He was regular patron of the res
taurant. Perhaps that is why he felt
justified in making clever remarks to
the mattresses, remarks which they
were puzzled to know how to answer.
One day, however, the smallest and
timidest girl happened to be serving
this irritating customer, and it fell to
her to answer him in kind.
"Tll have some steak" he said, COM
ing in late for dinner, ''and some
squash, and some Got some baked
potatoes, fine, brown baked potatoes"

He leaned back in his chair and

"Baked potatoes all over, are they?"
he replied. "All over what?"

THEIR FATHERS.

All Three Were Trimmers, but One
Was Star.
The story, long since familiar, of the
little boy whose boast that his father
had put cupola on his house was
capped by his playmate, who remark
ed proudly that his father had just
put mortgage on theirs, is brought
to mind by an occurrence which was
told the other day by prominent poll
tician.
The small son of man who was in
politics for revenue only on moving
into a new district went out and
struck up an acquaintance with two
other kids of the same age who lived
in the neighborhood. They were in
terested in the newcomer and began
to try him out as to what his parents
amounted to anyhow.
"My father is window trimmer and
an awfully big man," said the first
kid.
"Ah, that's nothin'w said the second.
"My fathers a dump trimmer, and
he's twice as big as yours"
1t was plainly up to the stranger to
make good. And he did it with much
gusto.
"My father is politician" he said,
"but heard a man tell him last night
that he was the biggest trimmer In
this ward"
And 1t was apparent to any one that
the new kid had made a strong i'm

translation of the Lords Prayer into
the Delaware Indian tongue. The Eng
ush translator had as an assistant an
Indian who knew English. "What is
'hallow' in Delaware?" asked the trans

loo" and gave him the equivalent.
Therefore the Delaware version of the
Lords Prayer reads. "Our Father, who
art in heaven, hallooed be thy name"

To see horse when out ut pasture

he always rolls over either at the first

WASHED AWAY HIS HOME.
The Fortune That Came to a Man and
His Clever Wife.

His Clever Wife.
An Irishman named Whalen found
q fortune In q very amusing way,
says the Cape Town Argus. With the
savings of his wife he bought not far
from Ballarat few acres of ground
containing water pool and sluggish
spring. With the mud and gravel from
the bottom of the pool he made sun
dried bricks and, building a cabin for
himself and family. started q bar for
the miners.
Quite contrary to their usual habits,
q colony of Cinnamon living near by
commenced to visit his bar every
night. Then Mrs. Whalen discovered
that some one had bit by bit carried
off the mud pigstye and its surround
ing wall so gradually that 1t had al
most gone before she noticed ii. Soon
the chimney and the cabin walls also
began to vanish. After O careful
watch Mrs Whalen discovered that
while one band of Cinnamon kept her
husband busy in the bar another band
was stealing the chimneys and walls.
Whalen knew the Cinnamon were no
fools, and, acting on his wife's sugges-
tion, he also "stole pan of dirt" from
his own chimney and washed it out.
Then he ordered tents for his family
to live in and washed away the entire
house. 1t was literally built of gold
dust. After that the pool and the
spring were also attacked, and the re-
suit was big fortune for the lucky
Irishman and his cute little wife

Diseas ses of Fear,

If you are afflicted with an unreason-
able fear of anything do not waste
time being ashamed of yourself; hurry
at once to a doctor, advises a writer
in Success Magazine. \ writer in the
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette has
compiled list of fear diseases from
which it appears that everything, from
screaming at mice to being afraid to
go home In the dark is a we'll recog-
nized mental ailment. The tramp is
in reality a sufferer from ergophobia.
or fear of work, often complicated
with aquaphobia and sapophobia,
which make him shun the bathtub.
Siderophobia and astrophobia cause
timid ladies to go into the closet when
it thunders and lightens. Any number
of people have cat and dog phobias
Phantophobia is what you would have
if you were afraid of your shadow,
while an all around unqualified cow
ard might be called a phantophobiac.

human weakness except the actress

HAND Of HAWLEY
IN RIO GRANDE
Mystery of Appointment of 7. M.
Schumacher Thought
To be Solved.
HILL HAS FINGER IN THE PIE
Considered rs Significant That Passes
On Western Pacific Expire
On April 80, 1910.

The latest of special interest in rail-
way circles is the claim. advanced on
what is regarded by old time railrond
men as the most reasonable yet pro-
posed, that the mystery so long ..ur-
rounding the appointment of Thomas
NJ. Schumacher to be traffic manager
of the Western Pacific. is solved by
responsible for such appointment. It
Is claimed that he went in person to
George Gould to urge that this be
done, and in such a way that Mr..
Gould could hardly refuse Further
more. when this was done, Mr.. Schu-
machcr was appointed to the sAmc
position with the Rio Grande, also at
. the inSistent request of Mr.. Hawley.
That Mr.. Hawley has the closest re-
lations with James ]. Hill, has long
been understood, and Hill men have
been appointed to other and reSponsI-
bic positions with the Western Pacific.
among these being Charles c, Sevcy.
formerly vice president OF the Northern
Pacific. who is now vice president and
general manager of the Western Pacific.
So II Is framed up that Messrs. Hill
and Hawley are bringing the Western
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande into
closer relations with the Burlington
which 1t is claimed is to be the eastern
outlet of these two roads; also that
on April 80 next. when all passes over
the Western Pacific expire, an an
nouncement will be made that the
Denver & Rio Grande which owns
$50, 0O0. 900 of the SIS. .GO0.O 900 capital stock
OF the Western Pacific. has absorbed
the latter, SO that the D. & r. G. Will
extend from Denver on the east to
San Francisco on the west. The ap-
pointment of Mr. Schumacher as gen.
ernl traffic manager of both roads
leaves him undisturbed by this action

The Ire of other roads was aroused
because the Alton was reported to have
signed a contract with Kansas City
rate of 1Sh cents per 100 pounds be-
twccn Chicago and Kansas City. The
other roads assert that this rate is
too low to bring anything more than
the barest profit. The roads also say
that if the Alton puts the low rate into
effect they viii throw all the packing
business to the Alton and it will he so
blocked with small profit freight that
it will not be able to handle the high
