Watering Carlyle.

lady was one day approaching the
modest home of the Carlyles in Cheyne
Walk. Poor, long suffering JEANNE
Welsh Carlyle, up in the balcony, look
ed down at her. ooh, do" she called
out, ''come in! Mary Ann and 1 are so
tired of watering Carlylev' The lady
entered and was escorted to the little
garden at the back of the house There
1t was a hot day-sat the great man
in a pool Of water. For hours the two
devoted women had been taking turns
in deluging the hagstones around him
by means of a large watering pot He
was very particular that not drop
should touch his sacred person, which
no doubt doubled the difficulty of the
operation. The same authority relates
that Mrs. Carlyle had dog which she
loved. But it would come in with dirty
feet, and the splenetic philosopher OBJ
jected. No one was willing to wash
the creature, yet he had to be cleaned
somehow. Finally there was an ar
rangement made with a local laun-
dress, and she washed him every week,
sending him home in a basket with the
clean clothes.

English Towns,

That there are many instances in
England of two or more towns enjoy
ing the same name is fact that no
body can we'll help knowing, but prob
ably few people are aware Of the very
wide extent to which this duplication
of names prevails. Newton seems to
hold the same rank among places as
Smith among individuals, no fewer
than seventy-two towns and villages
in England alone bearing this name.
BY including the Newtowns obviously
the same name with a slight difference
in spelling, the total is raised to little
short of ninety. AS every town must
have been new town" at some time or
other it shows a great lack of inventive
genius among our ancestors who had
the naming of the towns There are
sixty-eight places named Sutton. Our
ancestors seem to have found the four
points of the compass of great service
in the nomenclature Of their towns, for
besides the Suttons there are fifty-one
Westons, forty-nine Nortons and seven
teen Eastons. TO these last should be
added thirty weight Astons, another form
OF the name very common in the west
of England.-London Chronicle.

The Continental Express company is
great institution 1t does business in
every state between the seaboards, and
It's employees, who are messengers OH
trains, local agents, route agents, office
men and drivers, number thousands.
The Continental continues to be great
and to pay dividends because it takes
a particular interest in the goings in
and colniEgs out Of each of its en-
ployees. 1t demands services Of them
and loads responsibilities upon them at
which bank presidents would shudder.
The company's motto, ii a thing so
thoroughly useless were ever an APP
pendage Of an enterprise so unitarian,
would be, THE Continental expects
every man to do his duty"
The corporation comes nearer to rep
resenting abstract justice than the SUI
preme court Good men are advanced
in precisely the degree they deserve
advancement. Bad men are punished.

How Tea Chest Lining Is Made.

One of the many industries in con-
necti0n with the tea trade is the col
lection of the lead with which tea
chests are lined. China has been not
ed for many centuries for the purity
of its lead, and this tea chest lead as
it is called, is regarded as the finest
in existence. There are many uses for
it. It is found very valuable in max
ing the best kinds of solder. Machin-
cry is not usually employed in the pro-
duction of this sheet lead, every sheet
being generally made by hand in the
most primitive fashion. A large brick
is provided the size of the sheet of
lead to be made and is covered with
two or three sheets of paper On these
the molten lead is poured, and another
brick is placed on top, which fattens
the lead out to the required size and
thickness The sheets are then sol
dered together to the size Of the in
terror of the tea chest. the tea is pack
ed in, and the top sheet is fashioned in
place. The workmen are very expert,
and they turn out an immense number
of sheets III the course of the day.

A Domestic Treasure.

Sir Squire Bancroft in proposing the
health of the bishop Of London told a
story in his inimitable way. A charm
ing young damsel came to London to
visit an aunt, who probably came origi-
nally from Scotland, for when the
young lady was leaving in cab for
an evening party she said: Nov, mind;
don't you pay him more than 1 shil-
ling It's his legal fare" Arrived at
her destination, the young lady sprang
out, handed cabby shilling and bound
ed up the steps of the house.

for promotion meant more money, and
more money spelled matrimony. Bob
by and Marion Hackett had it all ar
ranged. When his salary touched $50
month-a driver gets $i5-or when
he had 1900 saved, then they would ad-
venture down life's stream together.
Fer, you see, Marion. $45 month
isn't much, although it would buy coal
and something to eat" Bobby would
explain. But, darling, don't want
you regretting having married me
right at the start. I'm going to have
enough SO We'll be comfortable
And Marion, with fond belief in Bob
by's financial acumen. would lay her
curly head OH his shoulder and agree,
satisfied this was right, for hadn't Bob
by said SO?
Bobby was thinking up ways and
means one winters night as he turned
his horses head homeward with the
load of freight from the eastbound
train. The first quarter mile of the
journey. between solid rows of lum-
Der piles and lighted by single arc
light, was lonesome. Bobby often
thought that if holdup for the valu-
able money packages he carried were
ever attempted it would be on this
stretch of narrow, deserted street.
The possibility of such an occurrence
was always present. Tonight it be-
came Il reality. A man, a dark cloth
tied over his face, suddenly sprang out
of the shadow and seized plodding old
Dick by the bit Something glittered
In the hand which he pointed at Bob
by. Throw down that sackn' he COM
manded hoarsely 1.-The red way bill
stuff" as the valuable packages are
called, was in sack swung over the
drivers shoulder.
Bobby's reply was to reach for the
Colts thirty eight, which drivers of the
Continental carry. The stranger fired,
and Bobby felt the crease as of hot
iron right above his right ear. The bull
let had barely missed him. The holdup
man went down next instead, bullet
from the Colts in his shoulder. He lay
helpless on the soggy snow until the
police came and took him away.
A route agent came to Morgantown
next morning, talked with Hornbeck
and went away. Route agents are
power, and Bobby was impressed and
fattered when this particular member
of the guild shook hands and jokingly
called him "Deadwood Dick"
A week later the sequel of the at
tempted holdup was written. A red
way bill package, containing five 500
bills, came for Bobby from Continental
headquarters. A commendatory letter
which accompanied it quoted a certain
ancient circular far back in "Old r.
and r. which provides that the Con-
tinental employee who captures unin-
jured the criminal that attempts rob-
berry shall receive 500: the sum shall
be $500 if the thief is wounded and
captured.
Hornbeck says that letter, which Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor prize most highly. is
the first ever sent out from headquar-
tiers consciously or unconsciously hui
morous. "Old r. and r. makes no al
lowance for humor, but the epistle adj
vised Bobby, among other things, to
get married. And Bobby was planning
the honeymoon while he read it.

