ing home ask his local union to write
to the respective congressional repre-
sentatives at Washington, asking
that they use their influence in pass
ing measure in the national legisla-
ture, excluding the Chinese from this

A Car Lost Itself
From CENTER OF TRAPS Rmf

The mysterious disappearance Of
freight car No. 4,S49 from the center of
= moving train between way stations
on the Santa Fe road made a lot of
trouble for two train crews In last
March. and puzzled the ofYicials of the
road not a little. The car was loaded
dropped out of sight midway on the
journey without damage to the rest of
the train and without any one having
seen 1t go. Tracers were sent out, but
the car was not to be found on siding
or In depot yards. The tracers' report
showed that the car had been loaded
with select oranges on a spur leading

lishment in the San Gabriel Valley,

up the gradual slopes. across the con-

and over sage bush plains and sandy
deserts. 1t had toiled through east

New Mexico. 1t had climbed the rug
ged sleeps of the Rockies, plunged into
and through the great tunnel at the
crest of that range and started on its
downward flight to Trinidad. That
was as far as the tracers had been able
to track 1t, for in Baton. a division
station on the Santa Fe, No. 4.S4s had
been noted In the conductors report
when the train was turned over to
new crew; yet when the train reached
Trinidad No. 4.S49 was missing, and
no trace Of it could be found between
Trinidad and Baton. For all that the
tracers knew, No. 4s49 might have
been whisked up into the air by bal
loon and transported to some foreign
land. A lot of discharges had been
made out for the members OF the two
freight crews. and there was trouble
in the air-threats of strikes. and all

o.I.,n of west Point.

No American can justly claim the
merit of originating the idea OF the
West Point Military Academy, because
Institutions similar to that existed
long before ours was thought of. The
establishment of the academy was
recommended by General Washington
In more than one of his messages. but
the first intimation of the necessity OF
such an Institution occurs in the letter
Of q lady. Mrs. John Adams, in 1777,
lamenting the want Of good officers in
the Revolutionary army, used the fol-
lowing language: "It was customary
among the Carthaginians to have a
military school, in which the flower
Of their nobility, and those whose tai
ents and ambition prompted them to
aspire to the first dignities, learned
The art of war. From among these
they selected all their general officers" :"

before the formation of the Institution
