It is not often that the lowly sandwich is the hinge on which a man’s career turns. Many persons look upon a sand- wich with scorn, and regard it as a con- temptible thing unworthy of intelligent consideration. The class of persons who take this view, shuffled around in the world much. Their lives have run in grooves where- To jump hast- have not been in no side chutes exist. ily and eagerly from a train, plunge madly into the lunch counter room, pay ten cents for a ham sandwich, and hurriedly devour it without criticising the quality of the mustard is a luxury unknown to them. The sandwich gamut is a long one. Sardines, cheese, butter, sausage, mus— tard, for the common, everyday sand- wich, up to chicken, turkey, game, roe, tongue, dev1led crab, and almost any. delicacy is utilized in making a sandwich. .But the total absence of sandwich of any kind is some times the forerunner of a catastrophe. Only two days ago, the non-appearance of a sandwich landed an unfortunate in the station-house, and it is highly probable that the man’s business may be serious- ly injured, if not destroyed. A Mr. \Villiam Schati keeps a Raincs law hotel in New York, and under that system it. is necessary on Sunday, to ask for something to eat in order to obtain something to drink. Orly a few Sun- .days ago, two policemen, donned knick- erbockers, scattered dust abundantly over their clothes, mounted bicycles, and rode up to Sehaff's place, where they told of the hard ride they had had from Yonkers. They dwelt feelingly On their hot and tired condition, and and particularly the extent of their suf- ferings irom thirst. Mr. SChafi was so wrought up by their tale, that he took them to a back room and sold each of them a glass ,of beer. Then, as no sandwich had been Ordered, the police- men exhibited their badges, and in- forming Mr.Schalf that he was arrested, and took him to the station. Now, with all due commendation for the zeal of these policemen, there 'can be no doubt that they played a low down trick'on Schaff. He responded to their supposed condition——hot, tired, thirSty,,covered with dust. How was he to know theyWere setting a trap for him? In the kindness of his heart, he He could, not be expected to give it away, No wonder he‘nearly sold them each a glass of beer. and so he sold it. had a f’twhen the badges were displayed. He would have been excusable had he really had one. It is possible the police- men were within the strict line of duty, but what a-duty it is that necessitates making a man’s sympathies and kind- ness the means of his destruction! Had Schafi been hard-hearted and cold- blooded, he would not have fallen into the pitfallprepared for him. His judg- ' ment was obscured by his tender feel- ings. otherwise the omission of sand- wiches would have put him on his guard at once. After a hard ride from You- kers the riders would have been hun- gry as well as dry, and would have called for sandwiches as surely as for beer; and the fact of sandwiches not being mentioned should have aroused suspicion. But Schalf did not stop to think of this. the thirsty riders, and- his own beer- His heart went out to moistened throat appealed powerfully for the dry and dust-lined threats of the wheelmen. So beer went and sand- wiches stayed—stayed to the discomfit- are of Schaff. When he gets out and pays his fine and resumes the hotel business, if he is allowed to do so, no thirsty riders, or walkers,-0r crawlers, Or anything else that can talk, will get Sunday beer from Mr. Schafl' unless , they take a sandwich along with it. The applicant will have t) be hungry before he can He is going to have a miniature sandwich convince Schaff that he is thirsty. made by a jeweler to wear as a watch- guard and sandwich buttons for his Sunday coat, so that he cannot forget himself again, and the ,man who asks for beer Sunday, and refuses a sand- wich, will be hit with a club. A LUMINOUS LIFEJLINE. OI Sufficient Luminosity to be Visible for . A Long Distance. In spite of the magnificent work of the Life Saving Corps of the Govern- ment, and regardless "of the apparatus for the rendering of aid to the ship- wrecked which is at their cemmand, many a life has been lost by the ina- bility of the persons who are clinging to a wreck to see the line shot at them from the shore, or. if it reaches the rigging to tell just Where it might be seized upon. As, in such cases, min- utes mean lives, the inability to see and grasp the lifeline without the de- lay of a second, has lessened the pop- ulation of the earth" by several in many, many instances. The idea evolved is to provide a