The life of a porter on a sleeping-car
is usually pictured as olio full of trial.
and tribulations, and his work as lack

in a great measure true.
Most men who enter into thn rlutin.
of a "car-service man," as the porters
re oallcd, recognize that thoy are work
ing; for a vast corporation, and there
must exist a strict system of discipline.
It has been said that among tho orders
issued to the porters nro those to wear
clean, white linen, "stand-up" collars
and bright and clean uniforms. They
are furthermore forbidden to spoak to
the lady hassenprors, unless first spoken

(ramble in any way?' These are sample
questions. A porter, when he is ac
cepted, is told his duties and supplied
with badges, buttons and white jack
ets. The uniforms, summer and winter
weights, ho must purchase. Tho porter
is not asked to wear a white vest That
is a portion of the conductor's summer
uniform. The vest in cold weather is
covered up by tho coat, which is but
toned clear to the top. A white standing-collar
and flat scarf are demanded of
the porters for the sake of having uni
formity and preventing gaudy or
'sporty' neckwear. Tho shoes or boots
must be kept polished, and ourcompany
prohibits the use of -slippers at any
time while on duty. Tho Pullman
company allows its porters to wear
slippers, after all passengers have re
tired, or when lying at a waiting point.
The summer or light-weight uniforms
are worn from Juno 1 until October 1.
Portors aro requested to remove thotr
caps when making up or put; 7 away
berths or attending to other si. .lar du
ties. They aro provided with wb
duck jackets by the company to bo vori,
over the uniform while doing this work
only, and the porters must, see that
they secure enough to have a clean one
for each night. At no time wliilo on
duty is a porter allowed to play cards or
gamble. This seems liko a ' startling
array of rules, but if the men aro will
ing to do the work thoy aro employed to
perform they can not consistently complain."
"Have you any system of rewarding
old and efficient men?"
"Yes; they got tho best 'runs,' like
those to New York on tho limited. We
have porters who commenced working
for us fifteen years ago. Thoy like the j
work, and, as I said, they get flic prof-
erence of the best runs. These portors I
earn much more than tho conductors." j
Thero is one thing which very often
disgusts a Pullman porter. His berth
is supposed to bo thut in tho smoking
room, but should tho smoking-room be
"sold," ho must take "upper 1." If
that also is occupied, tho porter must
either remain awako or crawl up on tho
roof and sleep. Between tho hour of
teh p. m. and throe a. m. the po-.-ter is
monarch of tho car. He can lio with
one eye open and watch any number of
passengers enter the car at a m:iin
station, but, though they call loudly
for their berths, he never moves. Jt is
bis Bleeping time, and the conductor
must then make up berths.

A Horse Recognizes a Frliind Whom Ho

Taverner tells a good story in the
Boston Post apropos of the subiect of
memory in horses: I happened to be the
witness of an odd scone tho other day
wuicn, wnon recounted, may possibly
amuse ine reaaor. une of those not in
frequent, but I must confess usually fto
utious necessities had arisen which
take me to a stable on this occasion to
a large establishment in the vicinity of
vuaruon street, it was about rv a'oloek
in the afternoon and various people
wore starting for home, among them a
man and woman who had a remarkably
Intelligent-looking gray horse. Just as
he began to trot down the lane by which
the stable is reached from the street, a
stout "party" who, I noticed, had been
watching the gray very intently, sud
denly cried out in a loud voice: "Dan,
don t you want a piece of cake?" Th
horse stopped short, pricked up MsMri,
looked around and uttered faint
whinny of recognition and assent; nor
would he go on until the stout mas had
come forward and explained his inter
ference. It appeared that several years
oeiore ne had brought the horse from
Vermont, where he had owned him for
some time, and as the beast was nar
Ucuiarly docile he had taught him the
true sense of the question, the sudden
asking of which brought the animal to
a standstill. It is well known that
horses never forget a person or place,
and scarcely an event. No matter how
much time has elapsed or how greatly
me norae may nave changed in disnosl
don, one word from a former master will
wtablish immediately the old relation

