tumorous f rpartmrnt. Too Much to Forgive. Charles P. Taft, the president's brother, was talking to a Cincinnati reporter the other day about art fakes. . "We all laugh at art fakes," he said, "when it is our neighbor that is taken In. But when we are taken in ourselves, then we realise what a heinous business art faking is, and we see how necesary it Is for the faker to be punished. In fact, it is a good deal like the case of Deacon Broadbent. "Deacon Broadbent, a very honest and pious man, was conducting a Christmas revival with great success. In a word, his powerful exhortations had brought Caihoun White, the town's worst sinner, weeping to the mourner's bench. "^The deacon, gratified by this proof of his evangelical prowess, hastened to Calhoun's side. " 'Deacon,' sobbed Calhoun, "taln't no use in mah' comln' up. I'se sinned away de day o' grace.' "No, yo' hain't, Brudder Cal,' said the deacon. 'All yo' got to do is to gib up sin an' all will be forglbben.' " 'I'se done gib It up, Deacon, but dat hain't no salvation fo' me.' " 'Yes, dey is, hon. Dey hain't no sin so black dat it kin be washed whiter'n de snow.' "'But I done stole fo' young turkeys last week,' said the penitent. " 'Dat's all forglbben, Cal.' " 'An' for de week befo'.' "An' six fat Christmas geese'? "The deacon suddenly frowned and stiffened. "'?Six fat Christmas geese outer yore own yard, deacon?dem fat geese wot yo' 'lowed to set so much store by,' " 'Wot's dat you say?' the deacon hissed furiously. " 'It wux me wot stole yo* Christmas geese, sah.' "I reckon, Calhoun,' he said slowly; 'I reckon I'se spoken too hasty. Dls case o' yourn needs advisement. I ain't sho' dat we's justified in clutterln' up de kingdom o' heben wld chicken thieves.' "?St Louis Globe Democrat The Language She Knew. Two city mission workers passing through the foreign settlement in the McKees Rocks district met a reporter and a newspaper photographer. Near by was a house the squalor of which was striking. It was determined to take a picture of the place. The mistress of the house was standing in the doorway and when she saw the photographer set his camera she ran in, slamming the door after her. The elder missionary, who speaks a dozen different languages and dialects, volunteered to coax the woman to stand for a photograph. When he rapped on the door she came out and he started to address her. He began in Polish, but she shook her head. He then tried in succession Magyar, Lithuanian, Russian, Bohemian, Hebrew, Greek, French, German and others, but it was of no use; the woman kept shaking her head that she did not understand. "It is no use," he said to the three standing at the gate. "I have exhausted all my languages, but she does not understand any of them." * * 11 4 * L/v* mlujinn. I "I'll iry ner, suiq mc vu??i tuiwavu ary, and he went to the woman. In a moment she was laughing and nodding her head that it was all right. When the picture had been taken the missionary who had failed asked him in what language he had spoken to her. "English," was the reply.?Pittsburg Gazette-Times. Women. A genial Joshua, who runs a chicken plantation and cornstalk refinery down in the Salem county section of of Jersey, came to this city the other day to buy a pair of winter boots and a box of axle grease. After rambling around in the ferry zone for a while he bravely cut loose and started up Market street. He had not proceeded far when he saw an employe of the Philadelphia Electric company lift the lid of a manhole and crawl down into the conduit chamber. Eviden-.ly the sight filled Joshua with much thought, for he gazed earnestly toward the manhole for a minute or two and then went over to a cop who was holding fast to a sunny spot on the corner. "Excuse me, Constable," said Joshua, addressing the police person, "but hain't they got a railroad down in the ground under this street?" "They certainly have." indulgently answered the officer. "It Is the subway of the Rapid Transit company." "Thet's what they told me," responded the farmer, with another glance toward the centre of the street, "but I hain't never seen it. Howsomever, I Jes' seen a feller cvawlin' down ter ketch a train, an* sez I to meself, them holes may be all right for ther men passengers, but they must be mighty derned 'onconvenient fer the women folks."?Philadelphia Telegraph. There Was No Duel.?Colonel Crisp when in the Missouri legislature was one of the central figures In a scene which promised bloodshed, which ended In a hearty laugh and which was the cause of an astounding remark from Hon. John W. Farriss, the then speaker, said Champ Clark. Crisp and another member got into a debate which grew into a quarrel. They shook their fists at each other and roared like a pair of Numldian lions. Everybody expected and many hoped to see a regular old fashioned knockdown and dragout fight, which expectation and hope were frustrated and dashed to the ground by Speaker Farriss remarking: "If you gentlemen do not quit fussing and take your seats I will order the chaplain to take you into custody," which so amazed the bellicose legislators that they stood in a state of lingual paralysis, while the spectators laughed till they were red in the face. Humor saved the day. Explained.?Prof. Robert Herrick of the University of Chicago desired to point out to a young sonneteer the difference between the words "astonish" and "surprise." "Noah Webster," Prof. Herrick said, "was once caught by his wife in the act of pressing the hand of the pretty cook. "***' ' kt..?kinoi Mb/1 o T*Z ICO "i ne cwn, uiusiiiug ni?<r ? . at once to her kitchen. Mrs. Webster said in a sad, tremulous voice: " 'Why, Noah, I am surprised." "But the philologist, from over his glasses at his wife, answered reprovingly: " 'Madam, you have not studied our glorious language as you should. It's I who am surprised. You are astonished.' "?Philadelphia Record. |ttiS(fU?nfous grading. TANGLES OF THE TELEGRAPH. Curious and Amusing Mistakes Made In News Sent Over the Wire. The public In general have a very vague conception of the wheels which, going round and round, make up the perfect newspaper. Of course, the ubiquitous reporter Is always in evidence, the city editor is well known and the editor-in-chief is a power to be reckoned with, but there is one editor who is seldom known to the public eye, and his existence not even suspected by many readers of the paper he works so hard to help produce. I refer to the telegraph editor, who is just as much of a power in his bailiwick as the city editor is in his. He handles all of the telegraphic news which comes over the wires, be It from Podunk or Washington, and it Is his business to see that it is revHooH onH sunt tn tho nrinter In n grammatical and readable shape. The telegraph editor Is generally a quiet man?that Is, when he Isn't noisy. Sometimes he rips out an explosion when some correspondent has sent a column of matter not worth printing, and again he chuckles to himself or laughs broadly and loudly. This is when he has struck a funny bull in a dispatch, and they are many. The object of this article is to print some of my experiences In this line, as well as some which have been told me, and It is remarkable how the dots and dashes of the telegraph code can displace themselves, making combinations of letters which puzzle th~ telegraph editor to decipher. In the last 15 years many telegraph operators have naturally graduated into the telegraph editor's chair, and the number of bulls which get into the paper are minimized. The worst tangle of letters I was ever called upon to untangle was when I was working for a San Francisco paper. A dispatch came in dated Carson City, Nev., saying that Charles Crocket, the millionaire, was going to KJKHEO for a few weeks' camping trip. This, ridiculous combination of letters meant less than nothing, and at intervals I studied it until it got on my nerves good and plenty. But instead of killing the article, I put a man on the desk and set myself to solve the riddle. I did it, but it took me two hours to do it. Being a telegrapher, I set down every comblnaton I could and studied them until at last I evolved the fact that Mr. Croker had gone to Lake Tahoe on his outing. The Morse characters forming "KJkheo," with proper spacing and spelling, making Lake Tahoe. Another time, in Denver, I found that a new Y. M. C. A. building was to be erected at K. Keuka. This I localized and turned the K. Keuka into La Junta. New York newspaper men and operators will never cease talking about the ridiculous blunder the teleo-onVi nf tVio Hpralrt Ipt slln &??