On a clear morning its shoiit: \I come—from the sea— 'the sea—the sear I c.ome from the -sea—come from the s-e-a!\ brought the roar of the breakers dashing .against the cliffs, yet breathed of green fields chilly with fresh dew, of young calves, kicking out their heals as'they rushed'down the steep slope 'and'came to a stop In the cold water of a clear stream; its cry of Jreedom called defiance to man, while its echo, breathed peace in its tale of nature's\ freshness and purity from the fields through which It passed. To the girl listening with a strained expression on the pale face, its cry was threatening, accusing, pleading, anfl as the last echoes -floated uway, they were drowned by* Che cry of a human soul in mortal fear. She saw him again, standing beside her on the rear platform of this same train, •a bored \expression on the ha_ndsome face above her, heard his voice as in an awful sickening dream: \Surely you must have understood that it was Impossible, such a mar- riage- now- would ruin my, prospects forever.\.

He sold it out to the Northern Central-,\ which HOwoTSongirEo\ttJe r PeHn' sylvania. This was the firsj railroad deal of which he was the guiding genius, and it was profitable. Even in these small beginnings- two things marked the man, and they largely account for his success. He was a money- maker The people who went in with him came out with a profit. And he had an extraordinary ability to borrow money. 'A banker ventures the assertion that •Ha«ittiBn has, from the start, bee'n the \most Bkillful borrower known to Jhe Street. He has always been active in jfOfminggooi connections with big lead- ers. The life insurance companies were, early accjUfiinted with him. ' As finance- is mostly the art of borrowing rhoh'ey, this gift is obviously advantageous in a peculiar degree. While the above is a little mixed as to dates and exact location, the main facts; are correct, Mf. Harriman did buy the Sodus Baf and Southern road, then known as the \Cuckoo\ road v . And he quickly sold it again at a handsome profit. Mr. Harriman owned considerable real estate at Sodus Point for several 1 years, and s|ill retains title-fo some land. This story has been printed 1 in the Gasette before and is only printed again because of Mr. Harriman's newly ac- quired prominence. He used to beja frequent visitor at Sodus Point.

ENORMOUS CqST OF FIRES. Buildings Might Be Made Invulnerable at No Great Expense. J4JEN A CLEVER PICKPOCKET* Short of Leg and Long of Neck It Won Many-a Penny. \ \ A hen with a fieck like a turkey and one leg an inch shorter than the. other attracted attention here a few days BgQ_andxaused^as_ much-merriment as The' International Society of Build- ing Commissioners and Inspectors calls attention to the fact that we have in the United States 11,500,000 buildings, valued at ?14,500,000,000, or more than, all the railroads in the country nut together, and it asserts. that of all these just one is absolutely fireproof, says Collier's Weekly. That one was built in Chicago by the great insurance. companies for a testing laboratory. There are only 4,000 build- ings—about one in 3,0011t=that\ are even. nominally fireproof, and these can be. damaged in a conflagration to the extent of from 30 t o 90 per cent of their value. Yet \the' unburnable underwriters' laboratory in Chicago, with its, walls ot -vitirified brick, floors, roof and partitions'of seiniporous, hol- low terra, cotta, dopf and window openings framed in rolled steel, win- dow frames and sashes of sheet metal, doors of filled copper and steel and stairs of hollow terra cqtta, cost only 12 per cent more than a Building which would shrivel up at the' first breath of an advancing fire. In\I9Q5 which was a \normal year,\ we spent $500,000,000 for new build- ings, and burned old ones to the Value of ?2Q0,000,OQO. We paid $800,000,000 for .fighting fire and- $i95,0OO,0QO in fire insurance premiums, of which, we got back $95,000,000 .from the com- panies In payment of losses.

If —we should burn up the whole of our bonanza wheat crop, on whieb-<w.e.are a one-ring circus,- says the New York World man at McKeeVer, N. Y. The fowl, which was said to he tw.0 years old, was the property of an or- gan grinder, who carried .it-on top of his organ instead of a jiionkey. He had JailghiLit_to-do several trlc.ks.JlM . -it is sale to say that, it collected Jnore pennies than the average simian. When the organ, grinder struck the village the hen was perched on top of one Shoulder, emitting sounds between a crow and a squeal. This naturally attracted attention and soon a srdall crowd wajs assembled. As soon as enough had arrived the hen dropped to the ground and began to navigate in a series\ of'circles toward possible donators of coin. Owing to the fact that\ one leg was shorter than the other it could not proceed in a straight lino, an<} Its efforts to pick up.pennies tossed on the ground were extremely ludicrous. Once it had a coin in its beak the hen would flutter and squawk and circle back to the grinder arid place the treasure in his breeohes pocket. Then it would navigate back to the crowd and look for more. The. long neck of the fowl was of advantage, for, by standing jm the toes ot its long lei;, It could search: vest pockets for pennies. In this way several were added to the collection. The hen, in fact, was a s good a,pickpocket as was ever found operating at the county fair. a calamity,-yet,ft Is doubtful whether .lhat\-wjtiole.c£apjpoulcl pay.for the property we actually have burned and are burning this- year.
