A Historic Hitching Post.

One of the Oldest signs in Washington
is the cast iron figure of a Chinaman.
about 81 feet in height, that stands in
front Of a livery stable on Sixth street
northwest, between Pennsylvania and
Louisiana avenues. 1t has been there
since 1869 and is one of the familiar
landmarks Of the city.
During the Civil war Gems. Grant, Nc
Clellan, Hooker and others, who patron
&ed this stable a great deal, tied their
steeds TO this hitching post. and since
then other distinguished personages have
had occasion to use this post during
every presidential inauguration that has
occurred since Lincoln's second term.
As a matter of fact this much Of
Sixth and Louisiana avenues is a historic
locality III more than one sense. 1t was
on the corner of this street and Louisiana
avenue that Gen. Robert Il. Lee babe

But left them like to summer skies"
Altho' he changed her gown.
| praised her slender as n doe
He gave her malt extract.
And made her bosom ample grow,
Quite matronly. in fact.
Her golden" hair he dyed to 'black -
Thank heaven. it was not red,-
l had it hanging down her back,
He put it up instead.
She left me pale" he made her blush
With ample cause, I'm sure.
The liberties he took would flush
A mummy's cheek demure.
l sent her forth on dainty feet
But she came back ON small;
The wonder is, so young and sweet,
She kept her feet at all.
Now, all of this l might have stood
Without q word of blame,

AS just to change my name.

RUNNING FAST TRAINS.
Engineer Who Runs a Flyer Gives II
Version of How it Feels.

Engineer Who Runs a Flyer Gives His
Version of How it Feels.
Mr.. Nagle, an engineer on one Of the
big roads, was asked if there was any
certain trick in the running of fast trains,
and replied:
There is no difference in the running
of the fast train and the slow one.
There is one thing that a man should
remember, though, and that is not to get
nervous. no matter what turns up before
him. The engineers who run the flyers
must also be men of quick decision, be-
cause a little wavering on their part
might cause bad wreck. If it is the
engineers opinion that the train should
be stopped he should do so at once, but
if he thinks he can get through. then
all rlght-throW her open and 90 through
but don't hesitate. The success in run
ming fast trains lies in the one fact of
keeping your mind on what you are do
ing and not getting excited when some
thing turns up unexpectedly before You.
An engineer must always be on his guard,
for going over the ground at 60 or 10
miles an hour he must act quickly when
the time comes, as there is no chance to
consider what is best to do.
The engine | run makes from ten to
twelve miles faster time than is ordinarily
run. To be able to do this | have got to
know every foot of the road For in
knowing the track | can tell just where
the long level stretches of road are before
| get 10 them, and in this way | can cal
culate just where | can make up any
little time that | might have lost in the
beginning of the "trip. in some places
in making a run | will go away ahead of
my schedule, but what | have gained here
| will lose on some other part of the road
that is not so good.
I'm making fast runs it is in the stops
and slowdowns where an engine loses
time. You take. for instance, train
that has to be brought to a dead stand
still; it will require as high as ten minutes
before it can he gotten well under way
again, and when you are going at sixty
miles an hour ten minutes counts n
great deal.
1T seems singular. but TO person
who is associated with engines ali the
time they almost seem alive. This is on
account of the sensitive machinery about
them You can't any more say what
kind of time an engine is going 10 mako
when you start out with it than Won can
tell how race horse is going to run.
Some days when you take the machine
out it will worry along. and you can't get
1t to running right during the whole frin
and then at other times it will start off
perfectly smooth and you will have no
trouble whatever; The weather has
much to do with the way an engine
works. When the atmosphere Is damn
and cold and the oil is thick the ma
chinery works harder than in dry. warm
weather when the oil remains thin. Then
there is the difference in coal; some en-
gines will burn one kind better than an
other. And the way the wind blows
also has much TO do with the speed that

A BIG shoe FACTORY.
From Small Beginning in 1850 it Grows
to Immense Proportions.
THE F. MAYER BOOT & SHOE CO. of
Milwaukee, Wis, now occupies ga
Acres of Floor Space, and has ca
pacity for making 6ooo pairs
of Shoes per Day.

Just % years ago Mr.. +. Mayer estab-
lshed a shoe factory in Milwaukee, and
began the manufacture OF shoes in a
modest way. The working force at that
time was small and the facilities made
ouate, yet it was the foundation of what
was destined to be one of the largest shoe
factories in this country. The underly-
ing business principle was then, as now,
to produce the best shoes possible at the
lowest prices, That this policy was sue
eessful has been demonstrated by the fact
that shoes bearing the Mayer trade
mark are now sold in every state and ter
ritory west OF the Ohio river. Over 600
people are kept busy as bees supplying
q demand that has steadily increased as
q result of the universal satisfaction
given by Mayors shoes.
Milwaukee being the home OF the big
gest leather tanneries in the world, and
also the market for the very best shoe
leather known, gives the Milwaukee man
facturer advantages in cost as well as
the choice of leather, that outside manu-
facturers cannot obtain, thus enabling
the Mayer shoe factory 10 turn out better
shoes at less cost than outside competi-
tors.
Something like 40 travelling statesmen
are required to visit merchants in thou
sands of towns ard villages in twenty diff
ferent states. The magnitude of this
business can best be appreciated when
Won take into consideration that, with
the present capacity, 6000 complete pairs
Of shoes can be turned out every working
day.
The business is now conducted under
the name Of the +. Mayer Boot & Shoe
Co.. by the three sons Of Mr.. +. Mayer.
who succeeded him in the business. As
Mayors shoes are being literally adver-
tised the further growth of the company
is sure to be rapid.

SagacitY of Hawks.

A strange instance of sagacity in two
peregrines has just been told. They
had often been seen following trains in
Croatia without any explanation sug-
costing itself, until one afternoon the
train Suddenly put up cOvey of young
patridges. Down swooped the hawk at
the cOvey and carried off one of them,
and this gave the answer to the riddle.
The cunning bird must have noticed,
while soaring for his pleasure, that the
noise of the train often put up game,
and this gave him the idea of making
use of the train as a beater for his own
benefit

Nearly the whole fur trade of the world
concentrates itself in the two cities OF
London and Leipsic; but as about two
thirds of the London furs, which are sold
at auction, go TO Leipsic, the result is

the greater of the two. The Leipsc
