Stories of President Cassatt.

Mr. Cassatt never lost his temper
except under the greatest provoca-
ton.
His consideration for others was
shown once on a train where he was
not known to conductor or brake
man. The train came to standstill
owing to some .trifling accident, and
after ten minutes Mr.. Cassatt asked
the brakeman if it was not customary
to send man back with red flag
to warn trains behind. The brakeman
admitted it.
"Then why don't You do itq" ask
ed Mr.. Cassatt.
eff you will mind your own bust
ness,' was the reply, "the railroad
men in charge Of this train will at
tend to theirs. We know what to DO,
and want no interference from YOU"
When Mr.. Cassatt arrived in the
Broad Street Station, Philadelphia,
he hunted up the station master and
related the circumstance. The sta
ton master started TO have the brake
man discharged, but Mr.. Cassatt re-
strained him.
'"Don't do that,' he said. "Just
call him into your Office and tell him
he cussed the president, aud that
hereafter he should be more polite
to passengers. -
Andrew Carnegie was the biggest
receiver Of rebates, it is said, on the
Pennsylvania road, when those favors
! flourished. After Cassatt had given
his word to the president that they
had ceased, Carnegie came to see
about it.
"Of course" Carnegie is reported
to l'ave said, "this rebate matter
does not apply to me-"
cit certainly does," answered Cas-
satt.
"What, no rabates9" asked Carne-
gle.
"No' one" replied Cassatt.
Carnegie leaned over. "H" have
the rebate or I'll build line of my
own.'
"You can go to hell" said Cassatt.
This answer is historical. Carnegie
did go West and it was through him
that George Gould succeeded in get
ting the Wabash into Pittsburg.

a place of that kind, yet that is where
the spirit of sentiment most frequently
manifests itself. Some people, mostly
women, of course, come back year aft

certain rooms in certain houses. Great
events in their lives apparently took
place there. Maybe somebody was
born there, maybe somebody died, or
it might have been some other tragedy
or some other joy Anyhow to those
persons those particular rooms are hal
lowed spots, and on certain dates, an

If a newcomer, suspects thieves and
refuses permission to enter, but, as a

the spirit of romance and the visitor

who is the boss. Wherever you find a

man is In control, give him one of the

After seventy nine chickens had been
disposed of, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, he came to a house and
made the usual inquiry
"I'm the boss O. this RANCH" said the
man.
"Got to show me-"
So the wife was called. and she af-
firmed her husbands assertion.
Take whichever horse you want"
was the boys reply.
So the husband replied, 'Tll take the

A Erne+ ne.nIa4ad and

/ learned from an eyewitness some
thing about Spitzbergen, that desert
arctic Island 500 miles north of the
North cape of Norway and within 700
miles Of the north pole; frost desolat-
ed land, where the grass grows longer
than the trees and huge glaciers in the
ice bridged valleys amid the jagged
mountains move majestically down in
to the sea until mighty icebergs, a
monstrous birth, break off and rise
to the surface amid thunderous reports
-once the only sound that broke the
profound silence of those awful soli-
tudes. Spitzbergen is the only spot of
earth that is positively known as No
Mans land. 1t is the possession of
no country and has nothing even re-
sembling specified government. The
island seems likely to remain No
Mans Land, though it is said that an
effort has been made by Norway to
establish some sort of protectorate over
it.-Nationai Magazine.

In Russia it was the common belief
up to the time of Peter the Great that
beardless men We're also soulless and
that a man who purposely admitted
having his beard marred could never
enter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathens to
shave up" so as to appear more civil
lized, and when they refused to comply
with his edict he fined the wealthy and
middle classes 100 rubles for each
beard that was permitted to grow and
each peasant and laborer a kopeck fol
the same privilege. Finally the priests
were appealed to, and they Informed
their parishioners that unless they sub,

"Why. I thought everything was

Yes but somehow Henry traced
nearly all of the things, and what be
could not buy he somehow managed to
duplicate at secondhand shops. Henry
always did think your mothers house
was the finest in Grafton Heights, and
before he was doing so well he used to
tell me that he meant some day to earn
a house just like it for me-"
Madeline felt the room spinning
around her. There were other things
Henry Carruth had tried to tell her
more than once, but he had been a
poor, struggling lawyer and she well
paid illustrator even then. She had
talked of trip to Paris, a career-and
where had it all gone? Lost in wan
behring's through a desert of apartment
houses, studios, teas and luncheons.
But Henry had realized his ambition or
part Of it at least Perhaps now he did
not care so much about the rest.
She never knew just how it happen
ed, but Mrs. Carruth had soon taken
forting cup of tea, she had led her
guest over the old house. The bay
window had made a great improve
| ment in Madelines quarters; otherwise
they were quite the same. with even
some of her first drawings framed and
hung above her old fashioned desk.
Downstairs once more, she gathered
up her wraps and was drawing on her
| gloves when Mrs. Carruth excused her
self to look after some dinner details.
Madeline stood by the window looking
at the arbor over which wistaria now
chung like loving harmless old octo-
pus. She reached out one hand and
felt lovingly of the old fashioned dam
ask hangings. A step sounded behind
her, and without turning around she
remarked, with something of a choke
in her voice:
Mrs. Carruth, l never knew before
the bitterness of that old saying, "A
rolling stone gathers no moss-not even
pleasant memories"
A hand rested appealingly on her
shoulder. She looked up to meet Hen
ry Carruth's grave glance
II know of coy corner just meant
for tired rolling stones. VIII you
come, Madeline?"
1t was midnight when he came back
from town, but Mrs. Carruth was wait

all these disturbing years-just acted
as If she herself were to blame for 4
foolish ambition for career. That is
true loyalty, and it makes me all the
more willing to trust my boy to her
care"
And Mrs. Carruth turned to find her
son by the window, his rugged face
pressed against the old damask hang
ing where he had found his first and
only love that afternoon.
