tumorous JcpartmcMt. Best Left Alone. Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner that was recently given in his honor in New York, told an amusing story at his own expense. "I was traveling on an Knglish railway Londonwnrd last year." he said, "and had chosen a seat In a non-smoking carriage. At a wayside station a man hoarded the train, sat down in my compartment and lighted a vile clay plj?e. _ ' 'This is not a smoking carriage,' said I. " 'All hight, governor.' said the man. Til just finish this pipe here.' "He finished it. then refilled it again. " See here,' I said: 'I told you this wasn't a smoking carriage. If you persist with that pipe I shall report you at the next station to the guard.' "I handed him my card. He looked at it. pocketed it. but lighted his pipe, nevertheless. At the next station, however. he changed to another compartment. "Calling a guard 1 told him what had occurred, and demanded that the smoker's name and address be taken. " 'Yes, sir.' said the guard, and hurried away. In a little while he returned. He seemed rather awed. He bent over me and said apologetically: " "I>o you know, sir: if I were you I would not pnisecute that gent. He has just given me his card. Here it is. He is Mr. Andrew Carnegie." "?Washington Star.

But my watch was run down and I was up at the club and didn't notice the time." "Then he pulled out his timepiece and, preparing to set it. looked back up at the tower as we left the slip.

The Diagnosis.?Old Mother Confi* dence lay gasping for breath by the roadside. "Ah. ha!" said the Liquor Dealer with a savage leer. "Too much prohibition." "No, no! Too much rate regulation," said the railroad man. "Not enough adulteration," said the f<?od manufacturer. "Not enough rebates and too many lines," said the trust magnate.

The QrAEiTY ok Mercy.?A notorious mountain moonshiner familiarly known as "Wild Bill," was recently tried before a federal court in Georgia and was adjudged guilty. Before pronouncing sentence the judge lectured the prisoner on his long criminal record, and at last, informing him that the court entertained no feeling of anger toward him, but only felt unmixed pity, sentenced him to spend six years in the federal prison at Atlanta. Bill stolidly shifted the quid of tobacco in his mouth, and turned to leave the court room with the marshal. Once outside, the only thing he said was this: " 11 f *1' T L *v V\o wo 'nt wen, i suctn uni smii he ??i in mad at me!"?Youth's Companion. sui.1. a puppy.?The youth had only Joft college, and his ambition, like his collar, was high. At home the all engrossing subject was the young man's future career, and he was discussing with his parents which of the professions stood most in need of his genius. The father's idea of his son's ability was disgustingly low. I think." said the old man. "that you had better adorn one of the stools in my office." "oe young man drew himself up, and the high collar grew tight as he strove to swallow his righteous anger. Folding his arms, he asked: "Am I a dog?"

