| Once when the late Alfred Austin
had paid a visit to Tennyson. his I'M
mediate predecessor, Tennyson walked
with him as far as the gate which led
TO the highway. There, says Alfred
Austin IN his autobiography. while the
elder poet stood leaning on the gate,
a party OF wide eyed sightseers ap-
peared.
"yVhat a vulgar people the English
are!r Tennyson exclaimed. .'They come
here to watch for me. and when they
see me they say quite loudly, There's
Tennyson!"
Mr.. Austin aeterward repeated this to
Lady Tennys N. who smiled tenderly.

HONOR BELONGS TO FITCH
Connecticut Man Built Steamboat
Twenty Years Before Fulton
Launched the cIermont.

The first trial of John Fitch's pion-
eer sidewheel steamboat was made on
the Delaware August D, 1887, antici-
pating FultOn's Clermont by 20 years.
Fitch was aSnative of Connecticut and
prior to building his steamboat had
been an armorer in the military serv-
Ice during the Revolution, a surveyor
in Virginia, and a manufacturer of
sleave in Trenton. In 1886 he COM
menced work on his first steamboat,
after experimenting with q skiff pro-
PEELED by steam. This pioneer craft
was fitted with an engine Of Pinch
cylinder, and though the boat did not
attain sufficient speed to answer the
purpose Of a packet, the trial proved
conclusively the efficiency of steam as
motive power for vessels. In 1888
Fitch built q second steamboat, which
made several passages between Phil
adelphia and Burlington at the rate
Of four miles an hour. In 1870 third
craft was built and was run as a pas
senger craft on the Delaware, making
during the season more than 1000
miles at an average speed Of seven
and one-half miles an hour Although
John Fitch scored the first practical
success in steam navigation, he was a
failure financially, and in 1898 he COM
mitted suicide at Bardstown, KY.

A reporter and q photographer, bent

James J. Hill, in His First Dress Suit,
Could Understand Why coIored
Man ChuckIed.

For the trappingS of society James
]. Hill had little use, the Wall Street
Journal states He abominated the
stiffness and fOrmality Of social func-
lions. An old friend, recalling Mr..
Hills dislike for formal society, told of
how upon one occasion when the Hill
family gave an evening reception at st.
Paul Mr.. Hill was persuaded, only with
the utmost difficulty, to don a dress
suit.
For the occasion an old coIored man
from the Great Northern offices was to
act at the door of the Hill residence.
He stood at his post, awaiting the
guests, when Mr.. Hill attired in his
evening clothes came down stairs. The
attendant, who had been with Mr.. Hill
for years, when he saw, his boss in
the unaccustomed attire, chuckled
aloud. Mr.. Hill caught the sound,
and looked up. The retainer turned in
dismay. Mr.. Hill strobe up to him,
caught him by the shoulders, and said /:
''What are you laughing at?''
"'Deed, wasn't laughing" gasped
the servant.

Work and Play.

South Americans have, not yet
learned that play is as necessary to
the child as is work. "a sound mind
in a sound body" has not been stressed
to the people Of that continent as it
has to those OF North America. They
think that time spent in play is time
lost-and they frown upon it. 1.-THE
parents wish to keep their children
porting over their books, and believe
that recreation interferes with their in
tellectuaI development" said a mem
Der Of the national committee on ply
steal education Of Uruguay recently.
It is only in recent years that the peo-
pie of the United States have realized
that children must be taught TO play
just as they must be taught to think.
There are yet among US some who
think that money spent on Fairgrounds
and on instructors is money lost-but
we are gradually learning; and the
South American will learn, too.-Hous

Horse Realized Danoer-

ca shows the instructive foresight and

Uitenhagers went out for a two-days'

after excellent sport their bag totaled
Is buck. One of the huntsmen, re-
turning to Aldo at dusk had an adven-
ture with an elephant. He was on
horseback and was riding quickly
along the road, when his horse came
to an abrupt stand then suddenly
veered round and bolted. A boy who
was also mounted, argued that it was
probably an OK in the road, and went
off in front. On reaching the spot they
were confronted by a big bull ele-
plant, whose attitude was Of such a
fighting nature that they decided to
return and complete their journey to
Aldo by another road.
