Stars tailed another run through er-
rors by the St. Louis men. The game
was even until the last half Of the
eighth when by superior playing and
successful rafting Of the Stars the Col
lege boys piled up five more runs. The
batting and fielding on the part Of St.
Louis boys was exceptionally good:
they had no difficulty in finding Hart.
In the eighth inning Ross of the Stars
sent the ball TO the fence and almost

by Hansmann, Willis. Thompson and

Cleansing of the wound itself was
almost a surgical heresy a few years
ago. Fouled bandages were the rule,
and the thicker and more abundant
the discharges the more ''laudable''
they were considered to be. Hence in
the older works on surgery the So
called "laudable" pus was as much a
sign of safety as it is now of danger.
Cleanliness of instruments. now
prime cOnsidera ton, was then entire
ly ignored. Oftentimes the same in
struments would be used at different
times upon the dead as well as the
living body, and a celebrated operator
OF that day was accustomed to hold
his knife between his teeth when his
hands were temporarily employed in
the wound. If a cut healed rapidly it
was a rarity sufficiently great to
court fact. The former result was
rather an accident of cleanliness than
the deliberate Acknowledgement of
what should have been the rule Con-
sequently the most careful surgeons
those who possessed instructive habits
Of neatness and cleanliness-we the
most successful.

it was not until Monday night that
Miss Derby inserted in the proper
place: ESTIMATED cost, five cents -
Next day the application was return
ed, in "A special printed envelope, pre-
pared for such contingencies, to the
New York offices.
The clerk who examined the return
ed application, failed to find any err
ror, and after it's duplicate had been
taken from the file and corrected to
correspond, it was again stamped, GER
tilted, and sent on it's way. On reach
ing it's destination, an elaborate blank
was filed out, and "Requisition No

eighth of an inch thick, three inches

The company's storehouse is in
: New Jersey, and on Thursday the
keepers first clerk received Requisi-
ton No. 94,742, with many others, and
stamping it properly, sent it on it's
way to be filed. The storehouse con-
tains about everything that anybody
| would expect The company could use;
thousands of different articles used in
the factories, offices and salesrooms
are stored in this great six-story fire
proof building of brick and steel, and
in quantities sufficient to keep UP
with the demand. So exact is the svs-
tenn that the storekeeper can tell 1i0t
only what articles he has in stock,
but how large a quantity and how
fast his stock is being depleted.
In all his stock, however, he did not
have the supplies called for in Requi-
sition No. 94,742, and the clerk report
ed accordingly. Ano,ner clerk
stamped this information on the or.
der land it was returned to the gen
eral offices in New York in a specially
printed envelope used for this pur-
pose. Here a clerk filed out a blank,
and in accordance with rule No. 2O4,
stated that the article was nor in
stock, and if there was immediate
need thereof and the same could be
purchased in Little Brook, the super
intendent was authorized to notify,
the general offices in New York, and
requisition would be forwar led tc
his office authorizing the expenditure
This information reached Little
Brook late Saturday night. Routine
and rules were strictly followed by
the clerks. Their Instructions were
plain, and were to be followed wheth-
er the expenditure was five cents or
five thousand dollars.
Accordingly, when on Monday, the
papers were opened, they consisted
of many sheets, the application, re-
QUESTION, letters, Instructions, etc.,
and required double postage to trans
port it through the mails. Engineer
Derby was given blank and he fur

had factories in several places, it mad
branches in many cities and in for
eign countries, but at it's general Of
fees in eNw York there was a chief
manager. His word was the law, and
it was impossible to buy even pen
Gil on The company's account without
his consent, and in writing.
The ordinary and contingent ex-
penses were duly ltemized and provid
ed for, but anything special it was
difficult to obtain. The general man
ayers office would not authorize the
spending of penny unless it knew
the reason why it was expended and
the necessity therefor.
Engineer Derby was literally sup
piled with coal and wood and oil and
waste, and although his house was
well warmed and brightly lighted, he
spent less for coal and oil than any
family in the village; but he lived
just across from the engine house,
and always had basket handy. Tie
usually looked after his fires on dark
nights when the Waterman was busy
in the factory on the other side
On the 9th of August, Engineer
Derby discovered that one of the
pumps needed fixing, and for that
purpose he required a small piece of
thick leather. He spoke to the fore
man about it, and his request was
duly reported to the superintendent.
Agreeably to the rules, the superin-
tendent made a memorandum of the
request, and with others turned it
over to the clerk whose duty it was to
order supplies. 1t being an article
not specially provided for in the item
lied list, the clerk took two of the
regulation blanks to the engineer, and
asked him to make a written request
in proper form, and in duplicate. Der
by regarded this as a useless bit of
red tape, but the clerk assured him
that this was his only method of get
ting the leather
That night Engineer Derby not
only purchased all the leather re-
CURED for five cents, but had his
daughter, who was attending the
high school, fill out the application.
In her zeal she attempted to write
something in every one of the many
blank spaces, replying to each ques-
tion, but she left out a reply to most
important question of all: Estimat-
ed cost
The applications were duly attested
by the superintendent, and a clerk
entered them in a book of record. and
forwarded them to the general Offices
in New York; and soon each bore the
stamp: Received at General Offices.
August 10, 18-.
In due course the application, in
duplicate, found it's way to the clerk
whose duty it is to examine such dc.
uments, file one, and after certifying
to it's correctness, forward it's dupli-
cate to another department clerk,
who makes out requisition on the
store keeper for the required supplies.
Here the application ran up against
rule No. 1874: "Anv aDnlicatiOn for
