William II. Canniff, general man
ager of the Nickel Plate railroad. and
once immortaliZed by being mentioned
in Kipling's Captains Courageous -
was telling in Washington a while
ago about the way he settled a COM
plant against his railroad.
4 woman who lived near the Nickel
Plate could not sleep for the noise of
the choo-chOOs

the constant noise is simply awful.
Unless they cease running so many

indicates prosperity for the road.

Wrisley Brown, one of the smart
young lawyers in Atty. Gen. Greg
Ory"s department of justice, is en-
trusted with a great many special in
veStigatiOnS that would provide much
reading matter if Brown dared to
make his findings public. 1t was
Brown who prepared the governments
case in the Impeachment proceedings
against Judge ArchbOld a year or
two ago.
Owing TO the nature of Browns
work, he is constantly haraSSed by
newspaper correspondents and others
who wish him to talk about things
that he is not permitted TO talk about.
To avoid such unpleasant CONVEX
sations, Brown has his phone number
kept secret.
4 few days ago he returned from
Providence, r. l., where he had been
for two months at work on q big
bank case for the government. He
wanted 10 get some important papers
and catch the next train out again.
The moment he reached the station
in Washington he dashed into a phone
booth TO call up his apartment and
have the papers rushed down to him.
II want TO get Mr.. Wrisley Browns
phone number" he told the girl. She
explained, after q pause, that she had
instructions to connect only those who
knew the number.
''Ah, that's all right" said Brown.
in an easy, offhand tone. I've been
away for two months and have for
got the number This is Mr.. Brown
himself talking"
Brown is a romantic looking chap,
with soulful eyes and hair like the
ravens wing. and If he could have
met the operator face to face she
doubtless would have told him the
number. But under the circum-
stances, what she actually said to
him was this:
80 you don't know your own phone
number Good NIGHTi"
And hung up.

Franklin X. Lane, secretary of the
interior, does most of his reading in
bed. No matter what time he re-
tires he props himself up comfortably
among some pillows like a conNa-
lescent and reads a book for an hour.
Usually the book is a biography, and
If not that it is likely to be essays. He
likes biography of anybody at all who
ever accomplished anything, from
Garibaldi to Barnum.
The beauty of reading in bed, says
Lans, is that the imm ediate surround
ings give a constant suggestion of
dropping off to sleep. All the better.
If the book isn't interesting enough
to keep one awake, it isn't worth
reading.

small talk:
We'll, Mr. Chief Justice. how's the
supreme court going to decide those
antitrust cases next week."
1T isn't a matter that we're sup

White, pleasantly. still l don't mind
telling you, provided you'll give me
your assurance that it will go no fur
Their"
"Oh, l shan't tell a soul" declared
the cigar man earnestly. Not a
word"
White leaned over the counter and
whispered:
We're going to decide them
right"
