I Tonng Girl Reared in Luxnrjr Now Makes Her Home in a Freight Car, j While Her Husband Works Upward as a Railroader. "Love in a Box Car" is the title of the romantic drama iu real life which is now occupying the attention of Kansas people. Fort Scott has had thrilling I melodramas at the town opera house, but none to compare in interest with I the Hammond-Barrett '-Love in a Bos j Car." I Briefly it Is the story of young Char- ley Hammond, who married a Miss j Barrett, only daughter of a millionaire ! mine owner of Butte. Mont. Hammond j Is the son of R. R. Hammond, general superintendent of the Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad. The couple mar ried without the consent of anybody who holds the Barrett-Hammond for tunes in charge. They are now living happily in box car No. 12,118, and Ham mond is boss of a work train on the Memphis road. "Hammond'U rise," say the men on the road. "He's got the grit and he's got the knack." And young Ham mond Is working with the vim of a man who has made up his mind to succeed. He Is alert to the possibilities of his job, and has already won one promo tion. Meanwhile the families of both frown on the young people, and there is every evidence that Hammond will need all his pluck and his courage. Mrs. Ham mond wears a trousseau made in Paris, reads the latest novels, and haughtily refuses to return the calls of the aris tocracy of Fort Scott. Hitherto she has had only to wish for things, and if money could buy them they were hers. The box car in which the Hammonds are living has seen hard service. A coat of dull red paint has served to con ceal some of its scars and patches. The floor is covered with 25-cent matting in the drawing-room end, and 20-cent oilcloth on the kitchen and dining-room end. The dainty slippers of Mrs. Ham mond, so used to heavy velvet carpets, now "tap, tap" across floor covering MB. AND MRS.

The Hammonds were married at a fashionable hotel in Hot Springs, Ark. He was 24, gay, jolly and thoughtless, depending upon the generosity of a wealthy father to keep the wolf out of the front yard. She was 20, pretty, im petuous and self-willed. They had met at Hot Springs just a year before. She was staying then at the Park Hotel with her parents, dazzling everybody with her exquisite toilets and superb jewels, the gifts of her devoted father. Young Hammond was then recovering from an injury sustained in a runaway while employed as an operator at a small Missouri town on his father's railroad. His father had put him there to "tone him down," he said. He began paying attentions to Miss Barrett, but his advances were not encouraged by her family. They snubbed him and made their objections very plain. Ham mond laughed and said that he was courting the girl and not the family. If it came to a question of money and position the Hammonds did very well, he thought, probably as well as the Barretts. Miss Barrett alone failed to share the prejudices of her family. Young Ham mond was handsome and clever and athletic, and she fell in love with him. The family finally consented to the match and the bride's trousseau was ordered from Paris by cable. Prepara tions were made for an elaborate wed ding and the fashionable society of Hot Springs was bidden to the affair. A few days before the date set for the wedding young Hammond quarreled with the Barretts, and rumor had It that the match was broken off. But It was not only the fashionable cere mony was dispensed with. The young people went to another hotel, and it is said were married in defiance of pater nal authority. At first the couple took up their residence at Kansas City and spent a few weeks there. Then mat ters began to look dubious. Bread and cheese and kisses are all right for late suppers, but palates accustomed to filets mignons, French peas, and straw berry shotcake crave heartier proven der. Kansas City wondered what would happen, when one day young Hammond disappeared. There was talk of reconciliations, and next he ap peared in the garb of a practical rail road man as straw boss of a section gang in the yards at Fort Scott. To the further astonishment of the 400 of Kansas City and Fort Scott, Mrs. Hammond accompanied her husband. They took apartments in a fashionable quarter, went to the theater and social functions of various sorts evenings, while the young husband, in working clothes and broad-rimmed laborer's hat, honestly worked all day. Nobody wore such costly costumes as the wife of the section hand of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad Company, and at afternoon teas, receptions and card clubs the devotion of the Ham monds was the popular theme for weeks. Many women of the highest standing called upon Mrs. Hammond, but she, through entbarrassmeut or ec centricity, acknowledged few of these attentions. Mrs. Hammond appeared to be under the wing of a social leader of the town, and in response to her kindly suggestions a half-dzen young women of Fort Scott's upper crus; called one day on the bride at her hotel. She was lounging in one of her ex quisite Paris tea gowns and reading the latest novels. She sent down word that she was "too weary to see any body." Since then the upper-crust young women who called have had a tired feeling at the mention of young Mrs. Hammond. While this was apparently merely a caprice, it created a sensation locally, and the recent announcement in one of the newspapers that the Hammonds had gone to live in a box car was grati fying in the extreme to those who felt snubbed. The box car runs over the division be tween Fort Scott and Memphis wher evet there is any repairing to be done. The Hammonds' meals are furnished by the regular cook with the work train, and are very plain. Hammond, however, seems cheerful and indus trious. His young wife holds her head high, wears her imported gowns, reads the latest novels, and only to her inti mates says from her heart: "We mar ried for love, you know." From section boss ycting Hammond has already risen to the management of a train of thirty men. Promotion did not bring more extravagant habits. The Hammonds still live in the car and are apparently contented. THREE TIMES WAS ENOUGH. Webster Did Not Propose to Square His Account a Fourth Time. Daniel Webster was notoriously care less in business matters. He did not seem to know the value of money, and scattered it about with a lavish hand when he had it and borrowed it when he could. An incident illustrating the tlrst mentioned trait of his is related. On one occasion a man presented a bill to him for payment. "Why," said Webster, "I have paid that bill before." The neighbor assured-tim that he was mistaken. "All right, then; call again in the morning and I will settle with you." As soon as the man was gone Web ster called his sou Fletcher and told him to look over his papers and see if he could not find a receipted bill. To the surprise of both, two receipted bills were found, showing that the bill had been paid twice. Webster put the re ceipts in his pocket and said nothing. In the morning the neighbor returned for the money. Webster took his seat under the old elm and ordered Wright to bring out the decanter. Filling the glass to the brim, he handed it to the man and told him to drink. Webster then began: "Mr. Blank, do you keep books?" The man assured him that he did not. "Then I would advise you to do so," said Webster, and, pulling one of the receipts from his pocket, handed it to him. The man was covered with confusion, while Webster continued: "And while you are about it you had better get a bookkeeper who under stands double entry!" at the same time handing him another receipt. "Now," said Webster, "I am going to pay this bill just once more, but I as sure yon upon my word of honor that I will not pay it the fourth time:" Queer hevice for Gambling. "The queerest gambling device that I ever saw was a check perforator," said J. H. Irons of the United States mar shal's office. "I went into a downtown bank not long ago at the noon hour to serve a paper on the president. There was a board meeting on in a back room. I noticed all of the clerks in, a bunch playing some game, and I went over to see what it was. They had one of those revolving check perforators with numbers on it from 0 to 9. One man was spinning and acting as 'bank er,' while the others were laying bets on the numbers. They were operating on the old wheel-of-fortune system. I got so deeply interested that I forgot all about the paper I had to serve until there was a sudden scattering of the group and a disappearance of the per forator and the cash on the board. I turned and saw the president. When he entered the banking room every clerk was busy at his desk."

