THE PEACOCK AND THE CLAM.

A Lobster who had just returned
from a long adventuresome jour
ney across the country was questioned
by the Clam as to the incidents of his
trip. and he declared that the most
beautiful sight he encountered was a
bird called Peacock. The richness
of the plumage was beyond compari-
son, and the figure of the bird could
not be improved. So much was said
that the CLAIMS curiosity was aroused,
the next day he set off on a journey
to view the wonder for himself. When
he had come to the place the Peacock
strutted before him with tail expanded,
and the Clam had to acknowledge that
the Lobster had not overdrawn things.

The Frog can jump as far as you can,
and no one ever hears him brag about
it,"
Say, old man, the Frog isn't in it
with met" exclaimed the boastful
young Hopper. He is keeping still
because he knows I can beat him. Just
let him jump with me if he dares!"
This def having come to the Frog,
he appointed a time and place to test
the question. When the day came
there was a great gathering of Hop
pers and Frogs, and the distance was
measured off on the banks of river.
1t was agreed that the Frog should
jump first, and this he did, and when
he covered only six feet and eight
inches of ground a groan went up
from his side and a cheer from the
other. Then the young Grasshopper
gathered his legs under him and made
his jump, and 10! he passed the seven
foot mark and landed in the whirling
waters of the stream and was carried
away to be drowned.

He DOESN'T LIKE MAN|LA.
Gardner Glad to Get Away From
a Torrid Climate.
ISLANDS ARE WORTHLESS
Will Not Recompense Us for the Blood
Which Has Been Spilled in Con-
quering Them-But We Must
Keep Them Now.

Captain Charles Gardner, until a few
weeks ago in command of B company
of the LIST Montana volunteers, arrived
nome yesterday morning. Captain
Gardner arrived in San Francisco about
six weeks ago in company with Lieu
tenant McGrath, Sullivan and Kepp-
ner, and has since been enjoying life in
the coast metropolis. Captain Gardner
suffered greatly from the effects of eli
matte conditions in the Philippines, was
sick a great deal, and when he arrived
IN America he was so pounds lighter
than when he left Butte He still LOOKS
tnin, but is rapidly recuperat ting and
says he is feeling none of the effects Of
his illness. Captain Gardner expressed
himself as heartily glad to get away
from Manila's torrid and unhealthy eli
mate, and to get home to Butte, though
like all the others who left before the
hshting, he was sorry to be compelled
10 miss seeing active service.
Captain Gardner declined to discuss
matters in the regiment or the circum-
stances leading up to his leaving it,
though from what he did say the i'm
ference was drawn that there is alto
gether more politics in the command
than is good for the best interests Of
the regiment
Captain Gardner is not the least fav-
orably impressed with the Philippines,
though he is now in favor of holding
them.
AS matter of actual value of the
islands to this country at this time"
said he, they are not worth any part
of the blood that has been spilled for
them already, but l favor their reten-
tlon now inasmuch as we have taken
them. l think much the wiser course
would have been never to have taken
them in the first place. Having got
them, however, l can see no other
course than to keep them for every
consideration, not the least of which Is
the manifest untitness of the natives to
govern themselves. In time the Stands
will be valuable and future generations
may come to consider them worth all
the blood, treasure and trouble they
will have cost, for in my Judgment
try is favorable to not a few industries
after the country and the inhabitants
have been thoroughly reconstructed.
But that time won't come until you
and l and all the rest of this generation
are dead and another has come and
gone. At present / would not give a
great deal for the whole group, and be
compelled to live there I can recall
but three businesses which would be
likely to be profitable for Americans.
One might start a brewery, an ice
plant or a laundry and do WELL but
can think of nothing else that would
give very big returns for some years 10
come, at least till everything has
changed. For me, I prefer to take my
chances in Butte

Tho Price of silver.

Topeka. Kan, March 23.--John T. Ora
ham of Denver, who owns extensive god
and silver mines iii Colorado and New
Mexico and copper mines in Utah, passed
through Topeka to-day on his way to his
home. Mr.. Graham operates smelling
plants at his various mines. and he has
been in New York in attendance at the
meeting of smelling operators. which re-
suited in the perfection of a gigantic
trust with a capital of s65 100000
While in the city Mr.. Graham made the
important statement that the first step
made by the new trust would be the ad-
vance in the price Of silver 10 per cent.
This is trust that will prove beneti-
cial instead of oppressive said M Ora
ham. ''All the smclter operators who en-
tered into the combine signed a contract
agreeing not to raise the price of the treat
mcnt of ore for 10 years. The advance in
silver will be made within a very short
time continued Mr.. Graham. Just as
soon as the combine can be perfected"

Some idea of what the Northern Pa
| citic is doing can be gained by compar-
! ing the time of the limited trains be-
| tween St. Paul and Chicago, and the
trains of the Northern Pacific between
| Spokane and Tacoma. The latter two
| points We're selected because the mile
| age is practically the same as the short
est route between Chicago and ST. Paul.
| From st. Paul TO Chicago is 402 miles,
| from Tacoma to Spokane 401 miles. The
! time consumed between St Paul and
| Chicago is II hours and 10 minutes, an
average of 301 miles an hour. Between
| Spokane and Tacoma the time is l.
| hours and 40 minutes, an average of %l.5
| miles an hour In computing the ave
rage rate Of speed per mile nc account
| is taken of stops. The actual speed of
| the train while running is close to 10
miles an hour. When it IS remembered
| that trains between 81. Paul ana Chi
| cago contain about six cars. while those
| of the Northern Pacific 0Verllnds con-
| tain from to 10 cars, and that no s2ri-
Gus Typographical difficulties are found
east Of st. Paul, while on the Western
run the Cascade mountains mus be
crossed. the performance of the North
ern Pacific is unequaled in the North
west.
Any one thinking Of applying at the
Union Pacific headquarters for a posi-
ton in any department of the road
must first make sure of his age. Age
limit is one of the strictest rules in force
on the road under the present manage
ment A few days ago a resident Of
Omaha applied at the auditors office
for position. says the Bee. There
were two vacancies there. He was
qualified for either of them, and had
recommendation from many of the
leading wholesalers and shippers in the
city. He seemed to satisfy every re-
qurement made at the office. and felt
he was to be given one of the places.
when he was asked his age He was
year or so past 40, and was informed
this was an insurmountable bar to his
employment.
Inquiries at headquarters developed
the fact that this rule prevails every
where on the system, but is more strict
ly applied in the auditors office. In
other departments it is generally ap-
piled, but occasional exceptions are
made in extraordinary cases. One of
the officers in defending the rule said
to equip himself in almost any branch
of railroad work. After becoming Pro-
ficient the company is entitled to some
years more of his service in return for
preparing him for the work. when a
man begins service at 40 years or past"
said this official, 'he is we'll up in the
SOS before it can be said he is a capable
railroad man, and another rule in force
there, retiring a man when he reaches
the age of 60, places the company in the
position of educating the employee only
to discharge him when he becomes of
value to the road
