How the Section Boss Got ths Tsol House In the Right Spot. Not so very long ugo a soprano who Lad been engaged to sing at one of the largest houses on Fifth avenue, with her maid, was ushered luto the room reserved for the artists, She was slow in removing her wraps and concluded after she was part of the way out of them thut it was time for the hostess to welcome her. So she told her maid to put them on again after she hail Inquired of one of tlie servants. where the lady was When he saw the preparations for de parture he rushed In haste to the hostess. She had been detained at the dinner table, as II dinner of very elaborate character was preceding the muslcul. It was difficult for her to leave her guests. Klie reached the hall, however. Just as tlie singer's ample form was disappearing through the portiere. "Ah, Mrs. Smith,” the singer said "Then I inn in tlie right house? I was going out to tell my coachman we bad made a mistake, else you would have been nt the door to meet me." The hostess looked as if she would like to speed her flight Into the open, but her guests were soon to arrive, and she did not dare risk offending the star attraction at her biggest party of the season. Some of the singers make It a condi I tion that no other woman shall be en gaged and no musicians of any kind without consulting them. A young hostess sent ont cards to invite her friends to hear a great prlma donna sing. Afterward she beard from her friends of all kinds of wonderful per formers that she might also have en gaged. As the money question played no part tn her plans the young woman began to engage them. By the time the night of the party arrived she had. In addition to the soprano, a band of choir boys who would look beautiful marching down her marble stairway, a band of Venetian gondoliers who would t>e charming at the entrance to the music room caroling “Snnta Lu cia,” a baritone who sang beautiful love songs In excellent French and a voice as soft as pomade, a girl who could pound the piano with the l>est of the men players and a quartet that played antique music on near antique Instruments. The prlina donna arrived and lieheld In the artists’ room this job lot of tini- steal entertainers, The hostess hur- rled In to greet her. "But surely,” the prima donna said, “you don't need me when you have so much for j'our guests?” The singer was In earnest. She was perfectly willing to go home nnd lose her $3,000 fee rather than lie part of such a musical vaudeville as the Inex perienced hostess had planned. Out of gratitude liecause she consented to re main to make the party a success, the young matron sent the prlma donna n diamond bracelet the next day.—New York Sun. About ten years before the Eastprn nllroad was leased by the Boston and Maine that portion of the old road be- | tween Swampscott and Salem was In charge of Section Foreman Timothy Moynaban. Ills strongest point was In doing ! just as he was told and doing that . with energy and accuracy. So when he was notified from Beverly by Road master Stevens that the section lengths were to be changed and that he was to move his tool house from the westerly | end of Salem yard to halfway between ( mileposts 15 and 16 he started out with the determination to move the house halfway, no more, no less. To get this halfway point he ata- j tinned one of his men at milepost 15 and another at milepost 16, and at a signal they started to walk toward each other until they met, and to a point opposite their meeting place the shanty was moved. This method of getting the correct distance did not quite suit Moynahan, especially when he remembered that one of the walk ers was taller than the other and the other tripped several times on the way down. He carried this In his mind for near ly a year, when he met the engineers measuring through for signals and asked them to tell him as they meas ured if his house was just halfway or not. When the measurement was taken, the house was found to be sixty feet nearer milepost 16 than 15, and Moyna han, on being told, remarked that he thought be could fix things just right. Later In the year the engineer met Moynahan iu Salem and asked him If his tool house was now halfway be tween the mileposts. "It is,” he replied. “It's just half way." “Did you have much trouble moving it?" “No trouble at all. I Just let It stay as it was and moved the milepost.”— Boston Herald. Th. Spl«*n. Tlie spleen? Up to 1900 no physician dared to stand up In a clinic and tell what It was made for. For ages It was supposed to be the organ of Irasci bility. “Ob, bls spleen Is up!” meant that the old man was hot in the collar. Curious thing, that spleen. There is a herb called “spleenwort," which was supiH>sed to remove such splenetic dis orders as III humor, melancholy and ir ritability. 1 saw a spleen the other day for the first time and was astound ed. It was a soft, highly vascular, plum colored thing with a smooth sur face. It was nearly six Inches tn length and weighed seven ounces. Now here Is the funny feature of the spleen: After n hearty meal it Is very much smaller than at other times, which may help to explain why a man Is good natured after dinner. In diseased conditions the spleen may reach a weight of eighteen or twenty pounds. — New York Tress. i A LOAN REPAID. Th. Fourth Earl Stanhope and Gentlemanly Highwayman. the The fourth Earl Stanhope when on his way homeward late one dark night was held up by the most gentle manly of highwaymen, who preferred his request for money or the noble man's life in quite the nicest way. It happened that Lord Stanhope had not any money with him and was disin clined to yield the alternative. “Your watch, then," suggested the gentleman at the opposite end of the pistol. That watch, the earl explained, was dear to him. He valued it at 100 guineas and would not surrender It. “What I will do,” he said, "Is to bring and deposit in this tree the worth of the watch in money, and you can call and get it tomorrow night.” "Done, m’ lord," said the highway man. The law knew nothing about this ar rangement. and the earl did as he had promised. He placed the 100 guineas where the highwayman might at his leisure collect It. And there, so far as he knew, the matter ended. Years afterward he attended a great banquet In the city and found himself pleasantly entertained by an extremely well known man whose signature was good for a sum In several figures. Next day came to Ixird Stanhope a letter In closing the sum of 100 guineas. Ac companying it was a note begging his acceptance of a loan granted some years previously to the man who now forwarded It. That loan, said the letter, had ena bled the sender to gain a new start In life, to make a fortune and to renew acquaintance at dinner on the previous night with his lordship. The city mag nate and the highwayman of earlier days were one and the same.—London Standard. Melinda Had to Go. Diamonds In Hi. Shoes. One of the old governors of the Car olinas was a man who had li ved a farmer's life most of the time until he was elected, and his wife, having nev er seen a steamboat or a railroad and having no wish to test either one, re fused to accompany her busband to the capital. When the governor reach ed his destination, he found that al most all the other officials were ac companied by their wives, and he sent an Imperative message to bls brother to "fetch Melinda along ” The brother telegraphed. "She's afraid even to look at the engine. The governor read the message and pondered over It for a few moments. At the end of that time he sent otT the following command: "Bill, you blindfold Melinda and back her on to the train." Diamond ornaments In shoes hark back to the days of the Revolutionary war and were worn by merchants of Boston In those days. Thomas Russell of Charlestown, who died In 1796. was one of the most active of business men of bis day In Boston and the first to engage in the American trade with Russia after the Revolution. His dress was typical of his time and Is thus described In an old print: "He usually wore a coat of some light colored cloth, small clothes, diamond buckles at the knees and In the shoes, silk stockings, powdered hair and a cocked hat and In cold weather a scarlet cloak."- Boston Herald.
