Back iii the seventies of the list century, when the Kansas division of the Union Pacific was called the Kansas Pacific, Major E. D. Reddington, who had served with distinction in the civil war, was pay master. At that time the paymaster was the biggest man connected with the road in the estimation of the employees and the people living in the towns along the line, and his arrival in the pay car was usually the occasion for a great outpouring of the people. One night Major Reddington's car pulled into the town of Wallace. The major and his clerks were given a grand welcome by the people. They were escorted to a railroad boarding house and treated as royal guests. It was conducted by a buxom Irishwoman, who boasted that she set the best table of any town along the road. . At supper that night every regular boarder turned up at the table looking his best. The Irish "land lady," as they called her, appeared in a neat blue calico dress, all primped up and smiling. "Tay 'r coffee?" she asked, with a pretty courtesy, as she passed from one guest to another. The regular boarders understood it all, and they answered, "Coflee, please, mum." Major Reddington, however, was a down east Yankee and not much of a coffee drinker, so when the question was put to him he replied with his usual politeness : "I will have a cup of tea, if you please." It almost took her breath away. The look of disgust on her face caused the regular boarders to titter. Then she flared up. "Say coffee, ye omadahn, f'r we have no tay," she said as she poured the major's cup full of steaming coffee.?Kansas City Star. Prompt Action Necessary. "Is this Lawyer Sharpley?" asked the caller, who appeared with a big lump on his jaw. The man in the swivel chair admitted that he was Mr. Sharpley and also that he saw the lump. "Yes, it is quite notiaeable," said the caller, with a cheerful smile. "I got it a couple of days ago while I -a ? - _A l rpL~ I was stepping on a street tar. iuc motorman started too soon, and he made me hit hv^jaw against the side of the ear. I thought at first that it had broken the bone, but it hadn't quite. It hurt me awfully, though, and I want you to bring suit against the company for damages." "I am very busy just now," said the lawyer, "but I can take it up for you in the course of three or four days." "That won't do at all." "Why not?" "Because," answered the caller hesitatingly, ''that might be too late. The lump is getting smaller every day." Sentiment In the Wedding. Very few persons have the courage to be married quietly,, without fuss or expense. Men have sometimes gone through the ceremony and left their wives at the church door. But in such cases the marriage was one of compulsion or state necessity and in nowise affected the general custom. The old fashion of the posy ring, given on the wedding day, was pretty, and these rings, with their quaint conceits and affectionate mottoes, are now eagerly sought after as curiosities. In these prosaic times lovers no longer share broken coins or the halves of a locket or give min- | iatures to wear around the neck, as even George IV., that heartless and selfish monarch, did,, being buried with the picture of Mrs. Fitz-Herbert banging on his breast.

The Black Maria. In Boston's early days a negress named Maria Lee kept a sailors' boarding house near the water front. She was a woman of gigantic size and prodigious strength and was of great assistance to the authorities in keeping the peace. When an unusually troublesome fellow was on the way to the lockup Black Maria, as Maria Lee was called, would come to the assistance of the policeman, and her services were in such requisition for this purpose that her name was associated with almost every arrest made. Black Maria often carried a prisoner to the lockup on her shoulder, and when the prison van was instituted for the purpose of carrying prisoners it naturally enough was styled the Black Maria. , * ' This man out acquaintin of SCHNAPF qualities that \ less expense ti SCHNAPPS has been j ps.per so that every ch< opportunity to get acqi facts and know that dn to produce the cheering the famous Piedmont cc tobaccos, and that SCHN oight to chew.

Shortly after Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's book, "Little Lord Fauntleroy,'' appeared she went with her two little boys to a seaside hotel. The story had made a great , sensation, and there had ensued a regular ep demic of Fauntleroy curls, Fauntleroy suits and Fauntleroy youngsters. In the room next to that occupied by Mrs. Burnett was a dash.ng, rather overdressed widow, with a red haired, bullet headed son of about seven, who was the terror of the hotel. Anticipating the arr val of the famous author, the xr other had purchased a complete aril elaborate rauntieroy outfit, with which she proceeded to deck out he:' unappreciative and rebellious offspring. Not content with this outward seeming, the woman desired to complete the caricature by compelling her precious child to address her as "dearest," after the manner of the hero of the book, instead of "mommer" or, more frequently, merely "say," as had been his previous custom. Mrs. Burnett arrived no sooner than she had been expected, but apparently before little Johnny had entirely completed his course of instruction ir filial courtesy, as was evident by the sounds which penetrated the thin lath and plaster partition between the rooms. This is what Mrs. Burnett heard: "Johnny!" Silence. "Johnny, do you hear me ?" Silence. "Call me 'Dearest!'" Silence. "Will voi call me 'Dearest,' or shall I make you?" "Yer can't make me." "Yes, I can. Call me 'Dearest!'" "Go ter blazes!" "That's no way to speak to me." 'rt i? J _ ?t-i. "it s a good Blgllt UtJiLtrr u j uu want me to say." "It isn't. Call me 'Dearest!'" Silence: "Do you want me to use the trunk strap? Call me 'Dearest!'" Silence. "Call me 'Dearest!'" Silence. Biff! Biff! Biff! Biff! "Call me 'Dearest!'" "I won't " Biff! "I won't!" Biff! Biff! "Ouch! You hurt!" "Then call me 'Dearest!'" "Oh, all right, then, dearest." "Now, see here. If you don't remember to call me 'dearest' at dinner tonight I'll wallop you within an inch of your life, you ungrateful thing!"?Success. The Teacher Declined. A first year pupil was absent from school one day. The next day she appeared at school and handed the teacher a note explaining her absence, written by her mother. The following is the explanation: "My dear Miss C.?Please excuse Helen for absence, as she fell on the sidewalk and hurt the side of her hip, and by doing the same you will greatly oblige. Mrs. S." ?
