READING ROOM STORIES.
What She Studied In Order to Retain
Her Husbands Love.

A man in charge Of a department
in large reference library in Phila-
delphia was asked by woman caller
for a book on geology. She sat and
read it all day. The next day she
called for a work on botany. For
four successive days she read his
tory, astronomy, essays and photog-
raphy. On the last day she returned
The book and confded to the man
in charge that she did not know
what to read during the next week.
"What is the object of your read

His Eootism.

An English barrister named Hud-
dleston, a general favorite at the
bar, was the butt of many jokes.
A great dandy, he always wore q
powdered wig and white kid gloves
in court. He was somewhat ego
tistical, and during a general criti-
cism of him some one said in his
defense, "At all events, you never
hear him speak i'll Of anybody"
"No," rejoined Ballantine, brother
barrister, "but the reason is that
he never speaks of anybody but him.

HOLDING OUT FARES.
A Cond sctor's Observations on tho
Street Car Beat.

Street Car Beat.
"Do some passengers make it
practice to hold up fares on lis ?"
repeated a conductor on one of the
street car lines. 'lndeed they do,
and you wouldn't be running a car
a week before you would get on to
some OF their methods.
"Most conductors have some sort
of a system of collecting fares.
Some take the faces of the passen-
gers as guides, others take in the
general appearance of the passen-
gers, while others go through their
cars in certain systematic ways pc

for fare, as many conductors whose
memory is not good are obliged TO
do, nor do many fares get away from

''In collecting fares l always look
at a mans cravat. Facial delinea-
tions, especially in men with
smoothly shaven faces, are frequent
ly nearly alike, so much so that one
smoothly shaved stout man looks
like the next smoothly shaved stout
man, but their neckties will be diff
fcrent. 1t is also deceiving to at
tempt to identify men by their head
covering, as there will be a dozen
men in the car with the same style
of straw hat on in summer, and
with the same style of stiff hat in
winter, but when it comes to neck

the reason that you won't find two

ladies may wear the same general
style hat, either down over the
face, up from the face or on one
side or the other, you will never
see two ladies' hats that are trimmed
exactly alike.
"You see, it is our duty to col
lcct fares, and when we think
passenger is holding up ticket it
is also our duty to insist that it be
surrendered, so our identification
should be accurate to save trouble
for all concerned. There are some
passengers who always have their
fares ready to hand to the conductor
upon his approach. There are
others who never produce a fare
until specific demand is made by
the conductor for it, and then the
search for the ticket or the cash
begins, and not until then. These

is not moral turpitude to beat the
company out of its legal fec for

the conductor, and that they are
under no reciprocal obligation to

EGhel's Question.

Ethel is three years old. Her
father came home the other after
noon, after working three days and
nights under high pressure, with no
sleep to speak of, and lay down

minutes the greatest amount of
noise would not have aroused him.

the New Zealand parson bird and
the gull, and to the highly cult

MIR. CROMWELL
 GREW WARM
He Declined to Recognize
 Senator Morgan
The Latter PcOmisad Him a Chilling When the Canal Business Comes Up in the senate.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The axamina- ton of Wm. Nelson Cromwell, who has figured largely in connection with the sale of the Panama canal property to the United States, was begun today by the senate committee on inter-oceanic canals. Many of the questions asked MT. Cromwell related to the interview at the Manhattan hotel in New York regarding the resignation of MT Wal lace, when Secretary Taft, MT Wallace and MT. Cromwell were present. There were frequent tiIts between the wit ness and Senator Morgan because the former was not more specific in his answers to questions by the senator.
 It eliminated dramatically at the close of the day. when MT. Cromwell refused to answer various questions asked by the senator and the latter declared he would deal with the wit ness in the senate when the facts re- garding the resignation of Mr. Wallace came out. MT. Cromwell replied with some warmth that that was the "only safe place to do it.'
 MT. Cromwell in his statement de- clared that every penny of the money paid by the United States government for the purchase of tne Panama rail road stock and for the French canal property had been accounted for. He stated that he had declined to accept the position of counsel for the canal commission. and that his activity had been largely upon the invitation of the president, and tlce secretary of war He said that his only financial inter est on the isthmus or in the republic of Panama was a. personal investment in the capital stock of the Panama American corporation. of which he owned $51.SO0 out of a total capital of $229,O
 A feature Of MT. Cromwelrs state ment, and upon which he was closely questioned, was with reference to the retirement of Chief Engineer Wallace and the testimony, which MT Wallace had given before the committee. Ha said that the explanation which Mir Wallace gave the committee was radi- cally different from that which he gave at the time he retired, which was that he had been offered a larger salary; that his reasons given after the Man haitian hotel interview made no refer ence to Cromwell; that in a letter 10 Chairman Shonts, the day after the in- terview no allusion was made to Crom- well. Mir. Cromwell quoted from this letter in substantiation of this.

Timir- aizeff's Industrial program by the wholesale arrest of vyorkmen.
 To these conditions, which piactic- ally demanded the retirement of M. Durnovo. Count Witte was unable to assent. He, however. urged M.
