Labor Commissioner Todd. who has
just returned from a trip over the state,
explained to a STATE JOURNAL reporter
this afternoon how he lost his Santa Fe
pass.
Mr.. Todd said he was standing on the
depot platform at n ckerson, waiting for
the train to start, and a man on the plat
form explained that the train night not
start soon as they we're having lots of
trouble with the strike.
Mr.. Todd said: II pointed over on the
side track where there we're twelve or
fifteen Pullmans standing tied up by the
strike, and 1 pointed directly at the
Pullmans and said: That company pays
less taxes and gets bigger dividends than
any railroad corporation doing business
in Kansas, aud that's a fact too. The
Pullman taxes were reduced, whether
justly or otherwise, and that was the only
company to get a reduction
My pass was accepted for transporta-
conductor came around and took it up.
MIR. Hurd explained to me the othev day
that it had simply been taken up pend
ing investigation and after he would
hear from the man [ had talked with on
the platform it might be returned to me.
"lhe pass was matter Of courtesy on
the part Of the railroad and they had a
right to take it up whenever they saw tit,
but l am not too poor TO pay my fare and,
any way, | have passes on other rail
roads and 1 won't have to walk"

EGYPTIAN DREssMAKER's BILL.

in the pyramid age. The startling feature of the discoveries resulting from the decipherment of the cunei- form inscriptions has been the numer- ous details of popular life which are accessible to us. The little clay tab lets not only contain the record of kings and princes, but even of the poorest of the people, slaves and beg gars. In so great literary land as Chaldea every transaction, no matter how small, was recorded in writing, and thus we have many details of transactions which would otherwise have been forever lost. Among the documents which have been discovered Is tablet which may be well called ''the oldest dressmaler's bill in the world" It was the custom of the Babylonian kings to present to the temples sets of robes for the use of the priests and priestesses. This was usually done every year, and we have many of these lists in the British museum. The oldest hitherto known has been that of king, about 1450 E. c. There arc several of a later period, but the document before us is far older than any yet found.
 The tablet, which is of limestone, was discovered in the ruins of the tenn pie in the city of Nipur in southern Chaldea. This temple was dedicated to the ghost god and had a very large priesthood attached to it. From the style of writing, which is extremely archaic, and from the curious system of numerals employed, the table can not be of later date than 2s00 B. c. 1t contains list of ninety-two vestments which were presented to the temple by the king. Tie name of the king is un- fortunately not given. The end of the tablet reads: "In all ninety-two pure vestments, the bill Oist) of the temple for the priests this year" Many of the words are unknown to us, as they are, no doubt, many of them technical terms employed by the modistes of the period. Some of the lines however, are of particular interest-those that can be satisfactorily deciphered. Among the items are: Twelve white robes of the temple, eight robes of the house of his lady, ten pure gold col lars, two wide robes" One item of especial interest occurs near the end: -Four scented robes" This reminds us of the passage in Psalm xiv, speak ing of the robes redolent of ''myrrh and aloes and cassia." It was, no doubt, the custom in Babylonia to per fume the robes, as 1t is to this day in Persia and India. Another item is also Illustrative of eastern life: Two winders," probably scarfs used for binding round the waist. This docu- ment has likewise an additional value in showing us the great development which had taken place in the textile arts in Chaldea even at this early period. The decorations on the statues of Gudea (B. c. 2SOO), the embroidered fringes, show that the skill of the weaver and the embroiderer was far advanced, and it is curious feature to notice that nearly all the attempts at decorative work in early Chaldea are in patterns which are derived from textile designs.

Ills Clear Ideas.

A man who goes south every winter pronounces the Florida cracker among the most original and entertaining of men. His own small house and his COW, or few razor-back hogs, obscure the universe for him; he doesn't know or care that there is anything outside his own mental range, and how he does hate the railroads! In his mind, they are all evil inventions, especially constructed to annoy his precious COW. Down in Florida they tell story of a ''cracker'' who had never seen rail- road, but had heard talk of projected load in his county, and, of course, suf- fered great anxiety lest his beloved COW should be run over.
 "Oh, no," suggested someone to allay his fears, "the cars won't run over your COW; the engines have cow-catchers to throw cattle out of the way"
 ''Cow-ketchers," repeated the irate and wondering cracker. "They have lem, do they? Wall, sir, I'll get even with them 'tarnal cow-ketchers-I'n put mess of pisoned taters on the track. ."-Washington Star.
