viii Use improved Coal Chute.

Arrangements are being made by
the Union Pacific to spend hundreds
of thousands OF dollars in improve
ments in coaling stations all over its
system, and the adoption OF a new
coal chute whereby one man can do
the work that formerly needed the
services of a dozen. A trial OF the
new chute has been made In Lexing-
ton. Nebraska, and has proved its
worth. w. E. wilmer of the coal de-
partment. has just returned from a
tour of inspection In Nebraska and
southern Colorado. and reports favor
ably on the working Of the new chutes.
1t Is understood that in all thirty coal
ing stations In the Union Pacific sys-
tenn will be equipped with the, new
chute within year, and that 1000
new coal dump cars of seventy-five-
ton capacity will be ordered built. The
first one installed in Colorado will be
built at Julesburg.

boys who had been arrested for some

THE GLARE OF THE FOOTLIGHTS

For the world is bright and gay:
And life is too brief
To entertain grief:

And with knowing wink. sug-
gestive smirk and a wicked twirl of
that nimble toe the singer swung him
self into the wings amid hurricane
Of applause. There was no song and
dance man on the vaudeville stage
who set the people SO wild as Billy
Pepsin and many times did he have
to come back and repeat the refrain Of
his latest song before the audience
would permit the next act to be put
on. The song seemed particularly to
fit the singer. OF all the light hearted
apostles of careless gaiety. Billy Pep
sin was easily the most single hearted
and the great audience which sought
the theaters where he performed fair
ly reveled in his reckless meTTiment
and thorough abandon.
And on this night even more than
usual he threw himself into the very
spirit of his part and with the new
song which was as foolish as it was
adaptable to Billy's peculiar atmos-
phere, he, sent the audience fairly in
to Mysteries. They applauded until
they were tired from the very physical
exercise and agreed to a man that
there never had been anything SO
funny since the dawn of time and
that such stunt could come only
from a man who knew no care and
never had no more serious response.

ture. Giacomo Qast name forever
lost to history, was a smart little
Italian possessed of indefatigable per.
sistence and wife who could cook
with that divine touch which is given
only now and then to the daughters of
Eve. 1t was shabby little place off
an alley, never too clean and almost
impossible in wet weather. Almost, I
say advisedly, because it never was
impossible to the stage people of the
middle type who formed the principal
support of Giacomo. This partly be-
cause the cooking az the wines were
SO good-and cheap, for your actor of
any class knows what is good and
wants it, and perforce his purse
strings forbid Sherry's or Rector's as
a steady diet. And then the place
was always open-at least until the
last straggler was ready to retire The
lights never went out before dawn
and many a morn did Giacomo doze
behind the little bar and his fat wife
in chair in the cramped kitchen un.
