PLAY CHECKERS BY WIRE.
Telegraph Operators In Canada
While Away Their Spare Time
Mt the Game.

When the American management as
sumed control of the Grand Trunk rail-
way in Canada it set about the aboli-
tion of many easy-going habits the en-
ployes had drifted into. One unbusi-
nesslike practice to which the tele-
graph operators of the road were ad-
dicted was playing checkers over the
wires. Each operator kept numbered
checker board and after arranging the
checkers on the squares when the wires
were not busy they indicated the
moves to be made by telegraphing the
numbers of the squares checker was
to be moved from and to. The objec-
ton the management had against
checker playing was that the pastime
sometimes occupied the keys against
the transmission of important dis
patches.
One winters evening shortly after
the new management took over the
Canadian 4ailrpad two operators sta
toned along the main line east were
willing away the time playing check
ers when key was opened at the
Montreal Office. The head office of the
Grand Trunk is at Montreal, and the
superintendent ''call' requires imme-
diate attention and clear wire. The
checker-playing operator nearer Mont
real heard the magic signal and
promptly opened his key. His friend
further west, being without suspicion
and unable to account for the Interrupt
tion in the game, ticked out the in
quiry: "Whose next move?" and on re-
ceiving no answer repeated it, giving
, his station call.
Then the Montreal key, operated by
touch that was strange, says the New
York Times, wired the terse reply: IT
guess it will be your pext move. am
the new w.superintendent.'

Rats That Climb Tree.,

The people of Jamaica have been

and it was thought that the move
ment had been entirely successful,
but it is now found that the rats
have not, as was supposed, been ex-
terminated but have outwitted their
prosecutors by a complete and inter
esting change in their manner OF
life. They have taken, in fact; to
tree-climbing, passing the day in
treetops, chiefly among the wild

PERIsHABLE cURIosITIEs.
71aeular Designation Of . Carload OF
#..s Tramps shipped Out OF
" - Mexican Town,

$ In Mexico the billing of railroad
freight requires a knowledge and pre-
cision which can only be attained by
years Of practice. This is due5to the
peculiar classification of various ar
ticles and the different rates of Gus
toms duties. A case recently occurred
which severely taxed the ingenuity of
the station agent, although he finally
succeeded in meeting all requirements.
states Youth's Companion.
The town was overrun with tramps.
and the council determined that steps
must be taken to rid the city of them.
It was finally decided to round them up
and ship them out of the country. It
would be too expensive to purchase
tickets, so they concluded to hire
stock cars and ship their tramps as
freight.
The cars were procured and by the
aid of the police the tramps were gath
cred; but then the question arose as
to how the shipment should be desig-
mated on the bill of lading.
The term persons" could not be
used, as it would conflict with the state
law relative to proper accommodations
for the travelling public, and it would
also be in violation of, the company's
rules governing the rates of passenger
traffic. Marketable commodities
would not do, as that would subject
the carload to a heavy duty upon cross
ing the tariff zone. Again, they would
have to be classified as 'perishable," :"
or the dispatcher might order the
cars sidetracked along the line.
But fortunately there is customs
law which exempts certain kinds of
curiosities from duty, and so, after
much consideration, the tramps were
billed and forwarded as SO many hun
dredweight of "perishable curiosities
unfit to eat"
