A THRILLING RIDE.
Tho Piano Run Frenchnan Gave q
Locomotive Engineer.


ST was lettering around the streets
last night" said Jim Nelson. one Of the
old locomotive engineers running into
New Orleans. AS | had nothing to
do l dropped into a concert and heard
sleek looking Frenchmau play
piano in a way that made me feel AL
over in spots. AS soon as he sat down
on the stool | knew by the way he
handled himself that he understood
the machine he was running. lie
tapped the keys away up one end, just
as If they We're gauges and he wanted
to see If he had water enough. Then
he looked up as if he wanted 10 know
how much steam he was carrying. and
the next moment he pulled open the
throttle and sailed on to the main line
as If he was half an hour late. You
could hear her thunder over culyertS
and bridges and getting faster and
faster, until the fellow rocked about
in his seat like cradle. Somehow |
thought il was old Sc pulling a pas
senger train and getting out Of the
way of a special. The fellow worked
the keys on the middle division like
lightning, and then he flew along the
north end Of the line until the drivers
went around like a buzz saw and | got
excited. About the time | was fixing
TO tell him TO cut her off a little he
kicked the hampers under the machine
wide open, pulled the throttle away
back in the tender, and how he did
run! l couldn't stand it any longer.
and yelled to him that he was pound
ing in the left side, and If he wasn't
careful he'd drop his ash pan. But
he didn't hear. No one heard me-
Everything was flying and whizzing

and all the time the exhaust of the
old machine sounded like the hum Of a
bumblebee. | tried to yell out, but my
tongue wouldn't move. He went
around the curves like bullet, slipped
an eccentric, blew out his soft plug

mile and not controlling brake set.
She went by the meeting point at a
mile and a half a minute, and calling
for more steam. My hair stood up
straight, because | knew the game was
up. Sure enough, dead ahead Of us
was the headlight of a special. In a
daze heard the crash as they struck,
and l saw cars shivered into atoms,
people smashed and mangled and
bleeding and gasping for water |
heard another crash as the French
professor struck the deep keys away
down on the lower end Of the southern
division, and then l came to my senses.
There he was at a dead StandStill,
with the door of the tirebox Of the
machine open, wiping the perspiration
off his face and bowling to the people
before him. If l live to be a thousand
years old I'll never forget the ride
that Frenchman gave me on a piano"

The Roman Tribune.

The tribunes in ancient Rome repre-
scented the people in much the same
way that the house OF commons does
in England and the house OF repre-
sentatives in this country. For long
time the patricians or aristocrats of
Rome had everything their own way.
But when the plebeians Tor, as we
would say, the plain people'0 got their
tribune the reckless tyranny OF the
patricians ceased. The tribune had
great power He could veto almost
any act and nullify almost any law
passed by the Romans. Liberty among
the Romans dates from the time they
first secured their tribunes.-New York

TRICKY ART DEALERS.
Astute Partisan Scheme For Booming
New Master"

For the booming of new artist an
astute dealer is necessary. He catches
his artist as young as possible. prefer
ably as an exhibitor Of crazy canvases
at the autumn salon OF the independ-
ents' exhibition. and commissions him
10 paint 100 pictures a year.
One by one, occasionally in twos and
threes. at judicious intervals the deal
er sends the pictures to the Hotel
Drouot for sale by public auction
There he has confederates, who raise
the price at each sale, and he buys
them in himself.
After a few months the young ar
lists canvaSes have q certain market
value. and the next step is taken TO
turn their painter into q modern mas
ter. The critics are attacked. One OF
them IS asked TO look at some daub.
and when be cries out with horror the
dealer says:
What? You don't like It? Take 1t
home with you as a favor to me. live
with ii six months and then
In due course an art amateur calls
upon the critic and cannot contain his
admiration for the new artists pic

modern thing IN art have seen for a
long time he exclaims
Doubt begins TO invade the critics
mind, and when one or two more en-
thusiastic amateurs have visited him
he is worked up 10 writing a column
of panegyric on the new master The
amateurs are, of course, sent by the
dealer.

The new master makes about 10 per
cent of the profit and the dealer the
other 90 per cent. The new master is
at the mercy of the dealer. If he
grumbies the dealer floods the auction
rooms with hundred or so of his
masterpieces and orders his agents not
TO bid. the result being that the can
vases sell at rubbish prices. and the
boom is burst.-Gil Bias.

A Spartan Father.

Recently first year high school pu-
Pill handed her history teacher what
she evidently considered an exhaustive
and final study of Lacedaemonian Gus
toms. In it she stated that one Spar
tan habit of strengthening youth was
to compel the boys to sleep always on
beds and thistles.
The incident reminds one Of a story
that is told of one of the Camerons of
Lochiel.
The chief. when bivOuacking with
his son in the snow, noticed that the
lad had rolled up a SNOWFALL to make
a pillow. He thereupon rose and kick
ed it away, saying sternly, No eff
feminacy, boy"-Youth's Companion.

Heat.

Little things like bacilli will live in
a temperature of above 211 degrees F.
Experimental observations of stOkers
have shown that man is a cousin to
the salamander. Dante made six fiery
circles Of hell and felt constrained to
resort to ice for the seventh and last
condemnation Of souls. Heat. in other
words, is a relative term. Heat IS
benefcient If you like things hot. 1t
depends on the point of view. Heat is
supposed to be enervating The hook
worm Is engendered by it. But, then,
a race horse will go much faster on Il
hot day than a cool one. The fiercest
rays Of the sun appear to lubricate the
joints. There are various kinds of
heat, such as just common, everyday
heat, prickly heat and the heat of de
bate, etc.-Kansas City Times.

quarters Of an hour the stone burst

LONDON THEATERS.
They Charge From a Penny to Six
pence For Bill Of the Play.

They Charge From Penny to Six
pence For a Bill Of the Play.
At the London theaters when the
young woman shows you to a seat she
asks if you wish a program. If you
do you pay sixpence in the orchestra
or dress circle for a program hand
somely printed on fine paper. The
price ranges down through 'thrip-
pence" and ''tuppence" as the CALLER
les ascend to a penny in the cockloft-
The quality of paper and the general
artistic merit of the program decline
with the price, but exactly the same
information is conveyed for a penny
as for sixpence. The fastidious thea
ter goer might prefer to pay a dime for
a neat and simple program rather than
to have q bulky bunch of advertise
ments gratis, as in New York, but
these London programs, although not
so thick as those of New York, are not
devoid of advertisements. This gives
the purchaser the feeling that he is be
ing worked at both ends. A lady re-
minds me. however, that n program in
n New York tkeater costs her 10 cents.
as the smeary printing rubs off on her
white gloves. the cleaning OF which
costs a dime.
The quality Of the performance at
the better London theaters certainly
averages no higher than that at SINH
lar theaters in New York. The music
halls are the resort Of the great mid
die class. These are great auditori-
ums with tier on tier Of galleries, the
seating capacity ranging perhaps from
5000 to 5OOO.-London Letter In New
