A Corner in Pie.
By HARRIET CARYL COX ,
was a favorite with the boys of
the How. "ffo flies on h > r , " they declare J
uamrr.otiRly.
Prfotsion lly , Mangle "shoved pie" at the
Jewel rafe , that Is , she transferred thick
quarters of pies from their tin plitns on
tl'o iaih , across the narrow counter , Into
the on , fit retched and always dirty hands of
her rud'mnera ' , the newsboys and bootblacks (
of Pie Alley.
At first she had hern regarded with on
elcti'nt of distrust. She was dressed better
than h ( r predecessors , There was thn un-
usi nl t-'ln'y of a pink bow In her hair. '
Km h elegance had not been known urong
th'in llut she tnado no mistake In her
oxjrrn and she also Instituted two new
cjntoms , ono of adding a piece of cheese for
t't ain hours of the day when business was
dulr thn other of selling any pl < < n day old I
foi ' < crnts. Thin won the hearts of the
( me morning Magglo appeared with red
eyes I
Thne was a line of boys outsldo wilting ]
for tn. doors to open , when there would bo
nu onslaught for the few lift-over pies.
Thry trooped In as usual , but Magglo was
not an cheery as was her wont.
' She's going to leave , " Billy announced ,
oft" n moment's confab over his change.
There was a howl of dismay , and the
V-cys crowded In front of the counter.
"Ves , " she assented , hardly daring to
6uuk | lest the tears would break from their
ronlincs , "they fired mo last night. I get
through today. There's a boy going to tend.
HP il do chiaper "
There was a second voice of disapproval ,
BO vuilfcrous that the baker appeared In
tin doorway. The boja ( led. Once outsldo
thcv held an Indignation inciting.
'It nln't right that she should go , " Steve
dprlarod "She ain't v-i-ry Rtiong and she's
got a father to support , and he's most dead ,
Which sentiment was generally endorsed.
Ned Sampon , meanwhile , had gone to his
usual route In the west end , In the vicinity
of the state house and law school. Trade
was poor
lie lingered about the door of the Httln
lunch room where many of the Inw-jcrs and
representatives congregated , waiting for a
chance customer.
They passed him In groups. "Wo shall
havu to change , " ho heard one of them say.
"Tho service Is horrible and the food grow
ing poorer , especially the pies. They "
Ned pricked up his ears and started for
ward. "I'lcasc , sir ! " ho broke In.
The man Just glanced at him. "No , " ho
Bald.
Bald."I
"I don't mean papers , " Ned Insisted
sharply. "It's pies "
The declaration was so unexpected that
the man stopped and In an excltid voice the
boy began to explain. The crowd grew
larger. The governor In piling was diawu
Into the audience nnd there were smiles
on all Bides as Ned told how beautifully
Magglo "shoved the pie "
"And bho could get the same kind o'
pies she does now , and they've the best
In town , " ho Bald In conclusion of his
tale , which very visibly Impressed his hear
ers "and If you'd only got her In some
where sho'd servo > ou flnc. "
Ho looked appeallngly Into their faces.
"Wo might run n sort of syndicate affair , "
ono man ventured. " ? et her up In the
lunch business and Insist on getting served
in our own way. It might be a good
thing. "
There was n confusion of suggestions
which quite bewildered Ned. but which
finally resulted In hlB leading the way to
the Jewel cafe with two lawyers , a re
porter und ono or two representatives in
towTruth
Truth to tell , Magglo was somewhat
for small pearl ones ami the third for cloth
buttons , such as may bo used on under *
clothing , and , to distinguish one from the
other , the name of their respective con
tents can be embroidered on the outside , Just
above the design of button * .
One bag can be adopted for two kinds of
buttons by using an ellptlcal shaped base
anil making a division In the middle of the
bag , and embroidering on the otitsldo the
name of the content ! , of each side.

