FINNIGIN AND FLANNIGAN.
Story of Former’s Report to the Latter.
Irish Face as Well as Name.
The announcement in yesterday’s
Constitution that Section Boss Fin
nigin had been promoted to be assis
tant master of roadway, together
with the handsome, life-like picture
of the widely-known railroad man,
caused many inquiries to be made by
telephone, mail, telegraph and in per
son for more information about the
section boss.
There is hardly a railroad man
from Tybee to the Golden Gate who
does not know of Mr. Finnigin, for
his fame reaches from ocean to ocean.
Outside of the fraternity of the rail,
it seems that there are numbers of
people who do not recall having
heard of him. It is an old story,
which somebody has put in verse,
and recently it has been going the
rounds quite extensively among rail
way men. The Baltimore and Ohio’s
blue book for February contains the
verses which are given below.
FINNIGAN AND FLANNIGAN.
Superintendent wuz Flannigan;
Boss of the siction wuz Finnigin.
Whiniver the kyars got offn the thrack
An’ muddled up things t’ th' devil and back,
Finnigin writ it to Flannigan,
After the wrick wuz all on agin.
That is, this Finnigin
Repoorted to Flannigan.
When Finnigin furst writ to Flannigan,
He writ tin pages—did Finnigin;
An’ he told jist how the smash occoored—
Full minny a tajus, blundering ward
Old Finnigin writ to Flannigan,
After the kyars had gone on agin.
That wuz how Finnigin
Repoorted to Flannigan.
Now, Flannigan knowed more than Finnigin,
Had more edjucation—had Flannigan;
An’ it wore Tn clane an’ complately out
To tell what Finnigin writ about
In his writin' to Mistei Flannigan;
So he writed back to Finnigin:
“Don’t do sich a sin agin,
Make ’em brief, Finnigin.”
Whin Finnigin got this from Flannigan
He blushed rosy rid—did Finnigin;
An’ he said: “I gamble a wholemoonth’s pay-ay
That it will be minny an’ minny a da-ay
Befoore Sup’rintindint—that’s Flannigan—
Gits a whack at this very same sin agin.
From Finnigin to Flannigan
Repoorts won’t be long agin.”
Wa-an day on the siction of Finnigin,
On the road sup’rintinded by Flannigan,
A rail gave way on a bit of a curve,
An’ some kyars went off as they made the
swerve;
“There’s nobody hurted,” sez Finnigin;
“But repoorts must be made to Flannigan.”
An’ he winked at McGorrigan,
As married a Finnigin.
He wuz shantyin’thin—wuz Finnigin,
As minny a railroader’s bin agin;
An’ the shmoky ol’ lamp wuz burnin’ bright
In Finnigin’s shanty all that night—
An’ he writed this here: “Mister Flannigan:
Off agin, on agin,
Gone agin—Finnigin.”
Welcome Home.
Peddler—Wouldn’t you like some
mottoes for your house, mum? It’s very
cheering to a husband to see a nice
motto on the wall when he comes home.
Mrs. Dagg—You might sell me one
if you’v got one that says, “Better late
than never.”
It cannot be said that the Gould family
is going to the dogs, but it is a fact that
the dogs, some of the finest in the world,
are going to the Gould family. Frank
Gould, who has not yet come much into
public notice because of his youth, the
other day bought three prize dogs which
he saw at a bench show, paying $20,000
for them.
It is said of a cyclone out West that it
“turned a well wrong end up, a cellar
upside down, moved township lines,
blew all the staves out of a whisky bar
rel and left nothing but the bung-hole,
changed the day of the week, blew the
hair off the head of a bald headed man,
blew mortgages off a farm, blew all the
cracks out of the fences and took all the
wind out of a Populist politician.”
Frank Chase of Waterville, Me., some
years ago invented a machine simplifying
the manufacture of shoes. A New Eng
land company purchased his invention
for SIOO,OOO cash and gave him $2,500 per
year for life, provided he would do no
more inventing. In a recent interview
he bitterly regrets having made that
contract.
