"I'll pull out your eye If you

on single thread" said the pin.
While they were conyersing

an item regarding game which should en-

keys sent to them from Texas. Then he
says that while down there recently he
saw great many wild turkeys in the
baggage cars, but was overwhelmed by
one lot which was taken on at Childress,
a station on the Fort Worth s line. Three
hunters, who had been out along the Red
river, brought in q deer and 15S wild tur-
keys, the result of one days shooting
Mr.. Ady says he is informed that the Red
river valley is an excellent feeding ground
for the turkeys, and that there are thou
sands of them in reaching distance from
the railroad.

KANSAS CITY Mo. Dee. 27.-Although
the report of the dismissal of the collec-
tors on the Santa Fe Railroad has been
frequently denied, it is now perfectly
understood by the conductors that after

trains A collector said this morning ::

of my dismissal, nor do I think any of
the men have been given notice, yet we
are preparing to get oaF at a moment S
notice. think that the OFFICIALS have ac-
cepted the offers of the conductors to take
charge of the trains and are, keeping the
fact quiet. The, officials in this city pro-
fess to have received no official notice of
the removal and are disinclined to dis
cuss the matter. Shortly after the pro-
posal OF President Strong to the engineers
and firemen to surrender percentage of
their wages for few months, the COLI
ductors offered to take complete charge
of the trains. As this meant an annual
saving to the company of nearly 500 900
it is believed that the offer was accepted.

Our Railroad R;aqs.

Professor Bryce appears to have been
profoundly impressed by the rail-
road kings of this country, says the Bos-
ton Herald. In his new book on America
he expresses the opinion that these men
have more power than, perhaps. any one
in political life except the president, and
the speaker, who, after all, hold
theirs for only four years and two years
while the railroad monarch may keep his
far life. When the master of one OF the
Peat Western lines travels toward the
Pacific in his palace car his journey is like
a royal progress. Governors of states
and territories bow before him, legisla-
lures receive him in solemn session, cities
and towns seek to propitiate him, and his
influence upon the growth of the country
and the fortunes of individuals finds no

a Cure for Hyaxophobia.
Diario de Centric Americo.

A Mexican paper says that in the vii
lage of Tlaoayapan of Morales, district of
Yautepec, grows shrub known by the
name of Margarita, the mastication of
the leaves of which has been discovered
to be radical and instantaneous cure
for the hydrophobia. A woman named
Margarita was attacked by rabies, made
use by chance and for the first time
of said leaves, and to her we owe this
discovery. Afterward there was cured
in the same manner her sister, n native

The local lodge of Brotherhood of Rail-
road Brakeman was visited yesterday by
Mr.. 7 7. Slattery, third vice-grand
master. He Is visiting the different
lodges located in the state for the pur-
pose of iustructing and advising for the
prosperity of the order. The growth of
this order is phenomenal, and at no time
in its history has it been more so. They
are at present receiving from $50 to 200
members a day. 1t now comprises 10 900
members, 5000 of whom are conductors,
the remainder are yard masters, train
baggage masters, brakemeH and switch
men. During the last quarter, through
its beneficiary, it distributed about SCI, =
600 TO the widows and orphans of de-
ceased members, and to those who have
been so badly injured as to be no longer
able TO fill the position of brakeman.
Twenty thousand dollars of this was dis
tributed December Is, in time TO give
Christmas cheer to many a home which
but for the kindly forethought of those
On whom they are dependent and this
order, they would NenOt have known.
There are PA lodges and fifty applica-
tons for charters throughout the United
