JOKE ON THE JOKER.
Eugene Field CIeverIy Victimized by a
Plotting Friend.

One day in Milwaukee, Eugene Field
was walking along with his friend,
George Yenowine, when the latter halt
ed in front of a booksnop and said:
"Gene, the proprietor OF this place IS
the most serious man L ever knew. He
never saw a joke in his life. Wouldn't
it be a good chance to try for that ex-
purgated Mrs. Hemans?"
Without a word Field entered, asked
for the proprietor, and then made the
usual request.
THAT is rather a scarce book" came
the reply. Are you prepared to pay
fair price for it?''
For just second Field was taken
aback; then he said: Certainly, GER
tainly; II know it is rare"
The man stepped to a, case, took out
a cheaply bound volume, and handed it
to Field, saying: "The price is IS.
Field took it nervously, opened to the
title page. and read in correct print:
The Poems of Mrs. Felicia Hemans.
Selected and Arranged with All Objec-
tionable Passages Excised by George
Yenowine Editor of Isaac Watts for
the Home The Fireside Hannah More
etc. with the usual publishers name
and date at the bottom
Field glanced up at the bookseller.
He stood there the very picture of sad
solemnity.
It'll take it, said Field family, pro-
ducing the money.
Outside Yenowine was missing. At
his office the boy said that he had just
left, saying that he was going to

WILL BE MODEL STATION.
What the Pennsylvania Is Planning
for Washington Terminal.

The management of the Pennsylvania
railroad is planning to make it's union
station, under construction at Wash
ington. the most complete in the world.
The terminal facilities will be models
OF engineering work, and all trains IN
and out of the capital city will be OPP
Grated under a system figured out after
study of the methods of every big
railroad in this country and EVrope. An
outline of the plan to be inaugurated
will soon be made publicly by the man
agement of the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore and Ohio roads, which have
charge of it's construction.
The system to be used is one devised
by a special committee for the purpose
appointed by President Cassatt, of the
Pennsylvania road, and President Muir
ray, of the Baltimore and Ohio. ]. T.
Richards, chief engineer of the main
tenance of way department of the
Pennsylvania, is chairman of the COM
mittee, and a portion of its report has
been sent to President CasSatt. The
committee was named several weeks
ago, and its personnel has been kept Sc
cret. The members visited the union
stations in New York, Boston, Chicago.
st. Louis, New Orleans, Detroit, and
Indianapolis. > 81
The committee of Pennsylvania rail-
road men recently in Europe, compos-
ed of \. H. Rudd, of the signal depart
ment; A. Keiser, superintendent of tel
egraph, and r. E. McCarty, general
superintendent of the Pittsburg lines
west, mas submitted a report TO General
Manager Atterbury, and their sugges-
lions Will be used in building the Wash
ington terminal. Many European ideals
will be injected into the handling of
trains in Washington.
The station at Washington will be
used by the Pennsylvania, the Balti-
more and Ohio, the Southern, the Sea-
board Air Line, the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac, ana the At
Iantic Coast Line railroads. To handle
them properly an elaborated system
will be necessary. The operating Off
GERS of the company decline to give out
any information until the report of the
special committee has been approved.
In handling the great nTNiber of
through trains it will be necessary to
have a large number of tracks into the
station building. Inasmuch as the trains
will enter and leave the city over so
many divergent tracks, it will be neceS- |
sary to have the highest type of block |
signals. These have all been provided
for and the officers in charge are |
awaiting the installation of the scheme. |
1t is estimated that while the plant |
will be the most expensive ever under |
taken, it will be the most economical, |
and will make it possible to handle the
increased number of trains in less time |
than that now required by the trains
using the present terminal facilities.-I

There is something radically wrong
