"FIRiNG" lISkUM

Liskum was the butt" Of the 10
cap' room Of the daily on which he
worked, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He
was dried-up, wrinkled little chap,
who might have been either 20 or 60
years Of age. Whatever went wrong
about the office was laid to Liskum,
and whatever was attributed to him
he accepted without a murmur, only
smiling crinkly little smile that won
the hearts Of the whole staff. For.
joke him as they might, every reporter
on the paper had a tender spot for
Liskum.
One day Tompkins, the "star" re-
porter, came in to find the group about
the big stove in the local room indig-
nantly discussing something.
"Liskum had been fired" some one
told him. There was a great fuss
about the third ward story in this
mornings paper"
"Why, 1 wrote that myself" said
Tompkins. 'Liskum had nothing to
do with it." And with that he started
for the managing editors room.
Mr.. Rockman sat by his fat-topped
desk; Askum stood opposite him.
Tompkins slowed down in an apollo
getic way, for he remembered that he
had violated precedent by entering the
editors room without knocking.
Come in, Tompkins," said Mr..
Rockman. You are just the man I
want to see.'
Liskum turned his crinkly smile on
Tompkins but spoke not a word.
II have just dismissed Mr.. Liskum
for that third ward story" said the
editor
II heard &c." replied Tompkins, but
I wrote that story myself. He had
nothing to do with it."
II know that" said the editor. "That
is why 1 dismissed him. A form1d-
able delegation OF third-ward people
came here this morning, and made It
very plain to me that something must
be done to soothe them. l knew Won
were such a fiery chap it would never
do to let you face them, so l brought
Liskum in and Indignantly dismissed
him from the reportorial staff. am
just now engaging him as assistant
city editor"
Llskum turned another crinkly smile
on Tompkins, and the star reporter
went back to the big stove in the civ
room.

right"

ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND.

Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.
Human nature may be more pro.
ductvely worked than a gold mine If
you know right method.
General Manager Chapman. Of the
indianapolis and Eastern Electric
Railway, recently utilized his knowl-
eoge OF human nature in a novel way.
His company had park, the soil of
which 1T wanted to plow up and pull
ver1ze thoroughly at small cost, at the
same time attracting some traffic to
the park. 1t therefore buried $500 in
gold coin In various parts of the park
and threw the place open to any pat
ron OF the street cars that wished to
dig, prescribing only that none but
small hand implements should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The
cars were thronged with amateur min
ers and by the time all the coin was
found the entire surface of the park
had been loosened up and reduced to
powder to an extent that no landscape
gardener ever saw equaled. The street
car company got its $500 back In fares
and at the same time got its park
thoroughly plowed for nothing.
Many will tenderly recall the old
school reader story Of the dying father
who called his sons to his bedside and
Informed them that, though the old
farm he was about to leave them was
worn out and had become unproduct-
I've, there was buried somewhere upon
1t great treasure and II they would
persistently dig for it they would sure
~ find rich reward. The sons digged
and digged and digged, turning the
old farm upside down and inside out
and, though they found no sign of the
gold they expected, their harvests Of
grain became enormous and their re-
ward was richer than they knew.
Through some peculiarly in our con-
struction we are willing to work ten
times as hard ito get something for
nothing" as to earn it In ordinary
ways.-Atlanta Journal.

and had narrow escapes in plenty. For
his heroic conduct he was offered a
briga der generals commission, which
he declined. He was the only Govern
or In the battle and Rhode Island re-
elected him to the position twice after
he had taken the field. During the
Peninsular campaign and the siege Of
Yorktown he also took part and added
to his reputation as a fearless and able
officer. He served In the United States
Senate after the war and is now pass
ing the evening~of his days at Nara
gansett Pier in his native State, which
he has served in so many ways and al
ways to its honor and glory.

William Sprague, Of Rhode Island, one
Of the most famous of the war Gov

comes of distinguished ancestry. His
uncle. William Sprague, served as Gov
ernor OF Rhode Island as a Democrat
In 1889 and later was United States
Senator. The family name for a CEN
tnry has been prominent and, more
than any other in the State, is known
beyond Its borders. Tho Spragues
have contributed handsomely to the
industrial and political life Of this
sturdy little subdivision Of the Union
and have pardonable pride in it's ad-
vancement and enrichment.
The Ex-Governor is remarkably nc
tive and keen of intellect for one who
| stands alone Of class who distin-
guished themselves in the eos. He is
IN his 10Th year, but as agile as the
well-preserved man Of 80. In 1860 he
was elected Governor and was, when
Sumter fell. the largest manufacturer
In the country. He cheerfully reljn-
pushed the supervision of his numcr-
Gus factories and foundrIes to fight in
the ranks Of the nations defenders. He
raised regiment, the First Rhode ISL
and Volunteers, and battery of artil-
lery, uniformed and equipped them at
his own expense and in other wavs
testified to his splendid devotion to his
fmperiled country. He hurried his men
to the defense Of Washington and his
regiment was one Of the earliest com
mands to reach the capital. In the first

displayed On that fateful field and

matters to the station master, who tele-
graphed for an engine to be sent from
Tai ouan to the Nankin line.
At three o'clock, just at daybreak, we
returned to wait for the engine at the
junction. Three-Quarters Of an hour at
terward it's whistle announced its APP
proach and it stopped at the bifurcation
of the lines. We climbed up on to the
tender, and half an hour later had re-
Joined the train.
The dawn had come on sufficiently for
us to be able to see over a considerable
distance. Without saying anything to
anybody, l went in search Of the body
of my poor Kinko. And l could not find
it among the wreck.
As the engine could not reach the
front of the train, owing to there being
only a single line, and no turning table,
it was decided to couple it on in the rear
and run backward to the junction. In
this way the box, alas! without the Rou-
manian in it, was in the last carriage.
We started, and in half an hour we were
on the main line again.
Everything ends in this world below,
even a voyage of six thousand kilometers
on the Grand Transasiatic; and after a
run of thirteen days, hour after hour,
our train stopped at the gates Of the
capital Of the Celestial Empire.

had made a hereby telegra ph-for the
readers Of the Twentieth Century.
We are, as have said, two hundred
yards from the valley of the Tjon, so
deep and wide az to require viadnct
from three hundred and fifty to four
hundred feet long. The floor of the
valley is scattered over with rocks and
q hundred feet down. If the train had
been hurled to the bottom Of that chasm
not one of us would have escaped alive
This memorable catastrophe-mosti inter
esting from a reporters point Of view
would have claimed a hundred victims
But thanks to the GOODNESS, energy and
devotion of the Young Roumanian, we
have escaped this terrible disaster.
All! No! Kinko has paid with his
life for the safety Of his fellow passen-
gers.
Amid the confusion my first care was
to visit the luggage van, which had re-
manned uninjured. Evidently, if Kinko
had survived the explosion, he would
have got back into his box and waited
till put myself in communication with
him.
Alas! The Golfer is empty-empty as
that of company which has suspended
payment. Kinko has been the victim of
his sacrifice
And SO there has been a hero among
our travelling companions, and he was
not Faruskiar, this abominable bandit

whose name l have 80 stupidity publish

1t. If he defrauded the Grand Trans
asiatic it Is thanks to that fraud that
whole train has been saved. We were
lost; we should have persisted in the most
horrible of deaths if Kinko had not been
there.
l went beck to the line, my heart
heavy, my eyes full Of tears.
Assuredly Faruskiar's scheme, in the
execution of which he had executed his
rival. ki-Tsang, had been cleverly con-
trived in utilizing this branch line leading
to the unfinished viaduct. Nothing was
easier than to switch off the train II an
