DIDNS LOOK LIKE A WIZARD. ‘When Inventor Bdison Was Fresh From the Country. HAD HISTIRONIC ASPIRATIONS. Tom Was Very Fond of Tragedy and Uned to Recite From Richard —A Rustic Laa Was He. Twenty-fonr Years Ago, In 1865 young Tom Rdison came to Cincinnati and took a situation as op- erator in the Western Union telegraph office, then at the corner of Fourth and Walnut stroets, snys a writer in the Enquirer. His co was as bland and nearly as round as the full moon; his hair, of no particular color, but strug- gling toward chestnut, was abundant and rebellious of restraint. He had even then a student-like stoop of the shoulders, though I think he had stud- jed nothing since his rudiment schooling except a few bound volum of the North American Review, which he kept carafully in his trank. They were the gift of his father. He was plainly clad. His manner was a mixture of diffidence and sclf- possession, the latter the underlying though less prominent quality. In speech he was slow to start and bashful at begiuning, but talked with vigor and confidence, once under way. Among the smart, dressy young gentlemen of the office he cut no great figure. IHe did not expect to, of course, for the boy in his teens, who had come from a coun- try station for the first time into a city office to associate with persons who had reached the (to him) goal of human am- bition—Billy this, the great “sender,” who dces nearly fifty words & minute right along, and Jim that, the ‘‘re- ceiver,” who takes press reports for hours without ‘“‘breaking’—the new- comer in this exalted cirele is naturally abashed. He teeis like a county com- missioner suddenly elevated to the house of lords. Iidison, among these glib oxperts with their jaunty talk about city topics that were new to him, was shy. It was only the cherubic smile that always hovered ubout his lips, and the meriy twinkle in his c denpting a and unfailing o humor that saved him from being laughed at for hiscrudeness. He w. quiet, but his eyes were always in pathy with any fan that was going that smile was capable of wida ex| sion. It was a discriminating smile, however, and failed to respond to the parroty reiterations of slang and the coarse sallies that often passed for wit, but was ever alert for anything bright or amusing. His dress did not im- prove; 1ts governing princivle seemed 10 be frugality. He took little inte: in the amusements of the other opc s, which were generally of the fr and-easy kind. Economy was not larg, ly cultivated there, and, though no- body could dislike Fdison, he was not classed among the smart men of the office. - Only one thing tempted him to extravagance; that was tragedies at the theater. A ficry ambition to be a tragedian possessed his soul. He was deeply im- Pressed by Edwin Adams’ Richard IT. at Wood’s theater. He, studied the part of Richard, and many a day the clicking of the ‘“‘sounders” on No. 7 wire (the Kentucky Central),and No. 4 ‘West (the Indianapolis wire), which he worked, formed an accompaniment to Richard’s soliloquy. ““Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by the Son of York. And all the clouds that lowered upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried,” ‘Which Edison rendered with his beem- ing moon of a face ecelipsed in gloom, and his shoulders humped up as high and his voice dumped down as low as he could possibly get it. Ed Gilliland, since associated with Mr. Edison as an electriciun, was an operator in the Cin- cinnati office then and had the entree to the regions behind the scenes at ‘Wood’s theater. Through him Edison ined access to the stage and saw the nner workings of the drama. Perhaps that dissipated the glamour with which the stage had dazzled his eyes. At any rate, dramatic instinct waned within him, and it was not long until hisactive mind vurned to another subject. He began investigating electricity, He gathered up all available odd bits of nB‘pm—aLus that were derelict about the office, to experiment with. He had a few friefids in the office who liked him and admired him becanse he was so ood-natured and honest, and was so ittle influenced by the criticism or ridicule of the sharp and dashing spirits thatled public opinion there, and he had such a quict way of doing as he pleused and pleasing ‘to do very sensibly, and occasioually in a siecpy way he made a_joke or a keen remark that grew funnier or keener the longer you considered it. He occupied a cheap room in the top story of a big business building on Third street, and ate at the most inexpensive restaurants. He Kept rather to himself 1n the matter of his room and eating, as, indeed, he did in many wuys, and though never rude nor repellent, he soon had u few friends and the rest of the force was inclined 1o consider him a common-place, unin- teresting chap from the country. He was not long in getting to the front as an operator. His “copy” waus beauti- ful—small, round, erect létters as plain as print and much pretticr. The only “‘copy” in the office to compare with it was that of George Kennan (now the writer and traveler), who was then the assistant chief operator in that office. Edison took his work easily, but kept up with the rushing “senders” He was not above the ambition of the ordinary operator to avoid “‘breaking.” even at the risk of a slight inaccuracy. Once when he was receiving the Associated press report I was standing by talking with him as be worked, and thisled to him missing a name of some man who figured in an 1mportant way in the item. “Did you get that name?” smd Tom, as its flying stylus stovped its swift course over the “‘manifold” sheots. I shook my head. *“All right; we'll hand him down to posterity as John Smith,” was the quick reply, ana it was 50 written. There was no time to hesitate; the soundor was rattling off over forty words a winute, and the re- rt proceeded without any interrup- on from Cincinnati, While at Cin- cinnati Edison was experimenting upon the duplex system, which Le afterward made practical, so that now, with sub- sequent improvements, four messages go simultaneously on one wire—two euch way. A few years ago I met him in Cin- einnati—the first time since we had de- claimed Richard 111. together in juve- milo duys of telography. There was no olimbing to a lonely loft to find him 1 ® dingy den this time. The elevator made a short flight und I was conducted to the