CARELESS UNDERTAKING..

Much Indignation has been
aroused in the Burgess Hill district
of Sussex, England, by an extraor.
binary succession of accidents dur.
ing burials at st. Johns churchyard.
In the first case band slipped from
under a child's coffin, and this
pitched into the grave. Then at the
interment of an adult the unprotect-
ed side of the grave fell in while the
mourncrs were singing the hymn
Crock of Ages" Finally, at third
burial, the grave was found TO be too
small to accommodate the coffin, and
it had to be enlarged in the pres
ence of the distressed relatives, one
Of whom--a man-fainted.

Donkey Was Too Sensitive.

Ellen Terry at dinner in New
York was condemning snobbishness.
1T Is the most contemplate of all
shortcomings" she said. "And un.
doubtedly the so-called aristocratic
snobs inflict great deal of pain with
their insults. They don't understand
the pain they infiict, though. A snob
has no imagination. He has mo more
idea of the effect of his work than
had the little boy with the donkey.
There was little boy whose father
gave him donkey for an Easter gift.
All went well with the animal for
some weeks. Then one afternoon the
lad limped into the house in tears.
The bad donkey kicked me- he
howled.
Kicked you? Then you must
have been cruel to it, said his mother.
81 wasn't cruel to it at ALL he
screamed. I only just tried to carve
my name on 1t with my new knife +"

Rats az JUDGES Of Ivory.

The ivory dealer pointed to half
dozen rats gnawing among the yellow
heaps OF tusks and ivory fragments
In the garnet.
, "They are quite tame, you see," he
said. why shouldn't they be so?
The fact Is. they are on my payroll
They work for me. Their wages are
a pound Of cheese and loaf Of bread
q week.
"Ivory dealers like rats, for rats are
ivory's best judges, and without their
help we should often want higher
price for a bad tusk than for fine
one"
He took fragment Of ivory from
the floor and pointed to certain small
burrows In Its surface.
THE rats did that" he said. "Thosc
burrows are proof of the ivorys ex,
cellence. Rats gnaw the ivory that
contains animal glpe. or gelatine, a
substance of which they are fond. And
this substance 1t Is that makes ivory
excellent, yet mere man can't. tell
whether tusk contains 1t or not.
"The rats can tell. They are ivory
experts, and they work so cheap"

King Came to Rescue.

At the time of the marriage of the
crown prince of Sweden, Miss Emma
Thursby, the American singer, and
Nine. Christine Nillson were appear
ing on alternate nights at the Royal
theater at Stockholm. Nine. Nilsson
would sing in opera. one night and
Miss Thursby in concert the next.
Both ladies were invited to the
court ball given by King Oskar In
honor of the crown prince and his
bride, and both wished to attend.
But. neither had court train, and
they were at their wits ends to know
what to do. Every dressmaker In
Stockholm was busy night and day;
it was too late to order Their trains
from Paris. Nine. Nilsson finally
solved the difficulty.

TRINIDAD SHOWERS HONORS
ON THE AMERICAN FLEET
Cordial Greeting Extended by
Governor to Visiting Armada.
SEVEN THOUSAND GO ASHORE
Holiday in the Fleet-Rowing Races
of Crews-BattlesEips Decorated
Torpedo Boats Sail For Para
After Making Repairs.

Port of Spain, Trinidad. Rear
Admiral Evans, Rear-Admiral Emory,
commanding the second division of
the battle fleet; Rear-Admiral Thorn
as, commanding the third division,
and Rear-Adimarl Sperry, command
ing the fourth division, together with
the members of their stats, went
ashore and proceeded to Government
House, where they paid the usual for
NAL call to Sir H. M. Jackson, Gov
ernor of the colony.
The battleship feet under COM
mand of Rear-Admiral Evans reached
its first port of call in its Ia, 00O-mile
voyage to the Pacific a full day
ahead of schedule.
The ships entered the harbor in
four divisions, and steaming past the
city came to an anchorage in the Gulf
of Paria about four miles from Port
of Spain. The fleet made fine spec
tacle as it swept through the Dra-
CONS Mouth and down the harbor.
The ships came to anchor in splendid
form, all the anchors dropping 81
unanimously with a splash.
The usual port ceremonies followed
at once. The harbor master and
health officer of the British colonial
city called and pratique was granted
without delay.
The holiday spirit pervaded the
American feet, but it was more like
the celebration of the Fourth OF July
than that of the Christmas which the
men had known in colder chimes.
Decorations there were in plenty,
wreaths of holly and evergreens
which had been brought along to
keep alive the remembrances OF the
day, and there were special dinners
in the mess rooms for the officers and
turkey and other good things for the
men.
It was not given to the men of the
torpedo boat fiotilla to spend Christ
mas ashore, for in the early morning,
with flags flying and the firing OF
salute to Admiral Evans flag float
ing on the main truck of the battle
ship Connecticut, they steamed away
to Para five days journey.
Not fewer than 5000 or 1000 of
the bluejackets were allowed on
shore, and they entered into the
spirit of merry-making with the
townspeople, whose geniality and hos
pitality have known no bounds.
The feature of the festivities was
a regatta, in which many of the bat
tleships had crews. There were
plenty of exciting finishes, and en-
thusiasm ran high. Admiral Evans,
with his staff, watched the struggles
of the competitors from his launch,
and big crowds occupied points of
vantage along the course.

