THE GREED FOR A "PAss."
A Popularity of Human Nature Aptly
Illustrated.

illustrated
A Santa Fe official often has a merry
laugh when he tells the story of how a
pass good for a hundred miles did more
than ten times the value of the pass
would have accomplished.
We were going to put up some snow
fences along the west side OF deep cut
between Usage City and EmpOria. The
farmer whose land we wished to place
the fence on was a hard man to deal
with. 1 went to him and asked him
for permission to place the fence on his
ground"

I do not want to be troubled with it.
I'VE will remove it as soon as winter
is over so it will not be in your way
when it comes time to do the spring

on my ground" he said as he turned to
I'VE will pay you We'll" I said as
followed after him
How much will you pay?'' he asked.
I gave him a good figure and when he
shook his head I raised it. raised it
three times but he was Obdurate.
'"Fhe next day / was talking with him
and asked him if he often went to En-
poria. He said he did once a year. If
you would allow us to erect our snow
fence on your land I believe could fix
you out with a pass
THE old man pondered for a minute.
DO YOU think YOU can get it for ne?'
Now I did not want to be too sure or
he might want more so 1 said 1 would
do my best but passes were hard to get.
THE next day I told him I guessed I
could make it and he gave US Pernis-
sion. The pass was for EmpOria and
return, a distance of 80 miles but it
struck the farmer in the right spot.
He showed it to all his friends and kept
it for several months before he used it
and when he handed it to the conductor
one might have thought from his air
that he was the after dinner talker of

BANK CHARTER REVOKED.
Mr.. Breidenthal Stops the Westmore-
land Bank From Doing Business.

The authority of the Westmoreland
State bank to do business has been re-
voked by the state bank commissioner,
John w Breidenthal, for failure to
comply with certain provisions of the
state banking law passed by the last
legislature.
This is the first action of the kind ta-
ken by the commissioner since the law
was passed.
Although he declines to make public
the reasons for revoking the banks au-
thority, it is inferred that it was be-
cause when it was organized to succeed
a national bank, it assumed assets Of
the national bank which were question

Preferred the Baby.

From the Washington Star.
once in a great while Mr.. Blykins de-
velops an impression that he is wiser
than his wife. This state of mind is only
occasional, owing the completeness of
demonstrations TO the contrary, which
almost invariably follow it. The baby
had been crying. All her efforts to
soothe il had been vain. and finally Mr..
Blykins laid down the book. whose
reading Ne had interrupted two or three
times a page TO cast blameful glances,
and said.
Julia, are you aware hat We pay
rent for only a portion of this building?
Does 1t occur to you that while we have
a right to fill this fiat full of noise as We
choose. we are not morally justified in
causing noise Ia overflow and pervade
the entire structure"
It's the baby that's crying" she
suggested.
You are not adopting the method
likeliest to quiet the child. You have
been humming TO it, but what the
child needs is music. H. him TO me
and I'll show you what l mean"
He took the child and proceeded To
chant a lullaby The little one stopped
crying and stared at him.
There" SAT- Mr.. Blykins. as he
reached the end Of a verse. 4" what ne
wanted was music, real music. He
wasn't TO be fooled with any make-be-
lieving humming. or course the fact
that | used to sing in a Elee club and
had my voice cultivated may make a
difference, too"
He had not got very far into the
next stanza when there came a ring at
the bell. lie gave the baby 10 his wife.
while he opened the door. \ girl of IL
or Il said:
Were the people who have just
moved into the Hat above. There's a
sick lady with Us, and says If it's all
the same TO you. would YOU mind let
ting the baby cry instead Of singing To
it?"
