hot box on one Of the tanks wheels.
Suddenly and without warning the
train began to move and the two men
thought it was starting out Of town.
The train was short and the engine
powerful one, and in a half-coach
length would be moving at a ten-mile
rate. To get on board they must eth

that surrounded the observation plat

Free On the Central Pa.
siAs Road.

The biggest free pass ever issued
was the one which the builders of the
Central Pacific gave to johnson Sides,
chief OF the Piute Indians of Nevada,
for himself and people for life, to ride
back and forth on all except passen-
ger cars as much as they pleased. 1t
has been source Of delight to the
Indians to think that in one case, at
least, their palefacc friends showed
the gratitude which is so seldom ex-
pressed, says the San Francisco Call.
Those were polite us we'll as wise
men who daringly started that early
road. even before New York and Chi
cago were connected by rail. They
knew that without the friendship of
the Indians the task would be almost
impossible. and they began by treat
ing the Indians well and keeping their
word with them-the only Indian pol.
icy" necessary and the only one which
has ever succeeded.
II you have ever happened to ride
through Nevada on the railroad YOU
must have been impressed by the fact
that the Indians make themselves
very much at home on the trains.
They swarm over the platforms of
blind baggage cars and on top of box
cars and empty fiat cars. Sometimes
freight train pulls into Reno with
more tons Of Indians and their bag

is not a cent for any Of them to pay.

NAME OF CAPE NOME.
VroSSsSSS DaviAson's S>arsh Nj.
sSosss the Date Of Its
Origin,

Prof. Davidson, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine, says that during
NE last four years he has made nu-
merous inquiries concerning the ori-
gin OF the name Of Cape Nome. He
searcbed every available chart and
narrative Of the region until the ad-
mirslty chart Of 1883 was found, which
proved to contain the earliest use OF
the name.
The discovery convinced the profess
sor that the name must have been
given during the voyage Of the Sir
John Franklin ships Herald and Plover.
SO he wrote to the chief Of the ad-
miralty asking If any officer on these
ships was named Nome. The follow
ing il the reply: 'When the N. S.
chart Of region was being constructed
on board H. n. S. Herald attention
was drawn to the fact that this point
had no name, and a mark (?Name)
was placed against it.
In the hurry of dispatching this
chart from the ship this (?) appears
to have been linked in by rough
draughtsman and appeared as Cape
Name. but the stroke Of the "a" be-
ing very indistinct it was interpreted
~ c. Nome. and has appeared with
this name ever since.
This information is from an off,
Ger who was on board the Herald when
the chart was made"

One Of the latest wrinkles of the
poaeher who goes after quail before
the season opens consists in taking the
forearm on his gun and leaving it at

come free from the stock whenever the
gun is "broken down." The poacher
hides the two pieces under his coat un-
til he is out of sight of spectators, says
a London paper. Then he puts the two
pieces together again, which is the
work Of only second or two, and is
ready for shooting. If q game warden
or other suspicious person heaves in

hut give splendid augury for the com
ing new year.
A spectacle Of such profound interest
has, in all probability, never before been
presented to the consideration of man
kind as is presented TO the world ny the
American people ut this time. In
period Of unexampled prosperity they
appear to be sweeping forward with ir
rcsistible force to the primacy Of the
world. In all the qualities OF national
and governmental power they are now
admittedly the greatest of all peoples.
In science, and art and literature they
are going forward Mt a rate that will
soon bring them TO the fore. In solving
the great questions Of fraternity-of
brotherhood among the people-no other
nation approaches them. On the qneS-
tion of labor and capital Europe as
signs the solution to America. and Amer
lea has accepted the duty in the forming
Of the National Civic Federation for the
healing of labor disputes. As the pro-
motor of freedom among the nations,
America redeemS Cuba. and stretches
its benign power to the Orient over the
islands of the sea. As the promoter Of
commerce America undertakes 10 connect
the great oceans and make short route
to the Fast by way of the West. What

Imagine the amazement of our grand
parents mt the possibility of being able
to stock the wardrobe or furnish a
house all in one store, not to speak Of

This same alert thought and potential
effort was evident in the holiday prep
arations of the lesser as well as the
greater shops, of those that specialize
and those that sell everything. The pro-
gressive and successful merchant,
whether he deals in diamonds, pianos or
groceries, realizes the value OF the old
proverb that whatever is worth doing Is
worth doing well.
Wont you write word of thanks
for the salesgrls?' said a well-known
woman to the writer yesterday.
Now and then we come across dis
agreeable shopgirl but perhaps even she
has her mission, for she teaches us to
remember what we sometimes forget
that the shopgirl is human, not ma
chine |, for one, cannot remepber a

diSagreeable sales-woman during this
entire shopping season. Every girl be-
hind every counter seemed to be work
