WHAT HE. HAD IN THE CHEST
All Was Made Clear When the Man Carrying It Got Off tho
 Train.

Man in an elevated car with small chest about twice as big as the box In which a carpenter carries a selected shoulder. A row of augur holes bored in the end of his chest and handle on top by which to carry 1t.
 There were only three or four peo- pie in the car and this man with the chest sat away down at one end, and with that chest on the floor in front he would about once in so often raise it's lid just a little, but you couldn't see in.
 In due course of time the train ar rived at the station where the man was to get off, and then he hooked the lid of that chest down and took it by the handle and walked out in the most matter of fact manner pos sible, but when he had got about ten feet away from the foot of the steps he set the chest down and unlocked the hooks and threw back the lid and out hopped two small, white, shaggy, odd-looking but intelligent dogs. They wagged their tails with evident pleas ure at getting their feet on the ground once more and out in the open air.
 The man hooked the lid of the cAest down again and picked it up by its handle and then with the two dogs trotting beside him, each on leash held in the other hand, he started on for where he was going.

DIDN'T NEED TO SWEAR OFF
It Was Really a Monkey the Ohio Man Saw in His Hotel
 Bed

The story of the monkey that was discovered in the bed of a visitor at the Waldorf few nights ago struck a responsive chord in the recollection of an Ohio man who once came to New York for week of rest and recreation.
 The day he landed he got into poker game and for seven days he stuck at it, the game being punctuat- ed as many poker games are. On the last day he started in to play at o'clock in the afternoon. He quit at 11:20, cleaned out.
 Going upstairs in his hotel and opening the door, he noticed his valise sitting on the floor and decided he would get a clean handkerchief out of it and sit down and think it over. AS he stopped over his glance fell upon the bed. From the spot where his head might have been two beady green eyes in a hairy little face gleamed at him.
 According to the Ohioan's account he made not single exclamation. He simple closed the valise, turned out the light and shut the door from the outside. He went downstairs, took two or three turns about the lobby, gave it up, called for cab and spent the night driving about. first to one place and then to another Daylight found him still going about. and he did not revisit the hotel until late in the afternoon, when he went up to the room clerk to apologize. While standing there he heard somebody say, Well, they found that monkey after all.'
 Good Lord, I am saved." shouted the Ohio man, to the astonishment of the clerk. Then it was monkey aft CT all, and there is no need of my swearing off,

There are ten pipes, giving the player" a range of an octave with two "half notes" included. The stops are operated from the rear seat of the car, by means of wires running to a miniature keyboard attached to the back of the front seat.

HISTORY OF OLD FORT LEE
Consisted Merely of Earthworks and Was Abandoned by Order Of
 General Washington.

The Fort Lee of revolutionary days was on top of the Palisades, about two miles up the river from the viii lage of Edgewater, where the Fort Lee ferry has it's New Jersey landing. In the strict sense of the word, it was hardly worthy of being called f9ft. since it consisted merely of earth works. of which not vestige js to be seen today.
 Tradition says that the fort was laid out by Gen. Israel Putnam, and some of the historians thus account for the fact that the< defenses were rather expansive for their purpose. At first it wasIcalled Fort Constitu- tion, but as~soon renamed Fort Lee.
 This temporary stronghold was really constructed to cooperate with Vert Washington, on the New York side of the Hudson, in the defense or the river In the beginning it was be- lieved that the two defenses would be able to turn the British war fleet back and prevent it from getting up the river to West Point.
 But from the first Washington is kuOWn tO nave QuSSllOuCO us uSSANA ness and it was on his orders that il was finally evacuated. In November. 1776, all that was left of the American army in New Jersey abandoned the fort and set out on it's historic retreat @ Philadelphia
 Tradition says that there was fort under the cliff of the river front at some point not far from Edgewater earlier in the revolution, but there is no authentic record of its existence and 1t therefore cannot be credited.

Hymn Numbers for Phones.

The city missionary was growing because he found it difficult to remem- her the mission telephone number.
 q would like to change it to 79S." he said. "I could remember that, for 793 is the number of my favorite hymn. Five hundred and siXty-eight, the present number, was the favorite hymn of the superintendent in charge when the telephone was in stalled. The telephone company is very courteous in it's dealings with churches and missions. Whenever pos sible they allow the pastor to select his own number. As an aid to mem ory most of them choose the number of a popular hymn. That is the req son most churches and missions have low telephone numbers"

Promised Not to Respank His Wife.
 William Novalous of Ashley, near Wilkesbarre, Pa, pleaded guilty to spanking his wife because she was ex- travagant, and Alderman Ricketts of this city, who heard his story, dis charged him.
 He had been arrested by his wife and was not backward about admit ting that he had beaten her. "I give her a sum of money each month to run the house." he explained, and when I found that she had spent con siderable of this money for other things I was angry and took my razor strop and spanked her"
 As he promised not to take such ex- treme measures next time, and as Mrs. Novalous appeared none the worse for the spanking, Alderman Ricketts dis charged him.

 And isn't this something to be cheerful over? Why, Stevey, it's tho grandest thing going to think that ct the most valuable thing of all we've got as much as the man that rides b. us in a $10.000 automobile. But, and now I'm getting down to the sermon. Stevey, this most precious thing of all is the thing of which we are most wastefUl.
 eve get our full share of it sure, but we waste it ourselves shockingly.
 Don't waste time, Stevey. please don't. As you feel now you've got a million years ahead of you. more or less, plenty of time; but time is one of those things that once lost can never be recovered.

Dominoes First Played by Monks.

The game of dominoes was the in- vention of two French monks. In the beginning they found amusement by playing at primitive form of it with small fiat stones they had marked with spots to designate them. When a game was finished the winner was wont to declare his victory by reciting the first line of the vesper service "Dixit Dominus Domino meo." Be- fore long all of the monks in the mon- astery found recreation in the game. and presently the vesper line was cut down, for brevity's sake, to the one word Domino" thus furnishing the name which has clung to the game ever since.
