STORIES OF THE TOWN.

There is a young lawyer whose Office
is in the Columbian building who is
one of the most genial of men but like
many brain workers he is absent-mind-
ed He takes his lunches down town
and has meal ticket al a well known
restaurant. It happened not long ago
that this gentleman had no money in
his pocket He has a supply in the
bank but it happened that he had neg
Iected to repIenish his supply.
He was deep in reflection over a le-
gal proposition when he left his office
and moved up the street completely alb
sorbed in his own thoughts. He did net
notice that he had walked directly past
the restaurant at which he was &C
custOmed to eat his luncheon and into
the door of another. The attorney or
dered bread and butter, coffee and fish
The waiter appeared strange but he
thought nothing of that When he
tasted the things set before him his
face began TO change
Here waiter. he roared- What do
you mean by giving me such stuff as

Well. call it slop-'
The waiter tried to explain that the
coffee was all right but the young man
would not listen to him
And this is fresh bread. I suppose
Why you might knock a horse down
with a piece as big as your fist. I want
TO tell you one thing right now and
that this place is getting bad tell

The poor waiter was very much
hustered and during the progress of the
meal he tried to keep at the farther
side of the place as If anticipating an
other outburst-
When the attorney got up from the
lunch counter he walked over to the
cashiers stand and threw his meal
ticket down with considerable force.
The man at the desk looked at the
ticket and showed it back. That does

A Railroad SWAP.

The only straight-out railroad swan
ever heard of was when the Santa Fe
company traded its Mexican division
winch runs from Benson, Ariz to
GuayTnas, the chief port of the Gulf of
california for a line owned by the
Southern Pacific. from the Needles to
MOhave, in the California desert The
Sonora branch of the Santa F'e was
353 miles long. while the Needles branch
of the Southern Pacific was onIv 240
but the difference in the construction
and equipment made them about the
same value, and the exchange was
even on both sides Thus the Southern
Pacific got a line to the Gulf of Cali
fOrnia and an important Mexican trade
and the Santa Fe got to the Pacific
ocean via Los Angeles and San Diego.
E P Ripley. president of the Santa Fe
and Mr. Huntington. of the Southern
Pacific. made the trade as easily as if
they had been swapping knives.-Sauta
