Testing Her Speed
t - t
A Typewriter Girl Who Declined to $
Be Caught In a Trap.
Mr. Truelove wab a fluent dk-tatur and
was proud of it. It was pratif yinc to his
self esteem to ivatcli the frantic struggles
of his lady stenographer to record the
steady flow of liis eloquence, and when,
cs often happened, she was obliged to in
terrupt and bej; him to moderate his
speed he would comply with an air of
patronizing condescension.
But in the course of time this young
lady lefj the oilk-e, and another and a
smarter operator supplied her place. This
was a self possessed and somewhat
haughty damsel, and Mr. Truelove found
to his anuoyanco that, so far from being
Hurried and confused by the readiness of
his diction, she tool: his letters with a
bored, indifferent air and whenever he
paused or hesitated would glance up with
an inquiring, almost impatient look.
All this was. of course, very wounding
to Mr. Truelove's vanity. One day, in
the privacy of his own room, he remark
ed to his confidential clerk:
"There's a letter from those people
down nt Southend. I intend writing
them a good lour letter showing clearly
that they hnve no cinim upon us. It will
have to be very carefully worded, and I
wanted to consult you about it. In fact,
I think it would not le a bad idea for
you to write it down briefly from my dic
tation. I shall have to be very careful
with my facts, and I need your assist
ance." Now. the room which Miss Carter, the
young iady under discussion, occupied
had formerly been part of Mr. True
love's room and was separated from it
only by a thin partition. Miss Carter
had nimble ears as well as nimble fingers.
"Then," Mr. Truelove went on, "when
we have got it satisfactorily arranged, I
can use your uotcs to test Miss Carter's
speed and see if she is really worth the
excellent salary which I pay her.
Indeed! said Miss Carter to herself.
And she took her notebook and pencil
and stationed herself against the thin
dividing wall.
The letter completed and other busi
ness matters discussed, Mr. Truelove en
tered Miss Carter's room with his usual
air of importance to dictate his ietters.
Mr. Noble also strolled into the room, os
tensibly for the purpose of speaking with
his employer about, some trivial matter,
but in reality to witness the humiliation
of the young woman who was cheeky
enough to earn a salary nearly equal to
his own.
Mr. Truelove started by giving out a
few letters at his usual rate of speed.
Then he pulled out his watch.
"By George," he said, "it's later than
I thought! I have one more letter for you,
Miss Carter a long oue and I want
you to take it down as quickly as you
can, please, as I am pressed for time."
And he straightway started off with a
speed of utterance which it would have
taxed the powers of even a first rate re
porter to follow. Miss Carter, however,
sat at her table in the most careless atti
tude she could assume, tracing the out
lines with one hand and with the other
idly playing with a paper weight, and
even occasionally glancing out of the win
dow to see it it had stopped raining.
Mr. Truelove was puzzled, not to say
annoyed.
"Am I going too fast for you?" he ask
ed presently. "Sure you're getting It
down all right?"
Miss Carter raised her eyebrows with
an air of mild surprise.
"Oh, dear, yes, Jlr. Truelove," she re
plied. "I can go much quicker than that
if you like. In fact, I should prefer it-' I
find I am getting out of practice in rapid
writing."
With an incredulous snort Mr. True
love uraced himself up for a fresh effort.
Still she sat unmoved and" composed.
Mr. Xoble could scarcely believe his
own eyes and ears. He grew quite excit
ed and, going over to Miss Carter and
leaning over her chair, watched with ab
sorbing interest the wriggling, scriggling
forms as they flowed rapidly yet smooth
ly and easily from her pen.
Had he understood stenography he
might have noticed that only about one
word in six was being recorded, but as he
did not all he could do was to look on and
wonder. At length Mr. Truelove stop
ped, quite out of breath.
"Miss Carter," he said, fixing her
sternly with his eye. "I hope yon can
transcribe your notes. It's a most impor
tant letter, you know. One incorrect
word might spoil the whole thing."
"Oh, yes; I fully understand that," re
plied Miss Carter, with a half smile.
"You will excuse my saying it, Mr. True
love, but I wish you would always dic
tate at that rate. It exercises my fin
gers, you know."
Mr. Truelove felt himself beaten. In
deed, his feeling of annoyance now began
to give place to one of pride in having se
cured the services of such a marvelous
young woman.