*/" w. v* ??v through his Angers. It was when the Ice palace at Montreal burned down. The Herald came out next morning with a Aare head about the "To" palace burning-down, and all through the article wherever the word Ice occurred the operator had it yo, and so it went to the public. The characters for ice being all dots, could make a very respectable "yo" to the ears of a careless operator. A dispatch announcing that an enormous shipment of "Irish" mackerel had been made from Gloucester, Mass., I quickly turned into 'fresh" mackerel. David R. Downer, once manager of the Western Union in New York, was heartily laughed at when, in a press dispatch he had the U. S. S. Tennessee ordered to tne urooKiyn nasty yard. As a letter V Is three dots and a dash, and S. T. three dots and a dash, Dawner was only accused of carelessness, and the word "nasty" was changed to navy before any harm was done. Walter P. Philips, author of FhilIps' telegraphic code and for many years manager of the United Press association, told me of a funny bull he once made when taking press in Providence, R. I. It seems there was a celebration of some kind in Boston in which the state militia participated. In the dispatch Philips had the procession led by "an Irishman from New Bedford," and thus it was printed In the paper. The "Irishman" from NewBedford turned out to be "A. N. Cushman." Thomas T. Eckert, late president of the Western Union company, told me the following incident, and classed it as the funniest bull he ever saw. One day an irate society lady bounced into his office, flourishing a tele gram, and excitedly exclaimed: "Now, Mr. Eckert, what does this mean? Here's a telegram from home and it says 'Unclean Gus is dead.' I've been after that blonde operator of yours in the Fifth avenue hotel, and she says it's right. What have you got to say about it, sir? Mr. Eckert took the telegram, studied it a moment, and then asked: "Have you an Uncle Angus, madam?" "Yes, sir: my mother's brother. Why, what about him?" she replied. "Only this: I am sorry to inform you that your Uncle Angus is dead." "Unclean Gus" and Uncle Angus was easy to Mr. Eckert; but a riddle to the woman. Jerry Borst was a well known telegrapher during the civil war times in New York. The city was full of soldiers passing through and waiting orders, and the wires were busy. Jerry worked a hot Washington wire, and one day received a message about the movement of officers' equipment. It was addressed to Gen. Bagagterry. Up to the day of his death Jerry used to tell about it and laugh uproariously when he would say: "By ginger, it took them four days to find out that the message was for the Gen Bag Agt. Erie Ry." The New York Times, when Grover Cleveland was running for governor of New York state, printed a speech of Cleveland's in which he sai.l in the heginning and throughout the speech, "Ko, ko, fellow citizens," etc. The operator was evidently an inexperienced one. for the letter k. o. were meant for punctuation mark for a colon. The teh-crnnh editor was nossiblv an ad mirer of the Mikado, which was on the boards at the time, for he let it pass unchallenged. The sending operator made two colons to make sure of it. Pcttingill & Montgomery is hardly recognizable in "Petting ill in Montgomery." while the names of cities which pass through the hands of telegraph editors that are squeezed out of all proper shape are legion, 70 Waukee Is a favorite for Milwaukee, Dole Rocl and Limerick for Little Rock. Rock 1 land for Rock Island, Nelxo for Toledo and the vice president of the Unlte< States, instead of the customary V. F Is dubbed a "48," which Is only add' Ins one dot to the V and the P an< mnthing to the calibre of the gentle man in question. While visiting the late Amos J. Cummings at his New York home, h< fchowed me a telegram he once received from Horace Greeley. It appean Amos was at a convention In Saratogf which he was reporting for the Tribune and the following telegram was hand fU ..*111. . "I have Inquiries as manipulation Come dark." He studied over the matter and finally gave it up. instructing the manage] to have New York send a man tc Mr. Greely with the message and hav? him read it. This was done, and Greeley got hoi about it, piping up in his thin, querulous voice: "Dammit! Can't you fellows read anything; that's 'Have engagement at Minneapolis. Come back.'" Taking into consideration the horrible chirography of Mr. Greeley, Mr Charles A. Tinker, late general superintendent of the Western Union, who sent the message out of New York, waa to be congratulated, instead of censured, for he got three words right out ol the six.