HE GOT COFFEE.
The Major Asked For Tea, but That
Made No Difference.

Back in the seventies Of the last
century, when the Kansas division
OF the Union Pacific was called the
Kansas Pacific, Majos L. ID. Red
eington, who had served with dis
tinction in the civil war, was pay
master. At that time the paymas-
ter was the biggest man connected
with the road in the estimation Of
the employees and the people living
in the towns along the line, and his
arrival in the pay car was usually
the occasion for a great o%utpouring
of the people.
One night Major Reddington's
a pulled into the town Of Wallace.
The major and his clerks were Civ
en- a grand welcome by the people.
They were escorted 80 n railroad
boarding house and treated as royal
guests. It was conducted BY a bux-
ON Irishwoman, who boosted that
she set the best table of any town
along the road.
At supper that night every regu-
lar boardcr turned up at the table
looking his best. The Irish Gland
lady," as they called her, appeared
In a neat blue calico dress, all
primped up and smiling.
"Tay r coffee z" she asked, with
a pretty courtesy, as she passed
from one guest to another.
The regular boardcrs understood
it all, and they answered, Coffee,
please, num-" Major Rcddington,
however, was n down east Yankee
aud not much Of a coffee drinker,
80 when the question was put to
him he replied with his usual po-
likeness:
81 will have n cup Of tea, IL you
please"
Il almost took her breath away.
The look of disgust on her face
caused the regular boardcrs to tit
ter. Then she narcd up.
"Say coffee, yo omadahn, fr we
have No tay," she said as she poured
the majors cup full of stoaming

The Black Maria.

In Boston's early days a negress
named Maria Lee kept a sailors
boarding house near the water
front, She was a woman of gigan-
tic size and prodigious strength and
was of great assistance To the au-
thorities in keeping the peace.
When an unusually troublesome fel-
low was on the way 10 the lookup
Black Maria, as Maria Lee was calf
ed, would come 10 the assistance Of
the policeman. and her services
were in such requisition for this
purpose that her name was associat-
ed with almost every arrest made,
Black Maria often carried a pris-
oner TO the lookup on her shoulder,
and when the prison van was insti-
tuted for the purpose Of carrying
prisoners il naturally enough was
styled the Black Msria.