Colorado, having given up the
hope that her silver is to be remone
tized, has turned her attentions to
the production of gold with such
vigor that her output of the yellow
metal in 1897 was $20,000,000, be
ing double that of 1894 and five
times that of 1890.
County Surveyor Jack Hooper
and son gave us a call Saturday. Mr.
Hooper says he was recently over in

The careful observer has noted
that Mr. William Jennings Bryan’s
voice is not for war. He realizes,”
says the Charleston News and
Courier, “that war means more bonds
and that it would be rather difficult
business to fight on a free silver
basis.”

Some Tricks of the Types. ‘
“What is this ’?” exclaimed a com
s>os:tor who was expecting to be pro
moted to a proofreadership shortly.
“ ‘Sermons in stones, books in the
running brooks!’ Impossible! He
means, of course, ‘Sermons in books
and stones in the running brooks.’ ”
And a new reading of Shakespeare
appeared the next morning.
A sporting compositor thought
“Cricket on the Hearth,” must be a
slip of the pen. He made it “Crick
et on the Heath.”
A writer on angling had the joy of
seeing his sentence, “The young
salmon are beginning to run,” print
ed “The young salmon are beginning
to swim,” another thoughtful com
positor having been at work.
Happier was the transformation of
the sentence, “Bring me my toga,”
into “Bring me my togs.”
There is a less subtle vein of
humor in the story of the editor who
wrote during an election, “The bat
tle is now opened.” The compositor
spelled “battle” with an “o,” and the
other side said, of course, that they
bad suspected it from the first.
It was by a similar nvistake that
the late Baker Pasha, who might
fairly be described as a “battle-scarreJ
veteran,” was called a “battle-scared
veteran,” the libel being by no means
purged when the newspaper called
the gallant officer a “bottle-scarred
veteran.”
Owing to an error in printing the
announcement, “A sailor, going, to
sea, his wife desires the prayers of
the congregation,” became “A sailor
going to see his wife, deserves the
prayers of the congregation.”
The statement, “Messrs. ’s
preserves cannot be beaten,” was
rather vitiated as an advertisement
by the omission of “b” in the last
word.
Innocently gay was the newspaper
report which said that the London
express had knocked down a cow
and cut it into “calves.”
When President Lincoln Acted As a
Doorkeeper.
Mr. James Elter is one of the oldest
doorkeepers in the war department
and has been stationed at the seven
teenth street entrance to the Winder
building for many years, occupying
the chair in which President Lincoln
sat while he acted as doorkeeper in
place of Mr. Elter, says a Washington
letter to The Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Speaking of the incident, Mr. Elter
said:
“One day a tall, lank gentleman
came to the entrance and asked me
if the secretary was in, and 1 told him
no, that it was too early for him.
He then asked at what hour he would
be likely to find him, and I told him.
With a pleasant ‘Thank you’ (some
thing we don’t always get) be walked
away. At the hour I told him that
the secretary would be in, he again
walked up the steps and asked me if
I would not go to the secretary’s room
and tell him that be wished to see
him. I told him I could not leave
my post.
“‘Oh, that is all right. lam Mr.
Lincoln, and I will keep door while
you deliverer my message. Tell him
that I want to see him here in the
lower hall.’
“With this the president unpinned
my badge, stuck it in his own coat,
and took my chair. I hastened to
the secretary’s room, and soon the
two were together near me, but in
quiet and earnest talk. I never did
know why Mr. Lincoln did not want
to go to the secretary’s room but I
know that I prize this chair. I call
it Abe Lincoln. No doubt that wlb
the only time a president ever acted
as doorkeeper.”

NUMBER 13
DICKENS GAVE HIM ADVICE.
A Young English Commercial Traveler".
Foolishness Rebuked.
A commercial traveler of England
has unearthed a reminiscence of
Charles Dickens which is of interest.
Speaking to some acquaintances, he
said:
“I will tell you a little story which
I have never told to any one outside
my own family. About 45 years ago
I was going my first round, and at
Gloucester station I had to wait two
hours. I was traveling in jewelry
and had with me a number of very
valuable specimens. A lot of pas
sengers were waiting, and most of
us went into the refreshment room,
where a very pretty young lady was
serving out sandwiches and coftee.
