The general manager of a great rail-
way is absolute in his realm. You may
meet him, says an exchange, OF the
street, or in hotel, or most anywhere
and declare he's the most affable, agree
able, angelic character ever known IN
the history of a people who all want
Office, and who can't get office without
friends. Mr.. General Msnger is affable,
agreeable and angelic in his ottice-with
newspaper men.
Take day off and try and see him
there during business hours.
The offices of Mr.. General Manager
for one of the really great railway sys-
TENS consist of an outer Office, next to
an inner Office adjoining a secretary's
Office attached to a secretary's private
office, which leads to Mr.. Managers
outer Office in front of his private Office,
which connects with a room that,
among well posted railway men, is
known as "the id private" Office
What happens there may be revealed in
the next world. The public is not sup
posed to and doesn't know in this.
This is your first visit, and you tell
the elevator lad in the gentle, yet
Identified tone of one in authority that
YOU are going to the office of the gen
aral manager. You pronounce general
manager in that big G and in style out
of respect to yourself. The boy smiles.
Other people have gone to the general
MANAGERS Office via that boys elevator
who impressed the boy more faverably
than YOU do. The boy empties you on
the right floor, and you open the door
and stand on the outside of railing in
the august presence of q young gentle
man with his hair combed pompadouI
and an aroma of dead cigarettes linger-

THE CHIMES OF. AMSTERDAM.
MINNIE z. KINNEY.

Far up above the city,
In the gray old belfry tower,
The chimes ring out their music
Each day at the twilight hour;
Above the din and the tumult,
And the rush of the busy street,
You can hear their solemn voices,
In an anthem clear and sweet.
When the busy day is dying,
And the sunset gates, flung wide,
Mark path of crimson glory
Upon the restless tide,
As the white-winged ships drop anchor
And furl their snowy sails,
While the purple twilight gathers,
And the glowing crimson pales.
Then from the old gray belfry
The chimes peal out again,
And hush succeeds the tumult,
AS they ring their sweet refrain;
No sound of discordant clangor
Mars the perfect melody,
But each, attuned by master hand,
Has its place in the harmony.
I climbed the winding stairway
That lead to the belfry tower,
AS the sinking sun in the westward
Heralded twilight's hour;
For thought that surely the music
Would be clearer and sweeter far
Than when through the din of the city
1t seems to float from afar,
But 10, as 1 neared the belfry,
No sound of music was there.
Only brazen clangor
Disturbed the quiet air
The ringer stood at keyboard,
Far down beneath the chimes,
And patiently struck the noisy keys,
AS he had uncounted times.
He had never heard the music,
Though every day it swept
Out over the sea and the CITY,
And in lingering echoes crept.
He knew not how many sorrows
Were cheered by the evening strain,
And how many men paused TO listen
AS they heard the sweet refrain.
He only knew his duty,
But he didit with patient care;
But he could not hear the music
That flooded the quiet air;
Only the jar and the clamor
Fell harshly on his ear.
And he missed the mellow Ginning
That every one else could hear.
So we from our quiet watch towers
May be sending sweet refrain,
And gladdening the lives of the lowly,
Though we hear not single strain.
Our work may seem but discord,
Though we do the best we can;
But others will hear the music,
Ii we carry out Gods plan.
Far above the world of sorrow,
And over the eternal sea,
Twill blend with angelic anthem,
In sweetest harmony;
1t will ring in lingering echoes,
Through the corridors of the sky,
And the strains of earth's minor music
viii swell the strains on high.

He answers abruptly:

This is unexpected. You hadn t inn

possibility of his being out. You stand
still, like the greenhorn you are, and
expect in some way that young gentle
man will interest himself in ascertain

upon your disposition to stand till you
starve to death, you venture to inquire

Your name, please?"
You give him card if you have one,
and your name if you haven't, and he
retires TO the next room. Presently
he returns and you are advanced three
degrees, and are escorted to the chair
of the private secretary, who will size
you up quicker than Dan Lamont can
a Missouri Democrat, who will give
you further Instructions. To him you
will convey the information that you
desire to see the general manage, to-
gether with why you want to see him,
and for how long you want to see him.

adjoining. and you wait and wonder I'M

the secretary rsappears and pronounces

pass within the sacred portals. There are

we submit. that it is bad politics for a can
didate aspiring for a reelection by the
joint votes of Republicans and Democrats
to prophesy the election of Gen. Harrison
and intimate that Wyoming's chances for
admission to statehood are better under a
Republican than under a Democratic ad-
ministration, as an incentive to his own
election.
The Mountaneer holds Judge Carey in
high esteem and believes that he has rep

Art of window Dressing.

