THE REAL "slR JOSEPH PORTER

How the vast English bookstall bus mess of Messrs. w. H. Smith x Son was founded and developed is one of the romances of railway life and lit trature. The two brothers, Henry Ed
 ward and William Henry Smith, set up business early last century as news men, in an unpretending shop in Duke street. Crosvenor London. The firm moved to 192 Strand in 1920, continu-
 ing Duke street as their head office for a. time. Henry Edward Smith seems to have been of a less active disposition than his brother, and they parted. w.
 IT. Smith, the first, became sole part ner; he worked as hard as any of his
 assistants, and was certainly the
 quickest packer of news parcels in the place He was a terror to the careless and negligent, who had short shrlft; i; but Sir Herbert Maxwell tells us that he Drought the business to a point be- vond which it could not be taken by a single individual" His famous son who was afterward leader of the House | of Commons and a Cabinet minister was born at 192 Strand in 1925, and after a good, practical education, at It wished to go to the university and pre- uare for holy orders. He submitted his
 will to that of his father, however, ant entered the Strand business, which h'
 was to develop into the largest con
 cern of the kind in the kingdom. "F1rs on the road" was Smiths motto, anC

it made the firm first in the trade ol news vendors. Father and son both seemed to believe that what man does himself is better done than what he hires another to do; the son was known in the Strand establishment as smith, the Smotherer," and his presence was acceptable when his father was around.

FUNERAL A GREAT SUCCESS.

No one ever understood the foibles of stage people better than did the late Kirke La Shelle, and of the rul- ing passions of actors he used to tell this story: I won't mention the actors name, but he is a star of considerable reputation. Mir La Shelle met him on the Rialto, one day, and noticed that he was wearing a mourning badge on his arm.
 Its for my father" the actor ex- plained. i've just come back from the funeral It was a very sad affair. | MT. La Shelle expressed his sincerest sympathy. The actors grief was oo- viously very great and very real. "A thing like this a man doesn't gel over soon," he went on. 'I attended tC all the funeral arrangements. ol6 the best I could. We had everything just as father would have liked it.
 Many there?" asked Mir. La Shene.

WASN'T WORTH ANY MORE.

The late Eben D. Jordan, founder or the Jordan Marsh company, used to tell this story on himself
 It seemed he once had in his employ a bright boy who had made up his mind to get along in the world. one morning, as MT Jordan was sitting at his desk, this boy respectfully ap- preached him and asked to have hls pay raised to $5 per week
 How much are you getting now ?' Mir. Jordan asked, with a smile.
 ''Three dollars a week, sir"
 And how old are you?"
 "Fifteen my next birthday, sir"
 MT. Jordan laid his hand kindly on the little fellows shoulder, and said impressively: "Do you know, my boy when was your age I was only get ting $2 a week?'
 The boy dropped his eyes for a mo- ment. Then he looked earnestly at tht rich and successful merchant, anc said. seriously: Perhaps you weren't worth any more, sir."-Boston Herald

HE FORGOT THE DEATHS.

William R. Merriam was talking in New York about the last census.
 All sorts of odd and interesting things happen he said.
 "One of the collectors told me how he had visited a village, and how, on the completion of his work, crowd of villagers had gathered around him, anxious to know how much their pop lation had increased in the last ten years. "It has increased,' said the father of large family, about a hundred, suppose
 "'No,' said the collector. it has only | increased six
 "Oh, dear! There must be some mis- take said the father, T have in creased 1t more'n six myself."-Pitts- burg Gazette.

witnesses. The warrant was issued Tor Richardson and he was quickly found- He was also boiling drunk Before he reached the door of the court room he | began yelling that he was guilty and demanded an immediate announcement | of the amount of his fine. In his con- dition the court could not accept his plea of guilty and ordered him to Jail until Monday. Richardson appealed violently from this order of the court and finally the order was modified to the extent that Richardson should be taken to jail and put to sleep for two l hours. If at the end of that time it lappeared that he was nearly sober something would be done with him either in the matter of accepting his
 plea or admitting him to bail. Rich ardson was dragged away declaring that there was no sense in the courts order.
 Later in the day he was released on bail and started home. He got as far as Five Points when he returned to the
 city and had two other fights. He was
 then locked up for good.
 Before this matter was out or the
 way A. w. Maylich called to consent
 the court at great length regarding the charge of peace disturbance which had ;. been made against him the day before |, and which 1t appeared had been pretty , thoroughly gone over at the time. The
 last proceeding of the day was in re- , ference to an application by Mrs. Anna 2 J. whitcomb for permission to take de- . positions in a divorce case in when C Mrs. Whitcomb had been retained by 7 the plaintiff, who by the way IS the = wife of Goodwin.
 But that was not all. Another man . came in to ask the court somethlne . about domestic etiquette and the rights . of the husband in certain cases. he = put a hypothetical question. He desir- 7 ed to know whether a husband migh II not in the event that the householc = goods had been sold off by the wife II 5 his temporary absence, recover th' ,- same from the purchaser. The cour - said he could not. The inquirer sal' .S that was what he thought but he want = ed to be sure that he was right H = seemed sorrowful when he found hl
 own view of the situation confirmed.
 This matter having been adjusted
 Justice Burnett managed to escap
 fro minis court room. He went int hiding and caused the report to be cir '. culated that he had been stricken Wit ~ a dangerous and contagious disease

TURBULENT DAY
One Justice. Court Nearly Put out of
 BuSina8s.

A steady stream of troubles poured into the unwilling ears of Justice Bur nett yesterday. What with the weather and the intoxicated condition of many of the applicants for relief the justice was driven to the point of distraction He finally cleared his office by driving the complainants and their witnesses out into Wall street announcing that as many of the cases as possible would be disposed of on Monday.
 Mrs. R. E. Goodwin set the ball roll ing by applying for a peace warrant for her husband. She said that he had threatened to cut her throat with razor last Thursday and then she left him. He had since been following her around and she swore that she believed her life to be in danger. The justice Is chary about issuing warrants or thls kind but he did issue warrant Tor the arrest of Goodwin who was taken mo custody and his bail fixed at S1.OOO for his appearance at his arraignment in the afternoon.
 When he appeared he made a talk for himself. He denied that he had threatened his wife though he said that they had some trouble on Thurs day He had not bothered her since though he called upon her In reference to some business matter. He said that his wife was learning to smoke hoI under the tutelage of a young man whom he had befriended. That was the sole cause of the trouble in the Goodwin family though Goodwin salc that he had long since lost faith In hl' wife as a truthful woman. Before their marriage she told him that sh' was the iliegitimate daughter of a mar prominent in this community an' showed him some papers in proot her maternity. He had thought it would be an honor to connect hlmseh Wlll the family of this man even in thl sinister way and so he had married He had since learned that the paper were more spurious than his vii for she is, he said pure blooded In dian. Thus he had been led into th crime of iniscegenation.
 Goodwin by the way was one of tn Rough Riders from this territory. H is fayorably mentioned by Preslder Roosevelt in his book on the member of that famous military organizauo as uerhaps the best shot in it At an rate the president said he was alwaS called upon in emergencies.
 Goodwin asked for a speedy deter uninatIon of his case but he was morn ed that 1t could not be heard oe1o Tuesday afternoon. Then he asked 1 reduction of his bail. Inat was a cordingly done and the bond was TX, at $500. Later in the afternoon furnished 1t and was released.
 The next subject was Hugo Fish xvbo wanted a warrant for the arre Of Jerry Richardson who. had assaul ad him in a saloon without eau: knocked him down and walked on hl MT. Fisher was somewhat under | influence of liquor as was one or