The Right Doctor.

In Haverhill, Mass. according to the
Boston Herald, there used to live two
doctors of the same surname. DR.. Ben
jamin e. Sawyer was physician with
a large practice. Dr. Nathan Sawyer
was a veterinarian. A man named
Jones. after a week or more of imbib-
ing, was very sick, and his wife, be-
coming alarmed. sent the hired man for
DR.. Sawyer. The hired man brought
the wrong sawyer-the veterinary. Dr.
Nathan explained to the wife that he
was skilled only in the diseases of
horses, cattle and other animals. 81

this case replied Mrs Jones. Jones

GLOVE
By COLIN S. COLLINS
Copyright, 1905. by Beat,,ic Reaels

1t was all because Grover, i'll sud
Gen fit of sentimentality, had annexed
Miss Lenhart's glove. On the football
field, in the woods, in the hunting sea-
son OF at polo Grover was afraid of
nothing, but there was something
about the five foot daintineSS of Laura
Lenhart that made Lloyd Grover blush
and stammer like the rawest school
boy in the maddest stages of his first
love affair.
He never would have dared to annex
ne glove had he not been certain that
Miss Lenhart was unaware of her loss,
and he stuffed it in his deepest pocket,
trembling from head to foot lest some
one suddenly appear and demand that
he restore the souvenir to it's owner.
Later on he participated i'll the gen
eral hunt for the glove, and none was
more eager than he in the search.
Even after Miss Lenhart laughingly
declared that it did not matter be kept
up the pretense and made that the ex-
cuse for reporting at her side as often
as her partners left her alone for a
moment.
Dropping in at his club on the way
home, Grover could not resist the
temptation to draw the glove from his
pocket and gloat over his boldness.
He even pressed it to his lips, after
making sure that no one was looking,
but he crushed it hurriedly in his hand
at Jack Turner's approach, and as he
did SO for the first time he realized
that there was something inside the
glove.
With the perspiration standing cold
upon his forehead, he realized that it
must be a ring, and his active magma
ton at once busted itself with plans
for returning the jewel undetected. He
could never bring himself to confess
the theft of the glove. He could not
pretend to have found the ring without
being forced to explain why he had not
returned it at once, and a thousand
and one suggestions, all equally impos-
sible, rushed through his mind.
All the time he was keeping up a con-
versation with Turner, and he much

q GREAT scHE M &.

The Withdrawal from entry, as
agricultural lands Of a great area
of coal lands including a large
quantity in North Dakota, marks
the beginning of the policy Of the
president i'm reference to the con.
trolling of the fuel supply of the
nation that is destined to write his
name high on the scrolls of the
nations history. 1t will be re-
membered that last spring when
the country was threatened with a
great coal strike, the president did
not hesitate to let 1t be known that
he would take the most heroic &C
ton even to appointing a receiver
for the coal mines involved.
This was regarded as an extreme
measure and it was feared that the
precedent would be used to the in
jury of invested capital in other
lines and would therefore unsettle
business foundations. The inves-
LEGATIONS showed that something
had to be done to prevent the dis
aster that would certainly follow a
general tie up of the operating
coal mines of the country.
The geological survey made an
examination in accordance with in
structions from the president and
ascertained that there were 56,OOO,-
600 acres of public lands believed
to contain coal deposits. The
president, however, desired the
withdrawal of only those sections
known to possess workable coal,
and the area was accordingly re-
duced to 100000 acres. This
gives the government possession of
coal lands capable of supplying the
nation with an indefinite amount
of fuel.
It is claimed that a great many
of these lands have been entered as
agricultural lands and that prose-
cutions are being pushed against
those who have perpetrated the
frauds. It is the policy ofsthe
government to retain control of a
great coal area which will not be
subject to the power of the coal
trust, and which in case of a strike
or lockout could be drawn upon for
the fuel supply Of the nation.
When once this condition is
completely established TIE danger
from coal strikes will have been
avoided for all time, and the mas
terful craftsmanship will again be
demonstrated. These mines can
be operated by the government or
they can be released under gov
ernmental regulations so that the
government will retain complete
control. The fortunate thing is
that the vast area withdrawn from
entry should yet belong to the pub
lie so that the step could be taken
without resorting to drastic meth
dds and the coniscation of proper