' i "I've found out that if the man j above you possesses a sense of humor j it's hard to lose out with him. no mat- ^ ter how big1 a chance you take." said a j railroad man. "Met a man here in New t York the other day who helped to ex- t emplifv this theory. ^ "This man used to be a locomotive * tireman on a Texas railroad, the head- ^ quarters of which was then in Dall.os. As a fireman he was just as biff and | bluff and breezy as he is now. a "The president of this Texas railroad t was a man of extreme diffnity and aus- t ferity. He was absolutely fair and just j in his treatment of men in the employ (: of the road, but he certainly was the j most whoppinffl.v dignified human being you ever saw or heard of. He demanded every bit of the respect that was r a-coniing to him. and he came pretty c close to getting it too. All of the em- a ployees who came into direct contact t " i'ti him ?tnod in the most nrofound .. awe of his terrific dignity and tiptoed around like as if they were servitors at n some temple of Buddha. v "Well, this fireman person that I'm talking about didn't know much about y that dignity stuff. He didn't know how ^ to execute a right or a left oblique. The only way lie knew to do things was to p skate right smack to the place where it t] was to be done and do it now, natural c like. Maybe at the time this thing hap- ^ pened he hadn't heard anything about the stupendous dignity of the president of the road, and then maybe again he'd g heard about it and didn't care a dum. "Anyhow, one day his engineer sent ^ him to dig up the superintendent of tiie mechanical department. The pas- c senger train to which his engine was hitched had just come into the Dallas depot and the engineer wanted the me- t( chanical super to take a peek at some defect in the engine. So he told his ^ fireman to dig out into the station and ^ find the super and fetch him if possi- ^ bie. t| "The fireman, just finishing a long run. was pretty greasy and grimly in his dungarees. His face was smeared with oil and coal dust and he shed a p few ounces of clinging bituminous fuel with every step he took. _ "He mooched all over the station and yard without getting hold of the mechanical super and was about to flag the job of searching for him when he heard that the man he was looking for |( u-.i? closeted with the president of the * IJ road. "Well, this closeted stuff didn't scare the fireman any. He'd been sent by his j( immediate superior to g?t hold of the ^ super, and he didn't care if the super t( was closeted with the Nizam of Hy- |t derubad, his idea was to go get him and fetch him. "So greasy and gritty dungarees and smudgy face and all. he clomped up the stairs to the door where 'president' was painted on the main door of the row on the gallery. "He didn't even rap on the door and wait for 'come in.' He was too direct 11 a man for that sort of fiddling and e beating about the bush. He grabbed n hold of the doorknob and pushed right e into the president's solemn, profoundly ? dignified office. He forgot that he had '' his cap on. too. when he found himself 8 inside the office. n "The austerely dignified president and the superintendent of the mechan- g ical department had their heads togeth- '' er a I the president's desk, and when ^ this grimly apparition thrust himself in ? without any knock or asking by your w leave, they both looked up at him with the most intense astonishment. The 8 super found himself first?recognizing the fireman?and grinned. * "Hut the dignified president didn't grin, not by a blamed sight. He turned red with outraged dignity and things. "'Well?' he said to the big fireman, c still standing there with his greasy cap p on one ear, in a voice of choked wrath. " " 'I'm here to snag the super,' ex- ^ plained the fireman offhand, just like f that. 'Jim*?meaning: his engineer? d 'wants to have him look at what a e crazy old pile o' junk No. 777 has got *' to he. Jim's vellin' to have 'er over- n hauled. Wants to see the super right r away,' and having delivered his mes- s sage the fireman turned and started to n make his getaway. n " Just a moment, my man,' put in c the president right there in his awful voice?'a moment, if you please. How n long have you been in the employ of this road?' v " 'Couple years,' replied the fireman, * wheeling about and looking at the pres- n ident blandly, and still wearing his cap rakishly pulled over his left ear, the * peak turned to the rear. a "'A couple of years, eh?' the presi- * dent repeated after him sternly. 'How a long have you been railroading?' ^ " 'Since 1 was a kid." replied the fire- a man, looking very bored. a " 'Very well.' said the president, sepulchrally. 'And has nobody ever told j you the proper way to enter a gentleman's office?' ^ "The big fireman scratched his head with a greasy hand back of his rear turned cap peak but said nothing. He c doped it out that his job was just as R good as gone right then, and he figured s that there wouldn't be any use wasting any unnecessary talk. So he kept still. 1 " 'Because,' went on the president, 'you are obviously in need of some tuition as to the proper way to enter your K superior's office.' c "The fireman couldn't think of any- * thing to say. and so he leaned on the ^ other leg and sort o' gazed out of a window. " 'Now.' went on the president of the road. 'I am going to the trouble to teacb j, vnii ulnvn vim 111:1 tiifpwl I v ilnn'f know n how to enter the office of your superior, and how to address liim after you have entered, and I trust that you will profit hy the lesson. Just you sit in this chair ? of mine and I will go outside and for the moment you may act the part of my superior officer.* "The president, who had a club foot, got up from his desk chair, and the fireman. a grin flickering around the corners of his mouth, plumped himself in- ? to the president's chair. The president ^ hobbled over to the door and went out, while the fireman leaned back In the f] chair, pushed his cap a little in ore forward on his head and waited. ,1 "Presently there was a refined little , knock at the door. H " 'Tell him to come in.' suggested the superintendent of the mechanical de- a partment. who was leaning back In his n chair enjoying the thing. u "'Come in!' sang out the fireman. n "The president entered. He had got n his hat from the closet across the hall ., and he removed the hat with a flourish j, tlie instant he entered the office. Then n] he stood still at the door. " is this. sir. the office of the president ." he inquired in an impressively OI respectful tone. L "The mechanical super gave the fire- Uf nan a furtive kick on the leg, and the lreman replied, 'Yes,' "'Now,' said the president, advancng and addressing the fireman, 'the est of it would consist of your askng me what you could do for me, and . standing at a respectful distance, vould explain the nature of my er and and then depart with circumspecion. I have shown you the proper way o do it. Now, I want you to do it ourself. Just step out of the office, e-enter and show me that you have iroflted by the lesson I have given you.' "The big fireman felt positive that ic was already as good as out of a job, tnd he couldn't see any nutriment in lie kind of performance he was asked o go through?but he went through t all right. He got up from the presilent's chair, clomped out, and presents' knocked loudly on the door. " 'Enter,' sang out the president. "The fireman softly opened the door, emoving his greasy cap as soon as he rossed the threshold, and then he just s softly closed the door. Then he iptoed, burlesque fashion, part of the ray over toward the president's desk. "'Ah, that is something' like it,' comriented the president. 'Now, my man, i rhat can I do for you?' " You can take a running jump for ourself and go to blazes, you club- I noted son of a cayuse!' broke out the reman, mad clean through over the ( iffiingness of the performance, and * lien, clapping his cap on his head, he lomped out. slamming the president's oor after him. "The president of the road looked in tie direction whence the fireman had one for a long, lon^ time, with his louth wide open and his jaw hanging, 'hen he turned to the superintendent f the mechanical department and aught that person blowing his nose ;ith great violence and in a very suricious sort of way. A slow grin began > spread itself over the president's sually stern features. Then the preslent took off his glasses and wiped liem with his handkerchief, and sudenly broke into a riproaring laugh? lie rarest imaginable thing for him. ' " 'Is that man a good fireman?" he In- ' uired of the mechanicnl super. " 'Best fireman we've got on the line,' eplled the super. " 'Well, how are we off for engineers?' sked the president. 'D'ye think you ould give an engine to that fellow?' " 'I can give him a freight engine tolorrow,' "'(live it to him then,' said the preslent, and then they went on with their usiness.