I was very young—under 20 —and in
order to pass away the time I chat
ted with the young lady as a young
man did in the old days and as, 1
suppose, any young man would do
today and will for all time. Pres
ently I opened my case and drew
out a lady’s very handsome watch,
the back of which was studded with
diamonds. It was worth about S3OO.
‘How would you like mo to make
you a present of this?’ said I to the
young lady. ‘Very much, indeed,’
said she and took it and ran off with
it, laughing. This drew general at
tention to mu and my goods, and 1
were soon surrounded.
“It did not occur to me at the time
how foolish I was to act like this in
public, yet I was not sorry when
the train came up and the expensive
watch was handed back to me. I
went out on the platform, and a gen
tleman came up to me. "Are you
going to Birmingham?’ said he.
‘Yes,’ I replied. ‘So am I,’ said he.
‘Will yon come into my carriage?’
Then it Hashed upon me that the
man had seen my goods and design
ed to rob me. ‘Certainly not,’ 1 re
plied and jumped into a third class
carriage. But the stranger followed
me. ‘You are smart enough in some
respects, ’ he remarked, ‘and you did
quite right to refuse my invitation.
But don’t be afraid. There are
plenty of bad characters about, and
it is best you should not travel alone
tonight, and I want to tell you, as
you are a young man and I am your
elder, how very dangerous your con
duct has been. ’ Then the stranger
talked so kindly and wisely that 1
could not possibly be offended. What
be said has been a lesson to me all
my life. At parting he held out hit
hand.
“‘I should like to know your
name,’ said I, ‘for you have acted an
a true friend.’ ‘There is my card,’
said he and went. I never saw him
again.” The old gentleman opened
his pocketbook and unwrapped a
card with the utmost care from the
paper in which it was preserved.
“That was the name of the stran
ger,” said he. The card simply ran,
“Charles Dickens. ” —Chicago News.
Authors and the Public.
Tho relation of great authors tc
the public may Le compared to the
war of the sexes, a quiet, watchful
antagonism between two parties
mutually indispensable to each oth
or, at one time veiling itself in en
dearments, at another breaking out
into oi>en defiance. The public, like
the delicate Greek Narcissus,is eleep
ily enamored of itself, and the name
of its only other perfect lover is
echo.
His candor (the poet’s) frightens
them. They avert their eyes from
it, or they treat it as a licensed
whim, or, with a sudden gleam of
insight and apprehension of what
this means for them and theirs, they
scream aloud for fear. But if great
and original literary artists—here
grouped together under the title of
poets —will not enter into transac
tions with their audience there is nc
lack of authors who will. These are
not necessarily charlatans. They
may have by nature a ready sympa
thy with the grossness of the public
taste, and thus take pleacure in
studying to gratify it, but a man
loses not a little of himself iu
crowds, and some degradation there
must Be where the one adapts him
self to the many.—“ Style,” by Wal
ter Raleigh.
A Georgia editor is candid enough
io make this statement: “We
would not accept a bribe, and yet
we are free to say we cannot support $
candidates without some sort of re
muneration, as we have a large
family to support, and space is worth
money. But please don’t offer us
anything to our face ; but, if you feel
grateful for our assistance, just con
trive to lose ten or twenty dollars in
our office, where we can stumble
over it accidentally, and thank heaven
for it in the silence of our sanctum.
By this means we can overcome our
scruples, and keep our conscience as
clear as maple syrup.”
one hundred and eighty-five European
authors who have written on the
subject. Many years ago a man left
by will to Mr. Bergh’s New York
Society about a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Relatives contest
ed the will on the ground that he was
insane because he believed in a future
life for animals. The judge, in sus
taining the will, said he found that
more than half the human race be
lieved the same thing.
Walter B Hill, of Macon whom
the populists nominated for chief
justice of the supreme court, declines
to accept. “The nomination,” said
Mr. Hill, “was made without my con
sent and against my wish. I, there
fore, have the perfect right to de
cline it.”
