A Janitorial Wizzard.
On? day Brown lost hia temper and ^
determined to discipline the janitor, t]
relates the New York Evening Post, e
"Why is it," he said, "that every P
time anybody in this building loses ^
anything you ask us if we know what w
has become of It?" n
"Because," the janitor replied, "you ^
are me oniy ioiks uui nnn n
anything." I i:
Next morning Brown shouted down | 1
the dumbwaiter shaft: "We're short a
bottle of milk; where is It?" tl
"I don't know, sir," the Janitor an- a
swered humbly. "I'll see if I can h
find it" o
"Why," said Mrs. Brown, "we got
our milk." a
"Don't worry," said the husband, a
"Of course he can't find it, but it will
do him good to stew around a little." a
About fifteen minutes later Brown f<
was summoned to the dumbwaiter. g
"Here's your milk," said the Janitor. ^
"I'm sorry I made a mistake."
"Where on earth did the fellow get ei
it?" he said to hiB wife. d
"He has taken It from one of the
neighbors." walled Mrs. Brown. ei
Next day Brown complained of the N
loss of a package of sugar, which, ^
though purely imaginary, so far as g
the Browns were concerned, very s<
soon materialized in the hands of the s'
resourceful Janitor. Even Brown got
uneasy then, but being bent on ven- V)
geance, he subsequently reported as si
lost bread, a head of lettuce, and a bag t(
of potatoes, all of which were im
mediately produced by the janitor. tl
When Brown paid his grocery bill i*
for the month, Mra Brown, who is a ?
systematic housekeeper, scanned the w
account. si
"Why, they have made a mistake," jj
she said. "They have charged us for e.
milk and sugar and things we never n
got." ?
Brown went back to the grocery to
Inquire.
"It's all right," he said upon his re- tl
turn. "We got the stuff. The Janitor b
ordered It."

"No." i

No." a
"How absurd! I don't see now you n
have the assurance to make it so w
prominent. Why, the thing is abso- ^
lutely impossible. There isn't a bit of n
style to it. Anyone can see at half a ti
glance that it's faulty in every way.

friend of my wife's, and he asked me
to lend him a sovereign. 'Yes, certain- p
ly,' says 1, and I brought out a sover- tl
eign, but it never got no farther than a
my hand." w
"How was that?" s;
"Well, you see, one of his daughters h
commenced to sing "Kathleen Mavourneen."

