Gave Him q Name.

A great many curious facts con-
nected with the names of veterans
Of the late war are developed in the
work of the civil service commits
sion, which is frequently called
upon to certify i'll regard to the
service of soldiers who seek to enter
the classified service. This work of
the commission develops the fact
that one out Of every eight soldiers
who enlisted in the civil war enlist
cd under an assumed or partial
name, which frequently makes it
difficult to identity them now. A
curious case has just come to light.
It appears that A. L. Holmes, when
he enlisted, told the recruiting Off
ccr his name was "Al Holmes. -
The officer wrote the name A. L.
Holmes.
mo, that is not my name," pro.
tested the recruit. my name is AL
bert Holmes - ...... f.:
"Well, replied the officer, II will
give you a middle name, (" and he
proceeded to write the recruits
name Albert Lincoln Holmes
You will never be ashamed Of
that name, the officer remarked as
the recruit stood speechless. w.
Since that day he has been Albert

London Drivers,

In London the drivers are all Ii
censed. No man can so upon the
streets in charge Of omnibus, han
som or cal without a license in his
pocket. II he gets into trouble once
through his own fault, he is fined
and warned. The second time his
license is taken away from him and
he is mover allowed to drive again
on the streets Of London. Before
drivers arr given their licenses they
are required to pass a civil service
examination in actual driving. They
are taken into yard where there
are many posts set up in the pave
ment and required to drive in and
around these obstacles. They are
asked what street they would take
in order to go from one place to an
other at 10 o'clock in the morning,
ut in the afternoon and at O. clock.
Unless they are able to tell the best
routes all over the city at various
times Of the day - indicating tile
thoroughfares which are least con
gested az the traffic shifts and
changes they get no license. WAL

Ell PASO has some very nice smooth
streets and they are usually kept in
good coalition: but when it comes to
sidewalks they are about as rough as
they can be without being impossible.
About eight years ago this city had an
epidemic of tar aud gravel sidewalks
and nearly every part of the city suf-
fered more or less. Several miles Of
these walks were put down by order OF
the city at q big expense to the citi-
zens, whose property abutted upon the
same: but whether the kmanshlp
was poor, the material of poor quality,
or this kind of walk unsuited to this
climate, certain it is that the walks
soon cracked and went to pieces, leav-
ing them in q condition which has
been growing verse and worse as the
years go by without much attempt t.
improve them.
