Senator Hanna’s New Story.

The other day Senator Hanna told the following story to a group of fellow Senators: “In Lisbon, where I was born, they say a black man and a white man were once riding together along a lonely j-oarl. The road led past a jail,-and In the courtyard of the jail they saw, rising above the high and dismal stone wall, a gallows. “ ‘Jim,’ said the white man, ‘where would you be If that gallows had it£ duS?’ “ ‘Guess ah'd alone, sab,’ Jim replied.”

Regarding a trip made over the New York Central In. this month of August, Charles Bartel! Loomis writes: “Allow me to tell you what a pleasant trip I had over your lines. With a good book and with the country that lies outside the window panes to look at and the characters that sit alongside the same panes to study and the thought of the dining car, traveling is such a pleasant thing that I wonder the whole world does not travel ali the time.”
