RED TAPE RULES IN LONDON
Man Who Fell Into the Thames Re-
futed Admittance to Police Sta-
tion! and Hoapltal.
The complaints made occasionally
In New York of the refusal of hos
pltals to admit emergency patients,
some of them in desperate plight, arc
brought to mind by the experience of
a London man who fell Into the
Thames the other day
In New York the explanation has
been that the hospitals refusing to
treat patlenta were overcrowded and
It wsa lmpoaslble to accommodate an
other applicant for admission. In ths
London case red tape appears to have
been responsible for the denial of sue
cor to the man who took an lnvolun
tary bath In the Icy watera of ths
river.
Nothing In the testimony on the
subject of the shivering unlortunate's
treatment Indicated that there was
not plenty of room for him in which
to get warm and dry his clothes.
The story came out In a police
court, when a young laborer was
charged with breaking a plate gfhss
window In the Salvation army shelter
In Whitechapel road. The accused
testified that after he pulled himself
out of the river he had applied at
two police stations for permission tc
have his clothes dried, and was re
ferrod to the casual ward _ of a hos-
pital, but an official there would not
admit him because he had no order.
It was then early on a December
morning. According to the testimony
of a night watchman at the Salvation
army shelter, the prisoner had asked
to be admitted there about four
o'clock a. m. to dry his clothes
When the watchman told him to
call again at five o’clock, as It was
against the rules to admit anyone be
fore that hour, the prisoner threw his
cap at the window and broke the
glass.
The magistrate was Interested In
the prisoner's story that he had been
turned away from police station and a
hospital, and declined to dispose ol
the case until he ascertained whether
It was true.
Another tale of red tape methods In
a London hospital is told by an Amerl
can. He Buffered an Injury to hla eye
and was In great pain.
"Can you afTord to pay for the
treatment?” asked the surgeon at tne
hoapltal.
"Oh, yea,” responded the American
"Then we can do nothing for you,"
said the ssrgeo*. "We treat only
those who cannot afford to pay."—N
Y. Sun.
Ill-Paid Hero.
Mr. French Strother, writing In the
World'! Work about C. P. Rodgers
transcontinental flight, says that
financially the trip was a disappoint-
ment. He received five dollars a mile
for hla flight from New York to Fort
Worth, and from Fort Worth to Pas-
■adena, four dollars a mile and all the
purses be could arrange for on the
side. He thus received about twenty-
thousand dollars from his backers and
about three or four thousand dollars
prize money. Rut his machine cost
Bve thousand dollars and repairs coat
about seventeen thousand dollars
more, so his net return was small.
But he unconsciously summed up
the significance of his flight at Pass-
Jena, after he had heard the last con-
gratulations and had laid off the
American flag they had thrown across
bis shoulders, when he placed bis
hands on his mother’s shoulder and
said:
"Never mind about the money. It
don’t amount to much that way—but
l did It, didn't I?”

NEGRO KNEW NOTED MEN
Veteran Porter, Who Died Recently,
Served on Private Car of Sev-
eral Presidents.
The death of David Hazelton, the
veteran porter In the office of the
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad In Baltimore, removes a fa-
miliar figure from the ranks of the
old school of Maryland servants. Per-
haps no other negro In this country
was acquainted with so many promi-
nent men of affairs, says the Railroad
Man's Magazine.
David, who was over seventy, was a
native Baltimorean. While a boy he
witnessed the Baltimore riot on April
19, 1861, and was ever fond of telling
of the encounter with the Massachu-
setts soldiers.
He entered the service of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad In 1874 as a
waiter at the Relay house, a few miles
from Baltimore. Dining care were not
then known on American railroads.
He continued In this position for
more than a year. Later he became
head waiter at the Deer Park hotel
when the Baltimore & Ohio opened
it In western Maryland. 'It was Presi-
dent John W. Garrett who about 1876
chose him as a private car porter. For
more than thirty years he remained
in charge of the official cars of the
Baltimore & Ohio’s presidents.
During that time David crossed the
continent hundreds of times In charge
of special partleB and with officials of
the railroad. He has ridden over prac-
tically every mile of railroad track In
North America from the Isthmus of
Panama to the northernmost lines of
Canada. He was six feet tall and
made a striking appearance In his uni-
form of royal blue trimmed In gold
and cap slightly tilted.
On a trip with a party In which
Commodore Vanderbilt was a guest
David's dinner was pronounced by the
commodore the beBt meal he had ever
eaten. David had charge of prestden-
lal parties from General Grant down
o McKiuley and Roosevelt. General
Gr-.nt was numbered as one of his fa-
v rite gtiestB. President Cleveland
a’30 frequently traveled with David.
When he started on his honeymoon he
'■ ado a special request that David be
-raced in charge of ills car.
D vld retired a few years ago and
eer i e a messenger In the office of
he Baltimore & Ohio’s president. Vis-
itors will recall David occupying a
place Just outside the suite of the chief
iterative of the road, his hat Bllgbtly
tilted and humming a tune popular in
Dixie.
John Smith Everywhere.
The good old name of John Smith
does not suggest In Kngltsh uny great
legree of aristocracy, but transferred
to other languages It seems to climb
the ladder, so to speak.
Thus. In Latin it la Johannes
Smltbus. the Italian smooths it off In-
to Giovanni Snitthl, the Spaniards ren
der it Juan Stnlthus, the Dutchman
adopt s It as Hano Schmidt, the French
flatten It out Into Jean Smeet aud the
Russian Bays Jonloff Smtttowskt.
When John Sgilth gets Into the tea
trade In Canton he becomes Jovau
Shlmmlt; If he clambers about Modfit
Hecla the Icelanders refer to him as
Jabne Smithson; If he trades among
the Tuscaroraa be becomes Ton Qa
Smlttla; In Poland be la known as
Ivan Schmlttlwelskl; should be wan
der among the Welsh mountains they
talk of Jthon 8chmidd; when he goes
to Mexico he la called Jontll F’Smlttl;
If of classic turn he lingers among
Greek ruin* he turns to Ion Bmlkton,
and In Turkey he Is utterly dUgulsed