"Well, what has that got to do with h
lending a sovereign?" z

New York's rapid transit system is
he most wonderful in the world. In
ddition to automobiles and other veicles,
it consists of surface trolleys,
verhead trolleys and sub-way trolsys.
It requires them all to take care
f the people, for with cars going on
11 of them only a few minutes apart,
nd all generally packed to standing
oom, Broadway, the main thoroughire,
is still thronged with pedestrins.
One wonders now, if it were not
>r the cars, the people would ever
et through the streets. As a matter
f fact they could not do so. But It
i the subways that are most wonderjl,
and which take care of the greatst
number of people. These run far
own under the streets, burrowing beeath
the buildings, underneath
le East river into Brooklyn at one
nd of the Island and underneath the
lorth river into New Jersey at the
ther end. There are four tracks, two
>r cars going north and two for cars
oing south. The outer north and
juth tracks are for local trains that
top at every fifth or tenth street, and
le inner tracks are for express trains
lat make stops at more distant inter- I
EUa The surface entrances carry
gns saying whether trains go "up
>wn" or "down town," and when the
assenger enters one of these stations s
e has only to board the first train ,
lat comes along to go in the direction
idicated. The trains are made up of 1
ve or six cars each, and although ?
enerally one is able to find room t
'here he can stand and hang to a ,
trap, the chances of his being able
> eet a seat are rather against him 1
lan in his favor. The speed of an <
Kpress is between twenty and thirty j
liles an hour and the sneed of a local
i generally a good deal less.
* * 1
No other one thing that 1 saw was 1
lore interesting to me than the "news (
cker." Possibly I have read of them ,
efore, but I am not sure. The most
iat I can say for certain along that
ne is that time and again 1 have seen t
stated that there had been inveniea (
means, whereby typewriting could
e transmitted by wire and received '
t the other end in typewriting. 1 i
ave been aware of such an invention <
lore than ten years; but I had never
een the machine in operation. It was '
i the office of a large financial con- '
em. Attached to the wall was a lit- i
e machine that was constantly tick- (
lg away and turning out an endless .
ill of paper. At first I thought it
as an ordinary stock ticker, which i
had seen before. Prom time to time j
young lady, who was private secre- try
to the member of the firm in
hose office I was, would tear oft '
hmit (njn vflrrie nf the nflner nnfi s
ang it on a file. Sometimes she ,
rould scan over the paper and someimes
she would not. Her employer
appened to be too busy with other
tatters Just then to give his attenon;
but presently he suggested to me
lat I might be interested in looking
ver the current news. I stepped over
) the "ticker"' and examined the paer.
The machine was recording in
t'pewrlting the news of the day as it
ras coming over the wires of the Asddated
Press and other such organiEitions,
except it was being summar:ed
after the style of the "Mere Menion"
column of The Enquirer. There
ras news from the war in Europe, deelopments
in Mexico, happenings ot
tie city, and practically everything
tiat was going of local or general imortance
I asked the gentleman as to
tie system under which the news was
8sembled and disseminated, as to the
srms to subscribers, and whether it
as a newspaper enterprise or of a
pecial corporation: but about all that
e could tell was, "Why, that is just
tie daily news service that we have
11 over the city." Although afterward
was in several places that I would
ave considered wealthy and up to
ate enough to have anything that
tiis big concern had, I saw only one
ther in the city. But of course such
convenience as this is bound to be
f general use among all the business
ten of New York who want it, and
rho have the money to pay for it, and
here are thousands who have the
loney to pay for anything they want.

There is another thing in which
lew York stands alone. No other city
n the world probably has a larger
umber of eating houses. There are
eople, of course "who live at home
nd board at the same place,'* but fulY
half the population must do most
f its eating at the restaurants, called
y all kinds of names. There are
laces where a fairly good meal may
e had for fifteen cents, and from
here a man may spend $25 or more on
single meal for himself, or as much
s he wants to spend, if he has the
loney. And when it comes to eating,
be wealthy do not mind spending.. In
rdinary discussion of New York, it
s common to hear people say that
hese Yankees will take you out to
.inch and spend a lot of money on you
3r the purpose of trying to get at
our pocket book through your stomch.
There may be something in this;
ut no more so probably with New
'orkers than with other people. Even
mong the business people of New
'ork, the men are Just as human
s the men to be found elsewhere,
'hey know as well how to be cautious
nd hospitable, and in most cases
rhen they ask a friend or acquainmce
to take a meal with them, it I
leans exactly the same as when a
outhern man extends the same kind
f invitation to go to his home. It is
fact, of course that more important <
usiness is transacted over dining |
ibles north than elsewhere; but that T
oes not necessarily argue that there
i any catch or snare about it. It has '
een my experience at different times 1
n previous trips as well as this to bt .
ivited to lunch or dinner by wealthy
few Yorkers, and I do not mind say- '
tg that the way they spent money

now that this should be no concern
f mine, and after all perhaps of the
?n or twenty dollars spent by a rich
tan over a little lunch for two, maybe
good portion goes to the cook, the
orters, the waiters and various other
ervants and their families along
own the line. What looks like wasteil
extravagance may be wise distriution.
and maybe after all there is
o cause to moralize over the matter,
lowever, one thing is certain, if it
ills upon me to do the honors in New

a nickle and two pennies. "I thought
I had fifteen cents, enough to get to

1 have only a nickle and two pennies.