Not so Mr. Noble. He still clung des
perately to the idea that perhaps after all
Miss Carter had made a hopeless muddle
of it in her determination not to own her
self beaten.
"I would suggest, if you have time,
sir," he said, with assumed carelessness,
"that it might be well for Miss Carter
just to read over the letter as it stands.
It is possible that some amendment
might suggest itself to some of us."
Without any of the hesitation and con
fusion which they expected she took her
book and turned back right back to the
neatly and accurately written notes she
had taken before they came into the
room. Then quickly but clearly and dis
tinctly and with all due regard to punctu
ation and accentuation she read off the
letter from beginning to .end without one
slip or stumble.
"That will do," said Mr. Truelove, and
he put -on his hat and went out, while
Mr. Noble returned to his desk crestfall
en and bewildered.
"I don't think they will ' want to test
mc again just yet," thought Miss Carter
as she sat down to her typewriter. Lon

HIS HOW6

Where He Had Resided In
.j, the Morning.

VTien Pete kissed his wife good by in
the morning, his little frame house rested
on rollers. The house mover's gang was
hitching clanking chains to tho heavy
square timbers, and the brown horse,
with a dejected droop to his long head,
was ready to circle around the capstan
and haul Pete's cottage into the street.
"Don't you worry a bit, Slary," said
Pete as he picked up his dinner pail.
"The house mover told me that not an
inch of placer would fall. So long. I'll
pick you up six" blocks south tonight."
"Sure thiug," replied the house mover
to Pete's inquiry. "This is a dead easy
job. You'll find your house in the middle
of the street six blocks down there to
night and your wife and kids all O. K."
Pete was an iron molder, and the foun
dry where he worked was a good hour's
walk from home. lie went to his bench
in a cheerful mood. The elevated rail
road company had paid him a good, stiff
price for his lot and had offered to move
his uonf free of expense to him. Pefe
took the money and bought a lot cheap in
a new street, half a mile nearer the foun
dry, two blocks from a school and with a
chin oh just around the copier. Takjng
it all in nil, Pete considered he had
made a good bargain.
During the day Pete's thoughts were
on the little white cottage, with its clean
muslin sash curtains and light green
shutters, slowly traveling down the
street. He could almost see Mary anx
iously noting progress through the win
dows, and the children, wild with the
novelty, racing ami tearing around.
Every molder on the lloor knew that
Pete's house was on the move. They
discussed the matter while grouped
around the cupola waiting for the iron to
ran. They were full of suggestions, ami
Pete received the benefit of the concen
trated advice of 50 sympathetic men.
The foreman once had passed through
the house moving experience, and as he
was the foreman and as his house was a.
two story brick his advice was regarded
as weighty and his suggestions treasured
as words of great value.
After Pete had filled and emptied his
ladle a dozen times and had washed up
he started merrily to find his home.
When he arrived at the corner where he
expected to meet his cottage, none ap
peared. Pete looked north and south
through the dusk, but as far as he could
see the street was clear. A policeman
happened along.
"Say, officer," exclaimed Pete, "have
you seen a one story white frame cottage
go by here today?"
The policeman stared at Pete for a sec
ond, then replied gruffly, "What 'er you
givin ineV"
"That's straight." said Pete, with ener
gy. "They're moving my house. It ought
to be here, but it ain't."
The pojiccman grew sympathetic at
once. "I've seen no house movin, but
there's some red lights over there two
blocks. Mobbe it's your house."
Pete hurried for the red lights. It was
a house perched on rollers in the middle
of the street, but it was not his bouse.
He clambered over timbers, chains and
skids to the front door, for the steps ha1
been amputated.
A woman with a hand lamp answered
the knock.
"Have you seeu a one story fi-ame cot
tage, white, with green shutters, and a
little woman with brown hair go by this
way today V" asked Pete hurriedly.
The woman shook her head.
"Xo," said she. "We're movin too. My
man hasn't got home yet either. Maybe
he's hunting for me too." and she giggled
hysterically.
Pete gave her uo comfort, but spraug
to the ground. Near the house was a
grocery, and there Peter inquired for his
house. No oue had seen it.
"Pshaw!" said Pete. "It's a light house,
and those house movers have got it in on
the lot."
