The Magician and the King.

There is good story told of a ma
gician who has passed the great divide
He was a world Travelled player, and
his wanderings set him upon one occa-
sion in faraway New Zealand. 1t was
arranged that he should give an exhibit
tion of mind reading before the king of
the Maoris. After some parleying it
was decided that the king himself should
conceal the article which the magician
was to discover.
The mind reader left the room and,
after a time, was brought back blind
folded, as is the custom in such per-
formances. After some time the ma
gician declared that the hidden article
was in the kings mouth. His majesty
shook his head savagely in the mega
tive. The magician insisted upon his
point and demanded that the king 3
mouth be opened wide The king re-
fused.
The magician insisted, and the ex-
element became very great until at
last the dusky king reluctantly opened
his jaws. The article was not therel
The next instant, however, the king
was taken with a violent fit of cough
ing. He had tried to swallow the lost
article, a button, but could not, and
was compelled to cough it up.
The Maeris were uproarious with
mirth. They did not know which to
admire the more-the wisdom of the
magician or the heroism of the king

n. HID. MCGdl1idrd Has a Time
Card Eight Years Older Than
That OF Newton, kdn.,

The following interesting letter has
been sent to the HERALD for publ1ca-
tion-
The HERALD of Nov. % bad an
article in the Link and Pink column
headed SAN Old Time Card" The card
is said to have been given by Engineer
John Snyder of Newton, Kan, and
according TO the Kansas City Journal,
it ia an old relic and quite a
-curio.
Now, will say that the HERALD
can 90 the JOurp al several points bet
tor In regard tn old time cards, for l
have in my possession card that was
given to me on engine No. 3, 1910.
L. : ante-dates the Snyder card
eighs years or in other words Is eight
years older than his and a greater
curiosity than card No. IS. My card
is Nc. and went into effect June 10,
1870.
Gard Is is no. in it. That card is
only Il kid;my card is perhaps the old
est card of the Santa Fe road in ex-
istsnce. Tom Peters was manager at
that time aud William Pagan assist
ans superintendent. Not an official or
m eTnploye that was on the road In
those days is in any way connected
with it row.
aH- v. FAIRIES was master me haclc
and she only thing the compa ~ bad In
the way of a shop WAS little BLACK
smith shop made out OF rough boards
about II and Is feet square and eight
feet high standing in the weeds aud
tall sunfiowers, the top of it just per-
cep4ible above the weeds.
Time card No. was made out to
EDporis, but bne track was only
finished t. Ha-ton, some ten or twelve
miles from Empo-ia. That was the
extent of the road of the great Santa
Fe system at that time.
We ad three engines, two old ones
and one new ore called 1.-The Dauntless"
or No. 3, on Itch the under signed was
aboard.
IA conclusion I will cay that the old
tiEo card ia at my residence, lob
Msgoffin ave. and any evening L will
be pleased to show it to any one that
has n curiosity to see such relic OF
early railroading.

The RIGHT Kind of Spirit.

The various subscription papers
which have been circulated among the

testimonial to the widow of yard mas
ter Scott are now closed. The matter
was in the hands of Messrs. Kingsberry,
Ostrander, Weber, Tegetmeyer, and

been sent Mrs. Scott. Nearly every
man in the yards and shops and on
runs out of Ell Psso subscribed. and the

mert as generous and disinterested as
was this Perhaps no other set of
wage earners would have given so
having done anything out of the or

Magyar AristOcrats.

The Hungarian aristocracy has the
largest estates Of any nobility in Eu-
rope The manner of living of these
grands seigneurs is strongly patriarchal
Their country chateaux are comforta-
BILE, but unpretentious. and are lordly
in nothing but the hospitality of their
owners. The stranger and the native
are alike made welcome within the
doors of these old manor houses and in
vited to sit down at table like friends
of the family.
If a stranger drives up to the en-
trance door of q Hungarian chateau,
Immediately and before any questions
are asked concerning the visitors bust
ness, even before the master of the
house has made his appearance, a legion
of servants rush forward and carry the
visitors baggage to one of the half doz-
en- rooms always ready to receive guests,
invited or otherwise. When the Hun.
garians wish particularly to honor a
guest, Is or 90 courses are served at
dinner, but as the Magyars have in ev-
erything the utmost respect for lnd1-
vidual liberty no gnest is ever pressed
to eat or drink.
t'You are at home. Do as you would
at home" says the master of the house
as he greets you on your arrival. Liv-
ing as they do, away from court and
court life, these proud Magyar aristo-
Gratis ask nothing and expect nothing
from the sovereign, and maintain in
consequence their pride, dignity and
independence of character. -Argonaut

A Change in Track Management

President FELTON,, of the Alton, has
favored the policy, which is in opera
ton on a number of eastern roads,
which gives supreme authority in the
road, bridge and general trackage con-
st ruction to civil engineers, instead of
road masters. He has directed that the
division roadmsste-s, who have been
drawing q salary of S125 per month in
the past. shall be reduced to S75, and
their duties restricted to track work
Exclusively. The engineering depart
ment under Mr.. Jonah and Chief En-
gineer q. @. D-aper will supervise all
other work hitherto under the control
of the general and division roadmas-
terra.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUI

RINeLINe BROS GREAT SHOW
This stupendous Amusement institution
Shortly to Exhibit Here.

The appearance of Ringing Brothers
famous Worlds Greatest Shows in The
Dalles, Saturday, June 10th, will be the
biggest amusement event of the season.
Ringing Bros circus is the leading
arenic institution in the world, and a
visit from this great show is equivalent
to bringing an international exposition
to the doors of the people. Since last
season the show has been tremendously
enlarged in every department, while the
discriminating work of the shows army
of foreign agents is evidenced by the as
sembling of the most remarkable COM
pany of high-salaried, sensational artists
every seen with an arenic exhibition.
Among the world-famous aerialists are
the wonderful Fisher family, the great
est of all great mid-air eYolutionIsts !;
Mile. Turnour, the peerless equilibrist,
and Alvo, Boise and Fickard, emperors
of the aerial bars. The marvellous Da
Comas head the company of unequaled
acrobats. Nine. Ada CASTILLO and her
wonderful trained horse, Jupiter, are
striking features of the international
display of high class horses. In the
riding section, which is remarkable for
large number of equestrians of world
wide fame, Albert Crandall reaches the
linit of novelty by burlesque riding
act upon mule. The clowns are num-
erous, and what is better, they are funny.
The trained animal portion of the pro-
gram is a complete show itself. Lock
hart's elephant comedies, company OF
animal actors which presents the most
laughable plays and farces with the in
telligence of human players, create a
sensation everywhere. Herr Souder's
elephant brass band is equally as re.
markable. Marchand's pugilistic ele.
plants are also wonderful in their way
Sunlin's performing bull is an illustra
| ton of what can be done with this usual
| ly intractable domestic animal. As ar
| instance of trained animal intelligence
! however, even the elephant comedians
are surpassed by the intellectual quail
tiles displayed by O'Brien's equescur
