Invitation to Franklin.

Several amusing incidents in the life
of Benjamin Franklin have been
handed down to us. many Of which ex-
hibit his rare wit and some few indi-
cate the humor of his contemporaries.
During the course of an extended
journey, Franklin was obliged to await
an unusually long time for his stage.
The day was very warm and sultry
and not little dusty, but all this did
not ruffle his philosophical temper.
The stage at last arrived. and as the
door opened Franklin was much
pleased to see an old friend. whom he
cordially greeted, expressing his salts
faction at having secured a travelling
companion. His friend, however,
whose irritation was not decreased by
the closely-crowded stage and the in
tolerable weather, together with
Franklin's hesitation on noting the al
ready overburdened coach, perhaps un-
consciously exclaimed:
"Come, Benjamin. We are late
now.''-Judge's Library.

Revival of Old Inns.

When the railway superseded the
diligence, the coach, the chaise and
Sterne's "disobligeant" as means OF
Europen travel it was natural that
the small roadside inn should suffer
loss of patronage.
Your tourist, unless a sentimental
journeyer like Sterne or Stevenson,
began to leap by rail from spot to
spot, like grasshopper upon a map.
He breakfasted in London, took train,
lunched in Brighton, New Haven or
Dover. had tea at Calais or Dieppe
and supped in Paris.
Now with dining cars he's even
worse, unless he be a motorist-a
sentimental motorist And despite
speed and rumors of speed. there are
such things as sentimental motorists.
Indeed. it is owing very largely to
this class that such of the old inns
of France and England as managed
to survive the introduction of the
railroads have blossomed into renewed
prosperity and usefulness. = Travel

Still chasm Between Nations.

There is little love lost between the
Chinese students who are flocking in.
crowds to Toxic to learn western
civilization at second and their Japan
ese fellows. The Chinese students
live their own life apart from the Jap
anese. with whom they mix as little
as they can. This Chinese mode of
life is wholly repugnant to Japanese
feeling. The Chinese students refuse
to smoke Japanese cigarettes, which
have the names stamped on the paper
in Chinese characters, since they look
upon 1t as proclamation to burn their
sacred letters.

oId-Time Theatrical Manager Recalls
Amusing Experience That Came

'In the wild and woody days OF Chey-
enne. when the men of the town were
so much occupied at night that It was
rare sight to see one of them on the
street before noon, l was the manager
OF a theater there called the Gold
Room, in which we employed small
dramatic stock company and a few
specially performers. Tony, who was
clever Irish comedian and singer,
was a member of the stock and a very
useful man, except when be was
rubbed the wrong way.
The leading woman, known as
Monte Verde. was Of Spanish descent
and had the quick temper SO often
found in members of that race. There
was no love lost between her and
Tony at best. but they never really
quarreled until one evening, when she
was coming up a flight of rather dark
stairs and he was going down, he
chanced to step squarely upon her
foot. 1t was an accident, Of course.
but I suppose 1t hurt no less on that
account. At any rate, she gave Tony
such a tongue lashing as one seldom
gets from a woman. When she had
finished her TRADE he answered,
quietly:
