Crooked Railroading.

An engineer, who formerly ran on the
Decorah division. known among the rail-
road boys as the " pea yine,' on account of
its many curves, tells of a remarkable
occurrence that happened near Brainard.
where the railroad is said to be as crooked
as anything TO be found in the State. A
freight train was being followed close by
the passenger. both being off time on ac-
count OF washout. A headlight was
paced on the rear of the caboose as a
warning to the passenger train which
followed. Suddenly the train came to n
halt. The engine was reversed, and the
engineer and fireman were seen to jump.
The train was on a part Of the road that
was SO crooked that the engine had turned
around, and seeing the headlight on the
rear end of the caboose. they thought they
were going to have head-cnd collision

An Interesting Problem.

There was once q wise king who was
awfully curious. He was possessed of
a desire to know everything, and was
continually asking questions. Indeed
his thirst for knowledge carried him
so far that he wanted to know the age
of every person he met. But, being 9
king, he was exceedingly polite, and
would resort to strategy to- gain his
ends.
One day there came to the court a
gray-haired professor, who amused the
king greatly. He told the monarch
a number of things that he never
knew before, and the king was de-
lighted. But finally it came to the
point when the ruler wanted to know
the age of the professor, so he thought
of mathematical problem.
"AhemH' said the king. 81 have
an interesting sum for you it is trial
in mental arithemetic. Think of the
number of the month of your BIRTH"
Now the professor was sixty years
old, and had been born two days before
Christmas, so he thought of IL, De-
cember being the twelfth month.
"Yes," said the professor.
multiply by g" continued the king;
eyes"
add s."
eyes," answered the professor, do
ing so.
NOW multiply that by So"
"Yes."
"Ads "Add J your age"
Subtract $685."
"Yes."
add u.s."
EYES,"
"And now," said the king, "might
l ask what the result is ?".
"Twelve hundred and sixty" re-
pied the professor, wonderingly.
"Thank you," was the kings re-
sponse. $50 you were born in De-
cember, sixty years ago, en- ?"
How in the world did you know"
cried the professor.
"Why," retorted the king, "from
your answer-l26O. The mouth OF
your birth was the twelfth, and the
last two figures give your age.
"Ha, ha, ha" laughed the professor.
"Capital idea. "I'll try it on the next
person I meet. It's such polite way
of finding peoples ages.v
