a SUGGESTION TO THE AGENT

Chicago Times Herald.
When General Lew Wallace was serv-
Ing as territorial governor OF New Mex
leo. few years ago he shipped home
to Indiana carload OF curios for his
friends. The collection for the most
part consisted OF boxes of minerals,
furs, Indian blankets, and beadwork,
and with them was included a dimin-
utlve Mexican burro or donkey intend
ed for a neighbours child as a pet
When the car reached its destination
the freight agent in checking up the
contents Of the car misunderstood the
word "burro." and. thinking that 1t was
the phonetic attempt OF some illiterate
railroader to spell bureau" was un-
able to find any piece of furniture to
mt the bill OF lading. on the other hand
he found in the car a long-eared donkey
not included in the bill.
According to custom. whenever irreg-
ularities are discovered. he promptly
telegraphed back to the shipping point:
Car No, 1880. Albuquerque, consigned
Wallace, arrived, minus one bureau,
plus one jackass. Please trace and no
tlfy." General Wallace himself dictat-
ed the answer: Change places with
the jackass."

The grinders, men and women, lay
stretched out on wooden planks, over
which they sometimes throw sheepskins
to soften the boards. Head, shoulders
and arms reach over the. end OF the
board, and with their hands they hold
