Miniature Japanese Village the Rotchd Gardens

Actual paths are formed in the small
grass plots, which are surrounded by
trees, gardens and flower beds. Fig
ures of little japanese maidens are
seen going to and from their temple
of worship. AS their Powered cos
tunes seem real, so do the Oriental
colorings Of the temple blend in uni

men may be seen in prayer. bowling
before the image they believe in. The
familiar two-wheeled chair. drawn by
a servant Of her own country and so
characteristic of the girl Of Japan as
her sole means OF conveyance, is also
plainly evident.
Another striking feature of these
Viennese gardens is the vegetable
section. One might not credit the
fact that such insignificant things as
eatables could be worthy OF note or
mention, but by arrangement of col
ors they are beautiful. The pink car

but one buxom lass who had worked
her way to the front row threw her
arms about the big station masters
neck and imprinted fervid smack on
his astonished countenance. Accord
ing to Egan's friends. the really funny
part of the story is that no one has
ever got him 10 admit that he didn't
like the experience.
Egan has another story about a kiss,
too. Like the $4,000 OSCILLATION it was
a reward for restoration of a large
sum of money, but 1t was one of the
station attendants and not Egan him
self who received II. One morning,
a short while before the Pennsylvania
Limited was due to leave at 1904, n
women's handbag was brought to tho
office by an attendant, who had found
it on the floor. Not many minutes
later n handsome and well gowned
women rushed frantically into the
room with an inquiry for such an
article. She was asked to describe the
bag and its contents and to tho US
constituent of every one in the room
her enumeration began, zone hundred
81 1000 bills" She went on to describe
jewelry. which she said was valued at
much more. The station master
opened the bag, counted out the 81 900
bills, examined some Of the jewcIry
and restored the bag to its owner,
"Who found TT" the woman asked
Egan pointed to the waiting attendant.
The women hesitated a moment.
why. then" she paused a moment.
suddenly gave the attendant the
neartiest of kisses, and ran out ot the
room and down the steps to her train.
And incidentally. that was all the re-
ward anybody connected with the sta
ton ever received.
Another Of Egans stories Is about
the wedding party that nearly caused
a serious arrangement of the terminal
schedule. The wedding had been a
hilarious affair at an uptown hotel.
and of course the destination OF the
couple leaked out. The guests arrived

at the Information office, inspecting
the various public rooms or making
himself agreeable to the patrons of his
road. He is as nearly ubiquitous as il
is humanity possible to be. Not day
passes but he personally examines
every square foot of building and
tracks. Scarcely a train pulls out but
Egan has passed through the gates or
along the platforms.
He has the curious faculty of being
able, apparently. to see what is hap
pening In several different directions
at once. He can stand In the middle
