No Merger Of Systems.

General Manager A. W. Suli- van denies the merging of the Iron Mountain-Missouri Pacific under one name. in the following statement:
 Reports that the Iron Noun tain is to be operated in the name of the Missouri Pacific are without foundation. There will be no consolidation of the com panies in name or in fact. They will continue separate and dis tinct. It is not true that Iron Mountain bills of lading will be issued in the name of the Mis- souri Pacific, or that the Iron Mountain is to be absorbed and it's identity lost in the Missouri Pacific. Relations will continue precisely as before
 That it was the intention of the officials to make the change is not denied, nor is it doubted that the forecasted change will ultimately be made.

So, in effect, if not in so many
words, said Mrs. Wagonhorst when
Supervisor Fegley attempted to open
a gutter in front OF her dwelling.
No sooner had the official staked out
a line for a new gutter in front of the
building than she secured seven
American flags and stuck them in the
ground along the line.
She then procured a shotgun and
she took up position on her porch
and dared the supervisor and his as
sistants to go ahead with their work
After long parley they gathered to-
gether the implements of their trade
and decamped with more haste than
grace.
Though the field of battle had been

THE NOSE

r HIRTY-0NE saints in bags. A suf-
fering sinner with huge spring
clothes-pin snapped onto each ear, one
on his nose. another on his lower lip,
several hanging from his fingers, and
twice as many more without places to
hang on.
The victim of the clothes-p pin was the
inventive clerk of the Duffy house The
saints in bags were the 81 most prom
inent members of Elder Blowhorn's fol-
lowing.
Besides being clad in bags, the saints
were adorned by numerous abrasions
and bruises, caused by the events that
followed the practical application of the
clerks little invention for causing in
voluntary snoring.
After prolonged and unique reasoning.
the clerk proved to his own satisfaction
that snoring was greatly conducive to
the preservation of health. His theory
was simple enough. too. From careful
observation. he had learned that the
more robust the person, the more lusty
and resonant was his snore. Weak per-
sons snored in weak, coy way, as II
they had not learned to play on their
nose harps very we'll But the stalwart
ones, strong of wind and sturdy of torso,
would utter few preliminary diapason
notes run up and down the scale
couple of times, and then. striking the
proper key. dash into the popular tune
of Il am dreaming of thee, Nora,
darling.
Following out this line of reasoning.
the clerk very soon reached the con
clusion that. in order for weak ones to
become healthier. they must snore
more If they would not snore. they
must be made to.
Ere long. the clerks little invention
for the promotion of involuntary snor-
and very much resembled the pinehing
variety of clothes-pin, which. when it
seizes anything. hangs on with the
tenacity of a swapping turtle.
All that is necessary to make sleep
er snore is TO cause him to breathe
through his mouth. The idea was that.
when one of these nose holders was
snapped on the victims bill, he would
either breathe through his mouth or
choke. And. if he breathed through his
facial cash, he would snore and the util-
ity of the clerks little invention would
be demonstrated.
s. pleased WAS the clerk with his idea
that he constructed nearly half a bushel
of nose holders before he made trial of

But as each date had failed to witness
