Jokers That Didn't Joke.

Some OF the G.. III. boys were relating
an interesting incident which occurred
TO three of their friends some time ago.
Augustine Smith is the name Of a
character who does odd jobs around
the round house and yard office. He
came to Ell Paso with the grading gang
of the G. II. s. S. A. road and has been
in the service of that company ever
since. He rather enjoys the privilege
of being independent of all bosses
around the shops but he IL accommo-
dating in the extreme. Augustine, as
he is Familiarity called ha' always been
suspected of having hidden wealth.
He has always made fair wages and
while he drinks to excess 1t l. said by
those who are supposed to know that
liquor costs him but very little.
When he INDUCES in q spree"
he borrows five or ten cents here and
there aud in this manner continues
drunk for several days at a time. On
one particular occasion three of the
shop men concluded that they were 60
ing to have some fun with him. They
decided upon entering his room after
night, overpowering him and, If pos
sible. compel him to tell where he was
hiding his money. Their approach
on Augustine's mansion was heard by
him and he cody went to work to give
the intruders warm reception.
He watched their success in
opening the door OF MS
residence and when they had succeed
ed in gaining an entrance Augustine
quickly shut the door behind them and
begin active work with cub. The
would be robbers took in the situation
at a glance aud their pleadings we're
loud and pitiful. Augustine being a
tender-hearted creature spared the
heads of the iptruders and allowed
them to deport with a portion of life
still left in them. They departed rap
idly, as igpors ut OF the whereabouts of
Augustine's wealth as before they en-
tered the house.

DISCUSSING DIfFEReNTlAlS.
Mr.. stubbs Says the Canadian Road Car
Compete on Equal Terms.

Mr.. stubb. Say. the Canadian Road Can
Compete on Equal Terms.
Chicago, Oct. 12-Freight Traffic
Manager Bosworth spoke on behalf OF
the Canadian Pacific railroad company
before the board OF arbitration to-day.
In advocating the relation OF the differ
entail rates. he emphasized the fact
that the government subsidy granted
the Canadian Pacific would not be sur
ncient to compensate the company for
the loss OF freight traffic III the diner
entails were abolished.
Mr.. stubbs reviewed the entire hie-
tory OF the competition W the
American lines and the Canadian Pa
cihc for freight business from the time
the Canadian was completed TO the Pa
cihc coast I'm 1855. He showed at hrst
the Canadian Pacific may have labored
under serious disadvantages as COM
pared with Its American competitors
For that reason, IL was permitted 10
make lower rates than the American
lines. not by agreement, but by suffer-
ance. Ever since its inauguration as n
trancontinental line IL had insisted up
on making rates lower by 10 per cent.
than its American competitors. IL was
argued that the Disadvantages
under which the foreign line labored
at first no longer are In evidence. II
was shown that II operates on an equal
basis with the roads Of this country.
IL IL is at n disadvantage as compared
with the Southern Pacific for south Pa
cifc coast traffic. the Southern Pacific
IL at an equal disadvantage In COM
peting with Il for northern Pacific coast
traffic. For these reasons II Is argued
that Il should be obliged TO make as
high rates for hauling freight from
points In this country to points on the
east coast territory within the bounds
OF the United States as the American
lines.
MT. Stubbs' argument was for the
abolition OF the entire differential in
favor OF the Canadian Pacific and an
insistence hat the foreign line shall be
compelled In freight business as II Is
now compelled in passenger business to
make the same rates as are used by the
roads of his country. He Will COM
plete his argument tomorrow.
