There are washouts and washings
out. At this season of the year, when
swollen rivers are in the habit OF
carrying away railway embankments,
1t may be interesting to note that at
least one official is able to consider the
situation calmly and with even some
approach to levity. This is evidenced
by the following telegraphic cores
pondence, which took place between
the genera manager and the division
superintendent OF q leading western
road in the United States. The name:
are disguised:
"Mr. John Smith, division superin-
tendent:
"Come on first train to consult about
new timetable.
"John Jones general m ansger.''
Before leaving the telegraph Offic
the manager received the following
reply:
''Mr. John Jones, general man.
sRer:
wash out on line. Cannot come.
"John Smith, division superintend-
ent."
The general manager apparently
thought this trivial excuse and wir-
ed back the following:
"Mr. John Smith, division superin-
tendent:
"Buy a new shirt and come anyway.
"John Jones, general manager"

No Barmaids Allowed.

Remove hotelkeepers are much ex-
ercised over an order issued by Judge
Mayer, which has been served upon
each hcensee by a constable attached
to the Clinton county courts. Under
this order, women are not allowed to
act as bartenders and the sale Of liquor
to women, to be carried from the
premises, is prohibited.
Many hotel men, it is said, have been
unable to pay the expense of bartend-
ers, and their wives have been acting
in that capacity at times. A delega-
ton of liquor dealers have consulted
the judge over the Inconvenience i'm
posed upon them by the order.
The court insists that women may
not habitually work behinds bars, but
that it will be no violation of the rule
for wives of landlors to act temporarily
in their place in case of their absence
for brief periods.
