' “TVe must have J immy,” said the l small boy who was to give the party. “Who's Jimmy '3” asked his mother. I “IVhy, he's a fellow at school! His fa- l ther's janitor over on Forty-seventh street." . The mother gasped under the cold douche of democracy, but put Jimmy's name at the head of the list and wrote the names of the swell little boys her boy i l'iew afterward. “hen the party came off, she met J im- He had a. shrew played toward Jimmy. \V'here he was there was the crowd. He was not arrogant, but he evidently accepted the homage as his due, and be d the air of easy superiority that a boss politician shows to his faithful henchmen. He patronized the youthful heir of the millionaire steel man and con- descendcd to the cerulean blooded scion of the ancient Knickerbockers. They didn‘t resent it. They were humbly grate- ful and eluted at being noticed at all. The hostess tried to solve the problem by sounding a little boy whom she cap- tured and held, a restless but polite cap- tive. “Is Jimmy a great fighter?" she asked cannily. “Oh, he’s fair! Dick Wilson can lick fits out of him.” She gasped. Evidently her theory was wrong. “Does he play football or baseball?" “Don't play football, and he’s a dufier at baseball.” The butler appeared at the door and looked appealingly at her. She abandon- ed her Sherlock Holmes tactics and went to decide whether the mountain of cake was high enough and the sea of ice cream broad enough for a crowd of boys. Later she found the clew for which she had been looking. The boys were tired and very, very full of good things. Active exertion was not to be thought of until digestion had a fair start. The young host appealed to his mother. an Indian story about when auch. momma.” Then he , e in his voice. I “Maybe if you do fire stories.” “‘What does Jimmy know about fires 1’" ‘ All the boy faces looked incredulous. scorziful. Surely she couldn’t be so igno- I rant as she seemed. “Know about fires!" echoed the chorus. “\Yhy. he’s mascot at the engine house!" Jimmy looked nonchalantly at the chandelier. He was used to fame. Still ; ' prairies. He then takes up the question he was not beyond feeling proud when his glory was sprung upon a new admirer. A SAMPLE DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT OF A ROAD. Claim Hi Executive Abilityâ€"The Half Hour railroad president one bus :1 better con- ception of the magnitude of the Chinese treatise on all things. The president turned from a trip to c has attended a con- f sidents of allied lines. He has been on the road all night; but, thanks to that businesslike institution, the private car, often erroneously consid. cred a luxury, he appears in his office fresher for work than the suburbanite who has just come in on the commuter’s train. \Vhile the president is looking ever his personal mail word spreads about the big building that “the old man is back." Gradually the private secre- taries of the different chiefs drop into I the outer office to learn from the presi- dent‘s private secretary what business is most likely to come up first chance there is for action on some pet measure. The bell rings, and for a few minutes the private secretary is closeted with the president. Daily telegraphic re- ports have kept the president informed of events on the line, but in n surpris- ingly brief time he learns of smaller hap- penings, of messages left by prominent callers and of the general behavior of his child, the railroad. , Then the president sends for his chief assistant, the general manager, and learns officially some of the things the private secretary has told him as gossip and many others of greater moment, but per- haps of less real interest. The half hour with the general manager may mean de- cisions involving the expenditure of hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. It may mean happiness or anxiety to hundreds of homes. For example, it may be decided to Beersheba. employees. a breakin perhaps disappointment to engaged lov- ers. Again. it may be decided to extend the Utopia branch, which means a for- tune to investors in land beyond Utopia and ruin to some in the old terminus. The president may tell the general man- ager that the demand for a dividend on the preferred stock is becoming more clamorous and that they must get along another year without the 5,000 new box cars that are badly needed and the build- ing of which would affect many idle men. The president very likely calls the atten- tion of the general manager to the au- ditor’s estimate of last week’s earnings and asks why expenses cannot be reduced just a little more. The president reminds the general man- ager that the contract for hauling Chicago dressed beef is conditional upon a second morning delivery at the seaboard two hours earlier than that previously given by a rival line. He also observes that the reliability and regularity of the passenger trains is helping the western tourist busi- ness, that the delay to the hotel men’s special by a freight wreck last week will hurt the winter travel to California and that the new dining car must be made to pay expenses. He asks why the ton mile cost of moving freight has not decreased in proportion to the recent outlay for big engines. He ventures the opinion that the su- perintendexft of the Slowburg division must have been asleep while the city ' ed an ordinance requiring the company to erect ten more electric lights at street crossings. He ex- presses polite astonishment nt the failure of the passenger department to book the headquarters train for the next Grand Army encampment; He makes no atâ€" tempt nt concealing his disgust over a competitor securing ten trainloads of agricultural machinery for the western of a larger terminal charge for switching “I don't think I understand,” faltered 3 cars to connecting lines and suggests to the hostess, much impressed. “W but do i the general manager that the revenue you do, Jimmy?” would be increased by more favorable “Oh. I just go to all the fires,” said l terms in the next contract with other luck. “You see," he explained, “I’m at the engine house most all the time, and I know all the men awful well. I’ve been staying over there ever since I was a little shaver. I always liked fires.” The boys’ faces said that they all liked fires. but few were, like J immy, favored of the gods. “The men kind of took a shine to me, I guess. They used to scold about hav- ing a kid around underfoot at first, but I got so as I didn’t get under their feet, and Billyâ€"that’s the bulldogâ€"liked me, and I was awful good friends with