fore Was Entitled to Free
Admission.

The requests for theater favors in the
small towns are very troublesome. Every
person Of local standing feels that he has
right to admission at least, while the trus-
tees and the constable feel that they are
entitled to private boxes. Some of the
requests are decidedly unique, says the
Chicago lnter-Ocean.
Recently company played small

the tickets at the door of the theater, and
the natives were struggling to get in; "Sud-

SAID, it would disturb the performance,
and SO the poor people do not know what

Wouldn't vouch for Him.

Some of the lads who get into u
business life early can be relied upon
for good common sense. The head Of
a big grocery store in Chicago has
been. greatly pleased with this. COM
mon sense attribute in one Of the
boys he employs. He is bright,
honest lad, quick and reliable, and
when a second boy was needed they
sent for "Sam." Couldn't he get them
a boy? They wanted boy as good
as he was, and he must know of one.
After some thought he finally agreed
to send them one, and the next day
the boy arrived and Sam was called
to identify him. ''Do you know this
boy, Sam?" asked the employer.
"Yes," answered Sam; 81 know him.
.'.And do you know him to be good,
honest boy?" II have played with
him all my life, and I have always
thought he was.'' "But will you
vouch for him?" persisted the en-
ployey. "No," answered Sam indig-
nantly; 81 won't vouch for anyone. I
wouldn't vouch for my own brother.

ANOTHER HERO.

Let me tell you Of q hero who has never
marched away.
With gay flags above him flying. to be
fearless In the fray:
He has never heard the rattle Of the
rifles or the roar
OF the havoc-dealing cannon rs tho shells
go screaming Ger
He is not a gallant soldier. and the world
knows not his name,
But, unlaureled, unapplauded, he's a
hero, just the same.
All, the turkey was delicious that they
piled upon his plate.
And his sisters and his brothers chat
tered gayly as they ate.
With thoughtful face he gently pushed
his white meat all aside
And he nibbled at the gizzard and q
wing, unsatisfled:
Then he slipped his bunch of raisins in
his pocket on the ely
And was sorry that he couldn't hide
away his piece of pie.
At the corner by the alley, where the
wind howled all the day,
Sat pale boy at q window while his
mother sewed away,
And he held bunch Of raisins and a
wishbone that was bare.
Tasting still the tender white meat that
had chung SO lately there.
have told you of my hero; men may
never give him fame,
But think he has q tablet up in heaven,
just the same.

Not all visitors to the country are

pose. Browning's Magazine gives this
instance:
''Wal," said Farmer wilkins to his
city boarder, who was up early and
looking around, "ben out to hear tho
haycock crow, I s'pose?" and he
winked at his hired man.
"No," replied the city boarder, "I've

Farmer Wilkins scowled at the
hired man, and wanted to know why
he was not getting to work at milk.

An important Discovery.


Granton, Okla, Feb. 9th.--After ten year,
a cure for kidney Trouble. Mr.. Gosney
suffered very severely with Kidney Com
plant and some ten years ago made up his
mind to find cure If one was to be had.
He has tried and tried and experimental
with every kidney medicine he could hear
Of. Although. he was always disappointed
he kept on trying till at last hisperseverence
was rewarded and he found complete
cure.
He is well man to-day and explains it
as follows:
Everything failed to cure me and was
growing worse and worse till tried new
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and ]
had not taken many of them before
knew that had at last found the right
thing. I am entirely cured and cannot
say too much for Dodd's Kidney Pills"

HIS NATIVE LAND BEST.
when 1t Came to scenery He Thought
They Couldnt Beat the
Palisades.

The Empire State express was whiz-
zing up the Hudson few days ago,
with the eyes Of all the passengers on
the left side Of the train drinking on
the beauties of the river and the Pai-
sades on the other shore. One of the
passengers, foreigner, was particu-
larly expressive of his admiration,
says the New York Tribune.
You never saw anything in your
foreign countries to beat that, I'll bet"
said an upstate farmer, who was going
home by express from visit with rel
atives in the city. Its just grand
scenery, that is"
''You are right, it is grand" ex-
claimed the foreigner, in perfectly cor
rect, though measured, English. 81
only remember one scene more beauti-
full"
The loyal up-stater demanded the
name of the scene that chad the Pail
sades beat out"
"a few months ago had the pleas
ure of going down the River Danube"
he answered. ut is a trip little taken
since express trains began running be.
tween Paris and Vienna, but it is well
worth while. There is onep place in par
ticular that reminds me of the Pail.
sades, and which honestly believe
was more grand.
"a few miles below Belgrade the Car
pathian mountains cut across the
great plain of central Hungary, and
the Danube centuries ago cut pass
age through them. First, the river
rushes through a narrow passage,
then broadens out to the width of a
lake. Around bend goes the steamer
and the mountains come together. The
result is two rows of palisades higher
than those across this mighty stream,
and with tops majestically peaked. It
is called the Kezan Pass, but is more
popuarly known as 'the Iron Gate.'"
"It may be all as you say" declared
the farmer, "but you know what
hink-you're just prejudiced. There
can't be anything finer than the Pali-
sades.''

MODERN RAnRoADlnG.
Able Men Are Absolutely Necessary
In All Branches t. Make
It Pay.

A railroad is q machine for making
money, and the machine must be kept
in good order. To this end sound con-
structive material is wanted and in
sisted upon, says Golfers Weekly.
Twentieth century railway managers
have q weakness for men who do their
work well. They have an idea that by
lifting the efficient ones to higher
seats the road is benefited in dollars.
This idea governs employment.
Suppose the applicant for position il
20 years of age and wishes to become
an engineer. He is assigned to a loco
motive, in charge of fireman, but un-
der the general instructions of the en-.
gineer. During period Of from two
weeks to a month he works without
pay, because it is only tentative serv-
ice meant to put him to the final test
of his potential fitness for the work.
II he comes out all right, the engineer
gives him certificate to the effect
that he is believed to possess the make
up needful to locomotive engineer.
Once in possession of this certificate
of potential fitness, the young man is
soon found on a freight engine as fire.
man drawing full pay. In this capacity
he serves not less than three years.
Then he is competent generally to take
charge of a freight engine. This point
attained, he is practically assured that
he will in time be appointed to posi-
ton of the first class-that of engi-
neer of passenger train,
The operating department is one
that attracts many young men not of
a mechanical turn of mind. They begin
variously as students" in telegraph Of
fees, ticket offices, signal towers, etc.
It takes them six months or year to
gain practical knowledge Of the rou-
tine duties of the men in the lower
grades Of operating workmen over
whom it is their aim as rule to exer-
else supervision. During the period Of
studenthood they receive from SIS to
$50 month. Having served the time
needful to fit him for the responsible
ity, the new railroader is appointed
agent at minor station-a telegraph
operator, towerman or switchman.
The pay of the station agents or oper-
ators ranges from $40 to $50 month,
and switchmen get from $50 to $40 a
month.
The term of apprenticeship for
trainman is the shortest of all, and
on account of the quickly acquired
earning capacity the larger number
are attracted to this branch of rail-
roadinu Within month tho na1.,rnors
may become brakeman on a freight
train at $50 to SIS month. In two
years he may become a freight conduc-
tor, at 500 to 500 month. In six
years, according to conditions, the post
of passenger conductor may be his, at
a salary ranging from $50 to $3.50 a
month. In the train service the matter
of precedence depends almost wholly
on individual merit and seniority.