life- line which emits a phosphorescent light of sufficient luminosity to be vis- ible for a long distance immediately it leaves the mortar’s mouth and is shot through the gale and across the waves to the wreck. In the past if it hap- pened to be daylight when the life-sav- ers were at work, they could by means of their glasses tell whether or not they had landed a lifeline aboard the wreck. It unfortunately happens, though, that the majority of wrecks occur at night, and, therefore, a lu— minous lifeline becomes an invention of the first importance. By its use the life-savers can tell exactly what has happened to the line. There need be no more uncertainty. It is estimated that the luminous line will be visible with as much distinct- ness as if the light were emitted from a 5(3-candle power electric bulb. In- thnt way, unless the storm were too dense, the line would be visible its en- tire length from shore to wreck, and ‘the watchers on the beach could tell just what progress toward safety was being made by those Whose lives they were trying to save—Austin States~ man. Johnny Wasn’t Quite Up On America. The teachers in the kindergarten find a perpetual fund of amusement in the funny little people committed to their charge. One of them—one of the teachers—is responsible for this story of a mite of a lad, who possesses a high. shrill voice, and uses it on every possible occasion. She had been teach- ing the class to sing “America,” a slow and somewhat painful operation. Over the verse. “Land where our fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride,” she labored long and earnestly, and when at last they seemed famil- iar with the words—they picked up the air amazingly quick—her attention was' particularly drawn to the shrill~voiced youngster just mentioned. He was certainly introducing a variation on the text. but just what it was she couldn’t make out. High rose the thin voice above the chorus, the little fel- lew singing with the utmost confidence something which certainly wasn’t in the original version. “New, scholars,” said the teacher, “we’ll all stop and let Johnnie sing his verse alone, Johnnie is such a nice singer. Now, Johnnie.” So Johnnie, with an amazing grin, lifted up his razor-edged soprano af- ter this fashion: Land where ow fazers dies, Land of the pills and pies. And it took J ohnnle a great deal lon- ger to unlearn this extraordinary com- bination of nonsense than it did for him to pick up the entire song origi- nally—Detroit Free Press. He Took Them at'Their Word. S. Willard gives an idea of Eng- :ish humor in the following: Two -ocl-.neys passing a burning house saw I man sitting in an upper window reading a book, apparently oblivious of all danger. They yelled to him to jump several times, but he paid no at- cution. With a final effort one of the cock- 193's shouted: “Jump! Me and me pal will catch you in our blanket!” “You see,” he said later to a friend, ‘ihe joke was that we ’adn’t no blanket 2:: all, and the bloomin’ guy jumped md broke ’is blessed neck.” Another of Dockstader’s stories is ap- ropos of the Moody revival. A small Joy was questioned by the preacher, who asked, “Who made you?” "That’s what ma and pa have a lot 3f scrapping about,” was the unex- pected reply. 1" AL. Joke-s Spoiled in Telling, Many instances have been recorded of 110w jokes are spoiled in the telling. The latest to come under my observa- tion is that of the efiort to frighten an Irishman who boasted of his fearless- uess. Friends persuaded him to enter a graveyard at midnight, and arranged matters so that he fell into a newly made grave. At the same instant one )f the conspirators, wrapped in a sheet, ‘ppeared from behind a tombstone and nquircd, in a sepulchral tone of voice: “What are you doing in my grave?” “What are ye doin’ out of it?” was he quick retort. This antiquated tale was retold me “e other day by an acquaintance, who rminzited it in this fashion: ‘ ‘Jus: as the Irishman entered the veyird, one of his friends, wrapped a sheet, stood before him. ‘What * ye doin’ here?” askcd Pat, I"..‘\Vl"ie shed by the sudden apparuion.” Jet he expected me to laugh.

People often write to Queen Victoria asking her to lend small sums, and promising to repay her in instalments. Sometimes they write saying they are unable to pay taxes, and trusting that' she will allow the account to stand over a bit. The presents the Queen re- ceives by post form a curious collec- tion. They are invariably returned. Poets send her poems; tradesmen specimens of their wares; ladies, mit- tens, stockings and other articles of attire worked by themselves.
