HERES A "STEMMER. =
Railway Men Can Get a Paper and
Pencil and Figure.

The following from the Minnea-
polls Journal is good one. 1t will
be a good problem for the railroad
employees of Lancaster and will make
some Of them want to say few
"cuss" words before they get the
answer:
A problem called the ''Glady w.
Va, railroad problem" has nearly
blocked traffic on the Wabash road.
All the employers are figuring it
out and cussing one another for
the ignorance shown. The pro-
blem, of course simple, is as follows:
"A train one mile long starts
from the station at Gladly. The
engine leaves the station and the
conductor waits until the caboose
comes, when he jumps on the
caboose and walks forward over the
train. When the engine reaches
the next station, Oxely, four miles
distant from Gladly, the conductor
steps off the engine. How far
does the conductor ride and how
far does he Wake"
After solving the above with one
hand tied behind his back, N. Ell.
Crowell of Pennington, Mimi, sat
down and thought up much worse
one. 1t is said to be simple, but
after looking at it, this papers pro-
blem editor started, SHE'D, paved
ground, snorted violently and
trembled in every limb. Here it is:
"A man starts at the foot of an
army and travels to the head of it
and back to the foot. At the in
slant he starts, the army also starts,
and when he reaches the foot after
completing his journey, the foot of
the army is at the point where the
head was when he started. The
army is twenty-five miles IN length
and man and army travel in the
same direction. How far does the
man travel?
