One day last week the agent of the
Santa Fe railroad went to pay the COM
;pany's taxes, and the treasurer refused
TO accept his check. He went away.
but soon returned with a dray, on
which was about 700 pounds Of silver,
b,Ning $1,000. The treasurer had to ac-
cepS the silver, and then employ dray
to haul it to the bank. A little scrap
of paper would have done the job neat

silver, and plenty Of it. We continue to
axe it at par at this office. The rail-
road paid a man for his time and trouble
in bringing that silver here, and then
chuckled at the joke it Thought it had
played on the treasurer, but we agree
with the treasurer that the joke is on
the railroad company. We wish some
body would play that joke on us.
