TRAVELED ON A PASS. !
And So He Thought He Owned the Whole
Road.
“It brings joy to my soul to see a
grumbler laid low,’’ remarked a
traveling man to a reporter recent
ly, and when asked for the story
implied the following was related:
“We were making the run from
New York to Washington. It was a
fast train, in charge of an amiable
conductor. The porter in our car
had the patience of Job and the good
nature peculiar to fat men. There
were no crying babies aboard, not
a single bridal couple and no com
plaining old maids. In fact, it was
an ideal traveling combination with
a single exception.
“In the face of this all around
comfort there was a well known
Washington man aboard who had
as much fault to find as if he were
a passenger on one of the Four
teenth street cars going north at
the present writing. Nothing suited
him, and the service and attention
he demanded proclaimed him noth
ing short of a bank president or a
director of the road. During the en
tire run we heard nothing but com
plaints. The roadbed was uneven
as a cobblestone street. There was
not a thing obtainable in the dining
car tit to eat. The smoking compart
ment was so small a man could not
stretch his legs, and so on, until
the rest of us would have willingly
endured a wreck to put a quietus on
the kicker’s disagreeable tongue, or
at least furnished him a substantial
reason for his wholesale complain
ing.
“It was a trying ordeal for his
fellow passengers, and our combined
sympathy went out to the contin
ually abused porter. The grumbler
made the atmosphere of the car
heavy with the most emphatic oaths
in the un-Christian language and the
air was rendered a dark blue by his
profane eloquence. A general prayer
of thankfulness ascended heaven
ward when the grumbler finally
slept. We even endured his snoring
without a murmur. The next morn
ing, which was Saturday, he wad
the first person up, and he made
things lively in that car. Pretty
soon everybody else was up, and the
people were sitting in their seats
holding on to grips and umbrellas
ready to fly directly the train steam
ed into the station.
“The grumbler was being brushed
by the porter down in the front end
of the car and every movement of
the broom in the porter’s hand was
accompanied by a volley of profani
ty. At the conclusion of one of these
startling outbursts a mild looking
old gentleman at the other end of
the car glanced toward the offender
and in the gravest manner drawled
out this innocent inquiry:
“ ‘Say, my brother, where do you
preach tomorrow?’
“The humor of the question was
appreciated by the other occupants
of the car, who roared with laugh
ter at the expense of the grumbler.
I never saw a man so completely
knocked out by a chance blow. The
general amusement of the passen
gers was too much for the grumbler
and he made the remainder of the
journey out on the platform.
“Somebody asked who he was.
The porter said ho knew him well.
‘Dat man ain’t no account, any
how, spite of his airs and grum
blings. Der wan’t nuflin good nus
for him, sure, and he was traveling
deadhead clean through. Barring
this nickle he just done gib me, 1
guess he ain’t spent one cent on the
trip.’ ” —Washington Star.
Improving His Credit.
Sartor’s credit stands high among
his friends. He can borrow $lO, S2O
or SSO from any ono of them at any
time. He always pays back at the
appointed time. If he says, “Old
fellow, I will return your loan at
noon, Dec. 12, 1897,” it is safe to
gamble that the money will be
there. Sartor is immensely clever.
He does not need your money, but
borrows nevertheless in order that
he may show you how promptly he
can pay back. He may have a pock
et treasury surplus of SSO0 —so much
that he doesn’t know what to do
with it—yet it is his principle to
strike you for S2O in order that he
may receive due credit for returning
it at the nominated hour, minute
and second. It is all right, I reckon.
You like Sartor because he is prompt
pay; Sartor likes you because he
can draw on your purse whenever
the humor strikes him. Borrowing
from Peter to pay Paul? Not a cir
cumstance! Sartor has a line of
credits 40 men long, and a S2O bill
passed along from start to finish
keeps his rating Al. —New York

NUMBER 11.
LEAVING ROYAL PRESENCE.