I'ancy a railroad with a pretty little S-
year-old girl as general manager ! The
Chicago K. Jericho railway has Just such an
olllclal To Uo sure. It Is nowhere near the
U'lndy City of Illinois , nor does It extend
In renllty to far-off Jericho , but It Is a
perfect railway sjstem for all tlmt. The
entire length of the road Is only 100 feet ,
but In Its miniature form It Is as perfect In
every detail as any In the world.
This remarkable railroad la erected In the
garden of Hev. Harry .Lancelot Wnrncford
at Windsor , Knglnnd Well known as n
successful composer of music , the reverend
gentleman adds to his other accomplish
ments that of n skillful amateur engineer.
It was ho who planned and built the Chicago
cage & Jericho railway and he IB the line
superintendent. The other members of his
family all occupy positions of trust and
responsibility
It started in this ' .va > . A friend of Mr.
Wurncford gave him n toy locomotive which
weighs about fourteen pounds when filled
with water and rtndy for starting It Is n
correct model of the locomotives used on
the Great Northern railway. Methylated
bplrlt Is put Into the tender and filters
thiough Into the lamp reservoir beneath the
boiler. At llrst he tried to run It on the
carpet , but this was unsuccessful , as the
wheels could not get a proper grip.
Later on he took up the carpet and put
down wooden rails In the room. Ne\t he
erected in his garden a "low level" sjstem
about tl\ty feet long , but found that parts
of his Hue weio from time to time ob
literated by pools of water , which Bottled In
the garden. Then the present Jerlcho-
Chlcago line was erected on a raised em-
! banktnent to n length of 100 feet.
Since Its completion the Jericho-Chicago
line has afforded pleasure not only to Mr.
Wnrncfonl's own children , but also to hun
dreds of people from all parts of the king
dom. The superintendent of the line , ns
i Mr. Warucforil Is appropriately styled , has
1 had visitors also from America , and on
three separate occasions I'rlnco Alexander
and I'rlncoss I2nn of Battenbcrg have paid
' him n visit to inspect this tiny railway.
j The "chief Inspector" of the line la Mrs.
Warncford. Miss Dorothy Warncford Is
I "general manager , " and a very attractive
I little official , too ; and Master Wnrneford ,
her younger brother , capably discharges the
duties of "under manager. "
In every way this tiny system Is perfect ,
Miys the Golden I'enny. The gauge Is two
and live-eighths Inches and there are three
stations Jericho , Crowe and Chicago All
along the line are mile posts exactly ten
feet apart , there is a tunnel gauge , cranes

and work Is dreadfur hard tn get , and she
don't want to bo helped by eliarlty. "
The bo > s looked aghast at the uuggcstlon.
"She's Just got to go somewhere else right
away , " ono of them declared. "Wo must
find her n place today. "
Thereupon an agreement was made. A
place should bo found and the entire trade
of the whole How should bo transferred to
the iilaco which should bo Rejected. This
would be nn Inducement to any proprietor.
Eo the ho > 8 scattered with their papers and
boxes , and the news spread.
Just before noon the llrst returns came In
Maggie's fai.0 glowed with happiness ns the
news was convoyed to her. Then It sud
denly fell. "Any girl there now ? " she
queried tremulousl > .
"Ves , " they said , "but the man was
ready to let her go. "
Maggie shook her head "It's just as bad
Tor her to bo fired as 'tis for me , " she de
clared , "and I ain't n-golng to do It. " She
hut her mouth , which was decisive.
The boys whistled nnd retired somewhat
In confusion "It s no go' " they shouted
to the others , who run up to learn the
uows
"Maggie's a fool-but shea a brlik"

room or peered through the open door to
see what was going on.
The negotiations weio concluded satisfac
torily to all concerned , especially to the
onlookers , who escorted tlio delegation to
the end of the alley and parted from them
with a rousing cheer.
r\t certain hours of the day a neat little
luuch room In the vlunity of the state
ufe is crowded with lawyers , students
and representatives , for all of whom red-
ehceki'il Maggie , In white apron and cup , has
smiling word of welcome.
Later In the day , when It Is an off
hour In that bomewhat conservative quar
ter. It la thronged with an unique sot of
customers They are somewhat hilarious to
bo sure , but there Is no ono around to tell.
Magglo waits on them herself , and with
an utter disregard of the fact that pic

serves generous pieces at " 5 cents a cor-

Magglo and the pies are a success.