the ho Bimeby the men got to jollying me an asking me to do things for them, and I did any old thing. “And then they used to tell stories, and I lik ° sort of tickled them, about the engines and didn’t forget any- thing they told me and went to all the fires within running distance. Then I got my bicycle and kept it around at the engine house. The minute a call came ; in I’d jump on my wheel and go lickety split to the place. Sometimes they let me go on the cart now, and when they’re . cise I ride with' the ; than ’most anybody. You’d ought to see him go through a crowd. He got upset once. I was racing right along beside him on my wheel, and I thought every- thing was coming on top of me, but it didn’t. ' “I've seen lots of people killed jump- ing out of windows and such fool things. You'd ought to see Danâ€"Dan’s my best friend. He’s the fireman that owns the bulldog. You’d ought to see him going up the side'of a building with a scaling ladder. and carrying women and kids down. He don't care w fire. He says to me: 1‘ ‘Kid, some day I’ll be a fricasseed Irishman, but I’m going to have a hot time while I can.’ ” . The boys were all listening breathless. Iy. They had heard it all before, but to be on familiar conversational terms with a fireman, to have a niche in an engine house, to ride on a. hose cartâ€"could life hold bliss greater than that? Dick. the fighter, bent his proud bead. Tom Miller, the football captain. took a back seat. They «recognized their su- perior. By the unwritten laws of the kingdom of boyhood Jimmy was king of the/gang. -â€"Mi11 Woodâ€"Prompt delivery by the ‘Rathbun (taâ€"30, roads. The patient and loyal general manager, who has taken all this in the Pickwickian sense in which it was intended, now has his turn. From the bundle of papers un- der his arm he draws a condensed esti- borate plan for reducing t of transportation on a certain division by running around a bluff and , locating freight yards near a busy river ‘ instead of climbing into the town. The trained eye of the president catches the salient points, and he tells the general manager whether or not funds are likely to be available, whether or not it is polio tic to antagonize municipal or other in- terests. The general manager diplomatically shows the president that the New Or- leans cotton trafiic is suflering because of the president’s order to consider all Minneota flour as rush freight. He asks I authority to increase the pay of a. super- ‘ intendent who has a. better ofier from another road. From the bundle of con. densed reports he shows a saving of 100 l tons of coal ‘the previous week by rea- l son of better fuel furnished from the new . mines. He tells of a new gasolene en- ’ gine at Pumptown which will cut in two- the monthly bills for water supply for locomotives. He reports a conference with the mayor of a big city about the ‘ smoke nuisance near the freight yards. He suggests that it would be well for the passenger department to stop promis- ing dollar excursionists a two hour sched- ule for a hard three hour run. He urges I conciliatory measures toward the city ' council of Bucktown, which will repeal the” speed ordinance as soon as the old . ,morning accommodation train is restored. and “No. 6” (the St. Louis express) can ltben get through the town on time.

The tin peddler was en institution. He had a route which he traveled year in and year out. Many a tin peddler came to be personally known and respected by the people with whom he traded, to whom he was not the ped- dler or the tin peddler, but Mr. So-nnd- so, and they use to wait for Mr. Sound- so to come around and dispose of their rugs to him. “These rags were carefully sorted out. There were the rather small but valuable lot of white rags tied up in a white cloth and the bigger bundle of colored rags and one perhaps of woolen rags which'the peddler weighed severally on the steel- yards that he brought in for that purâ€" pose. How many times have I seen him, staid man of family. as I now realize him, and perhaps in spectacles, shifting the weight along on the beam until rags and weight balanced. and he made the an- nouncemcnt ot‘ the weight, which was almost invariably disappointingly small. “He would pay cash, but he preferred that you should take it out in trade, and commonly the housewife did so. Many a dishpan and many a dipper and skim- mer and I don't know how many hand- some Britannia teapots and what else have come through the tin peddler out of the rag bag. “But now the tin peddlerâ€"that peddler who drove a horse to a peddler’s wdgonâ€"has receded from these smaller cities as previously he had reced- ed from the larger ones. He has moved on out into the country. over whose billy, dusty roads he still pursues his way to the farmhouse door, where he dickers as before. But even there made up gar- ments go no.. to greater or less extent, and for the rags that do accumulate the modern low prices govern. And so, here as everywhere. the family rag bag, once everywhere looked upon as a little mine of wealth, has fallen from its high es- tate.” _____________.â€"-â€"â€"â€"- COFFEE GRAINS.

The coffee plant is indigenous to Asia and Africa, but the greater part of the world's product now comes from the western hemisphere. Most of our coffee comes from South and Central American countries. The rest comes from Porto Rico, Java and the Philippines. with a little from Hawaii. The use of coffee as a beverage began in southern Arabia in the latter half of the fifteenth century. It was introduced into Constantinople in 155-1 and into Venice in 1615. ___â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"_ Kept Bis Umbrella. The commscr Panseron. while driving homeward in his cab during a terrific shower, met the aged composer Cheru- bini plodding along on foot, protected from the storm only by a shabby old um- brella full of holes. Panseron took com- passion on the old gentleman and begged him to make use of the cab. saying that he himself would walk home. Cheru- bini accepted and took the other’s place in the cab. Then Panseron naturally asked the old gentleman for the loan of his umbrella. "Oh, no, my dear boy!” saidCheruo bini. “It is a well known fact that a man never again sets eyes on an um- brella that he has lent." And he drove off in Panseron’s cab. . M Animal Minion. Observers of nature are frequently struck with the singular resemblances of insects to leaves, dried sticks, - and so forth. and these likenesses are supposed to have'grown out of the necessity of pro. tection against or concealment from ene- mies.