WANTS NOT THE APPLE. ol. Watterson Cares Naught For the Reward of Politics. I see by the papers, as Mr. Dooley ? wont to observe, that they are havig some trouble at Frankfort over the lection of a United States senator. To te, personally, it matters little who is lected senator; but, since very free use f my name in that connection is b?lg made outside the state by profesional friends and brothers, who are lore complimentary than considerate? r I may say so without seeming uftracious?it may not be improper, or [ relevant, for me to repeat, wfi^l I ave often declared, that if a certificate f election were placed in my hand I rould not go to Washoington to take tie oath of office. If I had wanted that ort of thing I would have sought it tiirty years ago, when, as a young man, stood in the line of succession and all he ways were open to me. I was born and grew up in the nalonal capital. I was brought into too lose touch with the ups-and-downs, articularly the "downs," of political fe to be enamored of it. In point of act, I knew too familiarly too many oor great men, their servitude, their isappointments and their sorrows. I arly resolved that if I ever gained a aoting in my chosen profession I would ot follow the fatal examples of Greely, taymond, and Forney, but would purue my destiny as ever a free man and ever a slave whersoever it might lead le, newing 10 me une, icatmg mc hips to fall as It pleased God and ruth. From that resolution I have ever swerved. I am profoundly grateful for the good rill of my professional brethren. But cannot help feeling a kind of resenticnt that they should think once a promotion" and call it a "reward." t is rather a badge of servitude. For II dignities my respect is reverend; of he army and the navy, of the senate ml the church; but there is also a ignlty in duty done for Its own sake. n<l this dignity connot be enhanced by ny blue-ribbon, or tituliar distinction. Honor and fame from no condition rise, ict well your part?there all the honor lies."?Henry Watterson in iOuisviLle Courier-Journal.