A bachelor says that a tyrant is a woman who fancies herself superior to her husband and lets her neighbors know IC Joslah Flynt, the well-known ex plorer of traiup life, has collaborated with Alfred Hodder in the preparation of a book entitled "The Under World." Paola Lombroso, who has just pub lished a book on the "Problem of Hap piness," is a daughter of Prof. Lom broso, the criminal anthropologist. Miss Lombroso disagrees entirely with the views of her father. Andrew Lang asserts that novels are almost if not altogether the only form of literature that is remunerative now; nevertheless, he thinks that a new Froude, Macaulay or Tennyson would even now find readers. Albert White Vorse, the new editor of the transformed Criterion, has writ ten several stories of Arctic life and adventure, some of which will soon ap pear in book form, under the title of "The Laughter of the Sphinx." Anne E. Holdsworth, who makes a specialty of pathetic and tragic stories, has depicted invalid life in the German Alps, in a novel called "The Valley of the Great Shadow." It follows the motif of "Ships that Pass in the Night." It is reported that an American pa per once contained this announcement: "Mr. Browning has declined to furnish us with a poem in exchange for a thou sand dollars. We find ourselves more than ever unable to understand Mr. Browning." Herbert Spencer has completed his autobiography, but it is not to be pub lished until after his death. It Is prob ably not all serious and philosophical, for among the author's possessions is an excellent sense of humor, and he tells a good story and loves to hear one. Among the autograph manuscripts to be disposed of in the forthcoming sale of the Peel library are four pages from Dr. Johnson's memorandum book, con taining prayers, meditations and reso lutions.

He carefully prepared the small gar den plot, while his wife, deeply Inter ested in his labor, stood watching him. After he had put in the seeds and" smoothed over the bed, his wife took his arm to accompany him to the house, and on the way she asked: "When will the seeds come up, John?" Laying his hand caressingly on her shoulder, the smart man said: "I don't expect them to come up at all, my dear." "You don't!" she exclaimed. "Then why have you gone to all that trou ble?" With a smile that springs from su perior knowledge, he answered: "The seeds won't come up, but the plants and flowers will, by and' by." - , Yet he was wrong; for his neigh bor's hens got into his garden, and the seeds did come up.

