The pooling Of engines on the
Santa Fe does not meet with the
hearty approval Of the engineers.
An engineers pride is with his en-
gine, and to give it up altogether
or to be sharing it with another
man is not his preference. The
coal, water, oil, ETC., must be
charged to two men instead of one
and if good record is made they
ask, who gets the benefit OF it?
Then an engineer does not like to
be running chain gang of engines
and never know which one he will
take out. Another argument made
by the engineers is that an engi-
neer who is thoroughly acquainted
with his engine can get more work
out Of it than an engineer who has
never handled it. What the out

Too Smart.

General Hancock was sorely tried in
1861 by the extreme freshness of some
Of the officers of his command. One day
the major of a western regiment rode
up to Hancock s headquarters and, with
out dismounting, asked that General
Hancock step out of his tent, as he de-
sired to speak with him. When the
superb" came forth, the pompous ma
jor said to the general that he had come
over for the purpose of getting orders as
to what his regiment should do that aft
ernoon, and without waiting for Han
cock to give directions he went on to
state that in his opinion, as the com.
mander Of the regiment in the absence
of the colonel and lieutenant colonel,
his regiment should devote most Of the
afternoon to battalion drill. Hancock
quietly gave directions that his regi-
ment remain in camp and fix up its
quarters as nicely as possible. When
the major rode away, Hancock squared
himself, folded his hands and looked
after him. Without addressing any par
ticular person he said: 1.-THE major is
