Preparinq For a Journey.

Jerome X. Jerome recalled with rev.
erence habit of his methodical uncle,
who, before packing for journey. al
ways made a list" This was the
system which he followed, gathered
from his unclc's own lips:
Take piece of paper and put down
on 1t everything you can possibly re-
ouIre. Then go over it and see that
it contains nothing you can possibly
do without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very we'll; put it down.
together with a change. You get up.
What do you do? Wash yourself.
What do You wash yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. 60 on till you
have finished. Then take your clothes.
Begin at your feet. What do you wear
Oh your feet? Boots, shoes, socks.
Put them down. Work up till you get
to your head. What do you want be-
sides clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman
always pursued. The list made. he
would 60 over it carefully to see that
he had forgotten nothing. Then be
would 60 over it again and strike out
everything it was possible to dispense
with Then he would lose the list

Got the Train Stopped.

When the late Robert Bonner pur
chased Maud S. he sent her to Char
ter Oak park to be trained. One day
q friend Of Mr. Bonner left New
York to visit him at the park. but
found that the train did Got stop at
that station. The conductor was
polite, but said that be could not go
against orders. At New Haven halt
was made. and Mr.. Bonner's friend
tried to bride the engineer with
ten dollar bill. but in vain. lie was
then told that Charles P. Clark, the
president Of the road. was on the
train. and he went to him.
why don't you see the CONDUCTOR"
asked Mr.. Clark.
Il have, but he will not disobey
orders"
"Why not then go forward and
bribe the cngineer?'
81 tried bribery at New Haven, but
It would not work"
The absence Of evasion was the
best policy. Mr. Clark not only gave
orders to have the train stopped at
Charter Oak, but promised some day
to see Maud S. He had witnessed the
attempt at bribery, and the frank con-
fession Of the offense seemed to please
him.

Golf In the Old DAYS.

Centuries back golf was q pastime
of the royal family, though then usu-
ally played in Scotland. The Stuart
family was very fond of the game,
and the first English club was estab-
Ished at Blackheath in 1905 by James
I. His eldest son. Henry, frequently
played and on one occasion nearly
struck by accident his tutor with a
club, whereupon he coolly remarked,
"Had I done so | had but paid my
debts" Charles !. was playing golf
when he received the news Of the
Irish rebellion. James, duke Of York.
afterward James H.. was another
ardent player. Golf is frequently
mentioned in ancient Scottish records
and in the fifteenth century was pro-
hibited because it intcrfered with the
practice Of archery. Strut consid-
cred it the most ancient game at ball
recurring bat.-London Standard.

The Enemies.

A PROPOS of the enmity, now happily
buried. that used to exist between
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Senator Clapp
said al dinner in the former city:
Il remember an address on careless
building that l once heard in Min
neapolis.
Why said the speaker, in the course
of this address, 'one inhabtant of ST.
Paul is killed by accident in the streets
every forty-eight hours.

hall interrupted.

killed by an auto, compared to which as
an engine OF death the trolley car is
over four times and the horse vehicle
nearly five times as fatal. But of course,
this showing results from the fact that
in a vast area of the country the auto
mobile is as yet little used, save by the
opulent classes. Yet last year we turned
out $4,000 new automobiles. and the rate
CT production this year he's been much
greater.
Winters cold causes hardly more than
third as many violent deaths among
US as summers heat only one person in
each 100000 of us being annually frozen
to death or suddenly killed by exposure to
the blasts of the frigid season. But here
we run into the same qualifying factor
met with in the case of sun and heat
stroke. If winters dangers threatened
the year round. like those of firearms,
poisons, ears, etc, violent deaths from
freezing would be more than doubly as
frequent as those from automobile acct
dents, considerably more numerous
than those from fractures or Suffocation
and equal to those caused by machinery
Lightning was found to be the chief
bugaboo of large number of individ-
uals among whom the noted psychol-
ogist G. Stanley Hall made a census of
fears some time ago. Yet these census
figures show that you are more likely
to be frozen to death, are four times
as likely to be suffocated five and a
half times as likely to be shot to
death, over nine times as likely to be
fatally poisoned or killed by gas, near
ly eleven times as likely to be killed
by horse and carriage, over twenty
times as likely to be burned or Scalded
to death and tWenty-siX times as like
ly to be drowned as you are to be
slain by thunderbolt. But were
lightning in season the year round it
would rank with suffocation and frac
ture and would, as a cause of fatal
violence, score nearly twice as heavily
as the automobile as a cause of Vio-
lent death.
Starvation and privation are the
