The Southern Pacific soon found
that 1t could not do business without
trains seven and eight, which were
taken off when the limited was put
on. The traffic was so heavy that the
company had to run extra sections of
trains nine and ten to get the passen-
gers over the road. Orders were
given TO put the trains on again. The
new time table has not been issued,
but in the mean time the trains have
been run as extras. Train seven
leaves FL Paso after the arrival of the
Rock Island train, which happens any
old time of the day, but is supposed to
be early 10 the morning. If No. Z
leaves El Paso before Ne. 8 it takes
the mail car and hauls it to Lords
burg, where it is set out and waits I'M
til No. o comes along, When this
happens the mail from the Texas &
Pacific and the Sunset is brought
here as express mails. The only OBJ.
ject any one can see for this procedure
is to get the postal clerks up earlier
and give them a longer day. The
mails are so heavy, that the depart
ment was forced to put a helper on
the car, TO assist the regular clerks
and as the cars were only built fol
one man to work in, 1t is rattle.

A famous physician upon being ask

ceaseless introspection in which so
many of the rising generation of ner-

Game Butchers,

Earl De Grey, the heir to the Marquis
of Ripon, has probably accounted for
more game than any other living sports
man.
Four years ago the German Emperor
had in the course Of nearly thirty years
bagged about 10000 head Of game. But
so far back as 1895 Lord De Grey had
eclipsed this record eight times over,
says the Yorkshire Post, having in TWEEN
ty-nine years bagged 316,693 head.
Of this enormous total the chief items
comprised 400 pheasants. 9,4OO
cartridges, 45,5O0 grouse, 26,5O0 hares
and about the same number of rabbits.
In Ireland a few years ago he brought
down sixteen geese with one gun 1.-TWO
barrels).
In 1893 alone he accounted for 1875
head. including 1872 cartridges, 576O
pheasants, 2611 grouse, S37 hares, 914
rabbits and 300 beasts of the field.
The record for grouse shooting is,
however. held by Lord Walsingham.
During one days shoot on the Blubber-
house moors, in Yorkshire, in August,
1872, with the expenditure of 100 car
tridges, he brought down 421 brace of
grouse.
On August 80, 1888, he was shooting
