SMASHED THE CRYSTAL.
Curious to Know Whether an Oft-Re

Curious to Know whether an Oft-Re-
peated Tale Was True.
To say what you mean and mean
what you say is a good rule to follow
always An amusing story which illus
trates the value of this course was told
some years ago by an old gentleman
who was visiting rolling mill for the
first time. He had heard wonderful
stories of the machinery in the mill,
and he was DESTROYS of putting some Of
them to test.
81 have been told" said he to the
hammer man, as he watched the great
steam hammer rising and falling. that
agood hammer man can break the crys-
tai of a watch with that thirty-ton
hammer"
"Yes, sir" said the hammer man; ut
can be done"
Il should like to see it." said the old
gentleman, eagerly feeling in his watch
pocket
81 can do it, SIR"
''And will you?" said the visitor,
drawing out his watch. "Come, am
anxious to see it tried"
ne ldlu MS WaJcn on the great anvil
plate, the hammer rose TO its full height,
and the next instant all its ponderous
weight, with a crushing force that
shook the ground for an acre round,
came down on the watch.
''There, sir" said the hammer man,
quietly, "if you don't believe that crys-
tai is broken, just stoop down and you
can see it sticking TO the hammer"
The curious old gentleman swallowed
whole procession of Jumps and gasps
before he could speak.
''But forgot to say" he exclaimed,
that it was to break the crystal with
out injuring the watch"
sob, yes" said the hammer man
Eyes, know; have heard that rub
bish myself, but it's all CANNON.
don't believe it, But you can break
the crystal every time"
II the visitor had said what he meant
he would undoubtedly have saved his
watch, but it must be confessed that if
the hammer man had not been one of
the meanest men in the world he would
have saved it anyhow. -Harper's Young

SHOOTING AN ALLIGATOR.
Vengeance on the Thief Who Stole the
Bullock.

Vengeance on the Thief Who Stole the
Bullock.
One day afte'. dinner, says traveller
in Queensland, who has recorded his
experiences under the title: Missing
Friends" we found that an alligator
had taken away one of the working
bullocks, which was lying down few
hundred yards from the house. The
tracks showed plainly that the animal
must have taken its victim by the hind
quarters and dragged it along, for the
earth was plowe up where the bullock
had been holding back with its head
and forelegs.
1t had been dragged to the rivers
edge and there killed and partly eaten.
As we approached the bank we saw
the alligator by the carcass, still feed
ing, but it dropped into the water like
a stone at sight of us.
My employer, Mr.. A, turned to
me with sparkling eyes.
Now is our chance" he cried. ITO
night and tomorrow night it will come
again and eat of the bullock. Then
we can shoot il"
The next evening we sought the
spot as soon as darkness began to fall.
The river bank nearest the water was
very steep for about thirty yards; then
there was gentle slope for another
twenty yards, and on that slope the
carcass of the bullock was now lying.
We were careful to have the wind
against us, as the alligator is shy, and
would never ascend the bank if it
should smell US.
We lay down fat on the ground be-
hind the bushes, and it was agreed
that was not on any account to fire
until Mr.. A should give me the sig
nal by means of a touch. Then was
to fire into the mouth of the alligator,
while he at the same moment tried to
send ball through it's eye,
We lay in this position until mid
night, and then came a heavy body
creeping up the hill, distinctly audible,
though out of sight. Now and then
the noise would cease for minute or
two, then it would come on again, and
at last we saw the dark mass of the
alligator come crawling up to the bull
lock and begin tearing at it.
dared not move sufficiently to lool,
at Mr.. A, but nervously awaited
the signal to fire. The alligator turned
this way and that; at one moment it
almost seemed as if it's powerful tail
might sweep us away.
At length we heard another alliga-
tor crawling up the bank, and the first
one began swapping it's jaws Zero
ciously.
Then came the signal. Bang! went
the rifles. The beast did not move a
muscle. 1t was quite dead, and we
could hear the other one tearing and
rolling down into the water again.