A bag Is ono of the moat convenient re
ceptacles for small buttons , and a pretty
ono of medium size , nicely made and
decorated , will bo useful In a girl's room.
To make It , cut from a stout piece of
cardboard a round disk three Inches and one-
half in diameter , to act as a button. Cover
It with muslin , then select some pretty plainer
or figured material for the bag.
Plush t-retonue , bilk and denim nro all
serviceable goods nnd offer a wide variety
to choose from.
Allow the bag to have a depth of six.
Inches , and one Inch from the top arrange
draw strings to close the opening or mouth
of the bag.
Kndose the cardboard In the bottom of
the bag , and tack It fast , then gather the
material together at the center of the bottom
and attach It with a large button , sewed fast
to the cardboard bottom.
Around the lower part of the bag a design
made up of largo and email buttons of
various colors can be worke-l out. and with
\blatlc d > ed rope or Horaati ttoss silk , a few-
long and tbort stitches can be taken above
and below the largo buttons to add to the
appearance of the design.
Three small bags of this description at
tached together by the ends of the strings
will prove an acceptable gift for use In tbo
sewing room. And each may have Its
selected contents , one for bone buttons , ono
for dealing with "heavy goods , " perfectly
constructed signals and little white posts
on which are painted the gradient marks.
Let us Imagine that we are taking a Jour
ney on this miniature Hue , and that wo
start from Jorlcho station. Thlb station is
about two feet six Inches in length , and at
oni side of It Is a large lever , which wor'ts
tlio signals all up the line , 'n this model
ttatlon there rro waiting rooms , , while be
tween the buffers of tno stop block we may
sic the button of on electric bell , which ,
when struck by the pretty little locomorlve ,
automatically announces the arrival of the
train.
At about fifteen feet from .Tericho Is con
structed an Iron tubular bridge , four feet
'ong , and this Mr. Wnrneford had upo-lally
built for him by an Ironmonger In Wind
sor. A few feet further on Is ar admira
bly equipped signal cabin containing six
levers.
A di p cutting 16 thn next thing come teen
on thlo c\traordii.aiy railroad , and over the
cutting there Is the usual1 footbridge for
riitbi-ngors , who are requested "not to cross
the line except by the footbridge" After
the cutting conies the beautifully con
structed cantilever bridge , which Is twelve
fiet live Inches long , Including the ap-
pioachos Toi this bridge Mr. Warneforo
took for his model the famous Forth bridge.
The center of the line Is now reached and
here Is situated the tunnel , over which Is
a great mass of earth and bricks. Just be
fore entering the tunnel there Is n printed
notlio to the driver to "reduce speed. " and
here. too. Is located the cabin of the fog
signalman This Is a marvellous little
pteio of mechanism.
Out of the side of the little cabin pro
jects n bhort steel aroj , which Is struck
by the engine in passing. At the earno
tlmo an Iron hammer Is acted upon , and
this In falling explodes a cap and a small
charge of powder. As the train passes
through the tunnel It Is Interestlne to hear
the mutlled nlae usually associated with
a train In n tunnel.
On the other side of the tunnel Is Crowe
station , and here also Is another notice to
"whistle " A little further on the track
Is carried over a ravine on a perfectly
constructed American trestle bridge , five
feet six Inches long. The next bridge Is
what Is known as a "skew arch. " There is
also another bridge a double suspension
copied from one on the Thames on the
Great Western railway Just outside
Windsor , and near thlb bridge Is the usui.l
notlco to the public , "Beware of the
trains " The Chicago terminus Is as per
fect as all the other parts of this remark-
nblo line , and hero we notice that there Is
a "space to let for advertisements "
When ono considers the amount of detail
there la In this miniature railroad and that
the vvholo 6)stern v\aa erected by Mr ,
Warneford , It Is not surprising to learn
that It took two years to erect , working In
his ppare time. The olgnnls , for example ,
are not only correct In every nspect and
worked by levers and wires , but they are
properly guyed down and have tarred bases ,
so as to prevent the rotting of the wood.

