In Oregon there is railroad which
does profitable business, although a
hand:car and a push-car constitute its
entire equipment. The road, which is
about five miles long, was formerly used
by the Utter Coal Company, but upon
its suspension few years ago the en-
gine was taken off, hand-car substitu-
ted, and a lucrative business in freight
and passenger carriage built up, the
charge being two dollars and fifty cents
ton for freight and fifty cents for pas
sengers. ....

The Railway Station LOafer.


Of all loafers the railway station loafer
is the most loaferishest. He is noisy,
obtrusive, insolent. He sits down and
compels the passenger, the patron of the
railway, to stand up. He kicks your
valise as he passes it. He is never seen
without mouthful of tobacco, and he
always eXpectorates in the direction either
of your valise or your feet. He stands
in your way at the ticket office, although
he is never known togo anywhere. He
looks overyour shoulder at the telegraph
window while you write a message. He
spars and ''rastles" with other hoodlums.
He loudly calls the attention of his fell
low loafers toyour personal appearance,
and makes 'stage aside" remarks for
you to hear as you pass by him. He is
utterly useless, infinitely worthless and
a wholesale nuisance. When heis under
fourteen years of age he should be
fogged and compelled to go to school,
between the years of fourteen and twen-
ty-one he should be sent to the house of
correction or reform school, and after
reaching the age of twenty-one he should
be hanged. .-- tsss
Off with his head. So much for the
| loafer. er.-Burdette.

FLIRTING BY TELEPHONE.
A Young Boston Bank Clerk Who
WAS Slightly Puzzled.

Among the employees at the central
office, says The Boston Globe, Is q
boy whose voics has not yet taken on
the base tones of manhood, but Is
still of . pure soprano quality. He
substituted for young lady operator
one day, and In the course of his
duties, was seen to smile very broadly.
His nearest neighbor q young lady,
seekiug to find the cause of his
amusement, was told that q bank clerk
up town was trying to flrt with him.
No sooner said than the lady con-
ne C Ted this particular band clerk With
all the operators In the room, and all
of them took in the conversation, In
Guiding the answers dictated to the
boy by his lady friends The up town
masher exulted In his easy conquest,
and appointed meeting, saying that
when the central office closed he
would station himself in q certain
doorway, and that the fair dsmHel
might know he was the proper party
by q nosegay he would wear In his
buttonhole.
At the appointed time about a
dozen of the girls proceeded to walk
leisurely up the street In groups OF
three and four. In the street door
way stood the hero, faultlessly ar
rayed, with kid gloves and cane, and
the SIthetic bouquet. As the first
group approached he ran his eyes
pleasantly over their faces In search Of
some :oken of recognition. But they
passed him by, laughing In
their sleeves. Tle same treat,
ment was given by the next group,
who could tclrcely restrain theil
laughter at the excitemen. of the ele-
CANT young man. AS the last group
approached, his excitement got the
better of him. and he stepped lightly
forward, bowinG and smirking, ant
said in hls most captivating way
(Which one Is it2 Which one is IT.
The girls mastered the situation sufii
clently to repreas the faintest nhadov
of smile, and coldly stared at hin
without word and passed on.
