Tammany Boss Could Not Frighten
Governor Into Giving Approval
to Certain Bill.
As a questioning reporter, the writer
had been received by Governor Hoff
man, in the executive office of the old
capitol. with that dignified courtesy
that marked the governor's Inter
course with any one. high or low.
The question had been asked, and the
answer given. The reporter rose, and
was making his acknowledgements,
when the green baize doors that sepa
rated the executive chamber from the
outer office were swung violently open
and "Boss" Tweed, with red face,
flashing eyes and theratenlng manner.
burst Into the room.
The governor advanced to meet
him. with a heavy frown upon his
face.
"I hear that you're goln" to veto
such-acd-such a bill. Governor Hoff
man T shouted Tweed.
"Such Is my Intention. Senator
Tweed." replied the governor, very
white of face.
"Do you know I'm behind that bill?"
raising his voice, threateningly.
"I have been so Informed." was the
answer.
"See here, you expect to have a sec
ond term, don't you?" cried the en
raged boss.
"Senator Tweed. I propose to be
governor of the state of New York
one term and to accept no dictation
during It." replied the governor, look

On this point some very Interesting
remarks were made by John ' Heck,
the Glasgow engineer surveyor.
He said that, calculating the
strength of twelve men to be equal
to one horse-power, it would "require
840,000 men to prfc.tuce as much, en
ergy as the 70.0CO horse-power de
veloped by the turbine machinery of
the express Cunarder LusUania.- Then
if the men were to work on the eight
hour day system those figures would
give a total of 2.520.000. that being
the number of men whose strength
would be necessary to drive the vessel

The Arab vices and virtues "(for. they

They are the handsomest men in .the
world, these Arabs; but they" are not
the cleanest. In reverent demeanor
and tactful courtesy they surpass tha
most cultured gentlemen of Europe;
but they are notorious thieves.
' Their hospitality is proverbial. For
three days the Arab host will protect
one who has eaten bread and salt in
his tent, even to dying in defense of
his guest. When the time limit of the
salt brotherhood has expired the host
will feel quite free to rob the for
mer guest on his own account. Ordi
narily the Arab lives on Bread and
milk, or bread and cheese. If a guest
arrives he will Insist upon slaughter

quently happens, the Arab starves for

COASTING AND ITS GLORIES
Columbus Editor Grows Some Enthus
iastic as He Writes on the
Subject.
During the last snow spell the boys
had out their sleds and did a deal of
coasting. There is no memory of
rcuth as glorious as that sport. No
tcdy ever though that the fun of
sliding down hill was in the slightest
d:icished by the labor of trudging
beck: uphill.
The swift and exhilarating Joy of
Sitting down the hillside was a grasd
part of a boy's experience, and will
never grow stale in the memory.
What a great thing- it would be if the
spirit of that sport would get into the
humdrum of life aad brighten it up
ome.
There is one feature of this coast
ing business that stands out like a
promontory. That was "belly-bustin.'
Tiere . is no use to feel squirmish
afcout the term or hesitate to breathe
it aloud in a literary column.
That was the exciting feature of
coasting, and was. indulged in mostly
by. iho. boys, .of . daring and -patched
clothes. "Get ,out of the way!" . he
shouts, and bang gees the sled on the
slippery hillside, with the boy's lers
stretched far astern the sled in the
endeavor to guide it, but. failing, off
he runs into a boy here, knocks one
down there, and turns another end for
end out in the snow. Oh. but it was
glorious! One can hear that yell yet.
If men would do that to one another
in the grown-up world, there would
be fighting and madness all the time.
but in the boy world It belonged to
the beautiful sanctities of life. To
this day we take off our hat to tho
"belly-buster." Columbus Journal.
. . Feminine Forgetfulness.
Women are growing more forgetful.
At least that is what somebody has
said who makes a study of such
things, and the theory was proved the.
other day by a woman in a New Tort
department store. When she had
shcrped in several places and con
sumed most of the afternoon, she
found she had lost her muff. Return
big to the shop in which she last re
membered having ft. she made a fer
vent appeal to the derk of the
"Peud" department. "I left my muff
ia cne of your fitting rooms. J am
rare." said the woman; "you have It,
cf course?" The girl looked at her
cairJy. "Probably we have. Fifty
rix muffs were found today." -The
x-omaa gasped. "Oh, yes, that is about
-ir average at this season." added tho
clerk. "We often have almost 100 ci
a cr:M day; sometimes we gather i"
cn?y 40 or 50. But I should say ZJ
is tha average."
