The establishment of an Internal

letter to Mayor QalvJn from John
Weld Pock, Cincinnati Southern
railway trustee. The letter in part

times, generally apenking, unprofit

upon thoeo rivers lies in u unified
system reaching all ports uuder the

in one of the classrooms.
Not wishing to pay for it out of
his modest allowance of pocket
money, the youthful scholar re
paired tho damage by pasting a sheet
of stilf paper over tho aperture.
When, however, tho professor
whoso room it was, next entered it
he thrust his cane through tho make

class, remarked scntentiously, "lie

Tho heir to tho Japanese imperial
throne declined to take the bint, ami
next morning another sheet of paper
appeared with the same fate, and fo
on the next day, and so on tho

On the fifth day when tho profes

A stranger in New York was walk

Tho visitor was surprised that the

ceived the information lie wanted.
The next dav he commented on the
incident in tho hotel am) the house

explanation :
"That stone was probably laid
there by u window thief, who won!
time himself to saunter by us a sur

unusual noise was imminent, so that
the window could bu smashed with
less likelihood of being heard and
the culprit would make it quick get
