Silent London.

Compared with New York" re-
| marked an American visitor yester-
day, there is no noise in London. Yet
sitting here in the courtyard of the
Hotel Cecil you can see one string of
| vehicles going past two and three
abreast with hardly lull.
Sometimes it gets on my nerves
| and makes me think am going deaf.
| The omnfbuses, cabs, motor cars, and
private carriages stream along like
! pictures in an old-fashioned panorama

about, but did not believe) to con-
vince you that your ears have not

A Russian visitor said that the only
city he knew which was more silent is
St. Petersburg in winter, when the
traffic is principally sleighs. but in
the noisiest on earth. The rattle is
tremendous. Here it is like rubber
wheels running on rubber"
A Daily Mail representative, ascer-
tanning the views of men from the
principal capitals of Europe. found
that they were all agreed that London
was the most silent city they knew,
despite its enormous traffic. Most OF
the Paris boulevards, said a Partisan,
are ear-splittfng in their racket, from
and ordinary traffic.
Brussels, it was agreed, is even
more noisy than Paris.
Berlin, on the other hand is. it was
held, next to London the quietest cap
ital in Europe. This is due to the
expensive and scientifically designed
system of electric tramwayS Whlch
carry on most of the city's traffic. The
payements are largely wood or as

lending to lessen noise.-London Mail.

proceeded to regale her with story

though not in the same way.

FRON OTHER PENS

WHY RAILROADS CAN'T BORROW.
| At least one railroad man recognizes
what is the matter with the railroads.
Robert Mather, general counsel of the
Rock Island system, in an address be-
fore the Chicago Association of Com
merce given recently, showed that he
not only saw the truth, but was not
afraid to tell it. Il count as first among
the causes that have made the securi-
ties of the railroads unsuitable" he said,
the misdeedS of the railroads them
selves
Mr.. Mather specified some of these
misdeeds very frankly. One of them
he declared to be incompetence in meet
resulting in car shortages and ruinouS
loss to farmers and dealers. Another
and even greater evil he found to be
the issuing of railroad securities and
their investment for the private bene-
fit of railroad officials rather than for
the gain of the roads themselves. With
out saying so he clearly alluded to the
watering of stocks and the reckless
speculation of Wall street in railroad
properties.
In these two abuses Mr.. Mather found
the chief causes for present railroad
embarrassment In a word, they may
be classed as incompetency and dis
honesty. And the two are connected.
The roads are incompetent because
many of their owners and officials at
tend more to speculation than they do
to serving the public and running
trains. They are more interested in
building up their own private fortunes
than they are in building up their lines.
They even go to the length of looting
and wrecking railroad systems for their
own gain At last they have been found
out and cannot borrow money. The
result was inevitable, and they have
no one but themselves to blame. 1t Is
to be regretted that more railroad men
than Mr.. Mather have not the ability
to see the cause of their trouble and tho
honesty to admit it.-Los Angeles Ex-

Where Cowboy Boots Are Made.

In Olathe, Kan, there is a factory
which makes 200 pairs of cowboy
/ boots" each week. Each pair OF these
boots is made to order. The company
has a catalogue, which it sends to
the cattle ranches throughout the
Southwest. 1t tells the cowboys how
to take measurements of their own
feet. These are sent to the factory,
and the boots made and sent out.
A cowboy boot" is in distinct
class by itself The leg must be dec
Grated with fancy lines and curves
sewed into the leather, and, above
everything else, the heel must be very,
small.
A cowboy takes especial pride in
He often pays $50 for his hat, and
the best of the cowboy boots cost
from So to SIC. The ordinary shoe
maker cannot make boots to suit a
true cowboy; he cannot get the heels
right. And so the cowboy sends away
for them, and pays big price and
express charges besides.
The factory in Olathe employs fif-
ty men. All of the work is done by
hand, and some of the shoemakers
were brought from Germany and
England especially to work in that
factory.
Cowboys say they have high and
sharp pointed heels to their boots not
because of vanity and pride, but as a
matter of convenience. The high
heel prevents the heel from passing
through the stirrup, and they are
also a brace when on the ground
roping an animal. AS the steer pulls
to get away the cowboy sinks his
sharp heels into the sod and this pre-.
vents him from slipping.

Playing the Man.
By HARRIET PEARL SKINNER.

A whimsical story is told of olive
Goldsmith, the Irish poet, who, when
a boy of sixteen, set out for home.
after completing his course at the
preparatory school at Edgeworths-
town. Procuring a good horse, he
undertook his journey in the highest
spirits, tfngling with sense of free
dom, after several years spent under
the severe restraints which governed
the school at Edgeworthstown.
Conscious of possessing a pocket
full of jingling coins, which had, of
necessity, been borrowed, but were
none the less inspiring, Oliver as
sumed the important air of a man
and traveller, and fell into trap
thereby.
Riding into the town of Ardagh to
spend the night, he accosted the first
man whom he met, demanding i'm
pea.fously where he might find the
best house in the place. Of course,
Oliver was in quest of an inn or
lodging house, but the stranger saw
In his query the opportunity of play
Ing practical joke. Gravely he di-
rected the arrogant young horseman
to the home of Mr.. Featherstone,
this stately dwelling Leing indeed the
best house in the place.
Thereupon, Oliver rode up to the
charge of stable boy, and stalked
unannounced into the drawing room.
Discovering an elderly gentleman
seated by the fireside, and supposing
him to be the innkeeper, Goldsmith
haughtily inquired what might be had
for supper, and without waiting for a
reply, ordered a half dozen of his
favorite dishes to be prepared. Con-
fident that he had strongly impressed
his host by his mannish demeanor,
the lad sat pompously down to wait.
Mr.. Featherstone instantly detect
ed the visitors ludicrous mistake.
and also the fact that Oliver was the
son of his own old friend, Rev. Chas.
Goldsmith. Himself a man humor-
Gus temperament, Mr.. Featherstone
determined to further the joke, and
retired to execute the commands of
his unexpected guest. He took his
family into the secret, and returned
to the drawing room, bringing his
wife and daughter with him; and
presently, when the maid appeared
with tray of steaming dishes, Oliver
condescendingly invited them all to
sit down with him and partake Of
the excellent supper.
The three Featherstones enjoyed
the comedy to the full, and their
merriment became nigh uncontrolla-
BILE when the lordly young gentleman
left explicit directions before retir-
ing that a certain kind of hot cake
should be cooked for his breakfast.
What was divers discontinue
next morning to learn incidentally
from a servant that he had forced
himself upon private family, rem
dering himself most ridiculous in
their eyes by his ostentatious con-
duct! He fastened downstairs at
once, sought out the Featherstones,
and frankly apologized for his blum
der and behavior. A chorus of mirth
greeted his confession. In this he
joined SO heartily that he endeared
himself to the Featherstones on the
spot, and ever after he was received
at their house as welcome guest