STANLEY'S BENEFACTOR
History
of the Great Explorer'!
Foater-Father.
Starting in New Orleans at an Early Ag
He llrnme Widely Known and
licipoctcd lloserted by His
Adopted Children.
Many New Orleans citizens rememhei
Henry Hope Stanley, who adopted
Stanley, the explorer, and gave him
"pwnra iitart in life. Very few,
however, have any recollection of Stan
ley, the famous traveler in Africa.
Henry Hope Stanley, says the New Or
leans Post-Diripatuh, was born in Eng
land in 1815. He came of good family
and was hiyhly educated. He had
a brother who was killed by a. fall from
a carriage during the war. After his
father's death, which occurred early in
Stanley's life, his mother married an
Episcopal minister. She is said to be
still living and her son by frfc second
marriage inherited Stanley's fortune.
The young Englishman was of indo.
pendent mind, and determined to carve
his own way to success. Accordingly
he came to America about 1837, first
landing in Charleston, S. C. There the
young man heard of tho great west and
made his way to Texas. He found a
wife in the Lone Star state, but little
in the way of fortune, and the couple
determined to remove to the southern
metropolis.
Although Stanley was twice married,
neither wife bore him children. Their
kind hearts hungered for the touch of
baby fingers, and at various times the
household adopted little orphans and
bestowed as much love and care upon
them as if of their own blood. Strange
to say, none of these fatherless ones re
mained to comfort tlo closing years ol
their benp'-?"r's life.

world against his foster-father's will
and was never forgiven, while Annie,
who shared the home with the explorer
Is said to have eloped with the coach
man. ;
About this time Stanley made the ac
quaintance of an individual known as
"Cedar" Smith on account of his busi
ness, which consisted in exporting
Louisiana cedar. About 1843 they took
a trip up Bed river on a cedar purchas
ing expedition, intending to Bhio s
large cargo to England. They were
gone some time. Facilities for mat
communication were neither rapid noi
plentiful in those days. Stanley hearc
little of affairs at home. He returnee
to New Orleans to find his wife haii
taken sick and died during his absenc
from home. Soon afterward he mar
ried Miss Miller, an Englishwoman.
He then changed his business, becom
ing cotton weigher for the firm ol
Payne, Dameron & Co., the predeces
sors of Payne, Kennedy & Co.; later he
obtained employment with Wright,
Williams & Co., in the same capacity.
He made a good deal of money in the
days when there were fortunes in the
cotton-press business. When the war
broke out he took no part in the con
flict, but with his wife went over t
England to revisit the scenes of hit
youth. He left his dwelling, facing
Annunciation square, in charge of Mrs.
Stanley's sister, Mrs. Walter Nicholl,
who occupied it with her husband dur
ing the absence of the Stanleys. When
Gen. Benjamin Butler mado his head
quarters in New Oilcans he ordered the
seizure of the house and the Commer
cial press, putting his soldiers in the
latter. .
Mr. Stanley's friends took advantage
of his British birth and foreign resi
dence to appeal to the English consul.
The latter promptly sent word to But
ler to release the property within twenty-four
hours. The orders were obeyed
and the soldiers marched out and
camped in Terrell's press across the
street. As soon as the war ended
Stanley and his wife returned. Stan
ley resumed the cotton-press business,
but was not as successful as in the ante
bellum days. In 1870 he sold the Com
mercial press to Lehnan & Abraham
and bought the Liverpool press, which
he conducted until his death, although
he left the management principally tc
James Randolph and George Johnson.
In 187S he went up to a plantation tc
look after tho crops, in which he was
interested, suddenly became ill and in
twenty-four hours was dead. His sec
ond wife preceded him to the land oi
rest. Mr. Stanley was a member 01
