After ton.sldoiieble expeilmentliiK I
have found that the best nucstluii to

Oiue I asked this itu Htlon with it
terrible losult. The man had been u
valued employe of the load for years
and was reganled liv all as the pofonl
flcntlon of patience 1 had a lew min
utes to suaro, and T united the buieau
man this harmle'-s little question
There was a cuildcn frenzied shilek.
"Oh. this Is too mueh!" and the buieau
mail tried to spiliiK thioiiKh the ."null ,
window at me
It was a teirlble moment. I lan, of
ouise, and fiom u .ife disunite
watched seven hUoiik men try to hold
hlni. Then thev took lilm away In
lions, u. gibbering idiot.
And so It was that I stood at a les
pedful dlslnnic when I asked this
question ut the llewlliiK Teimlnal man
Just to trv hlni. He nut his head on
one side, shut one eve ajid then said
slowly and thoiiRhtfully. "Swlntc her a
jittle to the nor' niitthwest "

Inside.
Tho nt one to arrive after myself
va a man who eame In with Mi ides
like the uiant In the seven Ic.imio
boots. His hat was on the ba k of his '
head, he was breathless, dtops of per
spiiatlnn stood on his loreliead.
"I'.iptis, papeis!" he gasped; "valu
uble papers; had 'em in my hand: left
'em In the car none. gone: been down
stairs, not there; been uptali.s; not
there; been "
Vhat aie those papei.s stlckliiR out
of jour overcoat pocket?" Intemipted
the bureau man. The man tin list his
hand In his pocket, and his look of
wild excitement chaiiRpil to one of
foolishness. He went out saying some
tliliiR about an e.i)ceted visit from the
foot-killer.
He closed the door In a Chinaman's
faeu, the Chinaman opened It and
ame In. He was a fat Chinaman in
a purple tshirtlo and he had a face as
iound and expressionless as a Maiy
land biscuit.
Late Steelt," lie said.
The bureau man dlieeted him almost
(iitlMly with Restuies. When he had
tlnlshid, the Chinaman, 'with the same
blank expression on his countenniu e,
tinned and stalled out of the budding
exactly as he had been told. "Of all
laies," nald the buieau man, "not even
excepting the Americans, the Chinese
are the easiest to direct. The I'oles
and HuiiRarlans aie the most dlflkult.
Tluy are the torment of my life."
An up-country woman came in with
four children foiming a procession be
hind her. The chlldieu sat down on
the Uoor. Kacli pioduced a lalsin
"(ookey" and began to eat.
"Olf me a table time," .aid the wo
man. When to?" asked Mr. l'.urcau Man.
' Youst a leetle way up de lo.ult."
"How far uj the load?"
'Hotit dirty miles."
"What station what town?" he
asked, with a email.
"nilentown," he answered, sharply.
"Dat's none of your plsness." She
snali hed the time table out of his
hand and Jeiked each uichln in turn
on its feet, then the procession tiled
o"t.
A suave little man, with a puuvo llt
th' voice, wanted to know when he
could go to Heading. After leceiving
jus inorinauon ne asKcti: "iJon t ou
get tiled of answering questions''"
"Sometime?," replied tho man. When
tin door was closed he said: ' I gi I
more tin..1 of answeilng that question
than any other. I hear It two doroii

Tho inquiry man said ho did not.
Two hours later the Swede was still

wanted to know when the first tialn
went to Mahanoy City. He was City
Hall olllelitl and lie w'hl:oied merely
from foice of habit.
Later In the day a woumii of the
verse o' tears rame In. rflie left her
pocketbook In the cars. She could not
line' It and sh" knew she was tliu last
one out of the car. The bureau man
wan aorrv. but no nockitbooU had been
turned In. After she had Rone out he I
'aid eveiy woman that loses her poc

