An Old Claim Paid.

Nothing is lost in a weil-regulated
railroad office. Over fourteen years
ago, says the Houston Post, the South
ern Pacific Railway Company had in
its employ a certain citizen of Shreve-
port who died in 1884. A few days
ago the widow, while looking over the
effects Of her late husband, accident
ally discovered among his papers an
old identification check, showing that
a certain amount Of wages was due
and owing the deceased at the time
of his death. The money had never
been called for, but at the same time
it was never lost track of. Conse-
quently, when a letter from Shreve-
port brought the old check to the
Southern Pacific office in this city,
with a request that the money be re-
mitted if the paper vas not outlawed,
it took just about ten minutes to look
I'D the old claim and have the exact
sum it called for mailed to the anx-
ious widow in Shreveport. Fourteen
years the Identification check has
been regarded as SO much waste pa.
per, but when curiosity at las
prompted its presentation, it wa
honored for what it called for, cen
for cent, and the amount forwarded
by the first mail.

has invented a ramie defibrator which
is said to be a success in every parti-
cuIar, and will it is believed, revolu-
tionize the manufacture of fabrics.
Other inventors, it is stated, have
been at work on q machine OF the
same kind for the past thirty years,
and although large amounts Of money
have been expended and premiums
have been offered by the governments,
they have not been successful. This
machine can be operated by q boy,
and has q capacity of 400 pounds per
day, against two pounds per day,
which is the output OF q mai in China.
The capacity of the machine may be
increased, according to requirements.

in South America and the Southern
States, is a possible substitute for cot
