The Tourist and the Porter.

An English tourist stopping at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel was discussing
the relative merits of British and
American railway service the other
evening, when he suddenly sprang the
following clincher on his cis-Atlantic
cousin:
Il tell you, though, there's one point
you folks are behind in, and that is
the lack of consideration shown white
passengers in having them pass in
spection by an African. Why, the idea
o. such treatment is an insult to any
gentleman.
"a few days ago. when boarding
your famous Empire State Express
train, was chagrined, to put it mild
ly, to be asked by liveried colored
man to show my ticket to him. l SUBJ
sequently learned that this same in
dividual is nothing but train waiter.
Such thing could not happen in my
country."-New York Press.

Burial of Sir Walter Scott.

1t was bleak and stormy autumn
day, with an impenetrable gray sky
frowning over a lowering landscape,
when the mile-long funeral process
sion set forth from Abbotsford. With
one common voice of woe the coro-
mach of nation walled over the hills,
the sad gray land being all in keeping
with the nodding of black plumes and
the slow pace of the horses. says a
writer in the Book-Lover. The road
traversed on his last long journey
had been one of Scotts favorite drives,
and the most pathetic incident of all
was the pause of the cortege on the
brow of Bemerside Hill. The horses
that drew his lifeless body were the
carriage horses, and not knowing their
master was dead, they stopped of their
own accord at the spot where Peter
Matheson had always drawn them up,
that Sir Walter, from where he sat,
might look down and enjoy his favor
ite view. Every mourner noticed the
unexpected pause and the eyes of the
grown men filled with involuntary
tears when they learned the reason.
Thus they buried Sir Walter Scott;
and Caledonia, stern and wild, re-
ceived into her arms her marvellous,
well-loved child.
Gilpin observer., 1904-03-03
Childish Fears.

Once we have outgrown childish
thoughts and ideas, 1t is hard to real
ize the agonies we suffered as children
over trifles that now seem SO foolish.
Not even the wisest mother knows the
bugbears of her child's life. 1t is
astonishing how silent a child may be
in regard to some haunting ghost Of
his early years; 1t may have been a
certain face. a dog. haunted house."
or simply the dark. It is mistake to
scold child for these terrors. which
are very real to the quaking little
heart, for, though from shame he is
silenced. he suffers just as keenly, and
is apt to brood over them. Reason
with him and show him how foolish
and uncalled for are his fears.
Gilpin observer., 1904-03-03
Matrimonial Arithmetic.

"My son." said the old gentleman
in his fatherly way. you have a
good deal to learn about matrimonial
arithmetic. AS you say, your salary
is sufficient for two, and you think
you clinch the argument when you
add that one and one make two.
That's all right in business. but mat
rimonial arithmetic is one Of the most
confusing things that ever happened.
In the first place. the minister takes
the two of you and makes you one.
That would seem to make 1t easier
for you, but the history of the world
shows that, figuring matrimonially.
one and one make any old number up
to twelve or sixteen, and believe
there are records that show a higher
total. In view of this, can you make
the requisite showing with yorr pres
ent salary and future prospects?"

Mining in Ancient Times.

In Pliny's Natural History. written
in the first century of our era. occurs
the following: Gold is found in our
part Of the world, not to mention the
gold extracted from the earth in India
by the ants, and in Scythia by the
griffins. Among us It is procured In
three different ways; the first of
which is in the shape of dust. found in
running streams, the Tagus in Spain,
for instance, the Padus in Italy. the
Hebrus in Thracia, the Pactolus in
Asia, and the Ganges in India. Indeed
there is no gold found in more per-
feet state than this. thoroughly pol
ished as 1t is by the continual attrition
Of the current" Mining by means of
shafts is not new. but was known in
Pliny's time.

Why He Was Sober and His compa-
MONS to the Bad.
A tall man stood at the bar with a
party of friends long after midnight.
He was the only sober one in the
bunch. His steadiness angered the
others. A final round of drinks was
ordered. The tall man asked for gin.
mo GIN" said the least drunk of the
others to the bartender. Been trying
to get him full all night. Maybe ginll
be only water. Last try. Give i'm

Make it whisky, then," said the tall
man.
The sober mans hand carelescly
dropped down to his coat pocket, and
as carelessly was raised to his lips
Nobody noticed it but the bartender.
After the drinks the tall man put his
companions into cabs and then re-en-
tered the cafe.
What was that you ate just before
you took that drink" asked the bar
tender.
"Raisins, my boy, raisins," said the
customer. They've been my saliva
tion. l have been a rounder all my
life, have drunk many men under the
table and have never been seen to
stagger. The secret of it is that early
in the game 1 learned that raisins
taken into the stomach before drink
will absorb the alcohol and prevent
it from exciting the brain. In all my
drinking bouts l keep good supply OF
raisins in my pocket, and they have
carried me through grandly."-New

Useless self-Pity Makes Us cowards.
No Man Should Play the Baby Act.
Each Ones Burden Fashioned to
His Shoulders.
In some form of other we are all
burden-bearer says the "Parson" in
the Washington Post. Sometimes the
weight presses hard. And in no re-
spect is there a sharper difference be-
tween men than in the way in which
they carry their respective burdens.
What, then, is the secret of successful
turden-bearing?
In the last analysis much depends on
ones fund of courage. Most of us are
tempted to whimper over our burdens.
We say to ourselves. if not to others:
Il can't carry another ounce. I've had
sickness in my family for long while,
or I've been suddenly called upon to
support distant relative" or "Tm
bearing more than my share of respon-
sibility in the church or in the club,
and can't stand it much longer" Then
before we know it the habit Of self
pity grows upon us and instead of fac
Ing our burdens like heroes we draw
back from them like towards.
beautiful woman, one of the army
of "shut-ins," and herself wasting away
with consumption, said to me when a
boy: God will never put anything
uron you too heavy for you to bear. ;"
The years have confirmed the truth of
that prophecy. Certainly no man ought
to play the baby act because of his bur-
dens. He may undertake of his own
volition to do too many things at once,
but the things which are put upon him
to bear by a higher power he ought to
stand up to man-fashion and not be
perpetually whining about them in pub
lie or bemoaning them in private.
1t helps, too, to look upon ones fell
lowmen and realize that each is carry
ing burdens, too. You are not the
scapegoat of the human race while ev-
erybody else moves through life dane
ing and singing like mountain brook.
But very few people have as much to
carry as do" Doubtless you think so,
but you have probably forgotten the ia

wearied with the grum bling of his sub
jects, at last bade them all to assemble

bringing each his own greatest burden.
When they had come together he COM
manded that all the burdens be massed
In one great pile
Then by lot he selected one man to
help himself from the pile to the bur-
den which seemed to him the lightest
and most agreeable. After walking
around the pile and looking carefully
at all the other burdens. he selected the
very one he had brought. So did No. 2
and No. 3. and so on through the list.
Finally all went silently home with
their old burdens, but with contented
hearts. There is deal of philosophy
in this ancient tale. You are better off
with your own burden than you would
be with your neighbor's. 1t was fash
ioned for your shoulders. And the time
may come when you may even be fond
of it
