Bob Humes' Railroad Story.

Railroad men will appreciate the fol-
lowing story which r. W. Humes of the
Northern Pacific, who was Yakima
visitor last week. told to circle of
friends. The tough "brakey" entered
the division superintendent's Office Of a
western road with "Say, are you de ring
master here?" The superintendent,
who had risen from the ranks and nn-
derstood the lingo. replied that he was.
"Well, do you want an acrobat" was
the startling query that followed. The
superintendent thought he might make
place for him and informed him to that
effect, when his visitor said, "All right.
Do you want me on de calliope or to
chase de cages?" This was almost too
much for the superintendent but he man
aged to stammer ont that he could have
the lower place with the opportunity to
work himself up gradually to the presi-
dency OF the road.
