Every prisoner of war should be pen
stoned. Among the many who served
their country we'll, none served her bet
ter than the men who, captured in the
forefront of battle, accepted the worst
of fates without murnur in order that
her salvation might be secured. To re-
fuse such men as those the trifliRg pen
sion asked for them is mean and migrate
full to the last degree.
Probably one of the most audacious
frauds ever perpetrated in this country
has just come to light. Two fellows BY
name Leek and McCuen, living south of
Winona, owned ten head of cattle and
had seventy five other head under their
care. These eighty-five cattle they mort
gagged at number of banks, and last
week skipped the country. They got
about $500 for their ten head of cattle.

The Railroad Brakeman's Risks.

The danger of sudden accidental death or
manning is constant and great, and the bare
record of the numerous cases is acutely sug
gestive of inexpressible suffering; but,
strange to say, it does not worry the average
brakeman much. Though probably thou
sand trainmen are killed in this country
every year and four or five thousand injured
by collisions and derailments, in coupling
cars, falling off trains, striking low over head
bridges, and from other causes, no one brake
man, from what he sees in his own experience,
realizes the danger very wildly As in
other dangers which are constant but inevi-
table, familiarity breeds carelessness which
is closely akin to contempt. Falling from
trains is really serious danger, because the
most ceaseless caution-next to impossible
for the average man to maintain-is neces
sary to avoid missteps. This will be practi
cally abolished when the long wished for all
brake comes into use, as that will obviate the
necessity of riding on the tops of the cars

Turkey Thoughts.

What has the gobler to return thanks
for?
Would it be right to eat the last turkey
that is left?
Why do we say turkey is gobbled up
when it is gobbled down?
Prayer of the turkey; "If you must eat
me, eat me quick, amen"
On Thanksgiving everybody sounds the
Tom Toms" without using the drums
sticks.
Eating turkey is as near as nine-tenths
of the people will come to giving thanks
next Thursday.
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, but
don't you SAY turkey about it. or there
will be general gobble.
When Thanksgiving appears, the COB
bier disappears and this appears to be the
way with all things the world over.
Next Thursday turkey will be sur
rounded by the Americans, yet they will
doubtless experience q great deal CT uE-
easiness.
What the turkey needs for few days
is high protection. The higher the better
for the turkey. Free trade is death tc
the gobber
The last lay of the turkey hen-'or
the stomach" of the thanksgiver. This
is not eggsactly what we wanted to say
but we've got to shell out something.
Many will feast on the meat of old desC
roosters next Thursday and swear it wa
young turkey. The man who will thu
deceive his stomach don't deserve pen
sion.
After the Americans have "eat Turke,
up" they will probably go to Guinea
and if they succeed in putting it down
they will have something to squawI
about.
The war with turkey next Thursda
will be carried into the interior, and ther
can be nothing more certain than tina
many Of the turks" will get the "stuffl
knocked out of them"

STEAM HEATING SUCCESS.
The New Arrangement for Warming
Passenger Coaches on the C., RI. 4
r., and the satisfa elton it Gives---
How il Works.

r.. and the Satisfaction it Gives---
How it Works.
The experiment of the Rock Island
road with the system of heating passen-
ger coaches with steam direct from the
locomotive is proving great success.
The new vestibule express train on the
Denver line warmed in this manner,
as are several coaches on the st. Paul
flyers. The method is so simple that it is
wonderful. 1t is so cheap, too, so effec-
tive. 80 Clearly. Live dry steam is taken
from the top of the engine dome and
conveyed down beneath the foot board
and tender to the cars in a flexible pipe,
to an improved auxiliary heater sus-
pended under each car floor and in
communication with a valve chamber
and radiating pipes above. The heat
ing pipes return to suction pump on
the locomotive, whereby a complete Cir
culation may be made around train,
the condensed water being sent by
the pump to the tender. Then. too. the
auxiliary heater is connected with the
radiating pipes within the coach, aud
with the main return pipe, so that the
return circulation may pass through
an auxiliary boiler in such q manner that
the boiler and the radiating pipes will
make complete self-contsined circuit for
each coach. The auxiliary boiler is sup
piled with water by the drip from the
radiating pipes and steam cylinder.
The patent of this steam heater is
based on the claim that the main steam
pipe, intermediate circulating pipes for
each car, and the steam cylinder for con-
trolling the passage of steam to the cir,
culation pipes, combined with an suxll>
larry boiler or reservoir, and deep pssss-
ges connecting the steam cylinder with
the auxiliary boiler, and an exhaust fol-
