A Story.

Mrs Bayard Taylor tells an Interest
Ing story OF Thackeray In her memoirs
ION Two Continents" The Taylors
met Thackeray In London soon after
their marriage. Mrs. Taylor writes
that she found confirmed In his person
the characteristics which l had guessed
at from his works-a warm heart under
the mask OF scathing satire. On the
occasion of a small dinner which he
gave us he said to my husband, after
the gentlemen had rejolned the ladies'
in the drawing room: BY the bye, |
must give you a wedding present.
What shall 1t beT Then going to an
etagere he took down a silver inkstand
and gave it to his friend, In spite of the
evident d~ispleasure Of his youngest
daughter, usually so amlable, who X
claimed with all the naivete of her fif-
teen years, oh, not that one, papar
But papa gave no heed and q few days
later sent US the gift with the inscrip-
ton engraved 1t, w. NJ. Thack-
cray to Bayard aylor, Oct. %. 1857"

He stopped the Coughing.

One Sunday morning a clergyman
was greatly annoyed by the unusual
amount Of coughing among his congre-
cation. He had not a strong voice and
could only be distinctly heard when the
people were still and attentive. AS the
coughing went on, and ven grew
worse, he suddenly stopped right in the
middle of the sermon. All eyes were
instantly turned to the pulpit, every
cough was hushed and there was per-
feet silence.
MY friends" said the minister, with
a smile, 'ft seems you stop when I
STOP"
This gentle rebuke had the desired
effect. The people found that their
coughing could be kept down when
they liked to a great extent, and the
minister proceeded with his sermon
under far more favorable conditions.

Ancient Theatrical Programme.

Theater programmes were known
even in ancient times, though they
were then of a very peculiar construc-
ton. In Greece and Rome they con-
sisted of small tablets, which were
handed out to the audience at the en-
trance. Those occupying the best seats
obtained programmes beautifully work
ed in ivory, while those occupying the
cheaper seats were given tablets In
bronze.
The bronze tablets were distinguish
ed by a dove worked in the metal, and
the term "piccionerio," used in Italy
today as designating the lower priced
seats in the theaters, dates from this
antique custom.

stress and strain Of her winters work

success, Miss Marlowe does not like it

a performance in a New York theater
where, despite her request for a seat
far back among the orchestra chairs,
the management assigned her to d box.

you won't object" When it is remem-
bered that the elder Sothern had used
every effort to dissuade his boy from
acting and had even been stern with
him, it may be imagined that the de-
butant was in no pleasant frame Of
mind as he entered. Approaching his
father, he took off his hat, but was
stricken with stage fright and could
not open his lips. The father glared at
his son.
WELL" said the elder Sothern fierce
ly, why don't you say something's"
The words were spoken soto voce,
but young Sothern, who by this time
was quite incapable of thinking clearly
about anything at all, was persuaded
that the audience had heard every
word his father had said, and he rush
ed off the stage broken hearted.
OF course this pleased the elder Soth-
ern, who insisted now that Edward
would never make IN actor. But the
boy was plucky and stuck to it. The
next night he repeated his line with
out a break. He spent n year in his
fathers company and the next year
played with John Mccullough. He has
since played with many Of the foremost
actors of the time.

distance mentioned in the New York
dispatch is undoubtedly rough esti-
mate, as the completed line from
Culdesac to Council would not be to
exceed 200 miles. The estimated
mileage unquestionably includes
branch lines to Nez Perce City and to
the Payette lakes, and likely en-
braces the mileage already repre-
sented by the P. & l. N. line from
Weiser to Council.
To those best acquainted with the
situation it seems that the plan is for
the P. & l. N. to build to Pollock
and for the Northern Pacific to meet
it at that point, thereby completing
the north and south road. The dis
tance from Culdesac to Pollock is
given at about 140 miles. The route
has already been surveyed and is en-
tirely feasible.
It will be recalled that the last
session of the legislature of Idaho
adopted resolution specially favor
able to the proposed north and south
railroad. 1t is stated that when MI
Heigho was in the east interesting

sion of his line be found this resoiu-
tion of the highest value. represent
ing as it did a friendly spirit on the

Claimed in dTanysVhe that liz is
Actually After Salmon River
Right Of Way.

Grangeville, May 25.-A new in
terest has been aroused here in the
railroad situation by the departure
of Rlght-of-Way Agent Payne, of the
Northern Pacific, for Whitebird, where
it is said he will confer with people
relative to right-of up the Sal
mon river. This move is considered
of the greatest Importance as it has
been rumored for the past two days
that the Northern Pacific expected to
commence work ON the Missoula cut
off within the next few weeks, and
simultaneously the work of construct
ing connecting link from the Clear
water line to the P. & l. N. at Coun
wcil. Little credence was given to
these rumors in the beginning as the
varied interests of the roads did not
bespeak such an alliance, but the re-
ported combination of the Hill -Har-
riman interests would make such con-
struction the logical solution of the
railroad problem in Idaho, and the
departure of Mr.. Payne has added
color to the story. Such construct
tion would give Idaho the long needed
north and south road, and would at
the same time tap country rich in
resources and possible of great devel-
opment.
W. II. Hill, chief engineer of the
Lewiston & Southeastern Electric
Railway company, was an arrival
here yesterday and will leave in the
morning with crew of surveyors for
point on the prairie about one and
one half miles from Grangeville where
they will commence cross sectioning
and setting grade stakes preparatory
to actual construction work. The
line will first be extended into
Grangeville where terminal and depot
grounds will be laid out in the south
western part of the town. The work
of running the line across the prairie
will be commenced as soon as the
work here is completed and it is ex-
pected that actual construction work
will be commenced at this end with
in the next few weeks.

But while the P. & I. N. extension

an inquiry, the Lewiston Tribune
wired the dispatch that appeared, Civ
ing the opinion that the purpose was
to build to connection with the P.

If that is correct it means that we
are to have the north and south road
which has been so long needed
While The Statesman will not hazard
an opinion on the subject, it will say
there are indications that it may be
the purpose of the railway magnates
to take possession of unoccupied ter
ritory in the fields through which
their lines run.
Applied to this Idaho project, it
would mean that the railway men
know north and south line is badly
needed in this state, that the people
want it, that it would develop q
country of great possibilities, and that
it would be the part of wisdom to
construct it and thus meet the exist
ing need. In the maze of conflicting
reports it is impossible to form an
opinion that could be dogmatically
advanced, but as theory this view o.
the Idaho railway situation is at least
interesting.
