Railway Station, It Won a
Caustic Reply.
He stood at the ticket window slowly
unrolling au old fashioned leather bag,
while n dozen men stood behind him,
driven to madness by the shouting of
the gatemeu calling their trains. After
he got about a ynrd and a hulf of bag
unrolled he suddenly stopped and said
to the ticket clerk:
"Is thnt clock right?”
"No, sir."
" ’Taln't?" shouted the startled pas
senger, stooping down and making a
sudden clutch at n lean and hun
gry enrpetbag. “’Taln’t right? Well,
whnt ’n the name o' common sense do
ye have It stuck up there for. then?"
"To fool people," calmly replied the
clerk. "That's whnt we’re here for—to
fool people nnd misdirect them.”
“Great Scott!" said the passenger,
hurriedly rolling up his bng. “I’ve
missed my train. I’ll report you, 1
will!"
“Won’t do any good. It’s the compa
ny's orders. They pay a man to go
round every morning to mix nnd mud
dle up ull the clocks, so that not one of
them will be right and no two of them
alike."
The passenger gasped twice or thrice,
but could not say anything. The ticket
clerk went on:
“It's the superintendent's klea. He
is fond of fun, enjoys a joke, and it
does him good to see a man jump about
and hear him jaw when he buys a
ticket and then finds his train has been
gone two hours.”
“Which way is this clock wrong?'
the passenger asked in despairing ac
cents—"fast or slow?"
“Pon't know. That’s port of the fun
not to let au.' bfwl:' l:i the halloing know
anything ubout the right lime. All 1
know 1b that it’s about ninety minutes
wrong one way or the other."
With a hollow groan the passenger
grabbed his bag and made a rush for
the door, upsetting any man who got
In his way. In about two mlnuteB he
came back, crestfallen and meek, and
took his place at the end of the line.
When once more he walked up to the
window he said, as he named his sta
tion and bought hlB ticket like a sane
man:
“What made you talk to me like you
did?"
“What made you ask questions like
a fool?"—San Francisco Chronicle.

PLEASANT JAILS.
The Way Prisoners In Montsnsflro Are
Treated.
When I paid a visit to the Cetlnje
Jail I found that all the prisoners were
out for a walk. For two hours every
morning and again for two hours In

morning the first sergeant reported
thnt Prlvnte B. had a chill. “Is it n
BerlouB one?" asked the captain. “Well,
sir, I don’t know Jast how serious it is,
but it’s a big one, for it seems to be
all over him. and he weighs 200
pounds." On seeing him the captain
found him looking rather blue and in
structed the first sergeant to send him
to the surgeon In charge of a corporal.
Soon nftcr breakfast the captain saw
the corporal and asked him how the
man was getting on. "Oh, He's all
right now!” was the reply. “I took
him up to the hospital tent, and when
I saw what kind of medicine the doc
tor gave him I had a chill too.”—

chains. The authorities provide them
with housing, of course, nnd with
clothes—not uniform—also with a fire
at which to cook their food, nnd they

If a man of education and refinement
Is sent to prison, care Is taken to lodge
him, so far as possible, In a room
where the other occupants belong to
his own rank In life. I found on one
bed n beautiful counterpane and a pil
low covered with delicate embroidery.
“Yes, poor fellow, that’s his wife’s
handiwork," the governor of the jail
remarked casually as we passed. In
one prison life was made so easy and
pleasant that on leaving It I ventured
to remark that to be there was no pun
lshment, it seemed to me.
“No punishment!” the official who
was with me exclaimed in surprise.
"But think of the disgrace of being
here. Is not that in itself punishment
enough?"
I had and still have doubts on the
subject, for I had Just seen a cheery
old fellow who, although the time for
which he was sentenced had expired,
stoutly refused to quit the prison.—

Truo Hospitality.
In a New Hampshire village many
stories are told of a former resident
who had a warm heart, hut a tongue
that did not always utter his real
meaning. One cold winter day he
opened his door to sop the minister,
looliliirc chill nnd tired, wading home
through the snow after an hour spent
with a needy but unpleasant parish-
oner.
"Come In. parson, come right In!" lie
ailed cheerily, waving Ills arms with
hospitable intent. "My wife will make
rousing fire to warm you up. It’s
well started nlrendy. parson. She'll
make it so hot you cau't stay In the
house fifteen minutes!”

The Berbers, who. although African
are ns white ns Europeans, are the
oldest white race on record, sayk an
explorer. They are supposed to have
come from the south of Europe In an-
elent days, the Dundee Advertiser
says, and. although their language and
customs are entirely different from
ours and their religion Mohammedan,
they are probably closely nkln by de
scent Blue eyes and fair hair are
not at all uncommon among the Ber
bers, and many of them have rosy
checks and features so like our own
that were they dressed In British fash-
ton they would easily pass as natives
of the British isles.
