from Virginia to Nashville, Tenn,
where he held various jobs on the
Louisville and Nashville road and in
1873 secured the position of roadmas-
ter Of the Nashville and Decatur line.
From 1879 to 1881 he was superintend-
ent of the Memphis division Of the
Louisville and Nashville. He was
gradually promoted until in 1884 he
was made general manager of the
Louisville and Nashville system. In
the next few years he held several diff
ferent positions, and one Of these was
that of general manager Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. He made a
good move in his acceptance Of the
post Of general manager Of the Louis
vile, New Orleans and Texas railroad.
for under his direction the possibilities
OF the line became so apparent that he
was able to negotiate the sale of it to
the Illinois Central. The result Of
this deal was his elevation in 1900 to
be second vice president of the latter
company. When he assumed the du-
ties of this post he was given charge
or the operation Of the entire system,
being responsible only to Mr.. Fish.

poned until New Years. It was Oh
this occasion that an italian battle
chip commander, with warlike inten.
tons toward the United States and
all their inhabitants, was beguiled into
peaceful thoughts by good American
punch, which the American officers
dealt out to him in such quantities that
he finally said he would like to settle
In the western hemisphere.
1t happened that the Italians man
of-war and the Yankee gunboat arriv.
ed In southern waters at about the
same time. There was the usual inter-
change Of courtesies. Then occurred
the incident that aroused the Italian
captains ire. A South American news
paper printed a cartoon representing
him as being blown out Of the water
by the United States gunboat. In this.
OF course, there vas no sense what
ever, as Italy and this country were
on the friendliest terms, but the for
eign skipper. being both excitable and
suspicious, took the matter to heart.
The Americans heard that he ever &C.
cused them Of inspiring the cartoon
and that he had complained to his
home government.
New Years day came due while the
gossip was at its height. For weeks
the wardroom officers of the gunboat
had been making preparations for a
grand feast. They decided ut the last
minute to invite the italian and his
staff as guests of honor.
A refusal. Of course, was out of the
question. but when the guests arrived
their attitude was cold and distant, es-
pecially that Of the captain, who look
ed as though he expected to be thrown
into irons. 1t was said afterward that
he had ordered his vessel to be ready
for immediate action in case of treach-
cry. At any rate. he sat down at din
without a smile for his hosts, and
for awhile things looked gloomy.

Their Was No Use to Argue.
Mrs. Bowser saw that it was no use
to argue the point. She knew how
things would turn out, and she knew
that Mr.. Bowser would paint that
fence even if an earthquake came
along and heaved it out of the ground
While he was at work. She therefore
raised no further objections. and he got
into an old suit and began looking up
the necessary things. He upset the
cook, the kitchen, the shed, the base
ment and the whole house for an hour
before he was ready to 90 to work.
and then in mixing his paint he got

After SCATTERING up the kitchen tloor

on the fence. The public let him alone

The man was hurt in his feelings.
Up to this point he had had every con-

A BOGUS CAPTAIN.

HOW His C~lcvernesN Deceived the
BurEOmnStcr Of k~Oepentck.
A military uniform commands a great
a of respect, not to say ave., in Ger
many. and it was in consequence of
this that Wilhelm Voight, n cobbler
n eX-convict, was able to score an
achievement which ranks with the
boldest and nerviest in criminal annals.
Voight is about sixty years old, and
