CONDUCTORS WIVES ORGANIZE
First Ladies' Auxiliary Instituted on
Sunday.

First Ladies' Auxiliary Instituted on
Sunday.
President E. B. Kenyon Of the indie
pendent Order of Railway Conductors
organized the first ladies' auxiliary to
that organization in this city Sunday
afternoon. Though the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers has an auxiliary
to the division in this city and to divis-
ions in many other cities, there has new
er been an auxiliary to any of the
branches of the Independent Order of
Railway Conductors.
1t is estimated that there are in this
city sixty or seventy passenger conduc-
tors. Their wives have long been dis
GUESSING the feasibility of organizing
Auxiliary No. /. The movement took
definite shape last year, when it was
thought that a permanent organization
would be effected, but action was post
poned. Sunday about thirty wives OF
conductors gathered in the lodge rooms
of the New Haven division and were
organized.
Mrs. Charles Phillips was chosen pres
ident; Mrs. Elizabeth Kidder, vice pres
ident; Mrs. Eugene FL. Coomes, secreta-
ny; Mrs Winfield J. Manwaring, guide;
Mrs. Fem, chaplain; Miss Murphy,
treasurer. An executive committee was
also chosen.
President Kenyon was assisted in the
organization by Vice President Charles
Phillips and Chaplain F. A. Hermance
of the supreme lodge. The object of
the auxiliary is to render assistance to
the members. of the order, particularly
in cases Of need. 1t will meet every
two weeks.
1t is expected that an auxiliary will
soon be formed in Springfield.

Then turnin to the stranger,who was
now mounted on the mule with his boots
in the stirrups, Andy smiled pleasant,
homely smile, and went on to say;
Now stranger, if you have got any
more scallop-bnck, calico horses down
in your country would love the best in
the world for sou to bring drove the
next time you are passn through our
settlement, ! have got few head Of
mules and horses over to my plantation
both straight backs and scallop backs
and hump backs-and will trade with
you most any time and any way. The
scallop-back horses are all the go in this
country now, whilst the straight backs
are way yonder out Of the fashion"
''lIoly Moses and the twelve epistles,
what lie!" thinks | to myself, but as
Andy had already give it ont that my
time of year to say nothin had come, |
didn't put my hand into the game any
more, And yet still did feel rale curl
Gus all over in spots from the fear that
the way in which he had got bit aud
plugged in the trade and the general
shock which struck us when the
stranger pulled the waddn out of the
hole in that pony's back, had kindly UNI
strung Andy's nervous system and ad-
died his mind.

crate army and served for four years till

Nov, see if you can't manage so as
to let few ideas soak through your
hair, whilst try to give you some of the
mainest pints in the game" says Andy,
as he mounted and We rid on towards
home.
That blame fool stranger which
traded with me back yonder has Jest
simply snapped off the goose that lays
gold eggs and never goes to set, as it
were, and | saw through his trick like
a fash, lie calculated that when he
took off his saddle and pulled the blan-
ltets out of the terrible hole in the
pony's back would be para lyzcd on the
spot and dead crazy to rue the trade.
You would have took his bait like a lit
tie sucker if you had stood in my shoes,
but, havin come down from a genera
ton of horse traders, didn't snap and
gobble down the bait any to speak of.
lie thought ! would ask him and beg
him for rue, and at last offer to swap
back even in orderment to git rid
OF the scallop-back pony, and in that
way he could keep the boot money had

cash-in his tanks as easy as pickin
it up in the big road III bet my Sun
day boots, RUFF, that he has made 50
trades like that. You took notice of
how he kept hangin around and waitin
for me to say somethin. which / never
did say. Well, he was Jest simply beat
out in his own game, and could see
that it cut him to the bone. Right now
| will bet the best mule in the settle
ment that he would be more than glad
to rue the trade and let me name the
hggers. You only wait now till my time
comes and let me show you how easy
the trick will work. There is some dirt
in it know, but accordn to the Scrip
lures anything is fair in love and war
and politics and horse tradin."
As we rid on towards home scaIIop-
back Billy danced and pranced and went
sideways and put on more airs than the
drum major of brass band. Every
body we met in the road had to turn
round and take good look at Andv's
high-headed, calico pony. Torectly it
so happened that we met up with an
other stranger. Andy ticltIed scallop- |

and wouldn't let him break his gait. I

The next minute they had both lit
and dismouuted and got down to round
up the trade, They changed brides
in the first place. and then as Andy
! pulled his saddle off aud was takfn a
farewell look at his mule, the stranger
give quick jerk and flung his saddle
| from the pony to the mules back. For
some minutes then Andy he looked at
NE and then at the pony, and / looked
al the pony and then at Andy, whilst his
eyes bulged out as big as a pair of sau-
GERS, and | had powerful hankerin to
laugh.
When the stranger took off his sad
Gle and then pulled all the blankets out,
one by one, blamed if they didn't leave
hole in the pony's back as big as
hamper basket. You couldn't tell for
certain by lookin at him what in the
thunderation had happened to him, but
it would seem as if big slice Of his
back had been bit out or chopped out
at very young and early age. We
found out afterwards that the dead
Limb Of tree had fell on him wnen he
was a mere colt and broke his back.
And then when he got well and come
around on his legs oncst more that ugly
scallop was still there, and there to stay.
The stranger had kind of silly look,
but it amt no ways probable that the
Fool Killer had ever had any
pressin engagements at his house,
and he had filed up that ugly
hole in the pony's back with
Ebout Is saddle blankets, foldin them
every one little wider and wider till
he brung the valley up to a level with
the knobs and hills surroundn.
We'll, man, sir, when he lifted his sad
die and blankets and pulled the waddin
out and left that thunderin big hole
there in the pony's back he looked a
blessed sight more like a drummedary
than a piece of horse flesh. l thought
in my soul for few minutes that Andy
Lucas would faint and fall down in it
in spite Of all that could be said Of
done. But he rallied presently and
come back to his right mind aud proper
spirits.
By this time the stranger was buck. /
lin up the girths as if to take on wa
terbury movement, and leanin over in F..
my saddle and whisperiu to Andy, says
/:
