CHANGED HIS $500 BILL.
How One Man Rode Free Until HIS
Big Bill Was Changed.

When Capt. Tom Hanlon. the we'll
known New Albany politician, was a
conductor on the Southern Railway
through Kentucky he came in contact
with many remarkable characters. The
most unique of the number was Il
gentleman from the rural districts
who had a habit of boarding Capt.
Hanlon's train and producing CEN
fury note, which he offered in payment
for his four-mile journey.
OF course, the conductor was in
variably shy the required amount 10
make the necessary change for the
800 bill. and so the practice Of riding
for nothing continued until the willy
railroader hit upon the novel plan OF
getting sufficient lucre in and l cent
pieces to take his customers big bilf
into camp, which he did, with the re-
result that thereafter the gentleman
from the timber region always handed
over the exact amount when he was
asked for his fare.-Louisville Times.

THE HOWE PORTRAIT
Must Hang in Faneuii Hall, Says
Mayor Fitzgerald.

Boston. Jan. l6--Whether 4 portrait
of Julia Ward Howe will be placed IN
Faneuil hall - not is to be determined
Monday when the arr commissioners
OF the city will meet and hear the spe-
cial committee of the Julia Ward ho"e
memorial eommittee.
Manor Fitzgerald and members OF
the committee are prepared to carry
the matter to the Legislature IN the
event Of the commissioners refusai
to rescind their former vote and al
low the portrait To be placed in the
hall.
The feeling in City hall is that the
mayor will probably have Il chance To
carry out his intention in the Leglsla-
ture for it is understood that the com
missioners will not give their consent,
but will reatfirm their former action.
The whole matter has stirred up the
artists and architects of the city IN
way that is quite opposed to the gen.
cral public sentiment and to the atti-
tude of those who want the portrait
to be hung in Faneuil hall.
The executive committee Of the Bos-
ton Society of Architects at Il meeting
Saturday gave expression To its feel
ings in regard to the Art Commission
in the following resolutions:
Resolved. that the executive com
mittee of the Boston Society ot Arehi-
teets hereby expresses its sense OF the
importance TO the city of the work
which is being done by the Art Conn
mission and its confidence that the
members of that commission are moved

Signs Posts for Aeronauts.

Since the rapid development in the
science of aerial navigation the ques-
ton has frequently arisen regarding
some practical method whereby the
aeronaut might readily determine his
exact location ut any particular time
during flight. This matter has been
Il topic of general discussion at the
Aero Club of Berlin, and now Captain
Won krankenberg, the director of that
organization. has proposed in elabor-
ate system of providing guiding signs
for halloonists.
The Captains invention nccessitates
the construction of giant letters and
signs about nine feet in length, which
shall be placed in conspicuous places
Throughout Europe. Each country
would be represented by different
letter The initial d." for example,
would stand Tor Deutschland, and
the various administrative districts
would be marked by individual, num-
bers. The aeronaut who saw the sign
DIS" could refer to a code book and
tell at once that he was over Chem
nitz, in Germany. An additional sym
Dol would be sufficient TO determine
the particular commune of Chemnitz.
O,her characters could be used to de-
note the proximity of n hydrogen fac
tory, a gasoline depot or dangerous
landing place. After nightfall these
signs would all be illuminated by cleo
tricity.

ed for consideration before the princi-

BUYING BOGUS LACE.
Not Altogether Without Satisfaction.

Salem women who thought that they
were buying genuine bobbin lace made
by expert lace makers in Boston--and
one OF them confesses that she bought
ST. worth of it-have awakened to the
fact that it was the worst kind OF an
imitation being for sale in the five and
10 cent stores at those prices. We
wonder how many Lowell women have
been fooled in the same manner. There
have been two or three clever women
of foreign birth selling such lace here
for as many years. They represent
il as being genuine handmade lace
brought from abroad; and there is a
certain charm to this formula that in
vests lace with a mystery that really
seems to give il superiority that it
does not possess. Prices range locally,
we believe. from 80 to so cents a ward ::
which is n pretty good profit. when one
can buy from the dime stores at not
higher than 10 cents for the yard
What lot of bogus things there are
in the world. anyway. At Pompeii
YOU can buy excavated lamps dating
from the destruction of the city, and
manufactured in Bridgeport. CT. In
Morocco they sell YOU Arab knives
made in England. In Japan American
goods are sold that were made in the
islands and decorated with mispelled
American wrappers. And there are
always the old masters" painted by
needy artists and sold to the new rich
OF all lands.
We're one so inclined he might dis
cuss the psychological side OF the mat
ter. and consider whether the bogus
article, accepted for the real thing by
the person who hasn't ever seen the
genuine, doesn't after all afford it's
value of satisfaction Quite few
men who have been thought heroes by

who pass muster as statesmen really

to the value that is placed upon them.
II may be just as we'll in this world

and mark everything down.
If YOU have bought imitation lace for
the real thing, use il just the same. Ia

Washington, Jan. 16.-An attack on

next week to the supreme court OF the