So me Instance* of the Difficulty of Walk
ins Backward With Dignity.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune has some interesting things
to say about the difficulties and dan
gers attendant upon the walking
backward which etiquette makes
imperative upon those who are leav
ing the presence of Queen Victoria
and other European sovereigns. <
Let any one try to walk backward
along the full length of a big hall,
bowing every few steps, never
looking backward and yet keeping
in the proper direction, and he will
see how difficult it is to preserve
either one’s dignity or one's bear
ings, and very often the walking
backward has to be done, not mere
ly on the level, but also up and
down steps and stairs, which is still
more arduous and requires an im
mense amount of practice.
On one of the rare occasions on
which Queen Victoria presided at
the opening of parliament she was
attended by the Duke of Argyll,
who, doing duty for the nonce as
lord high steward of the realm, car
ried the crown on a velvet cushion.
At the conclusion of the ceremony,
during which he had occupied a
place on the dais of the throne in
the house of lords, he proceeded to
move backward from the presence
of her majesty.
He forgot, however, the steps of
the dais, and when he reached the
edge of the dais he fell backward,
all huddled up in his long and heavy
ermine barred, red peer’s robes,
from the folds of which he was ex
tricated with difficulty. The crown
shared in the mishap, for it rolled
from its cushion to the ground and
a number of the stones dropped out.
The queen, whose face showed
more concern than amusement, al
though the gravity of those about
her was sorely taxed, spoke a few
kindly words, expressing her hope
that the duke was not hurt and beg
ging him not to be troubled about
the affair, and then swept out with
her cortege.
No sooner had she left the gilded
chamber, however, than those pres
ent, comprising embassadors, great
officers of state, peers and peeresses
of the realm, prelates and judges,
were requested by the officials of
the house of lords not to stir from
their seats or to approach the throne
until the stones which had dropped
from the crown had been collected.
Os course, the object of this pre
caution was to prevent the gems
from being injured by being trod
den on. But it sounded for a mo
ment as if the officials entertained
apprehensions, lest syme impecu
nious peer or shady diplomat should
take advantage of the clumsiness of
the Duke of Argyll to pocket a
crow’n jewel.
Sometimes this walking backward
gives rise to rather pretty and even
pathetic devices on the part of those
who desire to avoid accident. Thus
I recall the case of a relative who,
on return from active service, was
summoned with several brother offi
cers to Buckingham palace to re
ceive from the hands of the sov
ereign the order of the Bath.
He had lost his right leg so near
to the hip joint that there was no
means of wearing an artificial limb,
and he was consequently dependent
upon crutches.
When he entered the royal pres
ence, it was noticed that he held,
fastened apparently to the hand rest
of either crutch, a couple of lovely
bouquets. A third of the distance
Up the long room he stopped, made
the regulation bow as best he could
and dropped one of the bunches of
flowers to the floor. Then he made
his way up to the queen, tendered
her the other bouquet, which she
graciously accepted, received hie
order of the Bath, which she her
self fastened to his uniform with
many a kindly word, and then he
proceeded to withdraw from her
presence.
If ever there was a case in which
the walking backward could be dis
pensed with, it was there, and the
faces of the queen and of those
around her betrayed signs of anxie
ty lest some mishap should overtake
the colonel. He, however, backed
away, displaying some hesitation
until he reached that part of the
room where he had purposely left
the first bouquet on the ground.
That gave him his bearings. He
knew where he was then, and leav
ing the flowers there he reached the
door in safety, the queen kindly
nodding and waving her hand to
him in appreciation of his somewhat
arduous act of homage.
Worked la a Theater.
When Joseph Jefferson’s oldest
son was a child, the family lived in
a quite exclusive neighborhood in
New York city. Master Jefferson,
being a true boy, joined in play
with the other boys in the street.
One lady who was very particular
as to with whom her children played
admonished her boys for playing
with a stranger, saying:
“I don t know that Jefferson boy.
Who is his mother ?”
“We don’t know who his mother
is,” was the reply, “but his father
works in a theater.”
The Crystal palace at Sydenham
is capable of holding a greater num
ber of people than any other build
ing in the world. More than 100,Out)

walls.
According to the method which is
now adopted for reckoning leap
