The hanson was the invention of 10
seph Hanson. the architect Of the Biz
mingham town hall. But the two
wheeled cab which he patented in 1884
little resembles the vehicle which now
bears his name. 1t had square. sedar
chair shaped body hung between two
wheels nearly eight feet high. The
drivers seat was in front. as also wat
the door. The fare entered the cab be-
tween the wheel and shaft. The mod
ern hanson was adapted from this
original by Messrs. Gillet and Chap
man. 1t is a peculiarly English vehi
Gle. and no foreign nation has evel
comprised the logged courage Of the
Briton who can sit calmly inside it.

Mark Twain in his youthful days
was q. reporter in Carson City. 1t was
hig duty one evening to report a meet
Ing of the city council, whose president
was a ponderous statesman given to
sounding words and intellectual confu-
SION. A motion was made to expunge
from the records a certain matter
which the presiding officer was ex-
tremely anxious should not become
part Of local history. The motion. hav-
Ing been seconded, was eagerly passed.
1.-THE matter has been ordered ex-

Gilman gravely, land the clerk will

the effect Of his sentence of annihila-

will you have the expunged matter
deposited and placed?"
Mark Twain caught the attention of
the councilman nearest him. ''Let the
expunged matter be worn under the
chairman's hat" he suggested. mo one
would ever think OF looking there for
anything"

FOR THE HOUSE FRAN


1t Is one thing to have a chair and
another to know how to sit on it, The
ideal Of a graceful sitting posture has
varied in the different ages of the
world. The Egyptian sat bolt upright
the knees and feet closely pressed to-
gether. 1t was the ceremonial atti-
tude. The Greeks and Romans, when
they were at liberty to forget their
dignity, sat STOPPING, with one or both
elbows supported by the arms of the
chair
The Chinese ideal was with the
knees and feet wide apart. They have
maintained that attitude in sitting for
400 years. The SaxOns and early Nor
man kings are represented in old
manuscript and on coins in the same
position. Down to date compare
lively recent, kings and queens re-
ceived sitting stiffiy on their thrones,
any marked change of posture being
thought to derogate from the royal dig
nifty. They now receive standing

he remains tramp or hobo to the
present day, Notwithstanding his ele-

Upon receipt of the charges Gov
