other night near Prescott The train which
left here that evening was manned by
pretty merry crew, and it was getting still
merrier for there was a keg of beer on board
for the boys At Prescott the board was out
for the train to stop there TO let a second No.

and went skipping by. The baggageman-
they keep sharp lookout now a,days, for
they feel little nervous noticed the board,
and jumped and pulled the rope and the air
brake, and stopped the train. Just as She
stopped No. 13 was seen coming. They just
got back TO Prescott in time. 1t was close

SWALLOWED BY QUICKsAND.
An Engine Falls Into Pit of Quick

"Tn the construction OF the Kansas

roads, said Fl. l.. Carter, n railroad
contractor of St. Joseph, the other day
TO II representative of the Industrial
World, "onc difficulty Of frequent oc-
currence was met with which, as far as
my experience goes, is unique in rail-
road history. | refer to the trouble
arising from quicksands, From west
ern Kansas to the mountains quick
sands are to be found in nearly every
stream, no matter how small, and TO
successfully. bridge them required
an expenditure out of all proportion to
the size of the stream to be crossed.
We tried pile driving, but the
longest piles disappeared without touch
ing the bottom. Then filling with earth
and stone was attempted, and met with
equally poor success, as the quicksand
was apparently capable of swallowing
the entire Rocky mountains. The only
means OF crossing was found to be to
build short truss bridges across them.
This was very expensive, but was the
only thing to be done. AS an instance
OF this practically bottomless nature OF
the quicksands, | may cite the case of
an engine that ran Off the track ut
River Bend, ahout ninety miles from
Denver, on the Kansas Pacific. The
engine, a large freight, fell into II
quicksand. and in twenty minutes had
entirely disappeared. Within two days
the company sent out a gang OF men
| and wrecking train to raise the en-
gine. TO their surprise they could not
| find trace of it. Careful search
was made. magnetlzed rods were
sunk to the depth of siXty-five feet, but
no engine could be found. 1t had sunk
beyond human ken, and from that day
| to this has never been discovered. Cat
| tie and horses are frequently lost, the
| only animal that is safe being a mule
the only animal that never gets caught.
| No greater instance of the intelligence
of this -maligned quadruped can
be cited than the skill and care with
which it avoids an unsound bottom. As
its hoofs are much smaller and narrow

down in places where Il horse could
safely pass. Recognizing this fact
whenever mule feels the ground Civ
ing away under his feet it draws back
instantly and cannot be induced to adj

city, but now many, and those the finest, were
seen upon the streets 1t was but short
time ago when one boat was sufficient for the
needs of those who visited Lake Manawa.
Now four beautiful steamers sailed
upon its waters. In behalf OF the

the selfishness and thoughtlessness of
the rich that the growth of "tipping"is

not oppressive to them, it has become
serious tax on persons OF moderate in

meals in restaurants. The man who
can afford to pay anywhere from 81 TO

ter, which is the lowest amount that he
will give the waiter. To the man or
woman of moderate means who takes
three meals II day at restaurant where
the service is sufficiently good TO be
agreeable the necessity OF paying 80
cents q day for tips is serious addi-
ton to the expenses of living. If his
three meals cost from 81. 80 to 50 the in
crease is from rs 20 per cent. Over
800 a year compulsorily spent in tips
is sum which if saved would make
to many people the difference between
continual pinching and a fair degree of
comfort. Ten cents is the lowest tip"
that can be given in good second
class restaurant. Now, if Il man has

tea or coffee for lunch at the cost OF 80
or 40 cents, he is paying % per cent.
