GALLIFFET'S "BLUFF."

LFrom the Youths Companion.1
Bravery in a military officer is a
commonplace virtue, since no man is
fit to be an officer unless he possesses
it. But presence of mind in great dan
ger is a rarer quality, and the officer
who possesses it needs only opportunity
to bring him distinction.
General De Galliffet, the French min
lister of war, and the most eminent Iiv-
ing French general, possesses presence
of mind in a high degree. During the
war of the Commune, Galliffet once
found himself at the Bergeries bridge,
Paris, surrounded on three sides by the
insurgent national guard. He was ac-
companied by a lieutenant only, Ber-
nard d'Harcourt by name. Escape was
impossible. Three thousand national
guards had their guns aimed at the two
officers.
we shall never get out of this alive!''
said the lieutenant.
We'll" said Galliffet, perhaps not,
but think we shall Follow mel
Galliffet proceeded to ride at a slow
trot directly toward the insurgents.
a man with a white beard, evidently
not a soldier by occupation, stepped
out and called:
What do you want?"
Then Galliffet proceeded to make a
speech in somewhat grandiloquent
manner. He pretended that he had
come from President Thiers-
'Frenchmen,' he said, listen! Shall
Versailles? Shall we not have peace?
Lay down your arms and all will be
well. If you persist, it is war to the
DEATH Frenchmen, choOse!"
A great clamOr rose among the in
surgents. The Communist leader spoke
up.
GO back to President Thiers,' he
shouted, "and tell him it is warl''
Il 60" said Galliffet. He wanted
nothing better, as his mission" was a
pure accident and he was as good as
a prisoner. He and the lieutenant rode
away. The lieutenants horse struck
into a galIop.
Hold oni" called GalHffet Don't
let them think we are in a hurry
they'll know what's up"
So the two officers walked their
horses out of range of the insurgent
rifles, and rejoined their command.
Two months later the gray bearded
Communist commander fell into the
hands of Galliffet, who gave him bis
liberty in agreeable remembrance of
the incident.

NEW COLORADO ROAD.
Work to Start on the Short Route
Line to Cripple Creek.

Colorado Springs, Oct. 12-John I.
Franklin returned today from New
York city, where he went on business
connected with the Cripple Creek and
Colorado Springs railway, commonly
known as the short line. What he ac-
complished is not given out, but it is
known that a force of men will be sent
out tomorrow morning to strike the
grade, over the route for which the sur
vey was made several months ago.
The survey as it is at present, will
take the road from Colorado City
through the Bear Creek canon, past the
Seven Lakes, and through Dyson park
to Cameron, where the connection will
be made with the district electric rail-
way. The route by the survey is 49
miles, and the motive power for the
road will be steam.

ABUNDANCE OF WORK.
If Men Are Now Idle They Are So
From Choice.

Denver, Oct. 12.-With a scarcity of
cars, a scarcity of labor and shiftless-
ness among such men as are willing to
work, the railroads everywhere are
having a hard time. The demand for
railroad Iaborers is greater in Denver
now than it has ever been before. An
employment agent said yesterday that
he could easily find places for 300 men
every day in the week. The Rio
Grande, the Burlington. the Colorado &
Southern, the Union Pacific, all have
track improvements going on in the
district supplied from Denver and are
making every effort to get men.
High wages in the railroad work are
counterbalanced by equally high wages
in farm work and other less arduOus
lines of business. Consequently, the
moment the railroads carry men into
any district to work on the track, the
farmers and shop keepers come with
offers of better positions, and the men
quit. With the approach of winter, and
the end of harvesting, it is expected
that the stringency in the labor market
will be relieved.

o. R. T. STRIKE LIKELY.
Trouble Between Telegraphers and
Big Four May Result Seriously.

-
Big Four May Result Seriously.
St. Louis, Oct 12.-Within less than
a week there is a strong probability
that a strike of the telegraphers of the
Big Four Railway will be declared. In
fact. the telegraphers of that system
who are members of the Order Of Rail
way Telegraphers have been sent slips
to vote for or against a strike, and
these votes have been requested to be
cast not later than October 13.
With the telegraphers of the Big Four
system are allied the conductors, the
brakemen and the Order of Railway
Trainmen. The engineers have refused
to become an ally of the telegraphers.
The cause of this unusual movement
1,T,ou the part of the telegraphers is a
demand for a raise of wages and a de-
mand for a conference by the officers
CT the Railway Telegraphers with the
officials of the Big Four. The teleg-
raDhers claim they have been refused a
conference by the railroad officials, and
in order to get a hearing have request
ed the members of the order working
on the system to vote upon the question
of a strike.
Secretary Sawyer of the general
grievance committee of the Order of
over half of the vote of the member
ship of the organization is in and that
80 per cent of this vote favors a strike
on the part of the telegraphers if the
demands of the body are not adhered
to by the Big Four company. Secretary
Sawyer says that already there is a suf-
ficient vote to call for the meeting of
the federated board, which includes the
trainmen, conductors and fremen.

SANTA FE MEN DISAGREE.
As a Result George Conride Has His
Head Split Open.

Geo. Conride and Raemont Mates,
both of whom work in the Santa Fe
yards, had a misunderstanding late
Wednesday afternoon and as a result
Conride had to have six stitches taken
in his head, where he was struck by an
iron bar by Mates.
The trouble happened this way: Con-
ride was loading a push cart at the
store house. and Mates, together with
a helper, came up with another push
cart, and ordered Conride to move out
of his way so that he could get past.
COnride didn't see that it was neces-
sary for him to move, as his cart was
heavily loaded and there was plenty
The Topeka state journal., 1899-10-12

of room for Mates to get past by sim
ply going around the side of the cart
Mates thought differently and as an
inducement for Conride to move, he
picked up an iron bar about three feet
long and hit him over the head with
it, cutting an ugly cash and causing the
blood to squirt out and flow down over
his shirt.
At first it was thought that Conride

washed and dressed, it was found that
it was only a bad flesh wound. Conride