A female witness, possessed of a rich brogue, was on the stand in Judge Donovan's' court the other day.

Early Egyptian Laborers Were the First to Inaugurate Them. It Is often asserted that the labor itrike as such does not date back fur ;her than Capt. Boycott, in the early part of the century. As a matter of tact the earliest strike dates back to ibout 1450 B. C, or upward of thirty- three centuries ago. Pharaoh was building a new .temple of Thebes. The masons received very little cash, but a quantity of provisions, which the con tractors thought sufficient, was handed to them oh the first of each month. Sufficient or not, they mostly ate it be fore the time had elapsed. On one oc casion many of them had nothing left quite early in the month, so they marched to the contractor's house, be fore which they squatted and refused to budge until justice was done. The contractor persuaded them to lay their Distress before Pharaoh, who was about to visit the works, and he gave them a handsome supply of corn, and so all went well for that month. But the same state of things recurred by the middle of the next and for some lays the men struck work. Various conferences took place, but the men ieclined to do a stroke until they were given another supply of food. They declared the clerks cheated them, used false weights and so forth, familiar enough complaints in this country un der the truck system. The contractor not complying with their demands, they marched to the governor of the city to lay their grievances before him, and he tried to get them to return to work by smooth words, but that was no use and they insisted on having food. At last, to get rid of them, he drew up an order for corn on the public granary and the strike was at an end. Collier's Weekly. .- f: Scbool for Paris Cabbies. There are coachmen and coachmen, the newest type being the conductor of the automatic car. The city of Paris secures his proper training at Auber villiers, where the Compaguie General des Voltures has its school. A circular track of 700 meters in extent serves as the training ground. It is what the French call accidente in one place flat and macadamized, elsewhere gently sloping upward, or falling in abrupt descent; here paved with wood, and there with stones, while a little further on the road is "up," and sand heaps, loose bricks and broken glass threaten the tyro and the tire. The wayfarers who are dotted along the route must be "humored and not druv." Fortunately, they are not flesh and blood. They are merely metal dummies propped up by a stick from behind and ready to fall at a touch. Each figure presents the familiar personalities of the Paris streets bourgeois, soldiers, scorchers. Tommy playing marbles, and the cur that goes for every wheel. There also are nurse, baby and go-cart The cast iron baby shows complete indifference, which also is true to life. The track of Aubervilliers is nothing if not realistic. -Fall Mall Gazette. Barrister and Solicitor. Lawyers in England are divided into two great classes counsellors or bar risters, and attorneys or solicitors. The counsellors or barristers, as these terms Imply, confine themselves to the actual trial and argument of cases in open court, and to consultations with attor neys or solicitors who represent the clients. It is contrary to professional etiquette for a barrister to confer or consult directly with his client. The attorneys, or solicitors, as they are all now styled, see the client, take his statement, gather the facts, and put it all down in writing in what is called "the brief." The brief is then handed by the solicitor to the barrister, with his retaining fee, and thereupon the barrister and solicitor confer; the bar rister gives his advice and opinion, and if the case goes to trial he does all the work in court, such as examining and cross-examining witnesses, and argu ing or summing up the case before the court or jury. The solicitor does not speak in court at all. Clay Images Are Worshiped. The effete religious systems and idol atrous practices of China represent an annual expenditure of $400,000,000. There are 4,000,000 deities, 300,000 tem ples. Some temples are served by a hundred priests. These men are illiter ate, and often from the very scum of society. About 70,000 pigs, rabbits, sheep and deer, and 27,000 pieces of costly silk are annually offered at the sacrifices. They worship clay images of men, dogs, turtles, snakes, lizards and in sects. The people live in dread of evil spirits, which are supposed to cause disease and calamity. They propitiate the evil spirits rather than pray to the good, having a belief in the cruelty and heartlessness of the gods. Oldest Manufacturing Industry. The oldest manufacturing industry in Great Britain is that of flints and flint locks, which has been carried on since the beginning of the fifteenth century, If not farther back still, at the Ling heath mines, Brandon, on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk. The flints are all made by hand, being placed on the operator's knee and chipped with a hammer to the proper shape. Oi course, a number of. these flints ar used for fire-making, being principally used in countries like Spain and Italy, where the duties on ordinary matches and wax matches are so high as to con vert them into luxuries.