The year has been notable for the
increase in the number of block sig
nails installed, the increase having
been 1921 for the twelve months end
ing December 81.
Legislation adverse to the rail-
roads in various States, an editorial
in the Railroad Gazette says, and the
difficulty of borrowing money, were
largely responsible for the decrease
in new mileage, which had been ex-
pected to precede that of the preced-
ing year.
New main track mileage, the edi-
torial says, was reported in forty-four
States and Territories, including
Alaska, where ninety miles of new
track were built. Louisiana, which
was third in 1906, was first in 1907
with 3841s miles, with Texas, South
Dakota and Washington next in or.
der, with between $40 and 800 miles
each. The largest decrease was in
Texas, where the new mileage was
295 under the 1906 figures. The
new mileage built in Canada in 1907
was OF, as compared with 1907 in
1906. Mexico showed an increase,
being 1913, as against 297 in 1906.
There were 289,645 railroad cars,
both freight and passenger, built in
the United States and Canada, which
was nineteen per cent. over the rec
ord breaking output of 1906. The
locomotive output, the article says.
showed an increase of six per cent.
over 1905. The total for the United
States and Canada is given as 1862,
as against 6952 in 1906. OF this
number 1913 were for export, an in
crease of eleven per cent. The cost OF
cars and locomotives, the Gazette
says, has increased slightly over
1906. The average cost of freight
cars is given at $1100, of passenger
cars at $500 and locomotives al
$4,000. The total amount spent fol
new rolling stock in 1907 approx
mates SAT-, 100000, an increase Of
twenty-five per cent. over 1906.
Despite the financial disturbance
and the banking panic, only nine rail.
roads, with total mileage of $40
went into the hands of receivers dur.
ing 1907. This, it says, is the small.
est mileage since 1908, and compares
with 657 miles of road which suffered
receiverships in 1906. The largest
railroad which went into the hands
of receivers during 1907 was the
Chattanooga Southern, which owns
ninety-nine miles from Chattanooga
Tenn, to Gadsden, Ala.
Referring to foreclosures, the edi
torial says that only six roads, with
total mileage of It's, we're sold un,
der foreclosure in 1907. OF these
the most important were the Toledo
Railway and Terminal and the Peoria
and Pekin Terminal. The former
was sold at foreclosure in May, 1907
and later reorganized as the Toledo
Terminal Railroad Most of the rail
roads entering Toledo have a share
in it's ownership. The value of the
securities of the roads sold under
foreclosure was $1S,902,000.

Mt time when Presidential pots are
beginning TO boil has no political sig
nifieance, say the lawyers. Those be-
hind the suit, 1t is explained, are
high-minded men, who are taking
this action because they believe in the
equal rights of all men under the
law.
The suit is based on an application
by Reid to recover the amount of
his pay from the day of his dismissal
from tfA service on November Is,
1906, to July IS, 1907, the day on
which his term of enlistment expired.
The petition denies the right of the
President to dismiss a whole bat
TALON of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
because part of that organization par
ticipated in the riotous disturbance
in Brownsville on the night of Au-
gust 10, 1906.
The action is brought under the
law of March 3, 1887, known as the
Tucker act, which gives the district
and circuit courts concurrent juris-
diction with the Court of Claims over
cases against the United States, the
former where the amount involved is
$1,000 or less, the latter where it is
more than $1,000 and not over $10,-
600.
The suit comes up at this time be-
cause, it is said, two certain gentle
men in New England" had an argu-
ment over the great injustice done
the dismissed colored troops. One of
them apparently convinced the other,
for both Joined in having the suit
brought. They interested some 9TH
ers, and so the number of the mys-
terious New Englanders seeking the
colored mans rights grew. Francis
Woodbridge of the law firm refused
to discuss the affairs of his mys-
terious clients.
