ONE RAILROAD DENIES PASSES
TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WHO
FAVORED ESCHTOWNSEND BILL

scores or eastern congressman and
several United States senator's, who
have enjoyed the hospitality Of the
railroads for SO long a time that they
have come to believe II TO be their In.
herited right, will have TO pay fare on
their summer vacation trips this year.
One OF the most prominent eastern
railroads has refused all REQ ests for
free transportation which, have come
from the senator's and congressmen
who were either In favor of the Esch.
Townsend bin or we're lukewarm In
their advocacy OF the railroad side OF
the legislation. 1t Is also understood
that other eastern roads are taking
similar action, and In consequence
there Is CONSERVATION In the ranks of
the United States legislators.
There Is no mistaking the reason
for the turning down" which the
members OF congress are receiving.
TO every request that comes from
legislators who have been placed on
the black list a %stereotyped letter is
SEM by the president Of the road.
Road to Retaliate.
This letter says that for years that
particular railroad has submitted
without a murmur to the petty sys.
tenn of blackmail levied upon 1t by
legislators who had no claim to free
rides. This was done on the theory
that when the time came the railroads
would have friends who would at
least give the railroad side of legis.
lation a careful and fair study. On
the contrary. 1t is said, when the op.
%portunity presented itself the legisla.
tor in question broke his neck get.
ting on record as being in favor of
the Esch-TOwnsend bill.
The presidents letter then declares
that so long as favors do not seem to
bring even a fair consideration Of the
railroads rights he has decided that
favors shall cease, and that If the per-
son In question wants TO ride over
the road in question he had better
buy a ticket.
81 never was in favor of granting
political transportation said this
particular president to a friend the
other day, and now | have a good op.
portunity to cut off some of those oh.
jectionable deadheads. | am not
handling them with gloves, either
Transportation has been given them
in the past upon the theory that they
were friends, but when we needed
friends they were not there"

For the Cuckoo.

The aggressive man finished his story
and regarded us with such a superior
air that we trotted out the little anec-
dote about the cuckoo clock.
Yes. sir" we concluded, "just as he
shouted upstairs that 1t was II O'clock
the cuckoo clock cuckooed three times,
and the man didn't have to do thing
but stand there on the stairs and
cuckoo nine more to make 12."
We laughed uproariously and con-
graduated ourselves that the traveller
was effectually squelched.
"Well, go on" said he, with some i'm
patience.
ION whereY we asked.
"On with the story" he replied.
"Why, man." we expostulated, that
Is the story. Don't you sect Just as
he shouted upstalrs"-
"Oh, ratsr' said the man. Next
morning. when the man was going to
work, his wife said, Tom, don't for

The winter brought with it an un-
precedented amount Of snow, but in
spite of family letters Mrs. Barring
ton in Arizona was unable to realize
the state of the weather at home.
Toward the end of February the con-
scientious housekeeper wrote to her
gardener. instructing him to be sure to
plant the sweet peas along the back
fence on the usual date, the first day
Of April.
John, the gardener, bought the sweet
peas. but was unable to carry out the
rest of Mrs. Barrington's instructions
for a reason which he explained in the
following letter to his mistress:
Respected Madam: | have bought
the peas. but l cannot plant them.
There is so much snow that cannot
find the fence"

A weary looking y0uI- nan dropped

"Why, no." replied the wondering
customer. Lets hear it,

For awhile the barber refused to tell

said, because your hair is stained with
red and black ink back of your ear,
where you have been in the habit of
placing your pen. The fact that the
marks are Nback Of the left ear show
that you are left handed. and the fact
that you use red and bIa ok ink shows
you to be bookkeeper n nd not Il clerk
or literary man."
The customer left the place marvel
ing much at the simplicity Of the meth.
