ADVENTURE AT LONG TUNNEL
By c. W. REAnER. Copyrighted, 1900, by Reansro

Photographers are essentially a class
OF rovers. In the daily course Of their
business they are brought in touch with
points hundreds, even thousands Of
miles distant. The sense Of distance is
thus lost and at the same time a feel
ing of restlessness is created which
can be satisfied only by travel. To this
rule I formed no exception. For several
years l had knocked abOunt the coun-
try at random. ! had seen service in
both the large commercial telegraph
companies and on many railroads. l
had Travelled by Pullman and by freight,
according to the state of my finances
at the time, and in the course of these
travels / had met with many expert
ences which, when viewed RETROSPECT
lively, are frightened by the glamour
of romance, but at the time were terri
bly, real One of these is the story
which / have to relate.
1t was in the spring of 1890 that, in
the course of my wanderings, L drift
ed into Asheville. My finances were in
a depleted state, and it became neces-
sary to replenish them. Several days
had been spent in a vain search for a
position, when / dropped in to see the
superintendent of telegraph on one of
the great railroads leading out of Ashe-
Vile Putting on my best front asked
him if he needed a first-class operator.
We'll" said he. looking me over
quizzically, Il do need a man if he's
the right kind. Where have you

mentioned the name of a single rail-
road only. Rowing telegraphers are not
favored.
ANY references?"
1 produced a soiled paper that had
accompanied me through all my wan
behring's.
"a little STALE" he said, "and some
what the worse for wear, but it looks
all right. Go into the next room and
Mr.. Jones will see what dne can do
He took me to the door and intro
duced me to the dispatcher. who was
sitting at a table with the train record
spread before him.
We'll" said the dispatcher, turning
to me, answer that fellow calling
'Hx'"
1 answered, took the message and
handed il to him. He looked at the
handwriting approvingly.
Now" he said, send him that one. "
When / had done so he took me to
the superintendent.
We'll" said the superintendent, when
he had heard the report, Il guess you'll
do. Now, want you to go to the east
end of Long tunnel. We are widening
the tunnel for three tracks. While this
work is going on one Of the two tracks
at present there will necessarily be
blocked, and we will have to run trains
through the tunnel on a single track
For this purpose we have opened a tel
egraph office at ench end of the tunnel
The position will be one of responsible
fly. You will have to be constantly on
the alert-nO going to sleep and losing
trains there" he added, warningly.
Il thank you for your kindness" ]
answered. When shall I go?''
BE ready to go on duty tomorrow

Il shall give a good account of my
self. 1 answered as left him.
The next morning I boarded the train
for my new field of labor. Long tunnel

A CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
rhc Good Qualities Of an Onion and
1Ns t1uns.

The Good Qualities Of an Onion and
Its Uses.
One of the best and simplest cures
for insomnia Is said to be the odor Of
raw onions. They should be mashed
to u pulp in order to free all the juice.
Smell this substance for ten minutes
after retiring and the result Is dream
less sleep. 1t Is said to quiet the most
nervous person and relax the most over
wrought nerves.
Onions contain n form of Quinine.
This gives them sOporlilc qualities. The
smell after little while ceases to be
obnoxious. People who are exceeding
ly sensitive to odors will feel no un.
pleasant effect. 1t will not induce
headaches or nausea as might be sup
posed. A gentle lethargy steals over
the person heroic enough to try this
means of wooing slumber. The senses
become dull, the nerves weakened and
restful sleep follows.
The medical properties of onions are
well known. One eaten raw every night
Just before retiring for month In the
spring Is recommended to produce a
clear. fresh complexion. An onion plas.
ter will relieve hoarsencss and inflam.
nation. Raw onions mashed and ap.
piled as poultice to the throat will re.
levc sore throat. The same poulticc OH
the chest Is effective In cases of bron.
chitls and where there Is soreness In
the lungs. At least onion enthusiasts
claim that all these things are true.

