 He is a railroad engineer in Texas. He Is known as Whistling Joe by peo- pie he has never seen or who have never seen him. But these people have heard him for many yeaIs, at least they have heard the incessant steam whlstle which he blows and never tires of 1t. they say. Some know him complacent- ly for his frolicsome noise, while others abuse him pretty severely from q dis- tance.
 Tn the town live in whistling Joe is more famous for the frets he causes. This is because he lives there him. self ani has . very faithful wife al home who has her ears always open When Joe reaches the suburbs Of the town on his International engine. ne begins sending his wireless, but not noiseless, message through the air. It IS invariably early in the morning, and he foudles his hunger, likewise he orders breakfast. Three whistles mean a cup of unsugared coffee, four batter cakes and syrup with them if followed by a succession of twelve fast shrills. Joe Is a man not to forget his bacon, you may be sure. and after hot cakes and syrup and coffee have been ordered Mrs. whistling Joe is to oe seen hust- ling for the meat box. She has heard seventeen blatant wnistles. By then Joe has reached town. He hurrtes home, forgets the whistle and lays to his breakfast.
