HE MADE THE HORSE GO.

A Mild hammered Mans Simple Method Of
Curing Balkiness.
At least 90 minutes had been expend-
cd in fruitless efforts to make the stub
born horse move. Hitched to bulky
delivery wagon, he stood directly in the
pathway of traffic at the crowded corner
of Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street.
The animal was large, apparently we'll
fed and not overworked. There were no
evidences of disability. 1t was simply
q case of balk.
The driver had exhausted his persua.
sive powers and sat quietly on his seat,
the half dozen men who had been tug
ging at the wheels of the wagon had de-
sisted from their Intellectual exertions,
the knowing individual who sought to
coax the animal with whisp of hay
had thrown down the attempting bait
In disgust, and the daft fellow who es-
sayed to twist the horses tail had man
aged to get away without being kicked,
when mild hammered gentleman, silk
hated and kid gloved, came upon the
scene.
Quietly pushing aside the impatient
street car driver, who wanted to build
fire under the animal, the gentleman
gently stroked the horses neck with one
gloved hand, while with the other he
picked up the baked creatures right
foot, bending it back and holding il
firmly
Nodding to the driver. he said. "Now
go ahead
The driver fourished his whip and
said &c 'langP' The horse instinctively
started, and, finding that its powers of
locomotion were gone, became FESTIVE.
The gentleman then released the i'm.
prisoned foot, which the animal imme.
diately put into action by trotting rap.
idly down the street
After brushing few particles of dirt
from his glove the mild hammered man
passed on his way, and the congestion
in the street enjoyed speedy relief.

and there were restored to the rolls 1871
pensioners, who had been previously
dropped, a total Of 54,072.
During the same period the losses to the
roll were 81, 800 by death; 1914 by remar
riage of widows and mothers; 1915 by legal
limitation, (minors;) 1858 for failure to
claim pension for three years, and 1850 for
other causes, an aggregate of Al ,l22,
"The whole number of pensioners on the
rolls June 80, 1897, was 97G,Oli. The net
gain over the previous year was 5336. 1t
will thus be seen that the pension roll has
not vet begun to show any "diminution,
though it has been anticipated by my pre-
decessors in office that such would be the
fact. Seven widows Of Revolutionary
soldiers and nine daughters of Revolution
ary soldiers are still on the rolls. During
the year 94,454 pension certificates were
issued, of which number so, l0l were orig
inal allowances, and the balance were re
issues, increases, restorations, renewals,
&c.
"Of the number, 1l,671 certificates Of
various classes were held in this bureau
until July /. 1897, and are accordingly not
credited to the past fiscal year.
During the same period, 1921 claims
of various classes were disallowed. Ihl-

which were made for higher rates OF pen,

our Robbers Neal


W Auo,ntic and Pacific passenger train No.
2, from the West, was held up by four men
near Grants station, ninety-ave miles west
Of Albuquerque, New Mexico, at $50 p. m.
After blowing open the express comPauy,s
safe, the robbers wrecked the train, which
caught fire, the express, baggage and smok-
ing cars being destroyed.
1t is not known whether they were sue
cessful in obtaining booty, but it is thought
a large amount of money was carried by
the train.
The coaches were cut of and left at the
stockyards. The rest Of the train was then
taken out q mile and Il half from the sta
ton, where tho express safe was rihed.
The engine and baggage car ran at a ter
rifle rate until they struck the coaches,
which were standing near the stO3kyards.
The cars were wrecked and caught fire.
The passengers had all left the coaches be
fore the collision and mono was injured.
Fireman Henry Ablo, who was compelled
by the robbers to run the engine when the
coaches were left, was killed by the X
plosion when the safe was blown open.

PRACTICAL RAILROAD EDUCATION.


Anovel proposition Was made not long
ago to the receivers ofthe Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The B. and o. has n branch
running from what Is known as Alexandria
Junction. near Washington, to Shepherds
on the Potomac River, where a ear ferry
is operated in connection with the lines
leading south from the Capitol. A pro-
fessor Of an Eastern college desired tC
lease this short stretch of track for the
purpose Of educating young men in practi'
cal railroad work. In his letter he explained
that he thought there wus a wide field fol
bright and energetic boys who could be
thoroughly well grounded 10 the practical
side of railroading provided they could be
educated on q regular line of road. He be.
iieyed that by the employment Of veteran,
railroad men rs teachers, that the BIC,
could proftably spend two or three AZ
working as tralnmcn. 0remen, enginetA
~switchmen, station agents, and in other
capacities required in the railroad service,
As this branch of the B. and o. is Of con.
siderable value, the receivers were com
PEELED to decline the offer.
