The Conductor Scored.

Some time ago several travelling
men we're sitting together in a cal
on a train which daily makes a
round trip over a certain division Of
the Boston and Maine railroad. One
of the number, the Boston Herald
says, had not only monopolized the
conversation, but from time to time
had poked fun at the quiet con-
ductor.
AS the train approached the Hav-
erhill station the travelling man
turned to the conductor, who stood
near by, and shouted boisterously:
"Say, George, what made them
locate the station so far away from
the village? ?"
n don't know" the conductor
gravely replied, "unless they thought
it would be more convenient to have
it down here near the railroad"

The Marquis of Waterford once
showed remarkable detective skill.
A robber who had broken into the
marquis house at Curraghmore, Ire
land, was pursued by him and fol-
lowed to a public house four miles
off.
There the robber had seated him
self among a number of men, who
were drinking and smoking, and not
one of them would betray him. The
marquis, however, was master of the
situation.
He insisted upon feeling all their
hearts, and as he was their landlord
and the great man of the county not
one dared to refuse. The man whose
heart was still beating quickly was
the robber who had just ceased run
ming.

GEORGE ". NO GENTLEMAN.
He Was Told SO Once, and at Another
Time He Proved IT,

When lord Liverpool was form
ing his ministry in 1922 he thought
it absolutely necessary to have Can
ming at the foreign Office, although
aware that the appointment would
be obnoxious to George ". The
Dnke of Wellington undertook the
unpleasant task Of communicating
Lord LiverpookS1 determination.
As soons as the hing knew what
was wanted of him. he broke out:
Arthur, it is. impossible. l said, on
my honor as a gentleman, he should
never be one Of my ministers again.
l am sure you will agree with me
that Z cannot do what / said on my
honor as a gentleman ] would not
do"
Another man would have been ST.
fenced, but the great soldier, always
equal to an emergency, replied:
pardon me, sir, but l don't agree
with you at all. Your majesty is not
a gentleman"
The bold assertion startled the
king, but the duke went on, "Your
majesty is not a gentleman, but the
sovereign of England, with duties
to your people far above any to
yourself, and these duties render it
imperative that you should employ
the abilities of Mr.. Canning"
"Well, Arthur" said the king,
drawing long breath, "if 1 must,
l must"
Although he did not like being
told he was not a gentleman, George
~ had once, at least, while regent
forgotten he was one. This was
when he flung a glass of wine in
Colonel Hamlyn's face, with "Ham-
Ign, you are a blackguardp
The insulted officer could not re-
turn the compliment without COM
hitting something like treason-it
was out of the question to challenge
the prince, while to let the insult
pass unnoticed was equally impossi-
bic.
The colonel filed his glass and
threw the contents in the face of his
saying, ellis majesty's
toast, pass it onp
"Hamlyn," cried the regent,
you're a capital fellow Here's
your health"
And they we're fast friends from
hat evening.
