Mistaken Identity.

Reginald Vanderbilt, at dinner in
New York, denied that, during the
Pittsburg horse show, he had snubbed
Pittsburg society.
''The trouble lay in the fact" said
Mr.. Vanderbilt, "that in Pittsburg 1
was misunderstood. I was taken for a
society man Of leisure, when really I
was Woodworking horseman without
minute to spare"
He laughed.
"It was a case," he said, "of mis-
taken identity, like that of the little
Newport boy. He, with his little
brothers and sisters, was being taught
natural history by his governess
through the instrumentality of game.
The game was called 'Barnyard.' One
child was a turkey, another a duck, a
third calf. and SO on. A noisy, de-
lightful game, and much natural his
tory was no doubt learnt through it.
But my little boy remained, in all the
tumult, as still as death. Far off In q
corner he crouched, silent and alone.
The governess, spying him, approached
Indignantly.
"'Come,' she said, play! Be a
rooster! Flap your wings and crow =
"'S-sh,' said he. I'm laying an
egg"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Supreme judicial court of Massa-
chusetts in Mulvey vs.. City Of Boston,
81 Northeastern Reporter, 4O2, held
that change by the legislature Of the
statute Of limitations from six years
to two, allowing 80 days in which to
bring actions for personal injuries
against cities, which accrued more than
two years before, is not unconstitution-
al and that in small state like Mas
sachusetts where means Of communion
ton are so adequate, an allowance of
30 days Is reasonable time in which
to bring an action which would be bar
red by the change.
The parties to the case Of Johnson VS..

counts. 1t appeared that plaintiff was
Indebted to defendant for $54O; in pay

defendant mare. Subsequently plain
tiff found that he was mistaken in sup
posing himself indebted to defendant
and brought action for the recovery of
$54O Defendant offered to prove that
the mare was worth not more than
$50, which offer the court refused and
plaintiff recovered judgment for $465.
The Supreme Court of Iowa held that
recovery should have been limited to
the value Of the mare, expressing the
devout hope that the unfortunate mare,

Loading Freight by Cards.

II don't know whether the practice
Is still kept up In the far south, but
remember how tickled I was at seeing
the method used in loading goods into
freight cars down in Mississippi some
while ago." said a railroad man of st.
Louis.
"A lot Of strapping black fellows will
be on the job under the supervision Of
white man, who will be issuing Or
ders with great volubility. Put this
aboard the king Of diamonds; take this
to the ace Of hearts; load this on the
ten Of spades; this to the jack of clubs,
and SO on, and then you'll notice each
one of the long line Of freight cars has
tackled on it some one Of the fifty-tw
cards composing a full deck. The Sem
egambian loafers for the most part
were ignorant of letters and figures,
but every man Of them knew the paste
board emblems which he had often
handled in games of seven up. That
next to craps is the chief diversion of
the colored sports Of Dixie."-Balti-

point Of view, and backs up his argu-

Women In Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment of
women in the postal service new
idea. AS early as 1913 woman post.
master was appointed to look after
the mails Of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by woman,
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1923 to
1916 she was in charge Of the mails
of the German empire, the Neither,
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth CEN
fury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge Of the post
office in Salem, Mass.
