LIKE The AXLE G Il
Postal Clerks Pleased With New Santa Re
Movement.

Movement.
The three standard postal cars built In
the Santa Fe shops and now running be
tween Kansas City and Chicago are Civ
ing entire satisfaction. The postal clerks
who run on them pronounce them the
best In the service. The Axle electric
light, with which they are equipped. is
one OF the best features of the equip
ment. The light Is stronger, steadier
and better than any before tried. Other
systems OF electric lighting that have
been tried by the government In the pos.
tai cars has not given satisfaction for the
reason that they have not burned stead
lily, but have iickered, making 1t quite
wearing on the eyes Of the mail clerks.
The three ears have being fitted aud are
being tried as an experiment and II may
be that the system will be adopted by
the government in all Of their cars.

The Lobster Reached Ont.

was born in the same month as Washing

ingiy His wife had expressed a desire
yesterday morning for lobster. Not the
common canned stuff. but live lobster the
real thing. In spite of the days exhilara-
lion the Vender of town lots remembered
this, and before starting for home bought
TWO Of the finest wlde-spreading crusta-
ceans that ever came out of the Atlantic
To insure their arrival in good condition
he had them put in a large market basket
half hiled with ice. and covered them with
Il piece of paper. AS soon as he got on a
9TH avenue car the trouble began. Those
Holsters grew tired of their seclusion and
began to get In touch with their surround
lnSS- The car was crowded and their own
er had to stand
Suddenly a sharp-faced spinster startled
the car with screams of Help. Pickpock-

Everybody looked at the supposed cul-

Into laughter. One of the Holsters was still

PIRAMIDAL PIRATES,
Arab Guides Are Successful in Ex-

A writer in the Sphinx, of Cairo, Egypt,
gives this amusing account of his expert
ence with the Arab guides that attended
his ascent of the Great Pyramid. In TAX
ing the visitor to the top. he states, the
rascals wait till they get him about half
way up on some particularly "skeery" por-
ton of the ascent obviously what the lat
ter-day novelists call the psychological mo-
ment, and make unanimous demand for
baksheesh- One does not feel like begrudg-
ing few piastres at such moment Your
glance strays uneasily down the appalling
length and breadth Of that huge steep
stairway of jagged boulders and you shud-
derfngly wonder how many piastres it
would take for repairs TO your anatomy if
you were to take an impromptu toboggan
slide to the bottom To keep up their en-
thusiasm and give them an object in get
ting you back alive you promise them
something You find the whole village
waiting for you with open palms at the
bottom. They swarm over you like ST.

and bully you out of all your change, your

then nearly mob you for not having more
You shake off the last of your pursuers at
the door of the hotel. pull yourself together
with sigh of relief, and journey home

otherwise and better managed before you
appear amid the pyramids again.

1T TAKES NERVE.
Life of a Station Agent Down In In
dian Territory.

dian Territory.
From the ST. Louis Globe-Demoerat
1t requires nerve and good Judgment to be
an agent of the railroads at many stations
in the Indian territory. The railroad sta
ton is the rendezvous of idiers and tough
men who delight in annoying passengers
who alight from the trains-not so much
now as of yore, but occasionally, when
filled up with alcohol, the bad men will
break out even now. some of the stations
on the railroads are literally riddled with
bullets, while many ofythe agents have suf-
fered all kinds of ANNOYANCE and indigni-
ties. Mark Witmar, At Catoosa, was
for time at Red Fork, While at the lat
ter place as "a, agent 81 ee frse ssa ne was was
night when man enteredrthe depot hur-
riedly. The agent did not look up until he
heard gruff voice command:
Throw up your handS.2
wait until l takef this, message said
Witmar, land l will talk to you"
ITO HI with your message. l want the
cash in this ranch" Tie bad man with the
until he finished taking THE telegram. and
then he arose nd.Gfacsd the window
through which As sixsssho6ter was pointed.
Now | am ready te , what you have
II say. throw up your hands while you
listen to me-" said the bandit.
II will never throw up my hands to any
body hut God" was Witmars reply.
well, 1. am Gods agent, understand, =
growled the bad man, land say up with
your hands, and be quick about it,
well, sir, am the agent of this railroad
company. and I'll be id If obey" was
Witmar's dead game reply.
Just at that stage Of the game footsteps
were heard outside on the platform, and
the would-be robber made dash for the
door and disappeared in the darkness.
Another incident in which an agent at
sapulpa played the star part is worth re-
cording. One night when all was quiet at
law, came in and pushed a murderous-look-
ling weapon through the ticket window, and
commanded the agent to give up the cash
"Rill." said the agent, .take that Internal

reserve. Since the unanimous opinion Of
the experts who have given their lives to
the study of the question in all its aspects
has decided in favor of the heavily arm
ofed battle ship, with is enormously pow
erfu. and destructive armament, as the
most effective of fighting machines on the
sea, that opinion undoubtedly rests on
scientific and practical reasons which are
worth immensely more than the crude i'm
pressions of the non-professional mind.
And yet, In view of the glorious record
made by our own Monitors IL is naturally
a subject of wonderment to the untaught
and inexperienced observer that they should
be so generally ignored and our vast ex-
penditures for the creation of a new and
modern navy devoted to the construction
OF ships of pattern which cannot yet be
said to have been tried in battle