Upon Their Experience.

sorted to the convention of the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents,
n New York, last Thursday, some of
:he resutls of an exhaustive mortality
nvestigation Just completed by the
ife insurance companies into 2,000,)00
insured lives in the past twentyIve
years.
Mr. Hunter is chairman of the cental
bureau of the Medico-Actuarial
committee, which had charge of the
:hree and one-half year inquiry. The
investigation dealt with the experience
of forty-three of the leading companies
of the United States and Canada
in a great many groups of persons
supposed to have a higher mortality
than the average among Insured lives.
While the fundamental object of the
nvestigation was to aid the companies
in determining what risks in the future
should be accepted, rated up, or
leclined, Mr. Hunter said that the results
could be utilized to lengthen hunan
life.
Taking up some of the specific results
of the investigation, Mr. Hunter
said: "Nothing has been more conclusively
proved than that a steady,
free use of alcoholic beverages, or occasional
excesses, are detrimental to
he individual. In my judgment, it
las also been proved beyond perad/enture
of doubt that total abstinence
from alcohol is of value to humanity;
it is certain that abstainers live longer
than persons who use alcoholic beverages.
Among the men who admlt:ed
that they had taken alcohol occasionally
to excess in the past, but
whose habits were considered satisfactory
when they were insured there
were 289 deaths, while there would
have been only 190, had this group
Deen made up of Insured lives in general.
The extra mortality was, therefore,
over 50 per cent, which was
?auivalent to a reduction in the aver
ige life of these men of over four
pears."
One of the most significant results
af the investigation, he said, was the
high mortality among railroad men.
\mong locomotive engineers the mortality
was 60 per cent in excess of that
imong the insured as a whole, which
is equivalent to five years' reduction
in the average life time.
"There is a general Impression that
saloon keepers do not live as long as
persons in non-hazardous occupations,"
he continued, "but it is not
jenerally known that most classes
ivhich are connected with either the
manufacture or sale of liquor have a
high mortality. Among saloon proprietors,
whether they attended the
aar or not, there was an extra mortality
of 70 per cent, and the causes
af death indicated that a free use of
ilcohol beverages had caused many
af the deaths. In the fourteen sublivisions
of the trades connected with
:he manufacture or sale of alcohol,
there was only one class which had a
lormal mortality and that was the
ilstillery proprietors."

The right to be tired is a menaced i
nale monopoly. American drama
now revolves, a dance of hourls,
round the head of "the tired business
man." The problem of the
problem novel Is how to please him.
Magazines and newspapers must
electrify his drowsing senses. The
advertising scientist studies his psychology:
he is bombarded with catchword
and epigram to make him sit
up and take notice. In a crusty humor,
he is wheedled and cajoled; in
a gay mood he is obsequiously battArod

comes home never hear of a thing
that has gone wrong; his imperial
majesty seeks diversion and his
senses must be steeped in the valerian,
veronal and bromidloms ol
speech and literature or the merry
play. There is something, of course,
to be said for tired men. But they
can speak up for themselves, and
they do. Why take it for granted
that a man overworked is Socrates,
bland and philosophic, but a tired
wife is Xantippe, of aspic tongue and
vinegar aspect? Job was a splendid
fellow, but what was his wife doing
while he sate bemoaning on his ash
heap? She was organizing herself
into a committee of ways and means
?she was considering how much
she could get for purple draperies
and golden vases and thoroughbred
kine. Job, like Bronson Alcott, had
conversational marathons with all the
philosophers of the neighborhood.

