of this island go to the polls and vote

ONE FORGOTTEN HUMoRIsT.
George II. Derbyss Jokes Still Arc
Told at West Point.
(New York Tribune.)

(New York Tribune)
Thirty-fYe years ago, when all the ris-
ing generation of America We're shouting
with laughter over Artemus Wards droll
experiences, the worn copy of :Phenix-
iana," from which the following extracts
were taken. was given to the writer OF
this article, says the United States Ser
vice Magazine.
John Phenix." alias "Squibob," in pri-
vatc life Lieutenant George II. Derby, OF
the United States Typographical Engin-
neers was graduated at West Point in
TAG having entered as a cadet in 1872. His
passion for illustrating his textbooks gave
rise to regulation obliging the cadets to
hand their textbooks to the professors for
inspection on the first OF every month.
This regulation once afforded Derby an
opportunity for a very clever practical
joke-a joke which was SO innocent as
we'll as witty that it was freely pardoned
by the professor at whose expense it was
committed. It occurred in this wise: The
class was assembled in Professor dos
room, and the lesson had already begun
when Professor. d O., interruptinS himself.
said suddenly:
"Ah. it is the first Of the month. see.
Gentlemen, hand me your textbooks
There was general move to obey the
order on the part of all except Derby.

hastily Selling his textbook, to thrust it
into his desk. This. of course. did not

sir?" faltered Derby. 4
"Certainly not, SIR returned Professor

that you are the principal cause of the
regulation? It is your textbook I parti-
cularly want to see, Mr.. Derby. Bring it
to me at once SIR
But had rather not, sir hesitated
Derby.
Perhaps so, sir replied Professor d o.

we nave said. the joke was forgiven.
Early in the. year 1850 Derby was a pas
senger in ship bound from New York
to San francisco. The voyage was to be
round the Horn, as Californians phrase
it, and. therefore, necessarily an affair of
months. The ship was crowded with pas
sengers of both sexes, and of all ages and
conditions: and the dismay of the captain
and surgeon may be. imagined when a
case Of cholera broke out N the Storage.
1t was genuine Asiatic cholera over In

The Northern Pacific has received the

the biggest engines in America. The last
enc OF the series arrived q, few days ago
and Tacoma, the terminus, has the dis
tinction CT being also the greatest rail-
road centre in the world in this respect
There are as big engines elsewhere in
twos and threes. but on no line and at no
point are there a score of engines like
the 100 class just received in Tacoma
Any ten OF those engines could have done
all the railroad business there was to be
done mere ten years ago, when the Sag
hens used to crawl up to Weston with
eight an ten small cars that could be
loaded into five modern cars, wheels and
all. T:le public sees little of these engines
since they are confined to freighting on
the mountain division. lAny one Of then

cars that can be hung behind them. The
only limit is the number of cars that can
be handled by single crew. In the gra-
phc language Of Master Mechanic Bruce,
You can string all the cars you can get
behind one Of these engines, chop the
train off at a mile or so, and swing EN-
into Portland easy"
Technical language will not convey to
the average reader the immensely of these
wonders OF locomotive building. The name
given them by common consent all over

Where did yesterdays sunset go.
When it faded down the hills SO slow,
And the gold grew dim, and the purple
light
Like and army with banners, passed from
sight?
Will its flush go into the goldenrod.
Its thrill to the purple aster's nod,
It's crimson fecl1 the maple bough,
And the autumn glory begin from now?
Deeper. than flower fields sank the glow
OF the silent pageant passing slow.

It thrilled in the folding hush of prayer.
1t glided into a poets song.
It is setting still in picture rare

And in resurrections of faith and hope
The glory died on the shining slope.
For it left it's light on the hills and seas