A LITTLE GIRL AT
THE EXPOSITION.
a a
Dear Mr. editor. I got out to the c.\po-
Itlon the other morning just as the Pueblo
ndlans from Mexico arrived at the Indian
Illage. This tribe , will prove quite an nt-
ractlon , as they are the noted snake
uucers.
They were very busy unpacking and get-
Ing their wigwams In shape , but they didn't
ecm to bo In very much of a hurry about
t and I don't believe an Indian ever gets In
hurry , do you ? And , say , Mr. Kdltoi ,
hey aren't very boclable , arc they ?
By leal haid work I learned that there
as about 100 Indians there and about two-
hlrds of them were English speaking. The
hildren are very interesting and I had a
cal good time watching them.
There was ono little fellow they called Joe ,
ad his face covered In dark blue paint and
t made him look llko ho had been dead foi
i week , but when I went to talk to him I
ound him real Jolly and pleasant and he
ivas Just ns proud of his paint as a white
ioy Is of a new jacket.
Most all of ( the Indian mothers had on
irlght red dresses , with their hair in two
Talds hanging down their backs and almost
vcrjono had baby Indians In a blanket
'astened ' around their neck and the babies
mused themselves by pulling their mothers'
Iialr and pla > lng with the long strings of
eads which seemed to bo the chief orua-
: nont among the women.
On one side of the grounds they had an
ndlaii store , and hero I found articles of
every description belonging to the Indian
wardrobe. There was jackets , trousers
nd leggings , all made of buckskin ,
elaborately trimmed with beads of different
: olors.
Bracelets , moccasins and neckties were
hero to select from.
On the wall were hanging several very
nicely dressed hides , showing their skill
along that line.
I tried to get acquainted with some of
them , but they were very shy and seemed
afraid to talk to me. At last ono old
chief from the Flat Head tribe , wrapped
.ip In his blanket , concluded thai ) I would
not hurt him , and told me some few things
about their camp life.
They had two Targe Indian canoes on
exhibition In a largo trench filled with
water , that looked very pretty. Indeed , and ,
say , Mr. Kdltor , when > ou go out there
you'll find sears and evcrj thing tHcd up
real pleasant , where jou can sit down and
watch them , llut I would ndvlse you not
to go until after dinner , for jou would
find yourself In the same fix I was in , with
pressing Invitation to dinner , without
any appetite to go with it ) , and that Is
real embarrassing. I meant to have stayed
longer , but concluded I would come back
ionic time when my appetite was better.

YACHT ALFREDO , MIAMI. I'la. , Sept. C
If the assurances which have emanated
rom Washington within the past few weeks
ire made good the people of Cuba will
soon have nu opportunity to cast a free ,
.mlntlinidated . vote for the llrst time in the
lilstory of the Island. Elections held in
that unfortunate country in the past have
ieen mere shams , empty ceremonials , that
failed to express the desire of the people.
That which It is now expecied will ho held
some tlmo this fall will bo ono of the most
mporlant events that has taken place on
ho island. Separatists , innexatlonibts ,
uitonomlsts and Spanlaids all look for
ward to it with the greatest interest and
concern.
The people who compose thcbo parties
ire resident in Cuba , and have Interests in
common , but they will look at the future
Government of the island from entirely
lifferent points of view. The separatists
nro the insurgents , who , during the past
.hreo years , have been lighting for
liberty and Independence. They are com
posed of two er'iicly distinct elements ;
llrst the old creole population of the Is
land , the aristocracy , the best blood , the
best brains , the best cltlrcns , the best re-
resentatlvcs of the Latin race on this
hemisphere. With these people the deslr < >
for freedom , absolute , for an indepen Kiit
republic , has become a passion. tt has
i > cen their dream and their ambition for
years past. Kor It they have given up
life , property , everything. Numerically
they are piobably in the minority ; socially ,
politically and Intellectually they detcrvo
greater consideration than any other cle
ment on the Island. They Include the
Agramontcs , the Cisneros , the Detancourts ,
the Mcnocals , the Castlllos , the Agueios ,
the Mollnas , the Do Oarclas , the Artcgas ,
the Sanchez and Quesadas. These families
own more than half of the property on the
Island. They have descended from the
nobility of Ssaln ; many of them have
been knlchted for acts of bravery or pa
triotism.
Culinii IiPUdrrn.
They are the liberal , the Intellectual , the
the progressive people of Cuba. Many of
the sons of these families have been grad
uated from our universities. They are
familiar with our literature , our history j
and our Institutions , political and econom I
ical , they were the Inspiration , thn leaders
and the backbone of the late revolution.
They adore the United States , her Institu
tions and lur peopfe , but they will not vote
for annexation at present. With them per
sonal pride and sentiment have plajcd a
very Imi ortant part In their struggle for
liberty , and although In a few years' tlmo
they wilt undoubUdry bo the most earnest
supporters of annexation , If it were forced
upon them now , though well aware of t'ho
benefits accruing therefrom , it would never
theless bo unwelcome. The real secret for
this is that they desire at leubt a brief
period of self-government.
To enjoy thlH privilege would bo the
greatest boon that could bo granted them ,
and they are assuredly capable of self-gov
ernment.
The remainder of the separatists composed
the rank and lite of the Insurgent army.
Many of them are negroes or mulattoes ,
nearly all of them are farmers , country
I-cople , paeldcos , Ignorant and unambitious ,
but non-combat'ivp. save tinder actual com
pulsion. Numerically they are undoubt
edly In the majority. They have never held
olllce , nor would they bo likely to do so
under an Independent government. They
lare only to attend to their own affairs.
They may In time , with education , make
fairly good citizens. They will probably
vote against annexation.
This class will never furnish rulers ,
neither Is It likely to resist any Just form
of government. In evidence of the non-
combatlvo nature of this clement I may
btato that during an intimate association
of three jcars In the Insurgent army while
these men were under arms I never saw n
blow struck , a knlfo drawn or a shot fired
among tbemsclvts , nor have I ever heard
of such on occurrence.
The anncxatlonlsts Include a large num
ber of respectable and Intelligent Cubans ,
many of whom have spent the greater part
of their Fives In the United States , and * Aho ,
keenly aw are of financial and other advant
ages rhat would accuro from annexation ,
are In favor of It and will vote for It at the
first opportunity. They compose a worthy
clement In society , and are practically
a fine assortment just received.

Ically they are not large , and to what ex
tent ) they may exert an Influence toward
winning over the separatists to the pollny
of annexation it is Impossible to say. They
are an unknown quantity.
What attitude will be assumed by the old
party of the "autonomlsta" Is almost
equally uncertain The autonomlsta were
chielly property holders of the old regime.
They compose an eminently respectable ,
but not over prouiosslvo clement , and they
were never devoted to the Inborn princi
ples of liberty and Independence. They were
nlwnjs eaccr to compromise , to accept the
best the present afforded and to let the
future talte care of itself. At heart they
favored the cause of the Insurgents , but
they did not espouse It openly. In plain
words , durins the revolution most of them
sat on the fence. In point of numbers nnd
Influence they exert considerable political
power. Between annexation nnd Independ
ence they will probably choose the former j
as the easier way out. '
'I'lie Spnnlnriln.
The conservative party , or the Spaniards ,
form an entlnly dllferent class AH to their
merits or demerits , their claims to consid
eration or otherwise , opinions will un-
doubtully differ. In the past they have as
sumed an air of superiority over all on the
Island , except the army and the church
They wore the merchants , the shopkcepcro ,
the usurers , whose sole purpose was to
profit at the expense of the Cuban. For
centuries they have done all In their power
to hold him down nnd prevent his appoint
ment to any office. Many jears ago they
entered Into a conspiracy with the church
and the state to Keep him In a condition of
financial and political slavery. They took
good care that neither ho nor his interests
were ever represented In the t'ortfa at
Madrid. They prejudiced the crown and the
Cortes against the Cuban ; they bought up
the Judges and shored their plunder with
the venal politicians nnd military authorl
ties who came out ostensibly for the purpose -
pose of a Just administration of the laws
They cared nothing for the Island , nnd did
nothing to benefit It. Their money wan
j Bp nt In Spain , their sons were educated
tlicro and helped to form the vast army
of the voluntaries. They furnished the
spies , they built the forts , the barricades
the trenches and the trochas. They contrib
uted a largo part of the funds which carried
on the war of Spain against the Cubans
They are bitter , bigoted , uncompromising
nnd unprogriHslve. That they nro cordially
hated by the Cubans Is natural and
inevitable. This Is ono of the politlial
phases which during the period of won
structlon the United States will find the
most dinicult to hindle. This class numbers
about 210,000. They will undoubtedly vet
I for anything rather than submit to be ruled
by the Cubans The remark made to mo by
a Spanish lady at 53 Prado. In the city of
Havana , will Illustrate the uncompromising ,
mediaeval spirit of the conservative Icmcnt
toward the Insurgents"I wish to God that
the forces of Spain had bloodhounds with
I which to hunt thrte Cuban curs out of their
holes and tear them limb from limb. " Again ,
1 in the city of Puerto Principe , a Spanish
[ resident , as his boys left the house for
school , remarked In my hearing"I never
; ECO my sons leave that gate for school but
I what I tremble for fear that they may re-
1 turn contaminated with that pernicious rot
termed liberty and Independence. "
