"All Hands Below"

A story is told Of q parrot who Tod al
ways lived on board ship, but wi es-
capped at one of the Southern ports and
took refuge in church. Soon sfterward,
when the congregation assembled and the
minister began preaching to them in his
earnest fashion, saying there was no vif-
would go to endless perdition unless they
speedily repented. Just as he spoke
the sentence, up spoke the parrot
from his hiding. place: GAIL hands
belowl' To say that "all hands" were
startled would be mild way of putting
it. The peculiar voice and unknown
source had much more effect on them
than the parsons voice ever had. He
waited a moment, and then, shade or
two paler, he repeated the warning. "All
hands below |" rang out from somewhere.
The preacher started from his pulpit and
looked auxiously around, inquiring if any
body had spoken. "All hands belowl"
was the only reply, at which the entire
panic-stricken congregation got up, and .
moment afterward they all bolted for the
doors, the preacher trying his best to be
frs, and during the time the mischievous
bird kept up his yelling, "All hands be.
lowW There was one old woman pres
ent who was lame and could not get out
Is fast a. the rest, and in short time she
was left entirely alone. Just as she was
about to hobble out the parrot few down,
and alighting on her shoulder, yelled in
her ear, "All hands below!" mo, no,
Mister Devil" shrieked tho old woman,
"you can't mean me. don't belong
here. 60 to the other church across the
way"

c.B.& Q.-APRosPEROUs CORPORATION.

The Chicago papers of Saturday publish
copious extracts from the annual report of
the directors of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad to the stockholders, from
which we condense few facts and figures.
The total earnings of tke road and leased
branches during the year were $l2,051,794
tbeing an increase over 1915 of $295, $780, and
the operating expenses were $685. $40, leav-
ing net earnings for the year S., $40, de.
crease on 1915 of ?25,S534G. After paying
81 ,99l $50 interest on bonds, this lett SJl91,-
292 as net income for the year. Of this sum
SO, 740,065 were paid as dividends upon the
stock of the company, amounting to S27,59S,
242, being about 10 per cent, which, though
very fair income considering the times,
would not be large, but tor the fact that the
stock of this company has been pretty extern
/ svely watered, and to the original stockhold.
erS, therefore, must be equal to % or 30 per
cent. at least.
I The total funded debt of the company al
the beginning CT the year was S27, 537 SO
which was decreased during the year by S3S,
ESQ, leaving the present debt $2' ,0Ol,3 so, up
on which the company appears to be paying
about per cent. interest. The total number
of miles owned and leased Same as owned
by the company is 1913.
The report concludes rs follows:
! In SUNNI ing up results, il will be seen thai
we have passed through u year of great dull
! ness in general business: but, with the help
of fair crops in the country through which
7 the roai passes, have accumulated a surplu:
