Next year he was in a position to de-

years, by standing by his thugs, he

their allies; and then at the conven-

they sought him, and were glad to

Taking lunch the other day in New
York with John Burns, NJ. p, of Eng
land, and other distinguished men and
women, the whole conversation ran to
the great money stealers of America,
not the people in prison, but the real
thieves, who are all, or most of them,
at large. MI. Burns was anxious to
get at the cause Of, as he put It, the
wholesale graft in America" We ar
gued long and loud, but got to no con
clusion other than that our system
was a school for graft, and that u
political bosses" were in a great
measure the worst people in the whole
world, that there was but one remedy
and that remedy publicity exposure
in the press, and that when the bosses
appear on the horizon they should be
set upon at once by the press OF the
country, and never let up on till, if
possible, they are landed in Jail.
A boss is a peculiar thing, if you
stop to think of it. What is a boss?

Along with this cut went into eff

by track men, except to the Holmes

This latter concern has opened a
store at the West end, opposite the
Santa Fe depot, and any trackman en-

his groceries there, as well as some
lines of plain clothing, getting them
on credit, and the company will see
that the money is taken out of the
employees pay.

S. B. Grimshaw, assistant to the
president and general manager of the
Santa Fe Central railway, who re-
turned to Santa Fe from a short trip
to Lamy, says that while there he
witnessed a demonstration of how
great the westward travel is this fall.
while in Lamy,' said Mr.. Grim
shaw, Il saw trains Nos. / and Z from
the east en- route to California points,
run in eight separate sections, each
section carrying from eight to twelve
cars, mostly tourist sleepers, and
even with that the trains were crowd
ed, and people from along the line
were engaging sections that they
might have some place to sit down,
as all the seats in the coaches were
taken"

homeseekers to the west is heavier

fore in the history of the coast lines.

clares that he was robbed of this money
as well as Of his bonds and securities.
Nobody has ever believed him, because it
seems unreasonable that a robber should

money, he may also be right about the
bonds"
Strange that neither of us thought of
connecting David's box with his uncle's
bonds. But then l did not know that
the bonds were in box; one thinks of
bonds as roll of paper.
"As for David's box" said George,
IL agree with you, VIII, that it is best
to say nothing about it. Let him keep
his secret. If it is valuable, so much
the better. We will keep the thing to
