ENGINEERS LOST LOVES.
Some Disagreeable Features to the
New Plan of Pooling Engines.

''The putting of engines in the pool on
the Santa Fe,'' said an old time engi-
neer, serves a double purpose. am
not in a position to know how much the
company will be benefited by it but it
is Just this way with us. We did not
appreciate the comforts we had until
we lost them along with our regular en-
gines Our engines were like our wives
and tooth brushes. Everyone liked their
own the best. Our wives have often told
US that We gave our engines more care
and attention than we did our homes
but in fact they were our other homes
and there was always Somthing we
could do to make them comfortable and
attractive. It is just the same as it
was when we were boys. Our dads
would give US a. yoke of steers or per-
haps a sick calf and we took a great
interest in them because they were ours
but when they came to be sold they
We're dads again.
This idea of pooling is an object les
son. I used to think my old engine had
some faults but if 1 ever get her back
again regularly will make no COM
plants about her whatever. That is
where the object lesson comes in.
Having a new engine every trip is
too much like the free lovers of New
York But there is one good thing.
While the company is doing the work
on the engines that we used to do we
are at home getting acquainted with
our family but it also robs US of the
only excuse we had to go to the round
house to clean our engines when we
wanted to get away

THOSE NIGHT SHIRTS.
Jack Burk Who is "Back From the
Front" Tells About Them.

Atchison Globe: Jack Burk returned
to Atchison last night, having been dis
charged from Company L, Twenty-sec-
ond Kansas volunteers, on account of
disability. His complaint was rheuma-
tism. He was examined by fifteen doc
tors, who decided that he was not able
to serve out his term of enlistment.
Burk says that the volunteers are com
PEELED to work about four hours a, day;
that they have plenty to eat, and plenty
to wear In his judgment, they have
better food than the regulars had at
Fort LeavenwOrth before the war broke
out. Notwithstanding this, there is
great deal of grumbling among the men.
The weather at Camp Alger is very
warm, and the men from the north are
not able to stand it very we'll. He
speaks very highly of the officers of the
Twenty and of Company L;
they do all they can for the men. He
was furnished transportation from
Washington to Atchison. Here am
he said last night, right from the
thick of the greatest battle ever fought.
Here am, and the bullets cannot touch
me here. I would willingly have died
for my country, and often have I pray
ed that if I had to die at all, let it be
for my country. But the bullets would
not touch me, and could not stay in
camp to be ruth eSSly stricken down
by rheumatics. I reluctantly accepted
a discharge from President Mckinley,
and if they really do give pensions I
In1nk 1 deserve one, LOT was an AWFUL
good shot. There's one thing I want
to say, and as one direct from the front
1 think I have a right to speak. To
the dear women that sent night shirts
to our company, I, the recipient of
seventeen handsome ones, wish to ex-
press my deep thanks 1t is quite a
treat after a hard days fight to jump
head first into a clean night shirt and
lie there, famed by all the breeze there
is when the thermometer stands at 100
degrees above zero. Thanks to the good
girls all over the country, we enjoyed
every pleasure which night shirts afford.
They came in by car loads. I got three
green ones in one package, with note
saying the design would be changed
with the next consignment. One night,
as the soldiers were all sleeping sound
ly, that dread order came sounding
along: To armsi' The companies were
all called out to answer roll call, and
when the boys formed in line the var
iously designed and cOlored night shirts

live in memory for the artistic effect
of those vari-colOred night shirts. The

PONCE HAS A BOOM.
Merchants are Making the Most of
the Invaders.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 1.-Business
in the city has enjoyed a great boom
since the arrival of the Americans. The
merchants, who closed their places have
opened them and are eagerly engaged
in competition for the American dollar.
American gold is at a premium of 100
per cent. Yesterday, prices were cheap;
today they are enormous. Yesterday
the price of breakfast at the Hotel
Francois was 25 centaVos; this morn
ing 1t is ! peso. Everything else has
risen in proportion. The newspaper cor
respondents have difficulty in obtaining
horses even at 5000 gold The natives
imagine that the pockets of the Amer
leans can emit countless flow of
eagles and double eagles. There is a
plenty of provisions in the city, except
rice, one of the staples which is quoted
at very high figure for this country.
Our army will not lack for fresh meat
in the march across the island. The
broad savannas which lie between the
undulating hills swarm with cattle at
reasonable prices and of excellent quail
ity.
Gen. Garretson's brigade is massed at
-Haaco, the terminus of the railroad, 10
miles off, and will probably remain
there until the army is ready to move,
but it is thought that the artillery will
be brought here Immediately. The rail-
road is in good order, but much OF the
rolling stock has been destroyed. eS-
terday Gen. Roy Stone found several
engines wrecked. The machinery had
been dismembered by Spanish sympa-
th1zers at the rOundhOuse and hldden.
Gen. Stone gave them two hours to get
the engines into working order under
penalty of Imprisonment, and IN less
than that time the engines had steam
up and We're ready to move.

New York, Aug. Back from the

her formidable guns bristling in the
sunlight and her officers and crew
laughing and cheering like school boys
on a holiday trip, the United States bat

command, steamed slowly up the lower
bay from Sandy Hook yesterday on her
way to the Brooklyn navy yard. For a
brief period she remained at anchor off
TOmpkinsville, S. I, to receive the mail
and dispatches, and as soon as these
were got on board, the vessel proceeded
slowly to her destination amid saIvOs
of greeting from the thousands of peo-
pie who crowded the decks of the out

for a more capable man. Some of the

ing such editorials, being prompted
to this course by the wobbly policy

THE FORTUNES OF WAR

War brings leaders TO the the front
and spectators to the top. It de
velopes heroism and cupidity; it af-
fords patriotism no greater opportu-
nifty than it presents to avarice.
Through the smoke Of battle men
rush to fame. Behind the lines others
are accommodating wealth. When the
war is owe wealth will dominate
valore. 1t is doing so now in MANY
OF the appointments being made.
Struggles are often prolonged to give
bond-buyers a chaice to make gov
eminent contractors rich.
Colossal estates are builded upon
the mlsfortunes of war, cemented
by the blood of patriotism and the
sweat of labor. War IS the harvest
time of the sdeculator, and men who
buy POSITIONS, who deal in political
power, and who SOW their millions
must reap the harvest when it ripens.
Secure in their relations with the
administration, these vampires are
immune from censure. They denounce
as "copperheads" all who undertake
to warn the public against them.
They try to create the impression
that every criticism of a policy in
augurated is a criticism of the GOV
eminent itself.
Through every stormy sea it passes
the ship of State is followed bv a
school of sharks, fattened upon the
waste and mishaps Of misshapened
policy. Who takes a shot at one Of
these is called a traitor, because they
are fed by those in power. The king
can do no wrong; his pets can do no
harm.
In the present war with Spain,
heros will fall embalmed in glory,
and leaders will rise to historical
distinction. Contractors will flourish
like the green bay tree; and the bread
cast upon the waters in 1896 by the
financial hackers of this ad~ninistra-
ton will return with a fabulous in
crease, for the many days have clap
sed, and they are impatient for the
L. Herald.