Colored Preacher’s Eulogy.
A negro minister was called on to
reach the funeral sermon of a mem-
er of his race In a certain Mississippi
oivu some years ago. The deceased
• us a general bad character and had
eon killed In a street brawl. In ad-
n to his other derelictions he had
ncurred the enmity of the old mlnls-
cr. However, the old fellow, In a
pirlt of “Christian charity," as he ex-
pert It, consented to "make a few
at de grave."
u the gathering assembled he
(rose and said:
"My breddern and eistern, I ain't er
<w!:ie to tell you dat Bill Jackson
was a good nigger, 'en'se he warn’t. I
in’t er gwlne ter tell you dut he was

DENTISTS,
OKLAHOMA CITY.
Helen looked up at the conductor
with a flushed face. “I’m sorry," she
said, "but I'm afraid that I have do
money.”
"I guess you can find It If you have
to,” bn snorted as be passed on. "Look
again—and hurry up."
He went out on the rear platform
for a moment, but soon he followed
another Incoming passenger up the
aisle.
"I really can’t find a single coin,”
said Helen, looking up from her dis-
ordered purse.
"That's all right,” waa the more
gracious response. “A gent out on
the platform staked you.”
Was It that man In the soft hat?”
she asked as she caught Bight of Har-
vey Tennant trying to look uncon-
cerned.
"Sure thing,” he assented. “Shall I
send him in?”
“I do not care to be under obliga-
tions to the gentleman.” she said
coldly. “Please stop the car.”
It was Intolerable that after last
night Harvey should presume to pay
her car fare. Had It been a total
stranger she would have been grate-
ful, but a man who only the night
before had assured her that she could
not get along without him! She
would show him that she could, and
she swept off the car with a majestic
dignity that caused Tennant to smile.
"Look here, Nell." he protested as
he followed her to the sidewalk, “you
most not be here alone. It Is one ol
the toughest districts In town.”
So I Judge from Its Inhabitants,"
she said with a meaning glance at
him. "It seems that they take pleas-
ure In annoying unprotected women.”
That’s Just the trouble,’’ he said
placidly, though his face reddened.
“Don’t be foolish. Let me lend you a
nickel. You can send It back tonight.
It 1b only what I would do for any
woman In the samp fix.”
"I do not have to trespass upon
your chivalry,” she declared, with a
scornful accent upon the last word.
“I nm amply able to take care of my-
self.”
“I believe we discussed that to no
purpose last night," he Said coldly.
"1 adhere to my original opinion.”
And I to mine,” sbe sniffed, as sha
began to walk on. Harvey droppel
back a few paces and followed her.
The dozen blocks bordering tho
freight yards bore a most unsavory
reputation. No gently bred woman
wus safe from Insult.
And Just because l.e had ventured
to criticise her boldness in venturing
out alone on her charily visits sho
had broken their engagement the
night before with the scornful state-
ment that she was amply able to take
care of herself and would have naught
of a husband wins already showed
such a disposition to bully.
Me did not have long to wait for
his revenge. On the next block a
crowd of half-drunken loafers reeled
from a saloon. Helen shrank to the
edge of the sidewalk and by her very
precaution attracted their attention.
“There's me mussls," shouted one
as he lurched toward her. "Come
here, me dear, and let hubby have a
few coins for hla beer.”
As he staggered toward her Helen
raised her handB to ward him off, and
in doing so dropped her bundles. With
a wild yell the rest of the crowd drove
after the parcels Just as Harvey dash-
ed up.
A few well-directed kicks scattered
the crowd, but the first speaker waa
less easily disposed of. The Idea that
Helen was his wife had entered hla
drunken brain ar.d refused to be dis-
lodged and he made an attempt to
clasp her In his arms while demanding
of the new comer why he should seek
to separate a loving pair.
Harvey’s answer was a blow that
sent him sprawling, but he scrambled
to his feet In au instant and staggered
toward his assailant waving a cotton
hook that had dangled from his belt.
With a scream Helen sought to
throw herself between the two men,
but Harvey thrust her quickly aside.
The man In his drunken Insanity
would make no distinction and it waa
a fight man to man
He had had some experience on the
mat. Had been the wrestling cham-
pion of hla club for two seasons, and
he maneuvered for an opening. It
was no easy matter for he had seen
fights among the longshoremen and
know that a cotton hook was faf more
dangerous than a knife It was some
time before he could find his opening,
but at last he closed In with a rush,
pinioning his adversary's arms close
to his side. After that the fight was
a short one. Once at a disadvantage
the rough collapsed and through a
audden turn of his thoughts became
lachrymose. Harvey tearfully lament-
ing the loss of his wife while he as-
sisted Helen to regain such bundles as
had been left her.
“I, presume that you will not refuse
| oar tare now." he said as he straight-
ened1 out his overcoat.
| "Don’t you think we could have a
I cab?" she suggested, “because you
| see, Harvey—we can hold hands In a
tab.”