best private .urlor of the most expoensive hotel iu town, Barring some ness and an ineffectual effort of his | hair to acquire a definite eolor by turn- ing gray,the change in him was re- markably slight. The same inno- cently quizzical smile was on his lips “held in check by the same knowing twinkle of his eyes, The same no, it was nov the sa but a very similar suit of clothes, indicated recent patronage of a tailor with whom style was no object (although the great in- ventor had been m d the day he- fore) and the same determioati to smoke o cigar ns long (or as short?) as it could be held without cooking his fingers wns apparent, but there was probably 20 cents difference in the price of cigars of yore and now. It wasno formal eall upon the now famous inven- tor, as [ somewhat anticipated. it was a jolly chat over the old times of 1865, and Iidison’s interest in former comrades, his recollection of their for mor traits, and amusing incidents of his association with them was romarkable. I asked if he still had the old volumes of the North American Review., ‘A, yes.” he replied, “and 1 have about twenty thousand volumes besides in my library now. His fame and fortune had increased in stili greater ratio, but his manner was a8 unassuming, his smile as free as twent s before. It would require a4 mol powerfal environment than fame and fortune can provide to affect the boyish simplicity,the quaint huigor s0 plensantly joined in Thomas Alva Edison’s character wtth shrewdaess, strength and wonderful insight into na- ture’s secrots. LR THE ALVARY KISS, A Catoclipmic Pe has Unnerved & mance Which t. Louis Society. The Alvary Kiss has passed into his- tory, says the St. Louis Republican. It is now a mutter of tangible record fact and must be accepted as an histor: along with Washington’s cher: and Willy Wally Phelps’ central bang. Tt has come to stay. [t may be banished from memory, but like the lamblet Mary had it will still linger near. It will crop up like the Ancient Mar- inerat the most unlikely moment. You can’t efface the memory of it—1t will stick to you through life. No one who wa sont at the per- formunce r Weduesday nirht can forget the tremendous sensa- tion the Alvary kiss made. It was as unexpected asa diamond ring in a bowl of consomme. It came in like a zephyr and wont out like a cyclone. In a moment Emma Abbott, Amelie Rives and Ella Wheeler-Wilcox were obliterated. The sleeping goddess was to be awak- ened by the electric kiss of a hero. iegfried approached the slumbering maiden timidly, respectfully, after hav- ing waved hisarins more or less tumul- tuously in the stmosphere. He leaned over the vestal virgin un- til his hot, withering, sivocco-like, 115- in-the-shade-Fahrenheit -breath made her eye-lushes curl and her alabaster brow shrivel and erack. The orchestra glided intoa tremulous, half-frightened movement, full of re- strained anguish and = compressed “‘melos,” ready for use and guaranteed to stanp in any clime. Nearer and nearer. *Time!” A minute elapsed. A lougr, perilous minute full of seconds and burdened with a world of happen- ings A that moment an emotional tidal wayve swept over the vast concourse. An incandescent globe was heard to burst under the troemendous strain. ‘Was the world about to end? A second minute. Fully as long as the first, but of a more intense, flame-swept character. Siegfried did not stir. - Brunnhilde was still entombed in her hypnotic spell. The orowd moved uneasily and— Hark! what was that? The great beli in the adjoining tower sounded the hour. The orchestra was clearly becoming frenzied. The violimsts ware wildly sawing the air with lightning strokes. The piceolo was flying up and down the register with very daring reckless- ne be low thrum of the brass strings became painfully conspicuous. A cataclysm was impending. Three minutes. Was he glued there? Had he lost all track of time and eternity, or was his Waterbury at his Uncle Tafner’s? Who could tell what wild, delirious, lurid memories surged athwart Sieg- fried’s brain? Had he become translated, or had he a cramp in his neck? The veil of impenetrable mystery hung over these vital questions. Noone was there to answer them; Berry Mitchell was invisible. Four. The electric current circulating around the hall had made fourteen laps by this time and passed the quar- ter-mile post. Someone stivred. Tt was only a dude reaching for a gum darop. But the spell was broken. One straw has often fractured the camel’s back. The deed was done, None too soon. The concentrated energy of the whole assemblage was escaping through the gum drop dude, Just as the earth-throb heat finds vent through a two foot geyser. The circus wasover. Brunnhilde was alive. There was a deafening burst of Wag- nerian music to celebrate the successful resuseitation. There was a witd clamor of the popu- lace for an encore. But the heavens fall but once. The rest of the play wus tame and spiritless. Such was the Alvary kiss which set society talking. - In the Dark. Authur Stevens in Chicago Inter-Ocean, When I kissod her that night in the hallway, "T'was 50 dark that nothing was plain; But not being sure but 1'd missed her Why "twas right I stiould kiss hor again, There was darkness on everything round us, 1 was reaching in vaiu for the aoor, And the while T was seeking an exit 1t 50 happened that 1 kissed her some more, Aud | wasn't quite sure as { left her, As to whether she liked it or not; But T know that [ zighed t be back there “The further away that I got. And the next time that 1 cailed, it so happened “That we stood in that hallway once mor; Angd the gashght fell over and around us, s 1 quictly moved to the door, But her red cheeks so roguishly dimpled, Aud her eyes shone $0 wickedly brighte That 1 guessed where her thoughts were astray Aud 1 roached up and turned out the light. ——— A Mitigated Vegetarian, Texas Siftings: Brown—I thought you were a vegetarian, but I hear you eat mutton, Robiuson—I aia not a bigoted vege- tarian, 1 only oat the meat of such animals as live on vogetable food.

There was a time when Na- poleon fearrd his might and had him banished from France. Born in Hol- lane in 1816, he grew up to be a man 1m- bued with all the patriotism that the natives of that doomed territory are known to posscss. He went tothe Prus- sian military school Berlin, then conducted under the cave of Frederick III.
