We were very much surprised the other
day to see John Beckel driving very
swiftly down the street toward the Third
ward. Meeting one of the boys we ask
ed what was the matter and learned that
a tobacco tub at G. j. Miller's cigar store
had sprung leak. Wishing to see how
our friend Miller was coming out with
the refractory tub we dropped in. We
found Charley in a great sweat looking
very mad and wondering why Beckel
didn't hurry up. He said he had got to
wait there until Beckel got back with his
hammer and calking iron so he could
calk that darned tub. Of course we
couldn't stay to see but no pc he got out
of the scrape all right.
| Lanesboro Journal:-The life of To-
comotive engineer is not the pleasantest
| calling in the world and the man who
| follows it cannot pose as dude, yet it is
a position, than which there are none
more honorable, and calls for intelligence
| and trustworthiness. The members of
| the noble Brotherhood of Locomotive
engineers, may be rough Of speech and
| not always arrayed in fine linen, but
| their hearts are always right and if ad-
| versity comes to one of their number
thoir hands go out to him to aid him IN
hif struggle, and to see that his loved
ones do not suffer. These are the kind
of manly men who belong to Austin
Lodge No. 102. B. of L. E., and we hope
peace, happiness and prosperity will al
ways be theirs.
