Descended from Irish Kings.

The story of VIM. j. Bryan's in
terview with Miss Nellie O'Brien,
daughter of the eminent St. Paul
attorney, at Washington last week,
goes to show that the great COM
moner is not only a loyal descendent
of the "ould sod, but that he must
at some time have kissed the barney
stone during his visit to Ireland.
Speaking of the similarity of the
names Bryan and O'Brien-
"You see," said Mr.. Bryan to Miss
Nellie, ''in the old gap they all
spelled the name as | now spell
mine, but finally there arose great
man among the organs, and he was
made king, whereupon, in order to
distinguish his descendants from the
pelbeian members of the clan, the
letter 20" was attached to the name
by way of prefix. This prefix has
been retained by all the descendants
of that branch of the family to this
day to show their illustrious ancestry.
The common people of the clan, how
ever, have continued to spell the
name in the good old way"
THAT is very interestingstory,"
quickly replied Miss Nellie, land
prompts me to say that the day will
no doubt come when your descend
ants also will be calling themselves
O'Brjen," whereupon the commoner
bowed his best bow in recognition
of the very handsome compliment
The story of this conversation was
told very generally in the Minnesota
colony and Miss Nellie's reply voted
one of the best that could possibly
have been made.

Definition Of a Box Car.

Not all the instruction given to young
railroad men is intensely serious. The
following definition was recently Of
fered to a beginner: "A box car be-
longs to the fowl family. During the
spring and summer months it can be
found in nearly every part of the coun-
try, its favorite haunts being railway
tracks, and it is easy to capture. In
the autumn, however, like certain 9TH
er fowls, it goes into Information or
flies to other climes. Scattered in
stances are known where specimens
are captured during the autumn
months. A lasso or a well creased
switch crew is sometimes used in snar-
ing the box car, but main strength is
the best weapon. In any case the
hunter must be very wary, as any
noise like the futtering of a waybill
will make the quarry disappear. Some
railways own large aocks of domesti-
Gated box cars, but they are carefully
guarded during the closed season. The
wild box car when caught and fairly
we'll loaded becomes perfectly station.
