General Passenger Agent of Rock

HONOR TO FORMER DAvENRORTBR
One Of the Youngest Railroad Men
in Place nf Great IsespOn-
sibiliiy.

It is announced from the Rock Island
headquarters that the jurisdiction of
General Passenger Agent L. NJ. Allen
has been extended to include all the
lines of the system west of the Mis-
souri, river. This gives the general
passenger agent jurisdiction over the
whole of the system. as his first APP
pOintment Il few months ago covered
the lines east of the river.
The additional jurisdiction gives a
control OF the passenger business Of
one Of the largest railroad systems in
me country to one of the youngest
men to hold a position as general pas
senger agent.
Began as Car Accountant.
Mr.. Allen will be 40 years old July
1. He has been in the service of the
road since 1851 He is a native of
Davenport, ut which place he saw his
first service as car accountants
clerk. When Passenger Traffic Mana
ger John Sebastian was promoted to
that position from general passenger
agent, Mr.. Allen, who was principal
assistant in his Office, was moved up
to the place of general passenger
agent of the eastern lines.
No appointment Of an official to
hold a similar position i'm relation to
the lines west of the river was made
and instead of doing this and divid-
ing the system it was finally decided
to take another step in the direction
of qualification by giving him juris-
diction over all lines.

Last year the Denver fans tried to

a Chicago Man Learns How Tough a
Wild Turkey Gobbler May Be.

Ernest McGaffey of Chicago, poet,
politician and sportsman, had recently a
chance to find out how tough and full OF
life a wild gobbler is With a party from
Cairo H., he was hunting in the Ar
kansas bottoms.
He ard his guide were after turkeys.
As four woodcock had been jumped the
day before, AcGaffey had taken along
he had one of these small shot shells in
the right barrel of his gun
The guide heard turkeys calling and
the two went in the direction whence
the sound came. They struck wide
open place in the sepai-swamp, space
covered with green briars which grew
in a mat two feet from the ground.
They had made their way in for a
short distance as quietly as possible
when a big gobbler jumped, not more
than Is yeards distant These birds have
to take a running start before they can
lift their weight from the ground and
McGaffey saw it before 1t sprang- He
was. consequently, ready for It and had
the barrels of his gun on it by the time
it was ten feet from the ground and still
going up and away.
It was short shooting and. fearing to
tear the great bird, he waited until it
was a good 25 yards distant. Then he
gave it the right barrel full and fair.
The gobbler sailed on as if it had not
heard the gun. No feathers fell and it
quickened its pace a little. Then Nc
Gaffey called on the left barrel which
was loaded with a shell that had three
and a half dram Of smokeless powder
behind an ounce of 600 shot At the
crack of this shell the gobbler crum-
pied and came down. dead before it
touched the ground.
Curious to learn how he could have
missed the first shot which was so easy
McGaffey examined the turkey in camp
when it had been picked and cleaned.
The white skin with the underlying
mass of yellow fat showed all shot
marks plainly and he counted IS little
holes made by the No. shot
The target had, in fact. been centered
by the charge. but that did not bother
the turkey any. But for the load of
COOS it would have flown a half mile.
then settled and gone about its business
little the worse.
A No shot will knock down a tur-
key if it be hit in the head. or a pellet
of that size viii sometimes shatter a
wing bone but the head is a small mark
and in the present instance, since the
gobbler was sailing away, an impossible
one This gobbler weighed II pounds

What Young Man May Acquire il
College for Newspaper Career.

The elemental qualifica lions necessary
to success in any of the socalled liberal
professions are likely to bring advance

IN the first place, a sound understand
Ing, coupled with habits of industry and
self denial.
For the student, therefore. who pro-
poses to go into newspaper work there
are few other directions to be given
than that he should follow those studies
which enlarge his mind and strengthen
and balance its powers of judgment
A course of reading which will give
him a view of history, which will re-
veal to him the motives of human ac-
tons which have scarcely changed
since history has been written, is nee
essary to his success. A KNOWLEDGE of
human nature, its tendencies and intui-
tons, its passions and its Weaknesses
and its ceaseless striving toward ideals.
which are constantly changing for the
better century after century, is what a
newspaper man should have as the
basis of his equipment
This is very general advice. it is true,
but it is about as particular as any that
can be given. Nowhere is that course
of reading whose results are summed
up in the one word culture more -es-
sential than in an editorial chair TIL ere

Gerrt Smith inherited enormous wealth
and expended great sums in charity and
the public service giving away 1000 to &C.
600 pounds every year besides distributing
gratis to some 1900 working people tracts
of his land for FARMS Among the points
upon which he held very strong opinions
was this one of the dress of women. He
wrote:
II believe that poverty is the great curse
of woman; she must work 10 get rid of her
poverty, but that she can not do in the
present disabling dress. Were she to adopt
a rational dress that would not hinder
her in any work. how quickly she would
rise from her present degrading depend
ence upon man. His daughter, with the
consent of her husband Colonel Miller,
was therefore, the first to wear the reform
dress.
Mrs. Amelia Bloomer advocated the new
dress in her paper. and thence the press
generally took up the question. the name
of Mrs Bloomer. which was qIoted in con-
fancy as having something Of the quaint
and ridiculous about it. hence the dress
came to be generally referred to as the
BlOoner costume. 1t consisted of trousers
full to the ankles and there gathered IN,

came a tunic with a skirt reaching to a lit
