How a Boy Began His Career.

Some five years ago many people
who happened TO pass a certain news
paper Office might have noticed a
bright faced lad of about IL years of
age, who kept his eye fixed on the en-
trance TO the counting room. When
ever any one issued from the office, if
a grown person, the boy would ad-
dress him, with an eager glance: Are
you lookln' for a boy, sirf"
He came on duty every morning
early, fresh, bright, cheerful, and APP,
parently undismayed by the unbroken
current of noes" hat flowed by him.
In a week he disappeared. Last week,
while tho writer was chatting with
the manager of one of the lar
largest wholesale establishments in the
west, a bright, active young fellow,
with cheeks full of color and eyes
shining with good nature and eager
ness, came up and handed the man
ager a paper. 1t was the lad who had
stood before the newspaper office in
search of a man who wanted q boy.
WHO is that lad2 He seems above
the average"
II picked him off the sidewalk in
front of a newspaper office. He is one
of the brightest, quickest and most
faithful of the boys in this establish.

A NEW BRAKE.
The Ing ruIous Hallway Device of Two
Rswlins Men.

Railway men have long looked for a
system of brakes which would obviate
some of the present difficulties incident to
applying friction TO the wheels to stop
them, says the Salt Lake Tribune. On
heavy, long grades, the brakes cause the
wheels to heat and expand, often resulting
in producing breaks in the wheel through
unequal expansion, while if applied SO
firmly as to stop the, wheel turning. fat
places are made on the periphery. Then
again, when it is required to stop a train
suddenly, the common brake, if it stops
the wheel from turning, permits the train
to slide on the track, because the bearing
is so small as to offer little resistance to
the rails. NJ. w. Dillon and Harry Ball
of Rawlins, Wyo., old railway boys, have
been working on this problem, and have
taken steps to secure a patent for a very
commendable device.
They place the brake between the
wheels, to act on the rails instead of the
wheels. 1t is simply a casting like a sec
ton of a car wheel flattened out, so as to
give a straight bearing twenty inches long,
with the two ends turned up like sled
runners or a section of a circle. These
castings are mounted on the under side of
a frame, supported on the underside ofthe
truck beam, and so arranged as to be
thrown down by means of levers, SO as to
throw the entire weight OF the car on
these brake shoes or sleds if desired.
These brakes are held an in,h or so above
the rail. and in case a wheel or axle
breaks, it at once become a support for
the truck. Its lange will keep on the in
side of the track, and in case a wheel
jumps the track, this brake will help keep
the truck on the rails, thus making it a
safety appliance. Ii is to be tested soon
in actual service on the road.

GONE TO MISSISSIPPI.
Nr. Jas p. CALDWELL TO Practice Law
In the South.

Jas. P. Caldwell, who has been CHIEF
clerk at the land Office for more than two
years, left for Mississippi last night and
will soon resume the practice of law in
that state.
Mr.. Caldwell is an attorney and scholar
of exceptional accomplishments. As q
counsellor at law he has few equals in the
United States, and particularly excels in
land jurisprudence. AS a scholar, he is
master of the two prime dead languages
and half a dozen modern tongues, while his
literary and scientific learning is such as is
rarely acquired only by a lifetime ofstudy.
and he is still an industrious student. He
is a true gentleman, a keen observer, and
having travelled extensively, is among the
most companionable of men. He is of a
retiring disposition and very few Chey-
enne people knew of his genius and
accomplishments.
Mr.. Caldwell Ii a northern man by birth
and a graduate of the same college as Pre-
sident- Elect Harrison, and for the matter
of colleges, also of Oxford. When quite
young he went south and affiliated with
the chivalric and hospitable element. He
was a brave officer in the Confederate
army. but the writer is certain that he is
thoroughly reconstructed
May God speed Caldwell, whose many
virtues overshadow his one fault.

and Miss Mercer. Everyone is welcome
to this grand mass. Strangers will be
provided with seats. The cathedral will
be prufusely decorated. The usual indul-

The scheme WIN work.

The LEADER advocates the building OF
a Touring mill in Cheyenne. A few years
ago such an idea would have been hooted
down, but now the case begins to look
differently. The high lands all about
Cheyenne will become the best small grain
producers. There may be an occasional
season when it will be too dry. but ever
then it will prove a greater success than
in a vast territory to the east of it where
grain is sown regularly every spring. A
country that produces grass like that of
Wyoming will produce grain.
