With everybody traveling more or less, usually more, in electrically driv en ca"s -in J trains, the time has cer tainly co:,:e for general appreciation of the fiu-t that the blowing out of fuse, is nothing to excite alarm. To lie startled to "jump," as the saying is when ihis happens is the privilege of all except the professional electricians. The latter are bound by professional pride to show perfect im passibility even when the sudden Hash singes their fingers, and it is delight ful to see how many of them have at tained to this command of their nerves. To jump is one thing, however, while to fall into a senseless panic is quite another. To blow out is the duty and destiny of fuses, and when they have done it such danger as there was is all over. Nothing worse than delay can follow, unless the passengers proceed to make wild rushes for which there is no need whatever. Travelers should keep these facts carefully in mind.—New Y'ork Times. It Was His Friend. A little story in German and Eng lish, accompanied by an interpreter, drifted into the Indianapolis News of fice. Here it is: Two Germans stepped into an auction house where a sale of watches was going on. They occupied front seats and soon attracted the at tention of the auctioneer. As he dwelt upon the merits of a watch he was of fering for .sale to the highest bidder the auctioneer turned to the Germans from time to time as the price mount ed— .sii, .fC.no. .$7, .s7,■")<'. As the auc tioneer nodded at one of the Germans there came an answering nod, which he took to be a bid. "That feller knows me," said one German to the other. "Yes, sure," said the other. The nodding kept on. Finally the auctioneer extended the watch to the nodders. "It's yours," lie said. "Ten dollars. You're the buyer." "Ach, nein," said the German. "I'm the Schwob (Suablan); mein freund heir Ist der Bayer (Bavarian)." Talked to the Wrong Man. One day an important looking gen tleman took a seat beside a quiet man in an Arkansas railway carriage and began a conversation. "I'm going tip to Little Rock," lie said, "to get a pardon for a convicted thief. I'm not personally acquainted with the governor, but he can't afford to refuse me." "Is the fellow guilty?" asked the man. "Of course lie Is. But that makes no difference. His friends have agreed to give me SSOO if I get him out, and the thermometer is very low when I can't put up a good talk. Where are you traveling?" "Going to Little Hock." "Do you live there?" "Yes." "Perhaps you might be of some serv ice to me. What business are you in?" "I am the governor."—St. Louis Re public. Too Much For General Butler. After the battle of Chiekamauga an enthusiastic Confederate went about the streets of New Orleans accosting every man who wore the blue with, "Didn't Stonewall Jackson give you blazes at Chiekamauga?" General But ler called the exultant Confederate be fore him and told him he could either take the oath of allegiance or goto Ship island for two years. The Con federate deliberated, but finally agreed to take the oath. When he had sworn to support the constitution. lie turned to General Butler and exclaimed, "Now we are both loyal citizens, ain't we, general?" "Well, I trust so," said General But ler. "Then," said the jubilant Confeder ate, "I want to ask you If Stonewall Jackson didn't give us blazes at Chiek amauga?"—Argonaut. Terrapin In London. A smart American, one of the fresh kind, drifted into the Hotel Cecil in London with a party of five and or dered with pomposity a la dos arrogant Americans, a la Paris: "Say, waiter, I want six portions of Maryland terra pins, #n' I want 'em served with the bones. Do you understand?" In three or four minutes the waiter reported, "Sir, we have the pleasure to serve terrapin with grand sherry, but not with the bones." "What in the mis chief did yon do with the bones?" "The bones? I will ask the cook if you wish." "Never mind. We will have eoras en brochette."—New Y'ork Press. Extravagance. I heard a story lately of a high lander who had been persuaded to buy a ticket for a rattle. He won the first prize, a bicycle, but 011 being told of his good fortune instead of hugging himself with delight he said: "Weel. that's just 111 a luck, buying two tickets whan yin wad 'a' done. It's jist a sax pence wasted."—Dundee People's Jour nal. Force of Habit. "What are you in such a great hurry for?" "I am going to the funeral of my chief, and there Is nothing he hates like unpunctuality." London Tele graph. Frevent the Slips. "A man who loves his kind forgives his brother's slips." "A man who loves his kind doesn't have occasion to. He puts ashes on Ills pavement."