why, bless you, no, SIR said the
bell-maker. you always have to chip
a bell to bring it to the required tone.
Every bell, after it's done, has to be

Saving the Day.


General A. r. Chaffee, at a din
ner given in an actors honor, narrated
theatrical "reminiscences of his boy-
hood.
Il was born,' he said, Gin Ohio, in
the town of Orwell, and never will I
forget my first melodrama, which l
witnessed in the Orwell academy of
music.
TINS melodrama came very near go

was to be shot by twenty soldiers,
and the musket of the soldiers.
through some oversight or other, were
not loaded. The whole scene would
have fallen fiat had not the resource
full and ready villain saved the day.
You can imagine the scene: The
villain smiling scornfully, facing
without flinching, the twenty mus
kets directed at his heart by twenty
determined young soldiers The cap

to give the word to fire.

But the villain saves the day.
First, with blood-curdling howl, he
attracts the audiences attention to
him. Then he staggers, falls heavily
and throws his legs and arms about,
like one in the agony of death.
'T die he cries. I die, perforated
by thousand bullets; but take this
opportunity of cursing with my last

footistry.

''Palmistry is a good thing" said
palmist, land footistry is good
thing, too. There are lines on the
feet that are as rich in meaning as the
lines on the hands.
"The lifeline on the foot starts at
the base of the big toe. It travels
under the instep, ending, where long
life is indicated, far over toward the
base of the little toe.
IF this lifeline is broken in the
hollow of the foot it denotes a Sc
we're illness in middle life. If it ends
in the hollow of the foot, it denotes
death in middle life
There are a half dozen other lines
on the sole of the foot that correspond
with similar lines on the palm of the
hand. Whenever I want to give a per-
son a particularly good reading,
study his hand first, then supplement,
or prove, my work with a study of the
lines of his foot

mark.
She could not think of taking her
uncle to task about his table manners;
if she had, it would have broken the
poor old gentleman's heart. Instead
of taking him to task, she employed
a ruse.

Very well, uncle. You shall have
another"
The second knife comes. The uncle,
with a grimace, again remarks:
'Soapy, too, Mary. Just like the
first knife was"
Mary frowned.

city servants are SO careless. Try
eating with your fork. Maybe that

Works Hard for Completion
of Roads.

NEW YORK, Sept 4.-Since his re-
turn from Europe George j. Gould has
given much of his time TO consideration
OF the affairs of the Western Maryland
and the West Virginia Central rail-
roads.
He has been in daily conference With
Winslow s. Pierce and representatives
OF the Wabash and Western Maryland
engineering departments.
Beyond reiterating that he Will have
his Wabash extension to the Atlantic
coast completed and in operation with

declines TO talk of his plans for linking
the Western Maryland with his new
line into Pittsburg-
The necessary funds are provided.

The attitude of former President Ram
sey of the Wabash in the Little Kama
wha matter will have no deterrent effect
on our plans for extending the system.
Although George j. Gould Is not
demonstra tive person, il Is evident that
his break with JoecPh Ramsey. jr., has
stirred him considerably. and has
strengthened his determination to COM
plete his new railway construction in
the East with as little delay as possible.
