7 OF THE BOOK.
n Wa Hidden for Five Years Before
Ita whereabouts Was
Revealed

-once in awhile something out Of
the usual happens in the daily life OF
government elerkA which serves to
break the monOtony Of the work"
said q clerk in the interior depart
ment, reports the Washington Star.
Occasionally, in all Of the depart
ments, records or papers will mysteri-
ously disappear, and how they got
away or where they went remains al
ways an unsolved problem.
about five years ago a large book
containing the records used In y
Of the bureaus Of this department
suddenly disappeared. How it could
have gotten out Of the room without
hands was unaccountable, as 1t was
q bulky, heavy volume. II was Of
no value as q salAble article, and the
motive Of the theft was as ineIphc-
able as its Whereabouts.
'Dihgent search was made at once,
but to no avail. The search was not
given up, however, and was aiterward
periodically made in hopes that It
would be found In an unexpected
place.
And Il was found in such q place
. few days ago. One. Of. the clerks
happened TO look upon the seat Of
the chair Of another clerk-an elder
" lady with poor eyesight-and there,
under . piece Of outer covering, lay
the big book. The lady is a short
person. and the book had faithfully
preserved its records and held her up
for Ave long and weary years with
out complaint. There was a general
laugh at her expense, but the chief
was very glad Il was eventually found
In the office.
"oflcial papers are often blown
from the desks Of clerks into the
street. Sometimes they arc OF imPOr'
lance, but usually they may be re
placed with q slight delay eonstitut
ing the only loss.
"A clerk carelessly laid Ave ten-dol
lar bills on his desk in a room OF
the Seventh street side OF the former
post Office department building on
pay day 9 few years ago. 1t wal

wind preceding a heavy thunderstorm

"one day, in this department, som

A RAILROAD DOG.
A Irish setter That UNed to Flag
CrOasiAEs on n Chicago
Engine.

The only active" railroad dog In
the country, the only mi on the pay
roll Of a railroad line, is dead. That
was Fdo. who seven years ago, when
only q slip Of q pup, was picked up
In the yard Of the Chicago, Lake Shore
a Eastern road, and, as the Chicago
Tribune says, chung to the place ever
after.
One Of Fido's accomplishments was
Tagging crossings for locomotive No.
30. In the discharge OF that duty,
three years ago, he prevented an
accident and probably saved the road
. lawsuit
A peddler was approaching the Wa
bandA avenue crossing when Edo
came along, looking, as usual. 10 see
II all was we'll The dog was 50
yards ahead Of the engine, and in
dog fashion he tried TO warn the ped
der Of danger, The peddler, however,
paid no attention, but kept on. Just
Is he got within three feet Of the
track, Fido jumped up and knocked
him back PROSTATE. A moment later
the engine passed, But for the dog
the peddler would have been killed.
When the president Of the road
heard the story he put Fdo on the
payroll. The dog got his wages In an
envelope every month, hike any other
smploye, and the men provided for
him lAVishly besides.
hdo was an Irish setter, apparent
y with some claim to pedigree; but
life about the railroad yards blunted
his finer feelings, and he became q
fighter that no dog could whip Not
man in the neighborhood would have
hesitAtsd TO wager his money at odds
on Edo.
The dog had 4 system Of his own.
His was q running fight When an.
other dog attacked him along the
road, Fdo would manage to get hi,
AAAsilant between himsel, and the
moving locomotive, which he followed
all the time While doing this h.
would watch for q chance, rise 70 his
best and throw his sssailant under
the wheels OF the engine. Then he
would run ahead and Gag crossings
Just as II nothing had happened.
But II was IN one Of these fights
that the railroad dog lost his life.
He disposed OF his aaAilant in IN.
usual manner. but In doing so h, ran
too close 10 the track. and the loco.
motive cylinder struck him and
knocked him under the wheels. The
railroad men shed tears when they
buried lido. and they intend that he
shan have q monument
