IMPRESSES THE OFFICE BOY
i R ——————
Chicagoan Emhusiastic Over Scheme
Which He Claims Is Great Suc
cess in New York,
Gerald Jones came here from Chi
cago. Consequently there are a num
ber of things about New York which
he compares with the same things in
Chicago—much to the disadvantage
of New York. One that chiefly firri
tates him is the office boy habit here,
the Cincinnati Times-Star's New York
correspondent writes. Gerald Jones
enters the office of a friend of his. A
Emall, cmlcg&] boy meets him at the
mahogany rafl. Mr. Jones - declares
that he wishes to see his old college
pal, P, Norval Smith. The small boy
demands a card, and hands him a
blank form. “Write here what you
want to see him about,” gays the
gmall boy.
Mr. Jones protests. What he wants
to see Smith about is something that
he does not propose to confide to any
small boy in the world—especially to
a small boy toward whom he feels a
sentiment perilously approaching hate.
He waves his hand. He directs the
l___‘gmall boy in a lordly way to take his
. name and be quick about it, and never
mind the card. “Just gay Jerry Jones
is here,” he says to the small boy.
The small boy puts back the hunk
of gum and sits down on hig slippery
little bench ang indicates with an air
of finality that there will be nothing
doing until he gets the card he asked
for and the full history of Mr. Jones’
recent past.. If Mr. Jones gets in to
- Bee P. Norval Smith it is only by as
senting to the terms made by the
small boy. Therefore, Mr. Jones has
had a fresh set of cards printed for
use upon the office boys of hig friends.
They bear the most awe inspiring
names—Jim Jeffries, for example, and
James J. Corbett and Packey McFar
land and Cut Throat Jenkins, the ter
ror of the gulch. He observes that
the small New York boy {8 not well
posted upon the life and crimes of
Blcody Hand Ben, the scourge of the
Sierras, but every one of them knows
all about the men of the ring. “And
tell that old fool Smith,” he bellows,
in the character of Tom Sharkey,
“that if he doesn’t come out here I'll
beat him to death.”
Gerald Jones is perfectly happy. He
knows how to circumvent the office
boy.

WORTHY OF GREAT MONARCH
King of Sardinia’s Tactful Manner of
Concealing Kindness Done to
Impoverighed Follower,
The King of Sardinia, Charles Al
bert, was very kind and obliging to
the French royalists who were at
Turin. The Duke of F——o-, with whom
he was connected, had an employment
about the court—he had been severely
wounded, -and lost a leg in the affair
of the Three Days. The king heard
that the duke was anxious to visit the
king and royal family at Prague, but
that his finances were not favorable to
20 long a journey. His majesty, there
fore, thought of an expedient which
would enable the duke to gratify his
loyalty, without his feelings being
wounded. : |
* “Duke,” he said, “would you do me
the favor to choose some horses for |
me in Bohemia; and as your best WAay |
will be through Prague, of course, you
will pay respects to the royal family ‘
there.bl
As the journey was on the king's
service, the duke could feel no reluct
ance about having his expenses paid.

IT ASTONISHED , THE - COOKi
Marvo\m Appetite of “Mr. Claren
don,” Whose Name Was Pass
port to Kitchen's Best.
J. Hayden-Clarendon, eating his
three meals in a German grill of much
renown, has, day by day, extended his
acquaintanceship from the steward to
each of the waiters and from thence
into the kitchen to the cooks. And it
80 happened a while ago that cne of
the cooks had had to send his wife to
a hospital. Clarendon, ever thought
ful, bought flowers and sent them out
to the kitchen to be forwarded thence
to the hospital.
This, of course, made him more
than solid with the culinary depart
ment of the big restaurant, with the
result that whenever a waiter ain
nounced that the order was “for Mr.
Clarendon” the cooks would go to
the limit in getting bhim the best
steaks and chops and serving them as
works of art.
The waiters weren’t slow in learn
ing that the word *“Clarendon” was
the passport to the kitchen’s best—
the open sesame, as it were.
So it happened that ome afternoon
a waiter came into the kitchen wltp
the order:
“T-bone steak, rare, for Mr. Claren
don.”
The man at the broiler threw up
his handa.
“What’s come over Mr. Clarendon ?”
he asked in astonishment. “He has
had two porterhouse steaks, boiled
salmon, ham and eggs, three oyster
stews, sanddabs, chops, and now he
wants a T-bone steak—and. all in an
hour!”—San Francisco Chronicle.
Wild Bird Returns to Captivity.
Are birds able to think and remem
ber where they have been well cared
for? A gentleman living in Leith is
in the habit of feeding the birds which
/[requent his garden during the winter
months. Some time in January, 1911,
he enticed a greenfinch to enter a
cage and so captured it. It was wear
ing a ring on its leg marked “Aber
deen University, 7185.”
In the following March he set it at
liberty, declares a correspondent of
The Scotsman. He was much sur
prised when on January 13, 1912, the
bird returned. On his cage being pre
sented to him, the bird hopped con
tentedly into it and settled comforta
bly down for the severe season. An
examination of the ring Jeft no doubt
as to the identity of the bird,

When Flirting Has No Charm.
An aviation meet was given recent
ly at Hot Springs, Ark., to the great
amazement of the native negro popu
latiqn. Two little very black maidens
were diseussing the doings of the
marvelous “bird men,” and one of
them said boastfully:
“Ah wuz offered $lO to go up in one
o’ them flyin’ machines.”
“Ten dollars!” exclaimed the oth
er. “Mah goodness, chile, that's a
powerful lot o’ money. Why'n you all
do it?’
“Well, Ah shorely needs th’ money,”
was the reply, “but Ah ain’t goin’ to
flirt with no undertaker fer no $10.”

