must have a most wholesome and last
ing effect upon the life of this country.
Your visit has made us doubly proud
and thankful that we are Americans.

fore the Egyptian university has arous-
ed the extreme nationalists to state

left the hotel fearing violence. Colonel
Roosevelt was not in the hotel at the
time but drove up shortly afterwards.
He said he had heard a noise which re-
minded him of American college cries,
but he had no Idea that he was tho
cause of it. Another protest meeting
was held at which speeches less violent
than at the first meeting were made.
Great efforts were put forth to induce
Col. Roosevelt to attend, but he smil-
irgly declined.
There was a great crowd at the sta

of absorbing interest to all. Sir Elden

NEW FORM OF ECONOMY.

President Shonts, OF the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company in
New York City, a few weeks ago
found seventy-hve million antique
tickets in his storeroom. These tick
cts bore the name OF the Manhat-
tan Railway Company, which no
longer exists, but Mr. Shonts, who Is
an economical soul, decided that
they could very well be used on the
elevated railroad, and considerable
printing bill saved. The true In
wardness Of thisdevice became plain
later on when the public discovered
that these tickets became brittle
when carried in the pocket, and went
to pieces. AS it 1t not feasible to ap-
proach the ticket man with dozen
small pieces of dirty paper and ask
him to let you ride on his train in
exchange for them, iteis quite posi-
BILE that President Shonts has hit
upon a brand new idea in traction
finance-tickets which are buyable
but not usable The profit to the
company under this system might
well be marvellous. and, in time, the
troublesome and expensive running
of trains might be dispensed with en-
tirely.-From Success Magazine.
