 Kenner stared and then spat against the wall behind the stove.

They would work for nothing to get
a start. Our chief engineer hit upon
a plan to care for the worthy ones.
He employed those who were not
afraid to work to do section jobs.
They were sent out along the line
and worked with the lsborers of that
class for $3.50 per day. They laid
rails and shoveled track bed The
result was that the section superin-
tendents all along the line began to
demand these fellows and many got
a start this way. A number have adj

who were not desirable demonstrated
it by giving up their jobs because it

great thing, but something more is
necessary for real success in these
times. Men work for what they get.
| believe that the great educational
trouble of today is that man and wo-
men are too much inclined to stop
studying when they leave university

necessary to keep up with the times

constantly.

BROKE JAIL BECAUSE He
COULDN'T Get FRESH AIR

The acquittal of Llewellyn Felker
at Butte, Mont, recently. of the
charge of manslaughter, brings 10
light an interesting story of his
career during the past three years.
Part OF the scene of this story is
laid in Tacoma
Felker was formerly an apprentice
on the battleship Oregon. His en-
listment expired in 1901, and after
visiting some time In Tacoma, he
went 10 Butte TO visit a married sis
ter who lived there He found any
thing but a pleasant household. His
sisters husband was in the habit of
getting drunk and abusing the wo-
man. FeIker demonstrated frequent
~. but to no avail One day in Sep
TENDER. 1901, when the husband was
especially abusive and had knocked
down his wife, FellSer interfered and
in the quarrel shot his brother-in-
law.
Sawed His Way Out.
Felker was arrested and charged
with manslanghter. Soon after his
Incarceration he sawed a bar of his
cell in two, forced a window OF
the jail and dropped TO the ground
An officer saw his descent and re-
ceived him with open arms When
the pair met in tight embrace the
officer inquired of Felker what in the
name OF summer weather be was try
ing TO do. Felker answered cheer
fully,
