a Ready Answer,

When George Francis Train was Civ
ing evidence before the metropolitan
board of aldermen of London in favor
of his scheme for laying a tramway up
Ludgate hill, a noble lord among his
interlocutors suddenly fixed the old
pioneer with his monocle and sa I:
''May I-ah-ask a question, Mr.-ah
-Train?"
That is what l am here for, my
lord" he replied.
"You know, of course, how very mar
row is Ludgate hill. Suppose that
when 90 down to the Mansion House
in my carriage one Of my horses should
slip on your rails and break his
leg, would you pay for the horseY'
The reply came like n fash. "NGy
lord, If you could convince me that
your horse would not have fallen If the
rails had not been there | certainly
should pay."-Harper Weekly.

The Elevator Ewes.

One of the greatest hardships suffer
ed by men who run elevators in the
tall office buildings downtown is the
bad effect it has on their eyes. The
cars are run at high rate of speed,
and, as the men have to look straight
ahead of them most of the time, their
eyes soon feel the strain of the con-
stant motion.
i've worked in the subway" re-
marked one of these elevator men,
land l thought that was pretty bad,
but it isn't patch to the way my
eyes feel after a days work in these
cars. If you ever run across an ele-
vator man who seems unusually bad
tempered toward the close of the busi-
ness day, just look at his eyes and you
will be apt to forgive him. They gen.
orally show the strain that has been
put on them for eight or ten hours."-

A MODEST REQUEST.
Colonel Bill Sterret and the Privilege
He Craved

He CraVed.
When Colonel Bill Sterret first went
to Washington to report the news of
the capitol for his Texas papers, he
had desk room in the office of General
II. V. Boynton, then the militant cor
respondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial.
General Boynton spoke out in meet
ing. He said things about statesmen
that made the statesmen angry. He
had many personal encounters with
patriots whose feelings had been ruff
fed
One night a man came into Boyn-
toms office loudly proclaiming that he
intended to shoot Boynton. The gen
eral grabbed a chair, beat the intruder
over the head with IT, knocked him
down and threw him out. All this time
Sterret sat at his desk, looking on In
great amazement.
When the man landed In the gutter
Sterret came timidly over to Boynton.
General" he said, "being a new hand
here, don't know the practices of this
Office nor the customs that pertain to
Washington correspondents, and
didn't want to intrude. Now that
have seen what has happened. trust
you will allow me a question:
"Go ahead" said Boynton.