He almost ran to the new site and
found it vacant. He had spent an hour
searching for the white cottage and Ma
ry. He had asked 50 persons if they had
seen a white, one story cottage ou a tour,
and now he seated himself on the edge of
the sidewalk in front of the new lot he
had bought and tried to pull himself to
gether. He could not understand it. He
could think of no other path over which
the house might travel.
Suddenly a new idea struck him. "The
fire department has made them pull the
house into a vacant lot so as not to block
the street. I'll start from the beginning,
and if I don't find it tonight I'll sleep in
the woodshed. They haven't moved that
anyway. Only Mary will be worried."
In a quarter of an hour he was on the
old familiar sidewalk. As he hurried
along he closely examined every house ou
both sides of the street. Absorbed in this,
he forgot his whereabouts, and he choked
and gulped in surprise when he suddenly
looked into t.ie windows of his own white
cottage and saw Mary with her nose flat
tened against the glass watching for him.
The house had not been moved a foot.
"Something broke," explained Mary,
helping Pete to a heaping plateful of liv
er and bacon, "nnd the man will be back
tomorrow." Exchange.
1 1 1 MR I
The judge and the colonel were drink
ing their midnight bottle of beer and
complaining r.bont the heat.
Old Man Haner, however, seemed .o
be suffering from a chill. lie had a
heavy, double breasted reefer buttoned
tightly nromvj-hiin and an old fur cap on
his head head.-
"Whnt's the matter, HanerV" asued
the judge. "Can't you keep warm?"
Now Old Man Haner had camped ou
an iceberg for three consecutive years.
He had used the equator for a skipping
rope half way round the earth. He had,
perforce, inhabited the crater of an ac
tive volcano for ten days and had sailed
through the sen of liquid air which sur
rounds the north pole.
"Weather," said Old Man Haner to
the judge, "is all a matter of habit. I
found that out when I got home from my
second whaling trip to the arctic in 3807.
Our ship, the Saucy Sally, was frozen
into an iceberg off the north coast of
Alaska. Wo left it there and started off
in whaleboats. Captnin llawius and I,
with three of the men in one of the
boats, finally lost sight of the rest of the
crew. Then we found a place where
polar beaiH and walruses were plenty,
built a hut of ice and settled down. It
was pretty middling cold. The alcohol in
our spirit lamps often froze while the
wicks were hurning. The air was so
nearly frozen and so thick that we had to
dilute it with melted snow. We lived in
the hut for nearly three years. Every
day the captain took our bearings. We
were drifting slowly around to the cast.
At half past 5 on the morning of July 5,
1800, we woke up, and there, not hnlf a
mile away,!ajr tjje Saucy 9lly, sound as
a nut. It. Bid drifted right through the
arctic' cirole from one side to the other.
If we had staid on board, we should have
discovered the north pole.
"When we got back to New York, it
was in the middle of January, but 1 was
so accustomed to the arctic cold that I
was almost overcome by the heat. In
the forties I spent eight years along the
equator, and when I got back to this
country in August, just in time to be
present at the siege of the Alamo, 1 suf
fered terribly frc-m the cold."
"What was the hottest weather jmi
ever experienced, Haner?"' asked the
judge, anxious to get back on a season
able topic.
"There was some complaint about the
heat," he said, "when we were going
through Africa after Dr. Livingstone,
and just before the sepoy revolt, while I
was serving in the English army in In
dia, the thermometer frequently touched
120 degrees. Once, in the great desert of
Africa, I saw a camel killed by a sun
stroke and found it was 130 degrees ia
the shade. On July 18, 1831, in Ecua
dor, when we were out on an expedition
after Jesuits' bark, we found a species
of birds that instead of sitting on their
eggs to hatch them are obliged to fan
them constantly with their wings in or
der to keep them from getting too hot.
The native" Indians of Ecuador depend
chiefly for food on the llamas, which
they use also as beasts of burden. The
llama is covered with thick hair, or
wool, which, iu their case, strangely
enough, protects them from the heat. One
day 1 told a native I was hungry, and 1
ivatched him while lie wont out and
shaved all the wool off one of the ani
mals. Then he tied it out in the sun for
a few minutes and directly brought' me
"in a piece of tho meat. It was so well
done, however, that I could hardly eat it.
