Mr. F., he said:. "I atn.snre they are

not remember where they occur. Of

, Tbo Spanish train averages possibly
twenty miles n feonr to allow one to
make, time exposures ot the scenery
perhaps. It makes frequent and long
waits. At every station the guards
rou up and. down.. shunting the name
of the town and the number of nilirq
ntes for each stop. At every station
also the two military guards who ac
company each train descend and walk
around the nrs,-looking to see that
no robbers are concealed. .As ,there
Is at least one stop an hour: these
guards get some exercise before the
day Is over. - They say this custom was
adopted to drive away any brigands
who might be concealed in or under
the train and that it has been success

fine looking men and wear an impress

At twei'ly-Irce he thought fate was
making a special effort to keep him

At thirty-five he thought he might

At fifty be was positive that there
was a conspiracy against him on the
part of his fellow men.
At sixty be felt that If he could have

The Smooth Way.
In the last generation Tyler Cobb,
Esq., was a well known citizen of
North Hrldgewnter, now Brockton,
Mass. He was famous throughout
Plymouth county for his witty retorts
and dr;.- humor.
Never having t.iUen a sea trip. Sir.
Cobb one day conceived the hlea of
making 11 voyage to New York. Ac
cordingly he sailed from Boston In a
small schooner. The first day out a
storm was encountered and Mr. Cobb
becamo violently-, sick, but after sev
eral hours he mustered up courage and
strength to look out upon the troubled
waters.
As he looked, from the side of the
little ship up 'the trough of the sea It
seemed very smooth to him. The cap
tain's cutting of the waves was sense
less, he told himself. Bat as this mad
steering continued the unhappy pas

Worked It Off.
Just what may. happen to a man who
Isn't strictly honest was Illustrated on
a street ear a few days ago. A man
handed the conductor a dollar and
asked JTor a strip of tickets. He re
ceived' his five tickets.; and then the
conductor fumbled around for change
and managed to make a "mistake."
He handed tlic man two half dollars
Instead'' of 75 cents. The man put
awity'" the ' money" without saying a
word and in a couple of minutes work
ed bis way to the front .of the car and
got off. "Say. conductor," said an in
terested observer, "did you know you
didn't give that man the right
change?". The conductor smiled 'com
placently. "That's all right." he said.
"If he'd been honest and returned that
bad half dollar I'd have given him a
good quarter for It. I've been trying
to get rid of that piece of money for a
week. I guess lie deserved to get
stung." Philadelphia Kccord.
A Doubtful Outlook.
A woman In evident distress was
standing at her door.
, "What's, the matter, Mrs. Brown?"
Inquired a neighbor. . .
"Oh, I dont know what to do!" was
the reply.' "Bill's away at- the foot
ball match." .
"Well, what about that?" said the
other.
"Ab," rcspondi-d Mrs. Brown, "you
don't know Bill! When hla side wins
ho gets on the loose, and when they
lose he comes home and whacks me.
They've played a draw today, and I'm
sure I don't know what he'll do this
time!" Iindon !'. :j ress.

Deceitful Appearances.
A remarkable experience once befell
Mark Twain In Australia, which, he
said, determined him never again to
Judge by appearances. He had Just
landed at an Australian iort, and, to
his chagrin, there was no porter In
sight to carry Ills luggage. .Seeing a
rough looking, badly dressed old fel
low leaning idly against a post with
his bands in his pockets, the author
beckoned to him and said:
"See here. If you'll carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half a
dollar."
The mail scowled darkly, and, tak
ing three or four golden sovereigns
from his pocket, he delilierately threw
thorn Inte the sea. scowled at ,Mark
Twain again and walked away with
out a word.
