SMALL SAVINGS.

Railway Employees Being Taught the
Value of Economy in Little Things.
Milwaukee employees Of the North
western road have been asked to save
the stubs of their lead pencils. A short
time ago the purchasing agent of the
road. Charles Hayward, assumed
charge of the supply department. re-
placing Edward Osgood, who had been
the supply man about ten years. I'M
mediately upon assuming charge Mr.
Hayward began to work out his plan of
reform He appointed an inspector,
and, after consulting with the superin-
tendents of the Galena and Wisconsin
divisions, w. E. Morse and T. A. Law
son, respectively, he decided to intro
duce the service of the Economy Spec
ial." Then he sent circulars to all
agents on the two divisions urging
greater economy. The inspector start
ed out with a lot of pencil holders,
which he distributed as a means for
getting the good out of pencil stubs too
short to be welded effectively.
1t is estimated that every year five
hundred dollars worth of pencil stubs
are thrown away by the employees who
have occasion to write and figure.
TOO many pen points, too, the supply
man gave out We're discarded before
their usefulness had fully passed. He
told the employees that instead of
throwing away pen points when they
became weak they would be expected to
revitalize them by heating them with
lighted matches. He ordered shopmen,
machinemen and engine cleaners to re-
turn their used waste to general head
quarters instead of throwing it away.
The old waste now is cleaned by pro-
cess and returned for further use. The
inspector now issues limited amounts
of waste, enough to meet requirements,
but not enough to warrant reckless
and extravagant application of it.
The reform has opened another bust
ness to the Vanderbilts and other own
ers of the road. 1t provides for the re-
turn of all ink-stained impression

very great number of which are used
annually, are collected by the chief of

the city, sacked and sold for old rags.

A TMo-DOG STORY

On one of the pleasant side streets of
Cleveland live two dogs-a large, dlgni-
fled hound and a saucy small fox ter
rier. The two are the best of friends,
and the big dog is always watching
over the little one and doing his best to
keep the pert fellow out of a fight.
But theotller day his watchfulness
failed. Another terrier came and
yelped defiance at the hounds comrade,
and when the big dog arrived upon the
scene it was to behold a frantic. tum-
bling, swapping heap, of which his ia
vorite was part.
He seemed to consider the state Of
things then gave a sign of patient dig
nifty, and began to walk around the
combatants, keeping a critical eve on
the struggle, and evidently acting the
part of umpire. His favorite was get
ting the worst of it, but he did not in
terfere. Maybe he thought the punish
ment of defeat was better than any he
could bestow. He watched silently till
all at once his friend gave yelp of real
pain and trouble, Then suddenly the
big dog awol1e. With a bound he was
beside the other two. With one tan of
his paw he sent the victor over into the
dust, grabbed his favorite in his mouth
as cat grabs her kittens, and made off
to his own back yard.
During the next hour he licked.
scolded and fondled the repentant ter
rier. And now the two are more devo-
ted than ever, though the little dog
seems more meek and decidedly more
obedient than of yore.--Cleveland Plain
Dealer

THANKSGIVING WEATHER.
Ground was White With Snow Yester
day Morning.

Ground was Wnlte with snow 1eSter-
day Morning.
New Haveners when they arose yes
terday morning and looked out of their
windows saw a genuine old-fashioned
Thanksgiving scene. The streets and
housetop We're white with snow, which
fell just before daylight. The scene
was, however, almost as 1leeting as are
those Of the stage, since by noon nearly
every vestige of the snow had disap-
peared, melted away leaving the side
walks wet and sticky The entire day
was cloudy, but there was no storm
until about o'clock, when a rain be-
gan and lasted during the early part of
the evening.
The snow which appeared yesterday
morning was surprise to the ordinary
mortal unskilled in weather signs. On
Wednesday evening, and even after
midnight, when the "nighthaWks" re-
tired, there was apparently no indica-
ton of snow. Enough of it fell, how
ever, to completely whten the ground.
The day was comparatively quiet for
holiday and was locally observed in a
sober manner, as many tell us it should
be observed. The streets were quiet as
of a Sunday, not many people being on
the street.