Sir Charles Warren Wants His Even

Sir Charles Warren Is exceedingly
fond of his morning tub. Even when In

effort to cross the Tugcia, finding 1t i'm
possible to leave his post when day

Sir Charles ordered his servant to
bring to him his portable bath, with
water, sponge and every other acces.

Redvcrs Butler, anxious to confer with
Warren, chose that identical moment
to send his orderly to tell him so. II

Practical Methods Of the Late PaysOn
Tucker In Railroad Matters.
Two incidents in the railroad life of
PaysOn Tucker are being told that well
illustrate what a worker he was ana
how attentive to the details of busi-
ness, says a Maine newspaper. Sew
eral years ago he was up on the Noun
tain division Of the Maine Central
road, and looked over the grounds Of
one of the stations. Nothing more than
the usual conversation passed ana he
returned to his car and went back to
Portland. Nearly u year passed be-
fore he had occasion to call at the sta.
ton again, and then he stepped OF the
car, chatted pleasantly few moments
with the station agent, and then asked:
"Do you have all the help you want
here?"
"Hes, sir; all that we need
quite sure you have enOugh!'
"ies, sir; there Is not much to be
done at so small station
"Well, ] feared you We're rushed to
death and could not find time to re-
move that pile of old bricks saw the
last time | was here"
With that the general manager OF the
road stopped over the pile of bricks,
and, without removing his kid gloves,
continued the work until the last one
was neatly piled up. The station
agent never forgot the lesson, and
from that time on the station was one
of the neatest on the line Of the road.
At another time break had been
committed on one Of the stations on the
back road, ana the next day after the
notice of the break had been wired to
Portland Mr.. Tucker CHANGED to pass
that way. After looking things over
Mr.. Tucker asked what had been lost,
and the agent quickly ran over the
amount of money and tickets stolen.

This didn't have any effect.
The Reformcr still held out.
So the Republican County Board had
to again go after this model ex-ofliclal.
on May 9, 1852, the Republican Coun.
ty Board. by unanimous vote, adopt
ed the following resolutions, including
an amendment by Commissioner Sen.
ne. that the chairman of the Com
mittec on Hospitals and County Attor-
ney and Warden ascertain how much
Is due from the late cX-Wardcn ID. w.
Mills"
Whereas. The books Of the Cook
County Hospital show that ID. w. Mills,
late Warden of that institution, Is In
debtcd to the county in nearly the sum
of S1.1OO, and
Whereas. -Four months have elapsed
since he retired from the position of
Warden, and during all that time he
has failed to make good his indebted
ness. although he has been repeatedly
notified to settle. and has as repeatedly
promised to do; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the County Attorney
be and he Is hereby ordered to proceed
and collect the same by due process of
law.
How is that for n record to begin
with?
Nice refOrmcr Mills Is. isn't he?
Well, the thing dragged along and
dragged along.
Mills was n Republican and the Re-
publican County Board hated to stir up
a stink, as IN important election was
approaching.
But the press and the people were
after d. W. Mills hotter than ever, and
so OH Sept. %, 1882 nearly year after
d. w. Mills was deposed from the
wardcnshlp Of the County Hospital,
the Republican County Board unanl.
mOusly adopted the following resolu.
tion:
Resolved, That the special commit.
tee appointed to investigate the present
management Of the Cook County Hos.
pltal be and they are hereby author.
lied to investigate the management of
the said hospital under ID. w. Mills;
also all the books Of account, books and
papers used by said Warden Mills In
connection with the running Of the
hospital during his administration, and
make full report to this Board, to-
gether with the amount of money due
Cook County by said Warden Mills.
Finally on Nov. 20. 1882, nearly q
year after ID. w. Mills ceased to be
Warden OF the Cook County Hospital
the Special Investigating Committee
submitted the following report, which
was adopted:
Your committee further recommend
that when eX-Warden Mills pays into
