Hit Amazing Memory.

cussing a recent divorce Biiit.
"The convenient memory of the av
erage witness," he snld, "Is like that
ofe an old colored man I once met, who
claimed to have known George Wash
ington. I asked him If ho was lu the
Toat when General Washington cross
ed the Delaware, and be instantly re
plied, 'Lor', massa. I steered dat boot.'
"'Well,' said I, 'do you remember
when George took the hack at the
cherry treeV
"He looked worried for a minute,
and then, with a beaming smile, laid:
'"Why, suah. massa, I done drove
dat hack mahself." Young's Maga

A
CHOICE MISCELLANY
. Flying For One's Health. :
' 'i'he Jjilliience of even sporadic HIgbt
on the pliysical body ilud tlie liealth is
remarkable. In balloon voyages' I have
been lu I lie air us Idiih as four days at
a time. Once 1 mude a voyage almost
nil Invalid from rheumatism. 1 could
scarcely raise my arms 011 a level with,
my bead. My blood was black. The'
doctor would not permit Hie to tusie
meat. Within a few hours every drop
of blood lir' my body bad become a
bright red liquid, looking like llanie,
and I seemed uuiible' to appease in.v
appetite for strong animiil food, of
which 1 had none, too much aboard.
From the tortures of rheumatism that
voyage conveyed me to the tortures of
hunger.
I went to see a friend who was low
with consumption. 1 told 1 1 1 111 to go
with me 011 a viyage' nnd he would
come back a well man. ' lie shook his
bend, but' i "'us persistent' At last lie
went, nnd lor the' llrst two hours' in
the air I thought he would bleed to
dentil with hemorrhages. .1 felt like n
murderer, but soon he begun to change.
The voyage was from St. Louis to the
Atlantic coast. That was twenty years
ago. He went back home and is still
living, a robust num. I Imd another

A Vote In the Slot Machine.
An Italian civil engineer. Slgnnr
Gogginno. has Invented n vol lug ma
chine which. It Is claimed. Is nbso
lueiy "nnge'ntable" and Incorruptible.
He calls this Invention the .psepho
grnpb. So Complete nnd satisfactory
has this machine proved that It has
been ndopled by 'both' the Italian and
the French governments.
The psephograph Is a little over a
yard in height nnd Is provided with its
many openings as there are candidates
In the field. The voter presents his
enrd to nn ofTlclnl who hns charge of
the voting booth nnd receives a small
metal chip about the size of an Ameri
can dime. He Is then given permission
to enter the booth and steps behind
two screens, which render bltn invisi
ble to both the public and the over
seers nllke. There be finds the voting
machine facing him.
After corefully scanning the differ
ent slots, above which is a space con
tabling the names of the candidates,
be selects the one he wishes to vote
for nnd drops bis chip in the slot cor
responding to It.
Factory Cruelty Long Ago.
The English factories before the
passing of the factory acts were not
much better than the Scottish coal pits
of the seventeenth century. Children
were often worked for sixteen hours
nt a stretch. Hundreds of them died.
Many tried to run away, nnd to ren
der this impossible Irons were riveted
on their ankles, nnd In these they
worked nnd slept. The author of "The
History of the Factory Movement"
gives n grnnhlc account of n typical
factory In those days: "In stench. In
bented rooms, amid the constant whirl
ing of n thousand wheels, little fingers
and little feet were kept In ceaseless
action, forced Into unnatural activity
by blows from the heavy hands nnd
feet of the merciless overlooker nnd
the infliction of bodily pain by instru
ments of punishment Invented by the
sharpened Ingenuity of Insatiable self
ishness." And all this was less than a
hundred years ago! London Chronicle.
, The Bearded Chancellor.
Dr. Bethmann-Uollweg may claim
the unique distinction that he is the
first German chaucellor to wear a
beard. Bismarck hastened to shave
his off when he entered upon diploma
cy and showed his rivals and enemies
a massive jnw and clear cut chin, and
he shaved to the end, with an iutervnl
enforced, by neuralgia, in the early
eighties. As a soldier, too', Cnprlvi
shaved nil but his mustache, and so
did Hobeulobe and Uulow. But Bethmann-Uollweg
is gaunt, , rugged, hir

"Was she artistic?" asked an Inquir

dianapolis epigram maker, .who was
describing an Indiana genius, says the
Saturday Evening I'ost.
"Artistic?" snld Hubbnrd. "Wits she
artistic? I should say she was. She
was so artistic that one day. when one
of her peekaboo shirt waists she had

The Chines Way.
This curious Item comes from the
North China Dally News: "Recently
the waterworks company in Pekin
when digging the ground In front of
Prince Eung's establishment to lay
down service pipes discovered a Jade
bridge measuring over thirty Chinese
feet. It is reported that as it was a
piece of antiquity the company de
, cided not to disturb It without author
ity, and the valuable bridge was again
covered up."
A MUD flEfOIGE
My name Is Morgan Grenoble, anil
today I luue reached the turning point
of my llilrlli-.th year. People say that
I look odd with almost snow white
hair and wonder how It came to lie
thus to one so young.
Klght years ago on the 2!tli of this
very mouth 1 stood at the altar with
Laura Comstock.
I was a telegraph operator nnd wax
stationed at Wayburg. a hi a t ion twen
ty miles from Stockton.
Itetiirnliig from our honeymoon, I left
my wife at Stockton and proceeded to
Wayburg. The engineer on the "up"
train was Mark Moore, a rather hand
some young fellow, who had been my
rival.
When the train stopped nt More
land's 1 nlli-'liteil from the passenger
coach and walked forward to the en
gine. - Mark wns busily engaged oiling
the machinery.
"How are you, Morgan?" he snld 11s
he espied me mid held out his lian 1.
His disappointment seemed to have
left 1 1 i 111. "Going to Wnyluirg?"
"Yes." '
"Just get In with me. then," he 'said.'
I replied that I would do so, nnd
when the train moved away 1 was
occupying n seat ill tile engine.
"One hardly notices the ascent, but
the descent Is an entirely different
thing," said Mark. "I was thinking.
Morgan, what 11 terrible thing it would'
be If an engine with full power on
were to become nninanngeiilile nt the
top or the grade and dash nwny."
The following night was dark mid
tempestuous, nnd I nlone occupied the
station. That day n new engine bad
arrived, and Mark Moore had been
put In chnr-jo of It. From 2 o'clock
in the afternoon to 5 I saw him mov
lug nbnut the engine. Until 10 I
watched. Then Mark opened the door
and stepped Into the smnll apartment.
"Are you receiving a dispatch, Mor
gan?" he nsked.
"No, Mark. Why do you ask?"
"Because If you nre not I wish you
would leave the clickers a bit nnd
come and look nt my lted Bird by lan
tern llght. I nm going to run down
grade to Chalmers, reverse the engine
nnd run bnek. The train will not be
due here for nn hour, and 1 can go to
Chalmers n"d return within twenty
minutes."
We walked into the great temporary
shed where the new engine stood.
"I dare not be so loug absent from
my post at this hour, Mark."
He put his lantern on the ground and
then sprang erect.
"You shall, Morg Greuoble:" he cried,
nnd before I could nnswer him he
dashed me to the enrtb nnd planted his
knees on my brenst.
"Not a word out of you, Morg," he
said fiercely, pinioning my arms and
legs with n rope. "111 tell you what
I'm going to do. You know we were
discussing the consequences attending
the rush of a maddened engine down
the grade. I reckon I won't go to
Chalmers, but will send you clear to
the bottom of the grade."
"Mark Moore, you nre mad," I snld.
"Would you murder me In cold blood
and others who are coming up on the
11:10 passenger?"
"Yes," he said coldly.
"There!" he said at last as he closed
the furnace door. "Everything is ready
for your ride. You'll go right through
Stockton, but I reckon you won't have
time to stop to speak to loving Laura.
Goodby, Morg."
The engluo was moving, and be
leaped off.
"May heaven have mercy on your
soul, Mark Moore!" I shouted after
him.
The grade between Wayburg and
Chalmers was quite steep, and before I
reached the little town the speed of the
lied Bird and its tender seemed to ri
val that of the telegraph.
The manner in which I was bound
permitted mo to look out of the win
dow. I did so, and Stockton, the home of
my wife, greeted mo with its many
lights. , ,
Ahead I saw. many people, waiting
for the 11:10 passenger. .-, ,
The next moment 1 was carried past
them.
There whs one hope for me just
one.
Perhaps the operator at Stockton had
telegraphed down the grade, and, thus
warned, the coming train would switch
and save its passengers from death. ,
. Looking out, 1 saw far ahead the
glaring headlight of the southern train.
To me it looked as though It stood
on my track. Evidently the train bad
not been warned.
Suddenly 1 beard a" man shout,
"Stand back!" and then crash all was
dark!
"Is he injured much?" somebody
asked.
Sympathizing faces bent over me,
and a surgeon was examining my
wounds.
"The ties stopped the engine," said
the surgeon. "We received J a tele
gram from Stockton informing us that
the new engine was rushing down
the grade. The southern train was
switched off upon its arrival here, and
we set to work to pile Innumerable
ties on the track, which, thank heav
en, checked your mad career."
"Telegraph to Stockton," I said, "to
my wife."
It seemed as though every bone In
my body was broken, and I "cannot
tell how I ever survived through the
prostration that followed.
But I did. to find my hair rivaling
the spotless purity of the snow and
crow's feet on my youthful forehead.
My rival was never tried, for the
third day following his arrest be was
conveyed to an asylum a hopeles ma
niac. -
HUMOR OF THE HOUR
A Blow to Sentiment.
"Tlie other day." said the hostess, "I
found two Hide packets of love letters
that were written to me when t wns a
girl nt hoarding school." .
"How lovely !" lisped the much puffed
maid of dubious years.
"They were tied Willi faded blue rib
bons." the hostess continued, "nnd
held a faint scent of lavender. I
hadn't looked nt them since my wed
ding dny. and how they happened to be
laid nwny I can't remember. Anyway.
I opened nnd rend them."
"It mgst have seemed like a stolen
pleasure." giggled tlie ancient tnnld.
"Perhaps I had n little sentimental
curiosity nt the moment." laughed the
hostess, "if so It was rudely Jarred.
One of my youthful lovers couldn't
spell, and the other wrote nn atrocious
bond. Dear me. but It was silly stuff!
And a funny thing was that both
writers had made use of the Identi
cally same sentimental expression "
"Two souls wllli hut n single
thought." simpered the nnclent maid.
"No," returned the hostess. "1 fancy
