“Do you know why the British soldier
is called ‘Tommy Atkins?’ ’’ asked a well
known member of the English contingent
of* the Strand, who before he started to
dabbling in futures and spots had served
his queen as an officer in the British vol-
unteers.
Col. George E. Korst, proprietor of the
Tremont hotel, arrived home Saturday
from a tour of the east and north. The
colonel has been “swinging round the cir-
cle,” as the politicians say, but he claims
that the reports that have been circulated
to the effect that he has been pestered
by newspaper men for interviews, making
speeches from the tail end of the train on
which he traveled and kissing the babies
of the admiring multitude are somewhat
exaggerated.
The attentions showered upon Col. Korst
while in Washington and New York have
not spoiled the colonel, although he does
boast of having shaken the hand of
man who shook the hand of Dewey.
“Queer things happen in this old world,”
said an old-time railroad clerk to The
Tribune young man at the domino table.
“You see that fellow standing near the
bar waiting for somebody to buy him a
drink? He looks like a tramp. He is a
tramp, and yet once upon a time, not so
long ago, he was general superintendent
of one of the best known lines in the
middle west, and made tours of inspection
in his own private car and today through
no fault of his own he is in pretty hard
lines. It all happened in a change of man-
agement; his fair weather friends soon
forgot him and after failure after failure
to secure congenial employment he turned
'station clerk’ to keep the wolf from the
door. There’ is no telling how much high-
er he would have risen had not the road
HOW TO PLEASE THE FAMILY.
Now that summer is over and more time
will be spent indoors, it is time to consid-
er what would give the most pleasure in
the home circle.
There is nothing equal to a Piano. This
should be a good instrument, not a shod-
dy Piano with a showy case. We will sell
you a reliable Piano as cheap as you can
buy it anywhere, and on easy terms if you
can not pay all cash.

“Well, it came about in this fashion:
Some years ago, qs a safeguard on the
quartermaster department, it was decided
that each soldier should make out his own
requisition for camp equipment. In order
to show the enlisted men the proper way
to fill out the blanks provided for that
purpose a dummy form was filled out and
given each soldier and was signed ‘Thom-
as Atkins.’ It took about as long for the
soldiers to start to calling their comrades
‘Tommy Atkins’ as it does for a good
story to travel from the Cotton ex-
change to Ritter’s, and that is why today
the world over the red coats are known
as ‘Tommy Atkins.’ ”

A process for making artificial paving
stones, that has been employed with suc-
cess in Germany, is described as follows
in a recent United States consular re-
port : Coal-tar is mixed with sulphur, and
when warmed thoroughly - chlorate of
lime is added. After cooling, the mass is
broken into small pieces and mixed with
blast furnace slag. This powder is then
subjected to great pressure and reduced
to the desired form. The specific weight
of such stones is 2.2 and their resistance
to wear and tear when in use is fully half
as grea/ as that of Swedish granite. The
material resists the action of temperature,
has a sufficiently rough surface to afford
a good foothold for horses, and does not
transmit sound.
It was not six months before
he was killed out in Montana, coupling
cars, and he never even reached the
ond rung of the ladder on his last at-
tempt. So you see, young man, when you
are giving some poor, unlucky devil a
nickel you might be giving it to some ex-
railroad manager, who had in his time
given you newspaper boys hundreds of
dollars’ worth of transportation.”

1 “Something real queer happened out at ; agement—but today—well,
the local freight depot of a well known
route the other day,” said an old-time
railroad clerk to a. Tribune young man
While standing in the wet goods annex of
the Tremont last evening. “It came about
this way. Among the large receivers of
cotton in Galveston are Mr. Richard Lord
and Mr. W. S. Christian. A car of cotton
came here billed 25 bales for Mr. Lord and
25 bales for Mr. Christian, but upon ex-
amination of the marks on the bales it
was found that Mr. Christian had only 24
bales in that car, while Mr. Lord had 26.
“A wire was immediately sent to the
agent at the originating point and his re-
ply read as follows: ‘Turn the Christian
over to the Lord to O. K. matters,’ and,”
said the. old-time railroad clerk, “I wonder
if all the putative Christians of this world
will be as lucky as that bale of cotton
when they reach their final destination.”
