"There was queer character out in Vir-

early Sixties said w. II. Barstow. HE
was called Laughing Tom. He couldn't say
word without laughing, and he usually
prefaced what he had to say with series Of
chuckles that were the most infectious
things imaginable
"fhere are hundreds OF stories of which
Tom is the hero, but one there is in particu-
lar which have never seen printed One
day Tom began playing poker with miner.
The stakes were small, but they were big to
the players themselves as they represented
all their earthly possessions. 1t was nip
and tuck for awhile, and IA pretty good Jack
pot was being built up when the miner
saw Tom slip a card. He said nothing un-
til the laughing prodigy opened the jacker,
bet off the limit and was about to gather in
the pot when the miner quietly told him
he had seen him cheat.
"'All right said Tom, with his laugh.
1T was unintentional, assure you, but take
the pot and let's keep on playing.
"The miner was agreeable, and play was
continued until he caught Tom cheating
again. 1t was the latters deal, and he
slipped two cards into his lap while shut

THE miner was as mad as hornet, not
so much on account of Toms cheating as
because Of the insult to his intelligence by

NASHVILLE, Oct. 2.-There are indica-

middle states and along the main and
branch lines Of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, that q general uprising

erhood of Locomotive Engineers, is about

is being aroused against him, and after
thirteen years in the executive chair his
head may be chopped off at the annual
meeting next winter. So far as the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad employees are
concerned, some boldly claim that Arthur
them fair deal In the recent conference
with the Louisville and Nashville manage
mcnt. They say that the chief of the train
men declared that the vote against the cut
was not taken according to the provisions
of the constitution, and that he would re-
fuse to call out his men in case the officials
insisted on the cut. 1t is claimed that
Arthur Joined him in this action. 1t is
also alleged that Arthur has not acted for
the best interests of the men on several oc-
casions

into hard cake the size of silver dollar
and stamp the government mark upon 1t.
That would represent actual value and
labor performed, and then you could eat a
dolla-, for when you wanted to use the
wheat all that would be necessary would
be to put your money to soak.
I'VE should then have the bushel of
wheat as permanent unit of value, which
all farmers would appreciate and the cur
rency of the country would represent ac.
tual worth and labor performed. Both
gold and silver could then be dispensed
with and the present bimetalic problem
solved. Our currency, moreover, would
be ms good US gold or silver in foreign ex-
change, for our wheat goes to all the coun-
tries of the world.
SIN all this talk about metal for COIN
age" continued Mr. Edison, 81 am SUR
prised that no one has suggested iron.
Iron is the most precious metal. Gold is
of no use or silver either. Mankind has
no use for either gold or silver, but iron
could not be dispensed with. II the peo-
pie would only give up this foolish ira
ditional, hereditary hankering for gold
and silver, these metals would not be
worth the price of old lead, and would be
kicked aside by civilization. The human
race, on the other hand. cannot dispense
with iron. Iron must be produced to
keep pace with consumption, or its price
will steadily rise.
'The demand for iron is steady, and will
never cease, Therefore, why not issue
treasury certificates on iront This Is the
greatest iron producing country in the
world, and our output amounts annually
to more than the output of both gold and
silver. Instead of loading up the treasury
with these useless metals, and, as people
would want bills Of large denomination to
accompany the wheat dollar, why not buy
iron or steel instead, and issue treasury
certificates upon that?"
