coaxed the porter, and

coaXed the porter, and
 that you ain't fetched"
 The rumble of the train was once more lost in the vocal exercises from Lower Eight" and the porter, pull ing his cap over his eyes, mapped in the smoking compartment.
 "..iuch! Ouch! Help! Help!" and a red face shot out of Lower Eight" The porter slouched up the aisle, dis gust written on his countenance.
 "Gawd. porter groaned the fat man. "Is there doctor on board? I'm horribly punctured Did you see the villain when he stabbed me?"
 "Kain't nobody stab you, sah." re- monstrated the porter sternly. No body ain't moved in this car. You've got the deleriam trimmins. that's what's the matter wifi you. If you don't lie still and stop your hOllerin |, me and the conductor Is goin' to strap you down"
 "I don't see what they mean by putting drunken brutes in the car with ladies'" exclaimed an acid voice from Upper Ten"
 Put him of at the next station. This is supposed to be a sleeping car," growled Lower Four" He hasn't done a thing but keep every body awake with his internal grunt- ing since he turned in"
 From all along the line of curtains came uncomplimentary comments, but there was silence in Lower Seven" where lay the timid young thing who had got on at Norfolk.
 Never had such bad dreams in my life," said Lower Eight" addressing the car in general Dreamed the same thing three times in succession I believe it is a warning. If any ac' cident is going to happen tonight. die with my boots on. I'm going tC get up"
 A thrashing about told the other passengers that the fat man was as good as his word. A sigh of relief was breathed through the car as the fat man numbered by the curtains to the smoking room. to spend the rest of the night breeding over the mys tery.
 When the timid young thing crept from her berth the next morning there was something about the smile which lurked around her mouth that made the porter scratch his head.

HAD SYSTEM OF ELEVATORS
Scientist Has Found Proof That Romans Knew of Labor Saw
 ing Device.

Prof Boni Is reported to have made an important discovery in the course of his excavations in the Forum. at Rome. While exploring some under ground passages near the north ros- tra of Caesar he found in 12 small rooms or galleries traces of former system of elevators.
 In each room there are unmistak- able traces of grooves through which ropes passed and stone supports for wooden poles that were fixed verti- cally inside the passages. The profes- sor Is convinced that platforms in- stalled in these rooms served to raise to the surface the giadiators and wild beasts that participated in the circus games and that hence they were nothing else but elevators or lifts. Thus what until recently was consid- cred modern invention was used by the Romans under the republic There are no traces of similar elevators in buildings belonging to the imperial pe- riod and in all likelihood no attempt was made to improve the movable platforms in later times.

QUEER PLACE FOR LIGHTSHlP
Government Has Ordered It Moored in Peach Orchard 40 Miles
 Inland.

A lightship in the heart of Delaware and in a peach orchard at that? Sounds strange. but according to No tice to Mariners No. 27" that Is pre- cisely what the lighthouse board con- templates.
 Fenwick Island Shoal lightship, off the Delaware coast, Is to be moved. and according to this official bulletin 1t is to be placed in latitude north 3S degrees 27 minutes 25 seconds, longi- tude west 75 degrees 46 minutes 40 seconds.
 Mariners upon receiving copies of the notice sent out by the lighthouse board concerning the change prompt ly began to plot it out on their charts. When they found that the ship would be located 40 miles inland from the coast they rubbed their eyes and be- gan to calculate over again, but each time the ightship brought up in a Delaware peach orchard.
 How does it happen" Lieut.. Com. Bispham. lighthouse engineer of this district. was asked. that Fenwick Is- land Shoal lightship Is to be moved inland""
 Why, of course 1t isn't" Then he, too, began to use instruments. and brought up where the mariners had Its a mistake.' he said, and there will have to be a correction. We don't want them trying to navigate through the state of Delaware. That longitude should be "A degrees instead of 75."- Philadelphia North American.

 "The defendant had been accused of selling adulterated liquor, and some whisky was offered in evidence. This was given the jury as evidence to as sist in its deliberations.
 When they finally filed into court. his honor asked:

 The Pullman car porter had settled himself for a comfortable nap, having snugly tucked away the last of his charges, including the fat man in Lower Eight" and the timid young thing who had boarded the train at Norfolk The porter stirred uneasily in his nap, for the snoring that was arising from Lower Eight" drowned the roar of the train. The snoring came in gurgles, moans and whistling, the like of which had never been heard in heaven above or on the earth beneath. The curtains of Lower Eight" had swung slightly open with the lurch of the train, and the Tat man could be seen lying on his broad back. with his mouth gaping wide.
 AS his slumber deepened, he was apparently in the last throes of chok- ing when a neatly rolled umbrella. held in slender white hand. crept out from Lower Seven," where the timid young thing was shrinking. and made vicious jab between the cur tains of Lower Eight"
 Porter! Porter!" came whoop from Lower Eight" and the bell trilled wildly.
 What is it, sah?" cried the startled porter as he bounded down the aisle. Did you stab me in the side?' de manded the fat man in dire wrath.
 "Oh, no, sah!" replied the porter "I never done no thing like that. You must have been dreaming. sah
 "Confound you, I'm not dreaming! growled Lower Eight
 Well, sah," argued the porter, his black hand concealing his gleaming worries you know that when you turned in you had took a little moan than was jess good fo any gemman.
