what trains had to be run. says the Detroit
Free Press The engineers and conductors on
the fast trains stood by the company but the
brakeman were out. The superintendent
hired one big, bulky fellow who gave his name
as Boscome, TO act as brakeman on the Chica 20
limited
Now. boss" he said to the superintendent,
you Just tell me what to do and you bet your
boots | II do it. Do you want any strikers
killed.
NO, no. Don't you NEEDLE with them unless
they NEEDLE with you. You won't have very
much to do unless something goes wrong with
the train. Then you help as much as you can,
and do what the conductor tells you to do"
them"
Just shout the names Of the stations"
When the Chicago limited started out at
| Q O'Clock that night Boscome was on one of the
sleepers. Every one was in mis- berth trying to
| get to seep, when BOscorle put his head in the
| door and yelled;
| "brentons Corners"
"Fo' de l aud, " cried the porter aghast, ''you
muSsent call de names out II sleeping can. y"
You tend to your blackin' boots aud don't
don't you furge. it"
| People put their heads out from between cur
tains and wanted TO know what lunatic was
aboard. The sleeping car conductor e1postu-
/ lated with Boscome, but every time a lot OF
lights flashed past the new brakeman yelled
| 'MugginS Junction" or Whatever name was
next on his list. The train conductor at last
came along and said he would put Boscome off,
| but the s:alwart brake sn asked him to try it
1 on if he thought he could do II.
Il ant got nuthin agin you, conduc." said
Boscome but I'm a doin' what the sqperiu-
| tendent told me to do, ami you bet Tn goin to
| obey orders. STIGGENs CRossING."
| the conductor pulled the bell rope and the
| train slowed up.
ANYTHING wrong with the train. conduc!"
asked BoscOme anxiously.
Yes. The alr-brakes on fire. You run back
there about a rod and you'll find bucket of
water beside the track. Bring it to me-"
As the train started up again the conductor
shouted to Boscoms, who was trying to catch
up:
Next time you get on train you do what
| the conductor tells you TO- Quit running after
| us; you can't catch the limited. Tramp back
and report to the superintendent"

The Augusta Exposition.

Savannah is bound to give Augusta a
helping hand in the matter of her exposi-
ton. And the exposition is not wholly for
Augustus benefit The purpose of it is to
promote the interests of the entire Savan
nah valley. That it will be the best expo
sition Augusta ever had, there is no doubt,
and that it will exceed anything OF the
kind ever seen in this state there are good
reasons for believing. 1t will be an exhibit
of the products OF wide section or coun-
try. and also of novelties gathered from
many sources.
a committee Of citizens of Augusta will
visit the trade bodies to-day and explain
what they want from Savannah. They want
Savaunabs splendid military organizations
f day, and they ought to receive all pos
sible encouragement A feature Of the ex-
position will be the military display, and it
will not DO complete without Savanna
help. The officers of the military companies
have given the committee a favorable
answer. and the committee hope that the
employers of the members of the companies
Will be disposed to make little sacrifice in
order TO lend the exposition helping hand.
Il is pretty certain that the committee will
return to Augusta feeling that their mission
to Savannah has been entirely successful.

They tell funny story down town of
a business man who employs large
number of men. all of whom have to use
the same elevator. There is much run
ming in and out during the day, and the
elevator is kept going constantly.
Recently the business man went east
and married. He brought his wife
back to st. Louis. He thinks almost as
much of her as he does of himself, and
those who know him vii. understand
what a degree of admiration that i'm
plies. One day lately, when the elevator
was crowded on every trip, the elevator
boy walked into the great mans Office.

Tell her to come up in the elevator"
said the husband with dignity. land
don let any one else get in the elevator
with her. If anybody tries TO crowd in
you report him to me and III discharge
him"
The elevator boy grinned, and the wife
came up alone. But in an hour after
ward every employe in the building had
beard of the order, and now its consid-
cred great joke for a man going up to
peep il the elevator and say to the boy,

why the Canal Is Crooked.

In connection with the canal which
Mehemet Ali caused to DO cut by I'M
skilled Fellah labor, to connect the waters
OF the Nile with the sea at Alexandria, a
characteristic story of the Napoleon of
Egypt has been told. A French engineer,
in conversation, ventured to criticise the
viceroy's plan for the canal while thu
work was in course of completion. Your
highness," he said, will pardon me for
suggesting that your canal will be very
crooked" "Do rivers in France always
run in straight ine" promptly asked
the pasha. Certainly not" responded
the surprised Frenchman. Ibid not
Allah make them?"
"Assuredly, your highness," replied
the engineer, who thought the question:
er's wits were wandering. swell, them"
answered Mehemet Ali, triumphantly,
do You think you or know better than
Allah how water ought to run? imi-
tated him in my canal, otherwise it soon
would be dry ditch, not canal" The
Frenchman was silenced, if not con-
WINGED, and the canal was certainly made
very crooked, and SO remains. San Fran

Discrimination.

A surprising thing is the unintelligent
Judgment that many people form as to
the contents Of newspapers. They swear
by their favorite journal and dispute
statements that appear in other journals,
although such statements may DE merely
official reports and authoritative reports
of occurrences verified on their face.
How vastly superior are those who have
the intelligence to read newspapers be-
tween the lines, TO know when informa-
ton is trustworthy, to make allowance
for bias, TO take things with the salt that
seasons then.-New York Sun