The shop windows have put on their
last persuasive touches as the season
wanes. The milliners' windows look like
aviaries in which bonnets and hats are
perched like birds of gay plumage. But
nothing Is done to attract the feminine
eye more skillfully than that which allures
he men. The artistic possibilities of
neckties are shown in many ways. One
enterprising dealer has hung his entire
window in deep indigo neckties splotched
with spots and waving lines. The llu-
sion is of a very deep sea aspect and very
taking. On another street red and blue
shirts are made effective by displaying
them in lines so that the bars of color
shall tell for all they are worth.
The art of window dressing we have
learned from the French. Two things
are necessary, a sense of color in masses
and by contrast and an appreciation of
the value of forms repeated. These
Americans are getting, and it marks
progress on the way to becoming an artis-
tic people. A glove shop and a place for
women's gear is a case in point. The
window is laid in black. On small raised
stands are long black silk stockings
Folded with hanging ends, and on each of
these are perched long, yellow kid gloves
knotted exactly in the same way. Above
these, which suggest, by the way, pre-
Raphaelite flowers in a foreground, are
black knitted silk vests, hanging like
banners between the long yellow gloves,
which nave the effect of streamers. In
the center of all is another vest, crossed
by a magnificent pair of yellow embroid-
cred CATERS. The window, with its re-
iterated yellow and black, might serve
for an Austrian rally.-New York Press.

The origin of the great proboscidian
race in general, and of the mammoth and
elephant group in particular, like the
early history of Jeames de la Pluche, is
''wrop in obscurity." All we can say
about them with any confidence is that
they form a comparatively late order of
mammals, whose earliest recognizable
representative in geological time is the
monstrous d~einotherium, an aquatic ami
NAL with a long trunk and with two i'm
mense curved tusks, projecting down.

of his upper jaw. The deinotherium
makes his first appearance upon this or
any other stage in the miocene period;
but as he couldn't, of course, have APP
reared there Qike Aphrodite and Topsy)
without any parents. and as he was then
already a fairly specialized and highly
developed animal, we must take it for
granted that his earlier ancestry. though
ancient and respectable in its own time,
had long passed away, leaving not a
wrack behind, so far as yet known, in the
matter of tangible geological vouchers.
These unknown ancestors, in all proba-
bility. gave birth during their earlier and
more plastic stage-for species, like indi.
viduals. are most readily nodded in their
green youth-to three main family
branches. The senior branch produced

ing the world too full to hold him, about
the close of the tertiary period, demised
suddenly without issue, leaving the honors
of the family in subsequent ages to the
junior members. The second branch pro-
drced the mastodons-huge creatures of
elephantie outline and majestic tread,
most of them with tusks both in the
upper and lower jaws, though the under
pairiwere always the smallest. The third
branch produced the true elephants, in
Guiding both our modern Indian and Afri-
can species, as well as the mammoth him
self, and many other extinct congeners.
All the elephants proper nave but one
solitary pair of tusks, and that pair is
quite correctly located in the upper jaw
instead of the under one. Thus is evolu
ton justified of all her children. The
true elephants made their first appear
ance, so far as known, in the Pliocene
period, that is to say, the epoch immedi-
ately preceding the Great Ice age in Eu-
rope and America. They blossomed out
at once, with all the usual impetuosity OF
youth, into an alarming number of dis
tinct species. Magazine.

One of the most amusing adventures l
yer had with chair bearers was the fol-
lowing: | hired two men to carry me in

eighteen miles {. Our route lay over
some very rougi. granite hills to a tiny
village, where l was to meet some Chris

me honor, extended their favors to nv
hired men, and unfortunately brought out

served for feasts and special occasions.
Of this | was quite ava when | left
the village. We had not gone far before
one of the men showed signs of a collapse.
Two or three times he fell on his knees,
but always declared there wa nothing
the matter with him. Another mile, and
both had succumbed. We were now upon
a ridge of hills, and before us was a wide,
sandy plain, stretching slong for several
miles, with nothing to break the line of
view.
Pausing here until one of the men had
partially recovered, l made him take the
chair upon his back and follow me; and
the other l stuck up against q rock to fend
for himself. My companions endeavor to
carry that chair properly would nave

lose his gravity. By the time we reached
an eating house on the farther side of the
plain we saw No. 2 on the far horizon,

time, and an hour suficed to bring him
up moderately sober. When we arrived
at the city l paid them their stipulated
fare, contenting myself with adding a
little t~eetotal discourse; but they amazed
me by asking for more. "Whatl' l said,
