Pullman
Ordinary SlAeperS

The tourist travel between the East
and the Pacific Coast has reached enor-
nous proportions in the last few years,
and calls for special class OF equipment.
To meet this demand the Pullman Com
pany has issued from its shops what it
technically calls the pullman Ordinary
Sleeper" These cars appear similar to
the regular slecpers, being built on the
same plan, but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows,
pillow cases, towels, combs, brushes, ETC.,
requiring nothing Of the kind to be fur
nished by the passenger. Each car has
a stove for making tea and coffee and
doing eight housekeeping" and each
section can be fitted with an adjustable
table. A uniformed porter accompanies
each car, his business being to make up
berths, keep the car clean, and look after
the wants and comforts Of the passen :
gers. In each of the trains which are
dispatched daily from Portland by the o.
r. 4 N. Co. il to be found one of these
"Pullman Ordinary sleepers." The car
attached to the "Chicago-Po Portland
Special" goes through to Chicago with
out change, and the one in the atlantic
Express" runs to Kansas City without
change. Passengers in this car for Chi
cago change to similar car at Granger.
Much Of the first class travel is reing
carried in these cars, the rates being
lower, and the service nearly equal to
that in the palace sleepers.
For rates and full information, includ.
ing folders, write to A. l.. CRAIG, Cen
eral Passenger Agent o. X. & II. Co.

Two Circus tents.

"a great deal of unnecessary SYM
pathy is wasted upon the circus man
who stands up proudly in spangled
tights and lets another circus man
bring down sledge hammer upon u
rock placed upon his head with force
enough to break It," says an old circus
man. "This is spectacular, but is en-
tirely painless and calls for no gerat
strength or endurance. Upon the era
mum Of the strong man is put an iron
contrivance weighing about $50 pounds
and provided with cushions both above
and where 1t rests upon the head. a
pretty good sized rock is used, and the
hammer is heavy one, so you can see
that the blow that cracks the rock Is
really serious one. But most of the
force Is taken up by the rock and the
rest by the iron and cushions, while
the only sensation felt by the subject
is q gentle tap.
mo more difficult than this is the
act whereby the hero of the canvas
tent permits n rock to be broken upon
his chest with blow from n sledge
hammer. Sc long as the subjects back
Is free and does not rest against any
solid object the trick is perfectly SIM
pie. A little illustration: Take Il board
up and let it lie freely in your hand
and hit it smartly with hammer. 1t
is difficult to hurt your hand, and the
thicker the board the less the sensa-
ton. But now put your hand on the
table and hit the board. Hurts, doesn't
It? Well, it's the same with the rock
on the chest"

TIC Life Of /. Con, Miner.

First, the boy Of eight or ten is sent
to the breaker to pick the slate and 9TH
er impurities from the coal which has
been brought up from the mine. From
there he is promoted and becomes a
door boy, working in the mine. AS he
grows older and stronger he is adj
vanced to the position and given the
pay of a laborer. There he gains the
experience which secures him a place
as miners helper, and as he acquires
skin and strength he becomes, when in
the height of his manhood and vigor, a
full fledged MINER
If he is fortunate enough to escape
tile falls of rock and coal, he may re-
tain this position as miner for mum.
Der of years. But as age creeps on and
he is attacked by some of the many
diseases incident to work in the mines
he makes way for those younger and
more vigorous following him up the
ladder whose summit he has reached.
He then starts ON the descent, going
back to become miners helper, then
n mine laborer. now a door boy. and
when old and decrepit he finally re-
turns to the breaker where he started
as child. earning the same wages as
are received by the little urchins who
work at his side. There is no incen-
tive for ambition in the average min
er's life. He cannot rise to places of
eminence and wealth. Only l in 500
can even be given place as a foreman
or superintendent. and these are posi-
lions which few miners care to hold

How Our Ancestor. auarreled.

A study Of medieval rural life Is apt
to give the impression that the princi-
pal part of the life of the people was
spent in quarreling or In the commits
sion or prosecution of offenses. Our
ancestors certainly We're very liti-
gious and very disorderly people.
The records teen with instances of men
and women drawing knives against one
another. Of breaking into houses, Of
prosecuting one another for SANDER.
Then we have such entries as these:
''1t is ordained by common consent
that all the women of the village must

Italian. Love Tomatoes,

Italians more than any other people
value tomatoes, and each one that
comes to perfection is as carefully tend
cd as though it were an apple Of gold.
Not only do the housewives delight in
the fresh vegetables themselves, but.
generally speaking. those home tended
are better than any purchased at the
market, and so each one is jealousy
saved to make tomatoe sauce for the
spaghetti, without which no Italian
Sunday would be Sunday. One soapbox
gardener one season sold enough tomn-
toes to give her quite little pin money
No one who knows the Italian well will
be surprised to learn that many of the
boxes are devoted TO peppers. for they
in truth furnish much of their spice OF
life. and even the little Italian girls
know how to stuff and cook them in Il
dozen different ways that tempt the
palate.-Boston Transcript.

For His Reputation, $500.


The proprietor of large dry goods
store had decided to tear down the old
building and erect n new one in its
stead. In furtherance of this plan lie
was removing his goods to temporar.
quarters in another building.
The goods were nearly all out OF the
old structure when from some un
known cause it caught fire. The de.
partment was promptly on hand and
soon had Il stream playing on the
flames, but the merchant was wild
with excitement. Running UP to the
chief, he urged him to greater haste.
'Never mind the goods" he shouted
"Save the building! I'll give the boys
check for $500 for their pension fund
if they don't let the fire spread beyond
that floor!'
'Why, you're going to tear the old
building down anyway. aren't you?
asked the chief.
"Yes," he said. "but do you suppose

Many plant growers become annoyed
because the older leaves at the base of
their rubber plants turn yellow and
fall off. This is natural process. 1t
does not indicate any defect in the
plant. 1t is simply the ripening of the
old foliage, which cannot be retained
indefinitely. Sometimes. however. the
loss of foliage results from the want Of
root room. but in such cases the plants
refuse to grow.

For Homeseekers and Land
Investors,

The passenger department of the ILL.,
nois Central railroad has just received
from the hands of the printer, a new
folder in the interests of Homeseekera
and Land Investors. Many are look
ing for new homes and for land invest
ments. This folder furnishes brief but
reliable information as to the resources
and possibilities of the states of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. The opportunities for In
vestments in the above mentioned
states are unsurpassed in any part of
this great country. Homeseekers' ex-
cursions to points within these st ties
are run by the Illinois Central the first
and third Tuesdays of every month, at
a rate of one fare plus $500 and these
excursions should be taken advantage
of by everyone in search of home or
investments in timber or farm lands.

AT the battle of Omdurman a soldier
belonging TO Il Scotch regiment was
nearly killed by bullet which struck
the ground just in front of him while
he was firing in reclining position.
On rising TO move few feet forward,
something came down his sleeve. 1t
was the bullet. How 1t got up his
sleeve without intlicting damage can
only be accounted for by the fact that
1t must have been spent by the time it
struck the ground in front of him and
the course of its flight up his sleeve
was its last billet.