The Graceful Girls of Slam,

The Siamese girls are the most
graceful women in the world. Their
joints are very supple, and part of
their education is made up of bending
their joints back and forth to make
them So They are all short haired,
and when young they are as plump
as cartridges and as straight as the
palm trees of their own beautiful land.
As they grow older they become
wrinlSled and ugly, and the most of
them ruin their teeth from chewing
the betel. Only the fewest of them
are educated, and l don't think they
would be happy in our high French
heel shoes, and they would die If

RAILROAD FIGURES.
Fifth Annual Report of the Inter
state COmmissiOn-2.554 Em-
plOyes Killed ana SS.2G5
Injured During the
Wear.

The 9Th statistical report of the inter
state commerce commission for the year
ending June 80, 1892, has just been is
sued.
The total railway mileage of the coun-
try on June so, 1892, was Ill ,563.52 miles,
being an increase during the year of g.
l6O.7S miles. This is the smallest in
crease in railway mileage reported for a
number of years. The total number of
railway corporations on June 30, 1892,
was 1922, being net increase of 81 dur
ing the year. OF this number 500 main
tanned independent operating accounts,
and 712 were independent operating
companies.
The total number of employees in the
service of railways on June 80, 1892, was
l,415, being an increase of 37,13O over
the previous year. Assuming an increase
in the total number of inhabitants during
the year of 100000, it appears that the
ratio Of increase IN railway employees to
the increase in population was to 81.
The ratio of total railway employees to
total number of inhabitants was to 70.
The railway industry makes each year
larger demands upon the labor of the
people.
The gross earnings from operations of
railways during the year ending October
30, 1892, were $1,171 ,407,343. The oper-
ating expenses we're $7S0,997,996. From
this it appears that the net earnings from
operation of railways were $3.50, 4O9,347.
The income to the railways from invest
ments was S141, ,S92, making with the
net income from operation an aggregate
of $685., 37O,129. The fixed charges dur
ing the year amounted to $416,404,93S,
leaving a net income available for divi-
dends of $115,965,191. Of this amount
$97G14,745 were paid in dividends and
$4,314,39 in other payments from net in
come, leaving surplus over operations
during the year of $l4,o3G,o56.
The number of railway employees killed
during the year covered by the report
was 2,554, being less than the number
killed during the previous year. The
number of employees injured, however,
was in excess of the number injured dur
ing the previous year, being 2S,267. The
number of passengers killed was largely
in excess of the number killed during the
previous year, being 376 in 1892 as against
293 in 1891; while the number of pass
engers injured was 3,257 in 1892, as
against 1872 in 1891. An assignment OF
casualties to the opportunity offered for
accidents shows l employe for every 1872
employees, and employe to have been in
| inred for each 30 men in the employ OF
the railways. similar comparison
shows passenger killed for each ,491,-
$40 passengers carried or for each 3d.
542,282 passenger miles, and J. passenger
injured for each 1883 passengers car
ried or each 4,140,9G6 passenger miles
The largest number of casualties to en-
ployes resulted from coupling and I'M
cou ping cars, 378 employees having been
killed and 1o,3l9 injured while rendering
this service.

administration. In view of the positive
refutation of this charge by Senator
Teller and others WHO presented in the
senate statistics showing the contrary,
which showing has never been challenged
or denied, it is hard to find the proper
niche in history wherein to stand such
men as Mr.. Mcpherson. Indeed, were a
committee of western men selected to de-
eide on this matter it is an open question
whether they would select for him the
niche set part for fools and knaves or
flock him all by himself in an apartment
reserved especially for liars of the cheer

MILLS HAS NOT RESIGNED.
The District Attorney for CO!fax and
Mora Denies the Soft ITn-
parchment.

Hearing that it was being reported that
Gov. Thornton had requested the resigna-
tion of Hon. M. W. Mills, our district at
torney, Stockman scribe cornered him
on the street on his return from the east.
and ON telling him of the report in circu-
lation and asking him if such was the
case, he replied:
swell, ii it is so l have heard nothing
of it. l saw the governor and Mrs.
Thornton at Chicago a few days ago. He
made noreference whatever to any such
intention, and l do not think he has any
inclination. Nor do think that the pub
lie have any cause for dissatisfaction"
So Colfax county can rest assured of
retaining the valuable service of our ez-
perienced district attorney for the re-
mainder of his term, at least.-Springer
