Joking Green Hands.
New York Recorder.

New York Recorder.
Railroad employees delight in
rlaying tricks on each other and
on green hands. and sometimes they
carry their jokes to unpleasant and
even dangerous lengths. On GER
tain railroad in this state a break
man on a passenger tram was
lounging around the terminal depot
one day waiting for his train to
pull out, when he was approached
| by a young man who desired in
formation regarding the person to
whom he should apply for a place
as break man.
aWell, Pm the man that hires
them" said the breakman, Winking
at the bystanders; ''and l'm want
ing man too; but you're green at
the business, amt you.
The applicant admitted that he
was, but reminded his questioner
that determination and perseverance
was almost equal to experience.
sThat's So" said the delighted
breakman, meditatevely. Coo up
stairs to the first room on the right
and ask for Charlie Hepburn. Tell
him you're going out on No. s and
that YOU want watch and time
card.
The man unhesitatingly obeyed:
and walking into the office said
Familiarity
II want to see Charles Hepburn.
A slight flutter ran around the
Office and the general superinten-
dent, turning around in lis chair,
said:
"Wel] | am he. What do you
want?"
"a watch and a time card,o said
the young man nonchalently. Il N
going out on No. s.
"Who said so?" asked the aston
ished superintendent.
s'The man that hired me, re-
piled the other.
"Well, YOU n just come down
stairs with me and see if you can
find him. If you can Tli give him
a run that he'll like" said the en-
ragged great Mogul.
But the brakeman's train had
pulled out and the superintendent
never found out who he was.

HeTs A Gentleman.

In dingy room at 80 Wesson
street, Chicago, Mrs. Lizzie Griffith
lay Tuesday night, suffering from
bruises inflicted by her husband.
who then occupied a cell at the
police station. The couple were
married in Scotland dozen years
ago. Tuesday morning the neigh
borbood in which they live was
aroused by cries Of ssMurder!o
''Help!" s'He's killing me!o Griffith
had his wife down on the floor
choking her when policeman
burst in the door. He had kicked
and pummeled her until she was
one mass of bruises, a:d blood was
flowing from dozen wounds. The
kitchen floor looked like that of a
slaughter house and the woman's
dress was soaked with blood. The
patrol was called and Griffith, fight
ing and disappearing, was carted
off to the station. 4 nelghborlng
doctor was called in and for three
hours he labored to stop the flow
of blood that poured in torrents
from the woman's head and body.
At one time it was thought she
would die. One of the blood YES
sells in her nose had been ruptured.
She lay Oh a filthy bed with her
1O-year-oId boy beside her Her
face was terribly swollen and dis
colored. She could not look cut of
her eyes. Black rings encircled
them. The sheet and coverlet were
blood-bespattered.
"My husband" said the woman
in a feble voice, ''is a gentleman
and he'll pay my doctor bills. The
person who sent for the patrol wag-
on to take him away was very
impudent, Robert Griffith is as
good a man as ever stepped III
shoe leather, and if he beats me it
is nobody's business. This is not
the first time he has whipped me
within an inch of my life, but
forgive hiH3. He's a good man
there is no better in Chicago-ano
the person who sent for the police
had little to do. Roberet Griffith
is a gentleman, and | am lady
enough not to appear against hin
in court" Mrs Griffith is about 4
years old.
