Hat Smashed.

p 8. Eustis, passenger trafic manager Of
the Burlington road was born and reared
in Philadelphia. He Is not particularly
proud OF the fact except for the delightful
recollections OF the little things in his boy
hood days there.
IT think there are always one or two in
cidents or characters associated with boy
hood that one remembers better than
Others" he said. These will sometimes
stick to a person through life and he will
remember them when he will forget inter
mediate happenings and persons. Back in
Philadelphia, when was a boy, there was
a character, not type, named Jack Fla
herty Coming to the United States in his
youth. he never quite lost the delightful
Irish brogue. Flaherty sold oysters from
a wagon in Philadelphia He started In
the business when he first landed and he
is still selling oysters from a wagon. His
custom was TO drive through a street SELL
ing to housewives. Al the corner he would
stand half an hour or so and then meander
up to the next corner. Everybody knew
him-his optimistic disposition and the high
quality OF his oysters which he always
maintained. Every child was his favorite
and he was the favorite of all the children.
Some time ago, when 1 was in Philadel-
phia on business, / sauntered up our old
street. with no particular object but TO look
at the familiar spots. As approached our
old corner I saw an oyster wagon. Going
closer, who did recognise but our old
friend, Jack FTaherty. II was the first

under that mark when Jack sold my mother
oysters so 1 had no fear of being recog-

How are your oysters this morning, Mr..
| Flaherty? asked.
" Fine and fresh he answered.
Now that was the question ana answer
| 1 had heard a thousand times between
! Jack and my mother.
"'Well. how am I to know they're fine
| unless l eat them?' I responded.
well, there's some reason in that, some
reason in that he answered, without look.
ing up from his work of opening the bi.
valves
THAT was another question and answer

my mother
II repeated few more of the old ques

answers. I kept studying his face, but h
| did not look up from his work, yet each Of
his answers was made more slowly thar
the preceding one, and I could see ne wa,
thinking, thinking hard, trying to locate mi

"'well, I'll take half a DOZEN I said a
length.
Then Flaherty dropped his oyster open
ing suddenly and said:
Percy, me boy. how are your Litti,
| Percy Eustis.'
HE was as pleased as boy with
present. Then We had little talk on oil
times When finished eating the oyster
l passed a dollar over to pay for them.
Never mind that, Percy; I'm more thai

BRIDGE BUILDING IN AFRICA
incidents of the Hazardous Work of
of Spanning the Gorge of
the zambeai.

The riveting up OF the Zambesi bridge
proved to be q moro formidable under
taking than had been anticipated. Several
Of the riveters we brought from England
were unable to stand the climate, and we
had to depend largely on the men in the
country. We found that an average days
work in England and In Africa were two
very different things Although we had
good hydraulic and pneumatic equipment,
the rate Of progress was rather slow.
An interesting incident occurred during
the riveting. A leopard, which had pre-
viously devastated the henroosts Of every
one in our locality, besides taking sundry
dogs and cats, was run over by an engine
one night. He had apparently been daz-
zled by TIE headlight and had lain on the
track. lie was seen by the driver, who
pulled Up. The skin was found to be
scarcely damaged.
The deep pools among the islands in the
river were the haunt of numerous hip
popotami which, although peaceable most
OF tine year, II left alone. at certain times
became dangerous. We were chased on
one or two occasions when in Canadian
canoes, but never came to grief. Others
were not so fortunate. Three canoes were
overturned in one week. In one case one
Of the civil commissioners native paddlers
was drowned. In another. the man over
turned lost his rife and other gear and had
to swim to one Of the islands, where he
remained all night,
Another adventure. that befell two Of our
riveters. is perhaps worth recording. They
went q little way along the gorge and
there found the remains Of a reedbuck.
They started to cut out the horns. Sud
denly they heard a growl behind them
Turning, they saw a lioness with two
cubs. who was evidently annoyed at this
interference with her dinner. The two men
did not stop to argue, but made a bee line
for the gorge, down which they jumped
about as dangerous a proceeding, one
would think, as facing the lion. Luckily
they stopped sliding good way down,
and returned very much bruised and ex-

for some distance, but the party we're I'M

Might Have been Worse.

Three or four of us were sitting in the
smoking compartment of our Cincinnati
train one night out Of Chicago when a
pondefous fellow, weight about $50, enc
tered" said Harry ]. Rhein. general pas
sensef agent Of the Big Four road. with
me was c. c. Clarke, one Of our travelling
passenger agents, and, as we were not
paying fare, we crowded over IN one corr
ner to allow the newcomer a seat.
1T was a companionable gathering and
we talked Until a late hour. Clarke and
the heavy weight became friendly. Finally
our agent became sleepy and signified his
intention of connecting with an Upper
berth. He got up and began to look for
his hat. The lid was q new derby, cost
ing ., and he could not find It. He
searched the racks then his berth, and
back again to the smoker, but no hat.
when he made known his loss ito the
men in the Smoking compartment all began
to look for the lost member of Clarke's
makeup. One by one they got up to look
where they had been sitting. Finally the
250-pound gentleman arose, and under him
was Clarke's hat.
"Our agent made as loud a holler as
was advisable under the circumstances, but
the big fellow only smiled.
"'Oh, It might have been worse said

Might have been worse?'" gasped
Clarke, I don't see how IN h 1t could
have been worse

from a BIG terminal where had my head
quarters" said F. H. Tristram. assistant
general passenger agent Of the wabash.
This man was a royal rounder and by his
disposition he had made a host Of friends.
In this way discovered that he was in
position TO control and give us considerable
business without much labor on his part,
and I cultivated him. lie was close to the
atrical people, Influenced their travels over
our line, was a member of half a dozen
societies and orders running excursions over
our line continually.
when l saw what he could do l induced
the powers that be to issue an annual pass
good over the entire system IN favor Of my
friend. I forwarded him the pass; he
thanked me and continued his good work.
About six months after received let
ter from him enclosing the annual His
letter ran about like thisi
My Dear Trfstram: I return herewith
the annual pass you sent me few months
ago when ! received II thought II was a
good thing and would save me lots Of
money running up 10 the city, and II did
for awhile. But these free rides, the saving
Of the price Of a ticket, have almost fuined
me financially and physically. The fact
that / had an annual in my pocket has
caused me TO make nfty TIPS TO the city /
would not have made II had to pay my
fare. when 1 got into the city the feeling
that 1 had paid no raiiroad fare was al
ways with me, and when would spend a
dollar here and a couple OF dollars there !
would console myself with the thought that
1 had saved my railroad fare. On return
ing home 1 would find that while 1 had
saved "a or $ in railroad fare 1 had spent
SIS or $50 in other ways, all based on the
theory that was saving money on account
of my pass. Now II had had to pay my
fare 1 would not have made one-twentieth
of the trips. AS near as can figure It out
this annual pass has cost me In six psnths
about $500, while IL had paid my faAe and
made no unnecessary expenditures It would
have cost me little over 800 for the same
number OF trips. Much obliged, old man
but hereafter l will pay my fare and save
