General Buffers Hand.Orean.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader has heard the first true
version of the monkey and hand organ
story which has been privately told in
army circles, now and then, but not al
ways correctly. A treasury official said
to Butler: "Well, General Butler, I have
no doubt these accounts are all right, and
If you will explain satisfactorily one other
item I will pass them. Here is a charge
of $50 for a hand-organ and a monkey,
Now, what possible use a hand-organ and
a monkey would be to the United States
Government, or to you as its General, I
cannot see."
General Butler then told the following:
SIT was the hottest time of my campaign
about Baltimore. The Confederates were
very close-mouthed, and I could get no
inside news of their doings. One day saw
a great crowd gathering round a man with
a hand-organ who had a very large mon
key. AS I drew nearer I noticed that
the man playing the organ looked very
like a smart Irishman whom I had
among my soldiers. I said nothing, but
went back to my headquarters, and CALL
ing up the Irishman, in whom 1 had per-
feet confidence, I gave him some money
and told him to go and buy out the mu-
stefan. He did SO. He bought the
.hand-organ, the monkey and the mu-
sician's clothes, and paid $50 for them.
Dressed in these I sent him out as q spy.
He travelled all the surrounding country
and gave me some very valuable infor-
nation. This information was worth
thousands of dollars to the United States
Government, and" concluded Gen.ral
Butler, ':you can thus see whyit paid the
United States to- pay $50 for a hand
organ and a monkey"
1t is needless to say that the explana-
ton was satisfactory.

A Level. Headed Brakeman.

A number of years ago a stubby young
man with a big mouth and solid-looking
head was taken on the Galesburg di-
vision of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad as a freight brakeman.
he seemed to pay no attention to the
sports INDUCED in by his fellow brake
men when off duty, but spent most of his
time around the shops learning how to
run engines and picking up information
about the machinery of %railroading.
One day a tall, clerical-looking man was
riding in the caboose of the train on
which this young man was employed.
The tall man seemed to take a kindly
interest in the young brcakman, who an
swered his questions cautiously, but did
not permitthe passenger to interfere in the
least with his duty. Finally the train
came to a standstill, and it was found
that it had met another freight train at q
station where the side track was not long
enough to hold either train. The prob
lem presented was: How were the trains
to get by each other In this day that
would be solved very easily, but it so
happened that at that time, when rail-
reading was a very different matter,
neither conductor had encountered such
a condition of affairs and both supposed
that n of the trains would have t,
back up to a station with a longer side
track. AS the conductors were discuss
ing this the tall passenger and the
young brakeman came up to them.
When the young man understood the
situation he said to his conductor, re-
s%pectfully:
"You can get BY"
GLOW, I'd like to know 2" said the
conductor.
The young brakeman picked up a stick
and marked out in the mud what is now
known to every railroad man as "sawing
BY" The trains were sawed and went
their way. The next day the young man
was called to the division superintend-
ent's Office, where he met the tall passen-
ger-Superintendent H.. H. Hitchcock
and was taken into his more immediate
employ, where he learned telegraphy and
became a train dispatcher. In a short
time the Office of master of transportation
was created, and the young man was
given that place. From that day he has
grown rapidly, and now the man who
rides over the Chicago & Alton Railroad
on the general managers pass reads that
young brakeman's name at the foot of it
