Although 86 years old, Peter Law eon of 'Mongaup Valley, Sullivan County, has ,Just taken his first rido on a railroad ; train, arriving here today from Monticello. Lawson saw the first train pass over the Erie at Nanowsburg in IMS, when he and his father traveled all the way from Mongaup Valley to that place to witness the sight. Napoleon end th Cobbler. On Napoleon's arrival at Mars-Ia-Tours the mayor, ft farmer, tried in i vain to make the speech he had prepared. Bowing and scrapings he stood fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizing black eyes an unhappy squirrel in the gaze of the rattlesnake. Close behind the trembling mayor stood an old shoemaker, in figure a true Don Quixote, clad in his working dress. "Why don't you speak, you fool?" he muttered from time to time to his leader. At last his patience gave way. lie pushed the mayor aside, advanced, with his left hand removed his greasy cotton nightcap, with his right lifted the horn spectacles from his nose, made his bow and delivered the oration: "Emperor, you are on your way to thrash th Prussian rogues once more. I hope , eoon to see you return crowned with j glory, and I have nothing more to say, j but that Caesar and Alexander were j botches In comparison with you. The emperor laughed and inquired of the old man whether he had any sons. "Yea; four are In ihe army two of these in the guards." Their names were taken down, and the houest shoemaker soon saw them raised to the rank. of officers and found himself proTided with a comfortable pension. Gladstone's Peculiar Eyes. Gladstone had peculiar eagle-like yes. At a dinner at which he and Professor Bhickie were present the tw men were opposite, and when Gladstone-gave In a forcible way his Idea that Homer was no longer recited, but. chanted, the professor cried out, "Mr.1 Gladstone, I don't -believe a word of It!" Then he-rose to argue the matter and said? one (sentence, but got no further. I3e'had met Gladstone's gaze andpeen his, outer eyelids widened to thetrvfallapss In a steady glare, and his tongue stufobled, and he sank back Into bl8vchair In confusion. The writer concludes.: "Go tojttne zoo for It. Take your umbrella. Make your way to the place where eagles,, vultures, falcons and such like creatures blink on their perches. Select a bird. Stare -at him with insult andyou -will see the outer lids expand as Mr.-Gladstone's .did. Poke at him with your'wmbrella. The filmy vertical lids throngh which he looks at the sun and opens to paralyse his prey will part, and then you will sae what Blackto eaw and understand Ms feelIn!." An Oca Lot.

The "summum honum" of a man's life who shall say w hen or what it is In any given case? It becomes almost a work of supererogation to attempt to desiguate any single act or per iance as the one most valuable in ..ny man s career. lceuncea to ine inn- . mate, it becomes, after all, only the expression of nn individual opinion, save in thos striking instances in which by general consent a certain achievement is recognized as the man's greatest work. No one would deny that in "Paradise Lost" Milton attained the highest expression of his mentality, that Wellington achieved his greatest fame when he won the field of Waterloo, that Bacon's "Novum Organum" is his greatest accomplishment and that "Don Quixote" exceeds anything else that Cervantes ever did. In other life records one act may appear equal to another at different stages in the man's development, or to one observer the influence of one deed may far outweigh that of another, and contrariwise. This difficulty has been exceedingly hard to overcome and without any attempt at dogmatism, but with the earnest desire to ascertain the truth as far as may be possible, has the decision been made in the disputable records. Having been arranged in this manner, the records give an average age of fifty for the performance of the masterwork. For the workers the average age is forty-seven and for the thinkers fifty-two. Chemists and physi cists average the youngest at forty-one; dramatists and playwrights, poets and Inventors follow at forty-four; novelists give an average of forty-six, explorers and warriors forty-seven, musical composers and actors forty-eight, artists and divines occupy the position of equilibrium at fifty, essayists and reformers stand at fifty-one, physicians and surgeons line up with the statesmen at fifty-two. philosophers give an average of fifty-four, astronomers and mathematicians, satirists and humorists reach fifty-six, historians fiftyseven and naturalists and jurists fiftyeight. As may be noted, there Is a rearrangement of the order at this time, but the thinkers, as before and as would naturally be expected, attain their full maturity at a later period than the workers. The corollary is evident. Provided health and optimism remain, the man of fifty can command success as readily as the man of thirty. Health plus optimism read the secret of success; the one God given, the other Inborn also, but capable of cultivation to the point of enthusiasm. W. A. Newman Dorland In Century. Freaky Mental Notes. "Have you ever noticed what strange memoranda man's mind makes?" asked the observant inquisitor. "You have met people who cannot remember 2424 except as a number which they call twice 1212.' That's an ordinary case, but I think I got across a champion freak mind the other day when I was lrinbtncr nr a man ivhrt Vi a a haAn ilaoil for Mffie flften , to hls neighborhood and began questioning the old timers. 'Yes, I remember Charley Johnson well enough, sure I do,' said one old fellow. Then I wanted to know what Charley Johnson's trade had been. 'H'm. Charley Johnson's trade?' answered my Informant in a perplexed tone. 'Charley Johnson's trade? Well, darn It, what was his trade now? What did Charley do. arty-w-ay? Just wait a minute. 1 know that there is something here In the house that will remind me what his trade was. Just let me look around a minute. Let us see. what was it now? That's right, that's right; there I have It. Charley was a baker. That's right. You see that there picture over there? It has 6ome Dutch writing under it. That reminds me of Dutch cake and makes me think of it that Charley was a baker.' Now. what do you think of that? Why couldn't that freak mind just as easily remember that Charley was a baker as remembering the laborious process for refreshing its memory 2" Philadelphia Record.