- Baltimore American. Lake Huron is dotted with over 3,000 islands. This Is more than any other lake has. " A Curious Cipher Code. Prisoners confined in different parts of jail often use cipher codes In com municating with one another. In the Kansas City jail some years ago the oliiciais came across a hard one. A fellow named Turner, in for forgery, Invented the puzzle. The writing was on long narrow strips of paper, on the edge of which were letters and parts of letters that apparently had no con nection and from which 110 words could l»e formed. One day a deputy who was passing the cell of a prisoner saw him passing a long strip of paper around an octagon lead pencil. He took the paper away, and on it were the mysterious scrawls that had wor ried the keepers. But the deputy got tin idea from this, and, going back to the oflice, he wrapped the strip around iin octagon shaped lead pencil and after several trials adjusted it so that the parts of the letters titled together and made a sentence, though the writ ing was very fine. The writer had adopted the simple hut ingenious plan of covering the pencil with paper and had then written along one of the flat sides. On unrolling It the writing was as mystical as a cryptogram, but when put around the pencil as it was origi nally It could be easily understood. Why. There is something almost plaintive in the truly English word "why." It may be indefinitely prolonged upon the lips. "Why" is almost poetical in it self and fitly introduces the best hex ameter In the language: "Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?" Its uses in poetry are almost infinite, and one modern writer makes almost a line of it alone: Why do the night winds sigh, The sea birds wildly cry, The summer clouds pass by. The lilies droop and die. The light fade from the sky? Why—oh, why? To most of the whys there Is not a good because. The inquiring mind is puzzled to account for many things besides its own existence. Hundreds of such questions occur to us at every step, and no satisfactory reply can be expected. I.ife is too short. Socrates was always saying "Why," and we have all heard of the man who called I'ope the "little crooked thing that asked questions."—Exchange. The Man Who Told the Tale. It happened on a Pullman car be tween New York and Chicago. Dinner having been finished, the gentlemen assembled In the smoking room to en joy their cigars. "During the time I was in the war," said the quiet man,"l saw a very wonderful thing in the line of surgical operations. A friend of mine was shot through the right breast, the bullet passing clear through him. The pres ence of mind of his companion un doubtedly saved his life. He wrapped his handkerchief around the ramrod of his gun and, pushing it through the path made by the bullet, cleared the wound of all poisonous lead. I know it is hard to believe, but, gentlemen, the man still lives to tell the tale." "Which man?" inquired the slim pas senger on the other seat quietly. "The wounded one, of course," ex claimed the old soldier scornfully. "Oh, I beg your pardon. I thought it might be the other." The Mania For Shopping. One phase of the feminine mania for shopping is illustrated in John Foster Eraser's "America at Work." Speaking of the C. O. D. method of shopping and of the way in which It appeals to the woman with the slender purse, he says: "If she has no dollars, that does not deprive her of the pleasure of shop ping. She will walk into a big store, look over a dozen gowns and try on several before deciding. Then she will get a C. O. D. card and, visiting other departments, will buy a hat, rich un derwear and a parasol. She will give a fine order. When the goods are de livered at the address she mentioned, It is found there is no such person as Mrs. Walker. True, she lias put the store to a lot of trouble. Yet think of the morning of womanly delight she has had in her shopping." The night Place. A dignified elderly gentleman riding on a train was annoyed by a boy sit ting across the aisle. The boy had just finished his breakfast and was amus ing himself by laughing at the old gentleman. Presently the latter lean ed over and said to the boy's mother: "Madam, that child should be spank ed." "I know it," said she, "but I don't believe in spanking a child on a full stomach." "Neither do I," said he. "Turn him <>rer." Appropriate. The Monument Man (after several abortive suggestions) -How would sim ply "Gone home" do? Mrs. Newweeds —I guess that would be all right.

"I talk in my sleep."- London Opin ion. Got What Ho Liked. Host—Why on earth did you put pooi Jenkins between two such chatter boxes at the table?
