BIDlNG HIS TIME

Opinions differed about the Walk
er boys. Some people said John
didn't do his share of the farm
work; others that George ought not
to do more than his share. When
there was disagreeable job to 40
George usually pitched in cheerfully
and did it. When there was pic
mic or entertainment to which both
could not go John usually had the
preference.
Though John was only a year
older it was he who owned the
horse and buggy and who spent
Sunday afternoons driving with a
girl. George always did the chores
Sunday evenings while John was
so engaged.
They were friends for the reason
that George was good natured and
contented to do the work, and to
get along without pleasure.
And SO when John asked him to
"catch ride home from the Fourth
of July picnic" George said he
would.
81 expect Rebecca Saylor will be
there and III take her home" ex-
planned John. "Of course there
won't be room in the buggy for you
too"
"Of course not" agreed George,
and went out to feed the pigs while
John creased the buggy
But in Georges heart there was
pain. He didn't know what it was
but he felt 1t when his brother
mentioned taking Rebecca home.
Rebecca was pretty-the prettiest
girl in the country, George thought.
He had spent many a Sunday in
church just gazing at her black
braids and the contour of her pretty
face. He did this only from a re-
spectful distance, for he felt Rebec-
ca was UNNECESSARILY above him.
At the picnic George tried to APP
pear cheerful. He saw John and
Rebecca together and apparently
quite oblivious of him. He didn't
care to do anything. He was mis-
cradle. Still he could not tear him
self away from the picnic as long as
Rebecca was there So he stayed.
The sun was sinking when they
started away. Out the winding
road from the woods he went with
slow steps. Rebecca was behind
and ahead only the lonely farm.
Suddenly he heard voice calling
him. He started. Again it reached
him and his heart stood still.
1t was the voice of Rebecca call
ing his name. He stopped. He
could feel the bushes on his
cheeks. His stiff Sunday clothes
seemed to suffocate him.
Rebecca came running. She look
ed sweet as an agel in her light
summer dress.
Where are you going so early,
George?" she asked GREATNESS. His
name on her lips sounded heavenly.
I'll have to go home" he STAN
mered. Il must do the chores"
But why doesn't your brother go
with you In the buggy?" demanded
Rebecca. her eyes flashing. Even in
his confusion George noticed that

ZangwilPs Knowledge of the Famous
 Trials of History.

LangWtlps Knowledge of the Famous
 Trials of History.
 AS an indication of the quality of Zangwill's mental processes I may re late an incident that occurred while we were producing "The Children of the Ghetto" MT. Zangwill was seated In my office, and we were going over some of the details of the play. It was the day that Labori, intimately con nected with the Dreyfus case in Paris. was assassinated. Knowing that Fang will had intimate knowledge of the case, New York newspaper sent a representative up to see him. The re- porter entered and after conveying the news said:
 ''Mr. Zangwill, we want from you a history of all the famous trials you can call to mind for our paper"
 "Indeed?" said MT. Zangwill. "I think can prepare that for you. Come to see me in three or four days and will have 1t ready"
 "We want 1t now" objected the newspaper man. we want to print it in our paper tomorrow morning."
 'But you surely don't expect me to quote you dates and facts out of my mind on the spur of the moment, do you?" asked MT. Zangwill in astonish- ment. Such thing is out of reason"
 "Pm sorry, but it's the only way we can make use of it," replied the news paper man firmly. MT. Zangwill thought moment and then asked If he could have my stenographer for short time. He was called in, and Zangwill die tated to him then and there two col umn resume of all the famous trials of history, from Savonarola down, and quoted every important date and his u0rlcaI rearure connecueu wlrn eacn.-

these Is the abnormal situation with re- spect to San Francisco since the fire. Not only has there been an immense tonnage concentrated in San Francisco since the fire, but the conslgnees with limited warehouse facilities, torn up streets and changing conditions gener- ally have been quite unable to unload Their freight with the usual dispatch
 As much as ten thousand cars have been tied up in San Francisco and around the bay. necessltating embar- goes upon bringing freight into San Francisco, as we'll as creating car famine at the time the cars were in greatest demand. This situation should not be charged to the railroads. To-day the Southern Pacific has sev- ersl thousand cars In Oakland and San Francisco, Which 1t Is doing Its utmost to get unloaded. When IS per cent. to 20 per cent, of the rolling stock of a railroad Is tied up at one point famine elsewhere may be reasonably expected. Extreme measures have been taken to relieve the situation and 1t Is thought with the rapidly improving warehouse facilities in the city and the better con ditlons for teamlng that within a few months the trouble will be of the past.
 The railway officers say flatly that reciprocal demurrage bill would make matters much worse. The dollar day penalty exacted from shipper who falls to load or unload within the prescribed 49 hours Is not to secure revenue. but to hasten movements of the cars. To charge the railroads for not supplying cars when ordered would be at times penallzing them because they could not perform lmposslbllties. Further, the interstate traffic of Call fornia, which Is the most value to the state and brings to 1t the larger part of Its revenue would suffer severely through such a law. A state reclproc- al demurrage law would have no jurls- dlctIon over cars required for lrter- state movements; In self defense the railways would have to furnish the cars for movement within the state and the other business would suffer

ALMANAcH DE GOTTA.
History of This old and World Fs~
 nous Instttuttou.

The Almanach de Gotha is more than m almanac It is an institution Bravely arrayed in red and gold. it lies ol the table of every diplomStist, is tn constant request in the newspaper of. fees of all countries and makes wider and more international appeal than any other annual of reference in the world It is Co Europe what Burke and De brett and the other peerages are to the British isles. and it is also the lineal ancestor and model of such topical en cyclopedias as our Whitaker. our Ha- zell and our Statesmans Yearbook A political and social history of the world for the last 150 years could be written from it's back numbers if these were readily accessible to stu dents. But they are not. The Alma mach de Gotha began to appear in 1T63. but the purchasers did not file 1t for reference. The earliest numbers in the British museum are those for 1774 and 17S3, and complete set can be consulted nowhere except in the edito rial office in Friedrich's Alice in the little Thurlngian capital. Probably not one in ten thousand of those who cur rently use the almanac has any knowl edge of Its interesting history.
 It had of course its predecessors. The blbliographies of almanacs are ponderous tones, and the middle of the eighteenth century was the golden age of this kind of literature. In Paris alone as many as seventy-three alma macs were published in the year 1760. including a royal almanac, an almanac for merchants, an almanac for Free masons, an almanac of beasts, an all manac of badinage. etc. The city of Gotha itself had its own almanac from a still earlier date in the shape of an improved Gotha genealogical and writing calendar" the origin of which is lost in the mist of antiquity, though a copy dated 1740 survives.-Francis Gribble in Scribner's.
