general manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul road, noticed the awkward or
careless movements of man who was test
ing the wheels of train from which Mr.
Merrill had alighted at Austin. Without
much ceremony he took the hammer out of
the mans hands. The workman snatched it
back and went on with his task after few
not complimentary comments on Mr.. Mer-
rill's action and his general appearance.
Subsequently the following colloquy ensued
between the employee and spectator:
"Do you know who that was?'
s'Divil bit.''
"Why; that was s.. S. Merrill ~
"Holy Jases phatl do?''

Afterwards, when the conductor had
shouted "Al aboard - the son of Erin awk-
wardly approached Mr.. Merrill, and while
nervously twisting refractory lock of red
dish hair, delivered himself as follows:

didn't know was spanking to you out there.
You know ! mustn't pay attention to every

unitedly to attack the Republicans if
not, that organization will reap another adj
vantage by Democratic folly, and the number
of such advantages is already large enough.