they can to catch them, but It is uimosi
Impossible, for they are so sl. I'n
doubtedly one of tliese persons had
this woman's pocketbook. 'Women
are cat eless, anyway, about such
things." s-nid the buieau man. "Some
times we have as many as live purses
a day turned In. As for umbrellas,
thete is a legul.ir procession heie on a
lalny diy lor umbiellas left In the
seats."
Pathos sometimes creeps Into the
r..,n,,.. rf tin binenii man's life, and
notwithstanding all he has to sour his j
disposition and haidin his heart, thete
is a Rood-sized soft spot left 111 It.
The h'liiMU man would not ai know
ledge It for the world, but t-onie of the
other cmplojes tell how he paid a
drunken woman's fate out ol his own
pocket lor the snke of the two, helpless
little children clinging to tlulr moth
cr'a skirt nnd crying to go home. They
tel! many ither 'torles of his weakness
for little children, but the buieau man
himself would deny It indignantly.
"Cronku," said the buieau man
thoURhtful'v, "seem to lll'i in schools
like shad or mackeiel. Sometimes
catch It stialgh't along for an hour o
two. I feel as though tho entire public
bad a grudge asaln.-t me. Then sud
denly people will brighten up nnd
eii thing rocs smoothly until another
kel'ool comes."
How soon can I l?ae for Chicago?"
is-ked a man in a slow, delibeiate voice
lie l'xed his eyis suspicious upon the
bureau man as though he expected 111 m
tu tell an untiuth. end It was his In
tention to eaten hlni In it.
The last man 1 saw was Kvengall. At
least that was tho bureau man's sup
position, and mine also. He was the
Image of "Wilton Lackaye with his best
SveiiRall make-up on. Mr. Svengall
war going to Pilneet.in. 1 thought per
hapF he was going with the Intention
of hypnotizing Mr. Cleveland into the
belief that he could run for a third

A busier man, even, than the one at
the Heading TVrminal is tho man In
the Hurcau of Information at the Hroad
trect station. It Is alleged that the
man who ociuples the oillce In the uf
teinoon has not smiled for five years.
Koimeiiy it 1" surposed he had a
blight, suniiv disi ositlon, sang at his
woil-. sometimes Jested, often laughed.
That time Is past. Now he sits like an
animated encyclopaedia, pouring Infor
mation into the ap.icious public car.
No more songs, or jests, or smiles. It
1" erv sad.
Kven now he is not leally savage;
but he did intimate that bis Ujircm
sometimes ached to get hold of a i lnb
with' knots on the end to bring down
lust once on the skull of persons who
asked when the 10 o'clo k tialn got In.

VIOLIN IN two i'ii:ciis.

Niuislit All Itules ol ."Uiiiiiilnctiiruig.
J. C. Klndlg. (i violinl-' and oichestia
diieetor of Kansas t'ltv, has manu
factuied a violin by hand that has set
at naught all modern theoiles of ollti
making. 1'iom a log it well-seasoned
maple and a strip of cj press, both
picked no in a lumber yaid. he has
made a violin in two pieces. The back
and sides weie hewn from one piece,
the top fiom another, and nut togeth
er: yet the violin is pel feet In every
wny and has a delicious sweet tone.
Thl Is veiy remaik.ible when the
tools used In It.s tonstiiution aie taken
Into iimslderatlon a. poiket knife, a
pleie of sandpaper and some glass and
steel sciapers.
Klndlg woiked Inieimlttently. some
limes a whole day ami other times an
I hum u wiek, just ils tin- humor stiuck
hlni: et. In spite of the dcilslve laughs
in his miHlcal fileiidr. he finished his
Instiuinent in tluce weeks of Hilual
woik.
Mr. Klndlg claims several aiHantages
for his violin over the common ina-thlne.-niade
arllile. As violins aie
miinufactuied ol many pleies. which
I must be glued together, Kludlg's vio
' liu is suneilor In that tluie Is no op.
poituultv for trlued puits to sep.uate.
The base bar, which In all violins l.s
glued to the bisldo of the coer Just
befoio the lolln Is llnlsheil, was tut
! out of the same piece of wood as tlie
i top, and I:i Mr. Klndlsr's lolin iheie
Is no danger of tlie bane bar shifting
lis position. Hut the particular point
ui w'hlch most of all .Mr. Klndlg departs
from the accepted theoiles of violin
making Is that the back nnd sides,
whlih aie cut from one plete of wood,
aie of a unlfoim thickness. Instead of
ilsirig thicker towaid the (nineis of
the box.