be "endowed to talk," but his daughter
Louisa wrote the books and kept

the laugh was not on the faces of the
women who had to do the work that
the men refused to do.
It is better that a man and woman
shall reach the understanding that
they are not upon the earth to
make war, but to help each other.
Whatever else woman suffrage will
do or leave undone, it will not extirpate
chivalry. For a woman, though
deceived and disappointed often, will
not surrender her belief that in the
world, for her and other women,
there are men of tenderness and
strength, of fortitude and touching
self-denials, friends of God and servants
of men, fitted, therefore, to be
comrades and the helpers of weakness
and weariness and affectionate
dependence.?Philadelphia Ledger.
PROTECT THEIR 8ULTAN
How Cow Elephants Defend the Old
Bull.
Carl E. Akeley, African explorer, in
a communication to the National Geographic
society at Washington, tells of
an elephant "first-aid brigade, made
up of the female elephants of a herd,
which not only attempted to give succor
to their wounded "sultan," but
went on "patrol duty" In an effort to
punish his assailant.
While hunting elephants In Uganda,
Mr. Akeley came upon a herd in a
clearing, rounded up In close formation,
conscious of the presence of an
unseen enemy. "There were about
twenty-five elephants, mostly cows;
as I was on the point of backing
off to a safer distance, thinking there
were no big bulls In the lot, a fine
pair of tusks appeared on the near
side," he says. "A clump of bushes
offered cover for a near approach, and
I went quickly to within twenty yards
of him, and as his front leg was thrust
forward offering a good opportunity
for a heart shot, I fired both barrels of
the double rifle In quick succession.
"All was commotion as I seized my
second rifle and, seeing there was no
direct charge, retreated some fifty
yards to the top of an ant hill, from
which I could see what was going on.
I then witnessed a scene such as I
had heard described and which I had
been keen to verify. A number of the
cows were clustered about the bull, for
he had fallen 30 yards from where he
was shot, and with their tusks and
trunks were doing their best to get
him upon his feet; the rest of the
cows were doing patrol duty, rushing
about in an increasing circle, searching
for the source of the trouble. That
meant me, so I retired to a safe distance
and waited for the atmosphere
to clear. The bull stood 11 feet 4
inches high at the shoulders, and the
tusks weighs 96 to 110 pounds respectively,
while the circumference of
the front foot at the sole was 67J
inches, the largest recorded, I believe.
It is generally understood that large
bull elephants are more frequently to
be found apart from the herds, but our
experience does not bear this out.
Three bulls that we have shot, having
tusks each weighing over 100 pounds,
have been herd bulls. We have found
the large old bulls enjoying the society
and protection of large herds of
cows and young animals. One splendid
old bull, well known in Uganda,
who has been seen by many hunters,
is so well protected by a large herd of
most aggressive cows, who charge at
the slightest intimation of danger, that
he still survives. These old bulls are
very rare, for when one has developed
tusks of 50 pounds he becomes the tar
gei ior every nunier, native or wnue,
who rests eyes upon him; thus it is
only the more crafty or timid individuals
that, seeking the protection of
large herds or clinging to the more inaccessible
regions, such as dense forests.
manage to survive to a ripe old
age and develop a growth of ivory.
"At another time, I was watching a
herd from an ant hill, when from the
cows there was a low, ominous rumble
like distant thunder, which was plain
talk and meant trouble. A hasty
glance around convinced us that there
was but one thing to do, to stand and
meet the charge from the elevation
where we were and from which we
could see. If we tried to escape to
one side or to the forest we could not
see them over the high grass before
they were upon us. They charged toward
us. came half way and stopped.
They had lost the wind, but immediately
caught it again, and roaring and
ecreaming with redoubled energy came
into view over a slight rise. It was a
disconcerting spectacle. Their great
ears at full spread, trunks thrashing
wildly, a roaring, screaming mass, 40
tons of female elephant vengeance. I
remember that l relt homesicK. a rifle
shot stopped the leader, but encouraged
by the others, she came on,
only to be knocked down by the second
shot. The others crowded about her.
sniffed and bolted. The old cow slowly
regained her feet and staggered
away, while we In deep gratitude returned
to camp."

Regarding the
Monument
The Monument is the sole product
of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time?beyond the memory that we ^
cherish in our hearts, which is only
as long as the span of life. It may
help to form a record, but it is erected
as a tribute of love to those who
have passed "to that bourne from
whence no traveler ever returns." As
such, let it be a thing of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sorrow,
but symbolizing undying love. v
And as architecture is brought to us a,
from the past by the tombs of the ^
ancients, so let us pass on to those
In our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception of beauty.
