful Tiger When the good
Brahmin opened the cage door, sit to
eat him the only return you would
make? Stay there, then, for the rest Of
your days, for no one will ever let you
out again. Proceed on your journey
friend Brahmin. Your road lies that
way and mine this.
So saying the Jackal ran off in one
direction ard the Brahmin went re-
joicing on bis way in the other.

His benevolence is of the aggressive
type; he grudges time spent on rich
peoples only reconciled to them, in
fact, because they offer up gifts In re-
turn for health, and in this way great
sanitarium has grown up where the
prince is nearly as well treated as the
peasant folk, his own people, that the
Pfarrer loves. This is the only truly
democratic community I have ever
lived ina pure democracy governed
by a benevolent despot.
The despot is past 20 years old; he
has an aldermanic figure, a rough
peasant head, and extraordinary bris-
tling white eyebrows, standing out a
good two inches from his penthouse
brows. His coloring is like an old Eng
lish country squire's, brick-red skin,
bright blue eyes and silver hair. He is
a prelate; so his rusty black cassock Is
piped with purple silk, and he wears a
tiny purple skull-cap His two insep-

cigar and a white Spitz dog.-Maud
