NEW "SHORT STORIES
Th Magnate' Surrender.
Oue of tha boal of JauuiJ. HU1,
tbe railroad, ningnate. has been that he
has no telephone lu his house. "My
office is tbe plaie'to do business," be
has declared,-"a ud my olllce hours tbe
tluie In which to do business. When I
am behlud tbo door of my home I am
safe front tbe world."
He has been, too, as can be proved
by many a reporter who tried to inter
view him there at night. Tbe best the
reporter ever got was a sarcustic grin
from the butler, wbo buttled tbe re
porter out to tbe cold world and a hot
city editor. But the other day, accord
ing to Mr. Hill's own statement, his
butler approached him. "Tbe man is
here to put In tbe telephone," said the
butler.
Mr. Hill promptly wllburwrlgbted.
He wanted no telephone, he said. He
would have no telephone. He regarded
It as a piece of gross impertinence on
lf4i.
' "WHY DIDN'T TOD TKI.Ii HIM SO.r
' the part of tbe telephone company to
assume that bo wanted a telephone.
"Why didn't you tell blm so'" be de
.. mauded of the butler., Now, you would
think that tbls meulnl, couvlcted of
error, would have wilted bcuentb tbe
maguate's frown. He did uot. "Hi told
blm, sir," said the butler culmly, "that
tbis telephone was wanted by the serv
ants, sir. Ill told 'lm you didn't desire
bit, sir, but that we 'ad to 'ave it." -.
James J. Hill, magnate, looked at
Mr. Hill's butler's impassive face. Ha
twiddled bis lingers for a moment on
the mahogany desk. Then, confronted
wltb the certainty of a servants' strike,
be weakened. "Put It In, then," be
said, and, with a return of courage, he
growled at the butler, "But if I'm ever
bothered by It I'll fire every one of
you."
And the butler bowed In meekness
aud said, "Very good, sir." Cincinnati

Tillman's Favorlts Dish.
A year or two ago Senator Tillman
rave to a cbef lu the senate restau
rant a recipe for an excellent corned
beef hash, tbe fome of which speedily
penetrated to the uttermost recesses of
the caoitol.
When tbe head waiter wants this
bash prepared with unusual care he
orders It iu this wise:
"Oue corned beef hnsh for Seuutor
Tillman."
One day recently during the lunch
eon hour the restaurant- wus doing a
land office business, aud everybody
seemed to want corned beef -hash.
Ten times at least did a waller up-
proacb tbe servlug table with tbe or-
der for Senator Tillman's corned beef
bash. I
Finally tbe thing got on the chefs
nerves. "Look heah," he shouted, to .

Ketchel has expressed his willing

he will rest up tirst before be tackles

Drlscoll Wants Audi's Title.
That the world's featherweight title

adorning a subject of the llilllsh Isles
was presaged at the National Athletic
club recently. Jem Drlscoll Is oue of
tbe classlesl little men who ever came
out front Kngltitid. He can both bos

bolder of the title, showed In his re

Is on tbedowu grade. An nnalyzafiuu
of the contest proved that he has lost