Use Brass Rings.
In making a shoe bag or laundry bag
that is to hang flat against the door,
use brass rings instead of loops for

Age Limit,
Ellen Terry, the actress, was one
day talking about the many women
who asked her to help them get on
the stage, when she said: “Every
wohan under 30 imagines that she is
an actress. And every actress be
lieves that she is under 20.”

OLD STAGES OF NEW YORK
Many Years Ago They Were Operated
Reguiariy Between Metropolis and
Other Cities.
In excavating underneath the former
Tallman livery in New York recently
workmep found a number of straps
,Buch as were used in former days om
the stage coliches which plied between
Albany to Buffalo.
The straps are supposed to have
been made at the Sherwood establish
ment, wkich many years ago stood at
the northeast cormer of State and Dill
streets. S. C. Tallman said he be
lieved the straps to be at least 75
years old, and to have lain where they
were found probably for that length of
time or longer.
It was in 1809 that Isaac Sherwood
of Skaneatles became a partner of
Jason Barker of Utica in conducting
the stage line which passed through
this county, carrying the United States
mail. It is recorded that in 1816 a
line of coaches, among the proprietors
of which was the firm of Isaac Sher
wood & Co. of Auburn, was operated
between Canandaigua and Utica.
These coaches passed over what was
known as the Seneca turnpike, con
structed between the two points
named. It was designed to build this
road six rods wide, the middle 25 feet
of it to be covered with gravel or
broken stone to a depth of 15 inches.
The Seneca Turnpike company Wwas
authorized to erect a toll gate every
ten miles and exact 1214 cents toll
for two-horse teams and 25 cents for
four horses.
From Utica east a tri-weekly stage
line was operated to Albany, and this
likewise was controlied by Sherwood
& Co. and others.
The corner of State and Dill streets
was a great center for stage coaches
in the early days. Various other lines
besides the turnpike stages converged
in Auburn, there being stages to Ho
mer, Ithaca, Oswego, Aurora and other
places. It was in that day that the
fight broke out between the Pioneer
Line, as a new competing company
was called, and the Sherwood combina
tion,
The Pioneer Line gained control of
the principal hotel in the village,
known as the Wcstern Exchange, hop
ing thus to embarrass its rivals. But
the Sherwood interests fitted up the
Bank of Auburn, as it was known, for
their headquarters. An issue of this
campaign was the question of running
stage coaches on Sunday,
FOR THE WOMAN WHO THINKS AND FEELS.
Some women complain that they periodically suffer from dull and heavy feele

should not oceur to the normal healthy woman. But most every woman is subject

liver, etc. A regulator end female tonic made from native medicinal roots with

Circuitous Retribution.
“Did you help elect that man be
cause of his personal popularity?
“No,” replied Farmer Corntossel. “I
had my suspicions of him for a long
time and wanted to shove him along to
where the muckrakers could get a
good go at him.”

The Overwrought Nerves.
Fresh air will string up any group of
nerves not hopelessly demoralized.
When you feel that “flying to pleces”
inclination overtaking you, jerk your
self to order with the check rein of
determination and then, if you cannot
regain self-control, stop anything on
earth you may be doing and go out of
doors. If you cannot leave the home,
lean out of a window, or step for a lit
tle while on a porch. You will not
lose any time—you will, in fact, gain
time by increasing efficiency in what
€ever you may be doing. Sleep also is
& great restorer of nerves to a normal
tone, and sleeping with all windows
open secures for us two nerve cures
at the same time. In foods, raw on
fons, carrots, lettuce and celery, with
plenty of olive ofl, are excellent nerve
foods, all valuable as aids in the good
work, but the chief remedy is strong
will and the compelling of your body
to obey your mind.

Man and the Mammoth,
The skeleton of a mammoth discov
ered in the department of Pas de Ca
lais, France, measures 491 feet in
length. The head is well preserved,
with finely enameled molars of the
true Siberian type, thus furnishing one
more proof that the whole country was
once a land of ice and snow. At a din
ner given recently on a sand-bar in the
Danube an attempt was made to con
vey an idea of the food consumed by
man in the time of the mammoth. Cab
bage soup cooked over hot stones,
horse ham, roast pork with bolled
millet, and turnips cooked in hot ashes
composed the bill of fare. The dessert
was dried pears and honey.—Harper’s
Weekly.

“Every time he picks up a hand an’
finds less than three aces he thinks it
wasn't a square deal.”
