The recent snowslide on the Pacific ex-
tension of the Great Northern occurred
between Java and Essex, switching
points about half way down the west
side of the mountains. Trees, rocks and
snow swept down the mountain like an
Alpine avalanche, striking a snow pillow
train and hurting it from the track. The
engine and tender were carried fifty feet
down the embankment and the rest of
the train buried out Of sight. A. L.

James samuels, strange story.

James Samuels, Of Dubuque, a sergeant
in the Twenty-first Iowa. was one of the
seventy-fve Americans who went to
Cuba twenty years ago or the steamer
Virginius and were shot by the Span
iards at Santiago. His name appeared
in the list of tine dead. and his family
mourned him as such. They have just
received a letter from him written at the
Soldiers home. Coyington, Ind. He states
that he was shot through the head and
left for dead. Chance friends nursed
him back to health, but the shot de-
stroyed his memory, and the past was a
blank. By some means unknown to him
he recently reached Chicago, where he
was recognized by an army comrade,
who brought him to Covington, where
his memory was restored. Cor. Chicago

The Wild Career of u Bogus Chicago Ham.
Some small boys fastened a wire to
one of those wooden hams which arc
used for advertising purposes, and to the
other end of the wire attached a lot of
fish hooks, then dropped the fish hooks
into the Madison street cable slot at
Madison street, near Halsted. The hooks
quickly took hold of the running cable,
and away sped the ham toward the set
ting sun.
At Green street it struck and tossed
into the mud handsomely dressed Jim
De Meyer, the wine connoisseur. At
LOOMS street it struck an Italians hand
cart laden with fresh roasted peanuts
and popcorn and scattered the load over
the road. The ham journeyed right on,
leaving the son of Italy and the street
newsboys to fight over the peanuts and
popcorn. A bicycle rider was upset at
Lincoln street and slightly injured by
colliding with the flying imitation pork.
AS the frayed edged ham danced along
lear Western venue it caught the eye
of a nearsighted saloon keeper.
What a nice addition muttered he,
ito my free lunch counter" He grabbed
a board, threw himself into position like
a grand stand ball player as he comes to
bat, and as the ham approached him he
swiped it about amidship, broke the wire
and acquired the ham. The loafers who,
clad in their best clothes, stood lazily
smoking cigars on the sidewalk, gently
led the HIN grabbing saloon keeper into
his saloon neal by.-Chicago Tribune

The venerable Charles Brigham, who
was employed in the Boston p~ostoffice
for SO years, gives some amusing remi-
~niscences of the ''good old times of 1888,
and later, when the mail was transport
ed from incoming steamers on wheel
barrows and dumped unsorted on the
floor. In such cases the clerks had to
work 20 hours a day till the rush was
over. and that on a salary of $500 a year.
For many years the Office was in the old
~statehouse, and Is men did all the work.
Boston is now alleged to have one of the
best Offices in the United States, and the
postmaster recently remarked regarding
the financial affairs: Massachusetts is
one of the few states that pays. Our

twice for promotion The examining
board reported in his favor both times. but the

not regard him as morally fit
for promotion and reported against 1T both
