The Fourth Edd stanheps and tho
h.. GentlemanIy Hishwayman.
The fourth Earl Stanhope when on
his way "a. homeward late one dark
night was held up by the most gentle
manly of highwaymen, who preferred
his request for money or the noble
mans life in quite the incest way. It
happened that Lord stanhope had not
any money with him and was disin-
clined to yield the alternative.
"'Your watch, them" suggested the
gentleman at the opposite end Of the
pistol. That watch, the earl explained,
was dear to him. He valued it at 100
guineas and would not surrender 1t.
"What I will do" he said, .'sis to bring
and deposit in this. tree the worth Of
the watch in money, and you can call
and get it tomorrow night"
Done. M lord" said the highway
man. ~, r
The law knew nothing about this ar
rangement, and the earl did as he had
promised. He placed the 100 guineas
where the highwayman might at his
leisure collect It. And there, 30 far as
he knew, the matter ended,
Years afterward he attended a great
banquet in the city and found himself
pleasantly entertained by an extremely
well known man whose signature was
good for sum in several figures. Next
day came to Lord Stanhope a letter in
closing the sum OF 1907 guineas. Ac.
companying 1t was a note begging his
acceptance Of q loan granted some
years previously to the man who now
forwarded it. ttA ~
That loan, said the letter, had ena-
bled the sender to gain new start In
LIE, to make a fortune and to renew
acquaintance at dinner on the previous
night with his iordship. The city mag
nate and the, highwayman OF earlier
days were one and the same:-London

landed him at an inn known as the

free trade, she was enabled to buy

talked freely and dispensed counsel

AN EASY SOLUTION.
How the Section Boss Got the Tool
House In the Right Spot.

How the Section Boss Got the Tool
House In the Right Spot.
About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased by the Boston and
Maine that portion Of the old road be-
tween Swampscott and Salem was in
: charge Of Section Foreman Timothy
Moynahan. ..,, g
His strongest point was in doing
just as he was told and doing that
with energy and accuracy. So when
he was notified from Beverly by Road
master Stevens that the section lengths
were to be changed and that he was to
move his tool house from the westerly
end of Salem yard to halfway between
mileposts 10 and 16 he started out with
the determination to move the house
halfway, no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta
toned one Of his men at milepost 10
and another at milepost 10, and at a
signal they started to walk toward
each other until they met, and to
point opposite their meeting place the
shanty was moved. This method of
getting the correct distance did not
quite suit Moynahan, especially when
he remembered that oneSf the walk
ers was taller than the Seier and the
other tripped several times on the way
down. 3d. H. .-,-.
he carried this in his mind for near
~ year, when he met the engineers
measuring through for signals and
asked them to tell him as they meas
ured If his house was just halfway or
not. H.
When the measurement was taken.
the house was found to be sixty feet
nearer milepost 16 than 15, and Moyna-
han, on being told, remarked that he
thought hecouid Ak things just right.
Later In the year the engineer met
Moynahan In Salem and asked him if
his tool house was now halfway be-
tween the mileposts. s85: {
1T is" he replied. "It's just half
way ..
did you have much trouble moving
itY'
No trouble at all. I just let it stay
as 1t was and moved the milepost."-

TO PRESERVE INDIAN REL les
The North Dakota State Historical 3d.
= elety Takes up the Work. Z

y
A new movement is on foot In North
Dakota. For years this state has been
the resort Of the Indian curio hunter,
and thousands Of specimens have been
carried or each year, says the Mime
apolis Journal. The two great trunk
lines Of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern traversing the state greatly
facilitates the process Recently, how
ever, with the reorganization Of the State
Historical society the people Of the
state have awakened to the value of
their archaeological material and pro-
pose In the future to do their own ex-
ploring Of old Indian sites and preserve
for their own use the remains Of the
vanished races once occupying their
lands.
North Dakota has the good fortune to
contain the only remaining fragments
Of those two famous tribes of the north
west the Mandans and the Grosven-
tres. and has also within her borders
Representatives Of three other import
ant Indian tribes, the Arikara paw
nee, Sioux and Chippewa. From the
archaeological point Of view the work
which the society has undertaken Is
very important. The preservation and
record Of the myths, tribal records. and
customs ut the Mandans and Gros-
ventres viii be a unique piece Of work,
since practically nothing has been done
along this line except by such travellers
40 Lewis and Clark, Catlin and Maxi
milan. The old village sites in the
Missouri valley once occupied by these
tribes. over fifty In number, have yet
to be surveyed and mapped, and the
specimens found there need to be ex-
amined. The first steps in the direction
Of studying these Ave tribes In the
state have been taken, and prelimi-
nary report has been issued In the flrst
volume Of the Collections Of the state

Electricity More Potent Than Aladdin's
Famous Lamp.
Was Aiaddin's lamp SO very wonder
full? Today we touch a button when
a messenger Is needed; we press an
other, and the room Is flooded with
light. It Is not recorded that Aladdin's
old brass implement was OF any value
for Illuminating a dark room. Our
slaves Of the lamp do not terrify us by
their horrid appearance. They are
placed afar of in a home Of their own
and are always ready to furnish us
with light and heat at any time OF the
day or night. Is not that simpler and
more direct than to have to carry an
ugly piece Of brass about with as,
which when rubbed did not give what
was wanted, but merely brought the
servant?
And was the magic mirror 10 much
superior to the telephone? Who would
not prefer to talk with his friends to
merely seeing them dimly through a
clouded mirror? Truly the telephone
is one of the most romantic devices
that has ever rewarded mans endeav-
ors. And vet the magic mirror, while
at seems improbable, may lead to It,
but even then It would only supple
ment the telephone. s.!5s
And In what way was the fairy boat
or coach superior to the electric launch
or automobile? True, the rider did NOT
know how or why It moved; bnt this
same advantage holds for many who
today use these very equipages. And
one can easily believe that we are not
far from the true flying machine

SAVES HERSELF BY HER OWN
POWER.

The IL. S. n. Co.'s S. S. Claudine,
Captain Parker, hit the reef as she was
about to leave the channel for Hawaii
and Maui ports last evening. Just
before she got to the spar buoy the
captain discovered a Japanese sampan
lying near it. 1t was pointing towards
| the Claudine and appeared to Captain
Parker to be the spar buoy and the
captain mistook the sampan for the
buoy, the last buoy just before the
turn for Diamond Head.
Seeing the mistake almost Immediate
ly in trying to avoid the sampan he
ran in too far and went aground.
The Claudine was on the reef from
about 7:4O to 1926 p m. Apparently she
suffered no damage. There was no
sign of a leak when she got off and her
engines were all right.
Port Captain Clarke boarded the YES
sci shortly after she grounded.
A hawser was taken from the clau-
dine by launch and attached to the
spar buoy. The vessel was pounding
considerably. The strain on the line
seemed to move the boat gradually.
Finally it was seen that the spar buoy
had been pulled adrift and when with
in about 200 feet of the vessel the line
parted. The Claudine's engines were
kept going at full speed and finally she
was in deep water by her own power.
There was good order among the
crew and no excitement among the pas
sengers. The Claudine went ashore.