AWFUL TO THINK OF

Twenty-five Years Ago Today There Was Four Inches of Snow on Ground. A GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST. Think of it, as you mop the prespiration from your noble brow and remark to your friend: "Hasn't this been a warm day?", it was twenty-five years ago today that four inches of snow fell throughout this vicinity. The fruit trees were loaded with immature fruit and the limbs broke under the - weight of the snow. Corn was four or five inches high and when it ceased snowing only the bare tips of green could be seen above the mantel of white. The spring had been warm and free from heavy rains so that the spring planting had been completed. That was only a quarter of a century ago. There has been general comment on the late springs of the last two years but 1SS3 holds the record for heavy snow fall as late as May 21. ADULTERY CHARGED BY EMMA HAAGER Suing Husband for Divorce And Alimony. On the charge of adultery, Emma Haager has entered suit for divorce from Henry Haager. The plaintiff specifies May 14 as the date on which the misdeed is said to have taken place. The plaintiff charges Eva Wilson with being the woman in the case and asserts that on more than one occasion the defendant has been intimate in his relations with her. The defendant is represented as owning real estate valued at $400, and personal property and money worth $1,200, and earning $100 per month. The plaintiff asks for an injunction against the defendant to prevent him disposing of his property as he is al leged to have threatened to do. Mrs Haager also seeks alimony to the ex tent or $i,uuu. A VISIT TO THE MOON. Is Such a Thing Within the Bounds of Possibility? Can men visit the moon? In any age but the present, says Professor Ernest Green Dodge, A. M., this question if seriously asked would have been answered by a chorus Of jeers. So far beyond the pale of possibilities has the j visiting of other worlds always ap-1 peared that writers of fiction have felt free to treat the idea sportively, describing thrilling journeys through tfpaee in impossible vehicles. Nevertheless the thought of exploring distant planets, pausing en route to view the farther side of the moon, so tantalizingly turned from us, is one that fires the human Imagination most profoundly. The worst that can be said is that it now looks as difficult to us as the crossing of the great Atlantic must once have appeared to the naked savage upon its shore. The impossibility of the savage became the triumph of Columbus, and the day-dream of the nineteenth century may become the achievement even of the twentieth. A body on the earth's equator is traveling with the earth's rotation at a speed of more than a thousand miles an hour. If relieved of gravity it would not fly suddenly off, like a cannon ball, and disappear Into space. For several seconds its rise from the surface of the earth would be so slow as to be practically Imperceptible owing to the small difference between a straight tangent line and the earth's slow curvature. Gradually, however, its apparent upward velocity would increase so as to lift it some sixty-five yards the first minute and more than a hundred miles the first hour. It would travel 239,000 miles, the distance between the earth and the moon, in ten days, and if suitably exposed to the earth's attraction, acting as a brake, while screened from that of the moon, its landing could be made gentle and safe. Strangely enough, the unturning attitude of the lunar surface in relation to the earth makes the return voyage absolutely impossible save by a tedious roundabout journey of many months, involving the circumnaviga tion of Mars. The query may now arise, "What is the moon good for, even if man succeeds in reaching it?" We know it to be a barren, rocky world, without air or moisture, unspeakably cold at night and below the freezing point even at noon. However, men could abide there for a time in thick walled, air tight houses and could walk out of doors in air tight divers' suits. Scientists would find in the lunar wastes a fresh field for exploration. Astronomers could plant their telescopes there, free from their most serious hindrance, the earth's atmosphere. Tourists of the wealthy and adventurous class would not fail to visit the satellite, and costly hotels must be maintained for their accommodation. Then it is quite probable that veins of previous metals, beds of diamonds and an abundance of surphur might be discovered on a world of so highly volcanic a character. The foregoing may seem filled with "the stuff that dreams are made of." yet most of the assertions are based on the hard facts of mathematics and physics. History is not always particular to follow the precise path laid out for it by prophets, yet in the long run it never fails to achieve larger things than the seer dared to predictNew York World. One of the large electrical firms in Germany give yearly from 54 to S7 to employes who have served for more than a year. The sum thus expended

BUILDING TRADES IN THE A. F. OF L.

Several Officials in Conference. Washington, May 21 The executive council of the recently formed building trades department of the American Federation of Labor has decided to grant charters to the building trades unions of Cleveland, Ohio, and Detroit, Mich., to affiliate with the national building trades department. Another matter considered but not acted upon, was the question of the admission of the bricklayers and plaster ers to the local councils. Among those ! who participated in the conference with the president of the building trades department were: James Kirby, Brotherhood of Carpenters: Secretary William J. Spencer. I'nited Association of Journeymen Plumbers and Steam Fitters; Frank M. Ryan, Indianapolis. i Ind., president of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers' International association: William J. MeSorley. Cleveland. Ohio, president of the Wood Wire and Metal Lathers' International association. Dickens and the Theater. Charles Dickens was a great patron of the theater. He allowed himself one night to be taken to the play by a friend who was interested in the piece which happened to occupy the boards. The man in charge of the door would not admit them without payment, but after awhile the authoritative official was found and the necessary permission secured. The performance unfortunately proved to be very dull, but for the sake of his friend the famous novelist endured it with stoical calmness. In leaving, however, he stared about him and remarked, with simple pathos: "I am looking for that kind hearted man who was not for letting us in. I should like to give him a shilling."

Three-quarters of a century ago no home of tht aristocracy was complete without its backgammon board. The game was pinyed nightly as an innocent diversion.
