Didn t Think any More of Him for It

Didn t Think any More Of Him for It
AN sEnglish eXcursionist who was
up near Balmoral ON n certain oc-
casion, went into a cottage to get a
drink of water.
$50 the queen is neighbor Of
yours?' he said to the housewife,
while she was serving him.,
"Yes.'
"And she is quite neighborly, ism
MT she, and comes to visit you in
your cottage?"
"She's weel enough. "
"Look here ma am, you dom t seem
satisfied with her majesty. May |
ask you why9',
"Well, I'll tell We if We wish. The
fact is we don't leik the gangin s on
at the castle. We don't leik the way
they keep or DON keep the Sawbath

day."
The excurSionist tried to, appeasc
her and said: "Oh. we'll, after all
ma 'am, you know there is precedent
for that. You remember our Lord,
too, went out on the Sabbath-' She
interrupted him:
'Oh, ave! ken it weel eneuch

A Lawyer Should Know Much.

"An attorney is likely to find ev-
cry kind of knowledge of use to him
in his practice," said a Kansas City
lawyer. "An illustration of this is
afforded in very extraordinary
criminal case that was entirely dccid-
ed by the knowledge of nautical af-
fairs which the lawyer for the de-
fence had picked up while making a
sea voyage.
"Two sailors were on trial for the

"Thc mate was SO taken aback that
he could not answer. He turned pale
and dropped in fit. Upon coming
to himself he confessed himself the
murderer. In his false testimony he
had given 10 each man his position
upon the ship and had forgotten the
most material place, or rather, had
left none to fill it.
"It was his knowledge of ship
that enabled the lawyer to catch the
false witness in that case and save
fhe lives of two innocent men,"

AUTHORS HANDWRITING.
Jules amin Would Rather Rewrite
Than Read His Manuscript,

Charlotte BrOnte'S handwriting
seemed to have been traced with a
needle and the penmanship Of Bryant
was aggressive, we'll formed and de-
cidedly pleasing to the eye. Thack-
eray's writing was marvelously neat
and precise, but it was SO small that
microscopic eyes were needed to read
it. Longfellow wrote bold, open
backhand which was the delight Of
printers. /
The handwriting Of Caption Mar
ryat was so microscopic that when he
rested from his labors he was obliged
to mark the place where he left off
by sticking pin in the paper. Ma
poleon's handwriting was worse than
illcgible. 1t is said that his letters
from Germany to the Empress Jose
phine were at first taken for rough
maps Of the seat of war.
Much of CarlyAe's temperament
may be read in his handwriting. He
wrote patient, grabbed, oddly en-
phasized hand. The chirography of
Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore and
Gray was easy to read and ran
smoothly. 1t was not expressive of
any especial individuality, however.
The writing Of Dickens was minute,
aud the authors habit Of writing
with blue ink upon blue paper with
frequent crasurcs and interlineations,
made his copy burden to his pub
fishers. Byron's handwriting was n
mere scrawl. His additions in his
proof ofteu exceeded in volume the
original copy. To one Of his poems
which contained only 400 lines in the
original 1000 lines were added in the
proofs.
One day a distressed composltor
appeared at the home Of Jules jain
and besought him to dcci phcr some
pages of his own manuscript. Janin
replied that he would rather rcwritc
than attempt to read over what he
had once written.
Few printers could read the copy of
BalZac. and those who could invaria
bly, made strict agreement with
their employer that they would be re-
quircd to work at it only one hour at
n time. Even after the hicroglyphics
had been translated into print the
proof sheets came back more illcgible
than the original copy.
While having his house repaired
Rufus Choate had promised to send
to the builder the model for carved
mantelpiece. Failing to obtain exact
ly the kind of mantelpice that he
wanted, Choatc wrote to his work
man to that effect. The carpenter
eyed the missive from all sides and
finally decided that it must be the
promised plan. Forthwith he set to
work to fashion what would have
been the most original mantclpiccc
ever madc-Ncw York Tribune.

WHEELER CANARD IS
UTTERLY EXPLODED
Times Dispatch Bureau.
Washington. d q SEN, t 81

Washington d c., Sept. 20.
GENERAL Oliver tho Acting Secre-
tafy of War, to-day nailed yarn ema-
mating from Montgomery, Ala. to the
effect that the War Department had
refused to grant to the daughters Of
the late General Joe Wheeler the privi-
lege of putting his rank in the Con
federate army on his monument in
Arlington National Cemetery.
There Is not a word of truth in
the statement that we refused 70 allow
his rank in the Confederate army to
be inscribed on his monument" said
General Oliver TO The Times-Dispatch
correspondent .On the other hand" he
continued. "we not only approved the
request of his daughter that his rank
in that army be given, but we did so
on no less authority than that of the
President himself
when the matter was first brought
to his attention III March he said that
General Whcellr:s Confederate rank
should by ALL nEsaas 'be given on the
monument, and when Miss Wheeler
wanted the wording of the inscriptions
changed a little we also approved that.
There Is not grain of truth in the
Montgomery story. We have never
even so much as thought of taking any
adverse action in the matter.
General Oliver then showed The Times
Dispatch correspondent the whole cor
respondence, and remarked that it was
fiction pure and simple, and that he
was at deep loss TO know how the
report got Into circulation. He said
that the inscribing of the Confederate
rank of General Wheeler on the monu-
ment not only had the official approval
OF the War Department, but their per.
sonal approval as we'll.

More than year ago II charter was

of the. road was begun and pushed at
iseveral points along the 4i3 miles OF
route. The best ninsty-pOund rail WAS
used, the grading and filling We're OF

baliasted in the south. Curves were
eliminated. regardless OF expense. and
grades reduced at enormous cost. 80

At this time Ell miles OF track have
been laid. according to recent state
ment from the headquarters of the

inaugurated over 1875 miles OF the east

In general. the line parallels the Nor