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. DETECTING CRIMINALS. Scotland Yard Expert Saya There Are Few First Class Professionals. Sir Robert Anderson, for many years chief criminal expert In Great Britain and until a few years ago in charge of London's Scotland Yard, declares that when it comes to special feats, such as safe breaking, the men competent for the task are so few that some police officers could probably write down the names of them all from memory. "In taking 'charge of the criminal Investigation department in 1887," he writes in the Strand, "I was no novice in matters relating to criminals and crime. Notwithstanding all this, to my surprise I found myself credited with a vast amount of ignorance by one of my principal subordinates. "When any notable crime occurred and I began to investigate it, a la Sherlock Holmes, he used to listen to me in the way many people listen to sermons In church, and at the conclusion he would stolidly announce that the crime was the work of Soand-LO, naming one of his stock heroes?'Old Carr,' 'Wirth,' 'Sausage,' 'Shrimps' or 'Quiet Joe'?and I soon found that my prosaic subordinate was right. Great crimes are the work of great criminals. "There is nothing spontaneous and occasional about the crimes of 'professionals.' Take the case of a 'ladder larceny,' for example. While the family is at dinner the house is entered by means of a ladder placed against a bedroom window, all outer doors and ground boor windows having been fastened from outside by screws or wire or rope. Wires are stretched across the lawn to baffle pursuit in case the thieves are discovered. "A case of this kind occurred some years ago at a country house in Cheshire. The next day brought the chief constable of the county to Scotland Yard. Such a crime, he said, was beyond the capacity of provincial practitioners, and he expected us to find ihe delinquents among the criminals on our list at Scotland Yard. "He gave me a vague description of two strangers who had been seen near the house the day before. An hour or two later I handed him three photographs. Two of these were promptly Identified as the men who had come under local observation, and arrest and conviction followed. They were well known 'ladder thieves.' "Once Dr. Max Nordau called upon me. I put his 'type' theory to the test. I took a couple of photographs, and covering all but the face of each told him that one was an eminent public man and the other a notorious criminal. I challenged him to say which was the type, but he evaded the test. "One was Raymond, alias Wlrth? one of the most able criminals of my time; the other was Dr. Temple, Archbishop of Cantebury, and If anything the former's countenance was more replete with strength and benevolence than the latter's. It was Rnvmnnrl \vhr? ctnlp thp fflmous Gainsborough picture, for which Mr. Agnew had recently paid the record price of ?10,000." MONKEYS POST SENTINEL. Fight Under a Leader and Roll Stones Down on Their Enemies. Aesop's ape, it will be remembered, wept on passing through a human graveyard, overcome with sorrow for its dead ancestors, and that all monkeys are willing enough to be more like us than they are they show by their mimicry. An old authority tells that the easiest way to capture apes is for the hunter to pretend to shave himself, then to wash his face, fill the basin with a sort of bird lime, and leave it for the apes to blind themselves. If the Chinese story is to be believed, tne imitative craze is even more fatal In another way, for If you shoot one monkey of a band with a poisoned arrow, Its neighbor, jealous of so unusual a decoration, will snatch the arrow fired and stab Itself, only to have It torn away by a third, until In succession the whole troop have committed suicide. In their wild life baboons, as well as well as the langurs and many other monkeys, undoubtedly submit to the authority of recognized leaders. There is co-operation between them to the extent that when fighting in company one will go to the help of another which is hard pressed. In the rocky ground they roll down stones upon their enemies, and when making a raid, as on an orchard which they believe to be guarded, the attack is conducted on an organized flan, at. 11 ics uciiig puaicu cxiiu scouts thrown out, which gradually feel their way forward to make sure that the coast Is clear, while the main body remains In concealment behind until told that the road Is open. From the fact that the sentries stay posted throughout the raid, getting for themselves no share of the plunder, It has been assumed that there must be some sort of division of the proceeds afterwards. Man, again, has been differentiated from all other creatures as being a tool using animal, but more than one kind of monkey takes a stone In Its hand and with it breaks the nuts which are too hard to be cracked with the teeth.?London Times.