It appears that the natives get expert in
gauging the heat of the sun, and by cut
ting off much or little of the wool can
serve either well done or rare llama
steaks at pleasure. Broiled live llama is,
in fact, the national dish of Ecuador.
"The fou'itli time I was iu Manila, in
1SS0, I noticed a rather peculiar thing,
which, I am surprised, has so far escaped
the attention of the newspaper corre
spondents. You may have seen mention
in the papers of the fact that the Taga
logs, or natives of the interior, have fine
and luxuriant heads of hair. That is
because they never cut their hair. In
stead it is singed by the sun. Almost
every native house has a hair singeing
window buiit out over the street so that
the sun's lays will not be interrupted.
Between 12 "and 1 o'clock any day you
can look up the streets of the villages in
the interior of the islands and see these
windows occupied."
"Haner," said the judge impressively,
"you evidently don't know much about
hot weather. Now, I've seen it much
.hotter than anything you hnve described
right in New York city. Before I tell
you about it perhaps you had better get
another bottle of beer out of the icebox.
I shall need it before I get through. The
difference between my story and those
you hnve been telling, Haner, is that I
have the colonel right here to testify that
I do not exaggerate anything in the
slightest. The colonel was with me on
that hottest day. We had got to New
Tork iu the morning, and nothing but the
automobiles were running, because it was
too hot for horses. About noon we went
into a basement restaurant on the east
side to get something to eat. The colo
nel ordered three eggs fried on one side,
and I wanted mine fried hard. We were
sitting uext to a swinging door that
seemed to lead out into the kitchen under
the sidewalk. The man thnt took our or
der left the door open when he went out,
and we saw just what he did. So far as
we could see there was no stove in the
kitchen. The cover of a coal hole in the
sidewalk had been lifted off, and down
through it streamed the sun. The waiter
broke three eggs ou a plate and simply
passed it once under the open coal hole.
Then he brought in the colonel's order.
Ooing back he broke three more eggs and
passed the plate twice under the hole.
That finished up ray eggs fried hard on
both sides. I had always wondered be
fore how those east side restaurants
could serve meals so cheaply. Then I
understood In the summer at least
they are under no expense for cooking."
Old Man Haner got up and stumped
away to see whether any burglars had
broken through the screen doors. As he
went he sent back a parting shot over
his shonlder.

man who sticks to facts has no time to

SEEING THE SIGHTS.
How They Killt Tnners In a Great
BIsr City.
The stranger in :i great city was be
ing tliown over the oliices of a great
publication establishment He saw the
presses and the typesetting outfit, and
then he said, with a little timidity:
"There's one thiug more I'd like to
see."
"What's that?"
"I'd like to see 'cm edit."
"Oh! Of course. I had pretty nearly
forgotten that. You know, we're so
enterprising that the editing is only a
small part of it. But we've got editors,
lots of 'etu. See that man with the
wastebasket by the side of his desk
and the stack of mail three feet high?"
"Yes."
"We've got up a discussion on kiss
ing bugs. He's the kissing bug ed
itor. The man just to his right, with
all the diamonds, gives advice to peo
ple in love. He's the wounded hearts
editor. Those portly, handsome gen
tlemen to his right, who are engaged in
ordering the ottice boys around, are
the sea serpent, how to be beautiful
and summer drinks editors. The how-not-to-eat-with-yonr-knife
editor is
away on his vacation. The is-it-right-to-hug-wuile-shooting-the-shoots
editor
Is doing his work. The when-to-put-on-your-Ilannels
editor is away on his va
cation too."
"And that unassuming man who sits
away off in a corner and. doesn't seem
to be in it?"
"Ob, he's just a managing editor or
an editor in chief or somebody I don't
know exactly what" Washington
Star.
Velveteen Kissed.
"Walking along the sidewalk In a
business street the other day," said
Mr. Gllmby, "I read on one of those
A shaped signs standing on the edge
of the walk this inscription, done In
chalk:
" 'Specla' Velveteen Kisses, 19 Cents
a Pound.'
"I didn't look up to see, but I sup
pose the sign must have been in front
of some candy store, and that velve
teen kisses are candy. I found as 1
went along thnt the sign had impressed
me agreeably. Tho idea of kisses was
good, of velveteen kisses better still
and of velveteen kisses at 19' cento a
pound best of all." New York Sun.
