When Mr.. George Roberts was pres

The conductor, who knew Mr.. KIDD

sharply. "You have not looked at my

"But | know who you are" said the
conductor.
"That has nothing to do with It," re

"Come, Gomez said the conductor
"If you haven't a ticket, sir, you mus

President Roberts made last hasty
examination and then, taking a i've
dollar bill from his wallet, paid bis
fare from Philadelphia to New York
and the incident was closed. He had
left his pass In his office.

AS matter of fact, there Is no need

A QUEER COACH ROAD.
Passengers Pay Their Fare ana
Work Their Way ms Well.

In the old days Of canal voyaging
captains Of boats were not infrequently
asked to give q wayfarer a lift. The
man was asked II he was willing to
work his passage. If he said Yes he
was put to work driving the horses. In
Europe, 1t seems, similar custom Is
practiced on paying coach passengers.
In the Pyrenees there Is coach road
between two villages, one on each side
Of q mountain 1900 feet high. After
the coach has proceeded a little dis
lance and reached the steep part OF the
ascent the conductor begs the passen-
gers to get out so as to ease the horses.
They are even requested d push be-
hind and help the poor animals to drag
the huge vehicle uphill.
When at last the summit Is reached
the traveller wiping from his forehead
drops Of sweat as big as kidney beans,
congratulates himself on the breezy
ride down the steep slopes Of the de-
scent which awaits him.
There Is where he makes n mistake
for the conductor, with a sweet SMILE
begs the gentlemen to be kind enough
to hang on to the coach behind and act
the part Of Westinghouse air brake
or else the horses may be injured.
In this manner the terminus OF the
line Is reached, the passengers having
pushed the coach all the way up one
side Of the mountain and held 1t back
all the way down the other.
In spite of this there Is rush for
places on the coach daily, as there has
been for half q century.-Spare Mo-

HEART PROVERBS.

He that hath no heart ought to have

A happy heart is better than full
purse.
What comes from the heart goes to
the heart.
He who hath most heart knows most
Of SORROW
A cheerful eountenance betokens a
good heart.
No estate can make him rich that has
q poor heart.
The hearts testimony is stronger
than thousand witnesses.
A glad heart seldom signs, but a
sorrowful mouth often laughs.
The heart is the hidden treasure Of
man; the tongue is the gate to the
treasure.
A good heart is the sun and moon;
or, rather, the sun, for it shines bright
and never changes.
There never was a heart truly great
and generous that was not also tender
and compassionate.

THREE FISHERS"
The Incident Which Moved Kingsley
to Write the Poem.


Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers" as O result of the many sad
sights he had seen at Clovelly. One
day of horror In particular lived In his
memory, a day, as he described 1t,
when tie cid bay lay darkened with
the gray columns of the waterspouts,
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale, and the tiny herring
boats fleeing fYo:I their nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy even
from those iron walls OF rock than
from the pitless bowling waste or
spray behind them. and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shrleking women and old men, casting
themselves on the pebbles in fruitless
agonies Of prayer as corpse after
corpse swept up at the feet of wife and
child. till In one case alone single
dawn saw upward Of sixty widows and
orphans weeping over those who had
gone out the night Def ~ In the fuil-
ness Of strength and courage" These
scenes lived ever In his mind
But the "Three Fishers" was written
as q result Of one Of the strangest incl
dents In the stormy career OF the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preached
O sermon in q London church on THE
Message Of the Church to the Laboring
Man" At its close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for
babe Kingsley to preach again in bis
diocese until, having read the sermon
and seen It's author, he withdrew the
edict. The same night upon which he
delivered his discourse Kingsley went
to his home weary. There had nearly
been riot in the church. Sick at
heart, he retired to his study. When
he reappeared he handed to his family
his immortal song, 'as though 1t were
the outcome of 1t all" as his wife said.

Traits of Turkish Nomads.

The Yuruks assert that human souls
return into the bodies Of animals and
that the spirits of the latter take also
human form and appear at deter
mined epochs. This is certainly the
reason why they are SO kind to AMI
mails. A Yuruk loves his horse as
much as his family The horses have
their place under the tent, and it Ia
not uncommon to see them warmly
wrapped In a magnificent robe when
the Yuruk and his children are Gov
cred with rags.
Some other customs attest also pa
gan origin. In the orient everybody
knows that the Yuruks worship GER
tain trees and rocks. These facts yield
sufficient evidence that monotheism Is
by no means the essential dogma OF
their religion.

PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN.
They Not Only Do the HouseworN'
but PIow the Fields.

They Not only DO inc
but Plow the Fields.
The sewing in the kimono consists OF
one small and one long stitch, species
Of artistic basting. There Is reason IN
this. for whenever the kmono Is wash
ed 1t is ripped to pieces. This Is per
haps why the japanese, who Dathe
daily. wear such dirty clothes. while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes,
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
ont soap. scrubbed with brush ana
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards. One Of the sights of town
are these boards, with their strips or
silk leaning against the sides OF the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
Homework. but out of door work as
well. Like the coolies, they wear trou-
sers and stand knee deep in the slush
Of the rice paddles. guide the water
buffaloes at the pillow or bind up the
straw to dry on the trees. This Is the
Japanese idea Of a haystack and makes
the trees look as If they were wearing
skirts.
One of the novel sights is the old
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as a lawn
mower and stopping now and then
to gossip over their tea. Both in China
and Japan the tending Of silkworms
Is not only done by women, but Is re-
Carded as an elegant duty. In China
each year the empress inaugurates II
ceremonially, as the emperor does the
spring blowing. In each country the
other important industry-the tea
growing is largely in the hands OF wo-
