HIS COTTRTFsy FypENsrvT

A well Known millionaire who had
intended to make trip to Europe early
this month found, a day or two before
the steamer sailed Oh which he had en-
gagged passage, that he would be unable
to get away at that time. AS a matter
Of business courtesy, he wrote to the
steamship company authorizing them
to sell the staterooms they had reserv-
ed for him, and added that if they
found it impossible to sell them in the
limited time, they might charge him
whatever was proper in the circumst-
ances.
He thought that his failure to occupy
the quarters might cost cost him a
couple Of hundred dollars, as the price
he had agreed to pay for his passage
was $4,000 He was surprised and
sore, however, when the steamship
people sent him a bill for 5000. He paid
it, however, and a little later reserved
accommodations on another ship which
will sail next week. -U e..
Again the millionaire found that his
business engagements were still too
pressing to allow him to sail at the
time appointed.
"Shall | cancel the reservations"
asked his secretary, with a faint smile
lowering about his mouth.
mot if you value your job replied
the millionaire. They'd probably
soak me full price of the passage this
time. New York Globe.

the more serious negotiations with the
kaimakam and the sheikh, you have
plenty of time to do Akabah. Your
guidebook tells you that in SoIomons
time this was Elath, through whose
port poured vast stores of merchandise
and treasure; that later ON, in the days
of the Cursades, this was so import
ant citadel that Saladin thought it
worth While to transport boats across
the desert from the Mediterranean for
its capture Nothing now remains to
suggest the busy traffic or the COM
handing Importance of the past.
1t has all gone-gone as completely as
Solomons glories and Saladin's boats.
Still, you may wander pleasantly
among the PLAN trees if the persistent
wind is not blowing a cloud Of sand
and dust; you may notice the curious
fresh water wells on the seashore al
most within wash Of the waves, and
you imagine what this shore, with no
quay and with scarce II boat, must once
have been. No doubt If the railway
comes thither the place will regain
some of it's lost life and energy, but the
traveller of the past will remember its
silent sunbaked network of novels as a
spider's web stretched gliastenins
across his path in the glazing desert, in
which he for time was the fly.

nae o1p SOLDIER TODAY.

The old soldier sits in the carriage.
He is no longer able to march with
the boys" but he sits very straight
and great dignity is upon him. But
yesterday he was on the street in work
clothes, bent and tottering form, an
object of pity. Today he is the sol
der, in the uniform, though almost
threadbare, the gilt cord furnished,
victorious over the years and intirmi-
ties, the embodiment Of martial valor.
He lives again the years when he saw
service for his country, when he en-
dured hardship and laughed at pain
and tyed with danger, And we of
the younger generation, standing on
the curb to watch his passing, waving
our hat and sending a cheer after him
are realizing that the old veteran
made some history for us. Possibly
he did not know just what he was do
ing. He may not have seen the large
consequences Of the movements of
events which he helped to start. Per-
haps he was just a soldier who heard
the call OF his country and answered.

FLIGHTs on THE DREAMER.

A flash of light is not sluggish, sound
travels rapidly, bullet is no messenger
boy and and an automobile which
shoots a mile in 2S seconds is moving
along certaily. When 1t comes to get
ting over ground in a real hurry, how
ever, to devouring distance In dead
earnest, the dreamer marches proudly
at the head of the procession. He makes
the latest thing in the line of $50 horse
power racing cars look like hay carts
in a mud bank
"A man sits in his chair after dinner
and dozes; he awakes with a start and
discovers to his surprise that he lost
consciousness for exactly three minutes
by the clock Yet in those three minutes
he journeyed from New York to Port
Said, transferred himself to st. Peters,
burg, loitered in Paris and London and
sailed up the Nile. What is Of greater
Importance in this connection, he jour-
neyed leisurely almost indolently; he
stopped at various points of interest
and examined them thoroughly; he met
with annoying and amusing experiences
on steamships and trains; he talked
with acquaintances whom he encount-
cred in foreign lands and he told some
of them precisely what he thought of
