GREENLAND's ACQUISITION.
An English View of the United States Get
ting the Frozen Land.

London, Sept. 29.-The Evening
News gives prominence to the rumor
and says:
Under ordinary circumstances. even
II the truth of the report would eN-
cite little interest, coupled with the
news Of the hoisting of the Union Jack
over Batlln's Land. IL becomes of great
moment. 1t appears that Banins
Land was never formally acquired
by the English although 1t has been
regarded as English for half CEN
tury. Hudson's strait is destined TO
become part. in the future of great
grain carrying route between Liver
pool and Winnepeg. which will be q
powerful rival OF the American land
routes. The Americans have no port or
footing on the eastern shores OF the
continent north Of Maine, and If they
are to participate in the advantages
from the Hudson Bay route It has been
apparently urged that their govern
without delay"
The Evening News adds to this COM
ment an interview with an unnamed
Canadian official to the effect that the
hoisting of the Union Jack over Baf-
fms Land was probably provoked by
the reports that the United States gov
ernment had Its eye upon that terri
tory. According to the official quoted.
there is nothing to prevent the Uni
ted States purchasing Greenland from
Denmark.
In conclusion the Evening News re-
marks: III the Americans acquire
Greenland there viii be difficulties
ahead for our transatlantic commerce
and International relations. If they
have not acquired It already, what is to
prevent our securing it?'

Il don't see how you did it, suggested
the man who knew nothing except that
the husband with a title was ordinarily
quoted at a pretty stiff figure.

10 marry the girls to enterprising young
Americans with no titles. but their moth

more fashionable; and when their mother
insists I have to hump myself and see
that things come the way she wants them.
I confess it was something of problem at
first, but when I got 1t figured out in my
mind and began playing the cards it was
so easy that I was inclined to be asham-
ed of myself for not trying something
harder"
The self-satisfed man stopped long

he would be glad to hear the story, and
then, In view of the fact that they were

Chief Engineer was Slow.

A western railroad having its headquar-
tiers in Chicago was reorganized and some
new officials were brought on from the
east, says the Chicago Record. There was
a readjustment of titles and the superin-
tendent evolved a system by which the
duties of every employe were to be most
clearly understood.
John Connors, who had helped to build
the road, and who had been on the payroll
for years, was advanced to the title of
master mechanic and superintendent of
maintenance of way.
About a week after his appointment he
was hastily summoned to the Office and
was given an order;
ITO John Connors, master mechanic and
superintendent of maintenance of way:
This is to inform you that culvert No 1863,
in section No. IA. one and one-half 90
miles east of Effner, has been destroyed
by fire. You will proceed with all possible
haste TO the chief engineer, who will pro-
vide you with the necessary plans and spe-
cifcations. BY requisiion on the pur-
chasing agent you will be enabled to Sc
cure such material as may be necessary,
and the superintendent of motive power
win place at your disposal"
There were other directions, but when
John Conner had read this far he folded
the letter and put it in his pocket.
That's what we call the Wilson cul-
vert" said he; III 'tind TO it."
That was Saturday. on Monday morning
the general superintendent came to his Of
flee at 10 o'clock. pushed a bell and di-
rected the private secretary to order the
special messenger to summon the master
mechanic and superintendent of mainten-
ance of way.
John Connors came to the Office.
Mr.. Connors,' began the general super
intendent, have you received from the
oh 10 MA nd
for that new culvert in section No 14?"
I'm tell you" replied the master me-
chanic and superintendent of maintenance
of way: "the bridge is done and the trains
have been runnin' since daylight but 1
haven't seen the picture of it yet"
