"Then I inn in tlie right house? I was

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

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

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.

The singer was In earnest. She was

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.”—

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. —

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
