who started out tracer for the car load
of ore. A tracer is a document on
which every agent, train conductor and
every other person who has had any
thing to do with the shipment must say
whence he took it and where he laid it
down. From the mine in Mexico the
car of ore was traced from junction
point to junction point until it was well
within the railroad company's local
yards at Kansas City, and thence to a
side track by the roundhouse and into
the possession of the master me-
chanic.
A car load of crushed gold ore looks
like lot of course yellow sand, and this
particular car load has been knocked
about and disrespected as a car of COM
mon sand should be. When the officials
were notified that the tracer had chased
the car into the master mechanics track
they sent him a note asking him about
the disposition of the car, giving its
number. The master mechanic turned
the note over and Endorsed it on the
back: THE car contained bad quality
of sand. Some of it used in the sand
boxes of the engines, but it was not
serviceable, so had it scattered along
the right of way" The railroad com
pany paid the smelling company $3.50
a ton for the bad sand"

Gently, shows yearly expenditure on
intoXicants of $40 for every man, wom-

Irishmen and Scotchmen, it seems,
have been much maligned in this con-
nection, for while the Englishman
drinks PAL gallons of alcohol yearly,
the Scotchman manages with 1.66 and
the Irshman with 1.54. The English
man spends $20.50, the Scotchman $15.t5
and the Irishman $685..

AN EXPENSIVE BLUNDER.
Away n Car Load of sand"
Full of Gold Ore.

Several months ago Kansas City
(Mo.) company bought car load of
crushed ore in Mexico. Adyices were
duly received that the ore had been
shipped-20 tons of it. The smelling
company politely asked the local agent
of the railroad company when the ore
would arrive. The local agent said he
had never heard of it. The smelling
company then appealed TO the general
agent of the road. The general agent
gave it up. Along the line the question
was passed until it reached an official

TIE SWEETEST MUSIC.

J was lounging, one night, in the lobby
OF our beautiful new hotel;
A minglng of varied music
On my sensitive hearing fell;
A guest, who was tired and homesick,
Was strumming a reverie
On the keys of the grand piano
In the foyer, over me.
From the poolroom there came through the
doorway
The clack of the cue and the ball;
From the barroom the clinking of glasses,
Bearing trouble enough for all;
The humming of conversation
Mid the travelling men about,
Gave tenor and bass to the chorus
Sweet music beyond a doubt
Near BY could see meath my hat rim
Stood lad, of the drummer stamp;
1t needed no close inspection

Until September.

The executive committee of the ma

Grand Army of the Republic has failed
to elect a successor to the late James A.

the encampment in September, when a
commander will be chosen.
