Hagaman at Seventy Will Lead n Colony
to the Klondike.
Early next spring Kansas will send to
the Klondike gold regions man who
probably has encountered more western
billiards. than any pioneer west of the Mis-
sissippi river. j. NJ Hagaman, who is
now organizing the Kansas Klondike col
ony. is 20 years old. He is the editor of
newspaper at Concordia and will take with
him a small printing Office and print is
sues OF the Kansas Klondiker on his way.
His party will take the short cut across
the country in wagons. Speaking of his
trip recently Hagaman said:

HIS PROMPT ACTION.
The Remarkable Goodness OF Motorman
Prevented a bad Accident.

The Remarkable Goodness OF n Motorman
Prevented a bad Accident.
The presence of mind Of motorman on
n Brightwood trolley car a few nights ago
probably averted an accident in which
loss of life would have been inevitable.
The car was crowded with passengers,
among whom was Governor Mount, re-
turning to his home in Woodruff. AS the
car approached the Big Four crossing In
Indianapolis, no fiagman was there to give
a warning of danger, and the car proceed
ed on its way.
When within few feet of the crossing,
Allan Abrams, the motorman, observed
an engine backing toward his car at the
rate of 80 miles an hour. An application
of the street car brakes would have landed
the motor on the track just in time to be
crushed by the engine. Realizing TINS
fact. Abrams applied the full current ana
the car jumped the crossing at a bound,
but the hood over the rear end OF the car
was severed by the engine. when inc
passengers realized their escape, they were
much agitatcd, and the governor PRAISED
the motorman for his prompt action

from some distant point to the home office
at Chicago he has always made 1t prac-
tice to begin the conference with him at
o'clock in his Office at the stock yards.
This is Mr.. Armour's hour for going to
work
After the interview Mr.. Armour looks
his visitor over carefully and inquiries
whether or not he happens to have the
time with him. If the employee replies
that he does not carry watch, he is
promptly presented with an order on a
leading Chicago jeweler with instructions
to have the timepiece engraved as gift
from Philip ID. Armour to whatever his
name may be.
If the fortunate one is possessed OF n
watch, he is instructed to get q new suit
of clothes or brand new overcoat. For
the first few years this plan was allowed
to proceed on the lines laid down by Mr..
Armour, but of late those of his men who
prefer watches to overcoats have managed
to leave their timepieces at home when
they have been summoned to conference.
1t is stated as fact that in no instance
has the millionaire packer neglected to
bestow an expensive gift on those of his
employees whom he has called to Chicago
on business The watch preference among
his men has come TO be very noticeable
and Mr.. Armour's custom is so generally
known among Armour men that call u
