Every luxury known to the modern
Office building augmented by indl-
vidual taste is there and the great
man settles himself in his soft
leather chair and glances over the
essence of the reports laid on his
table for his convenience. The
work of his four or five hour day has
commenced.
On the same day, in far away
Greeley an elderly man bent with
wears and toll arises at the break OF
dav. He has not been even comfort
ably warm during the night, ana
seems a bit relieved by the change
to be moving about kindling the lit
tle fire in the kitchen stove for his
old Wife to prepare the meagre meal
The thermometer still registers
% below zero as the old man leaves
the humble home to take up his
station at the railway crossing.
Every muscle in the scantily dressed
body is drawn tense with the cold
as he reaches his post of duty at
O'Clock. The only thing now TO re-
lieve the monotony of cold and work
for IL hours is an old chair set Just
to one side of the thorougbfare in
which he might rest if he dared SIT
down. His only alternative between
freezing to death and the rest lie
Graves is to keep moving incessantly.
Finally at the end of the day that
seems like an eternity he is permitted
to return to his home to meet his
sympathetic and loving mate.
There are two such crossings in
Greeley where men are stationed.
Not vestise of shelter against cold

cannot quit. This position alone
stands between him and starvation.
Should he drop out another man nc

place. But no matter how many
changes it would never fall to the
lot of the railroad president to be
the crossing man even for one hour
on these cold mornings.

that can take such matters up in

PIGEON HOLE MAN
Ills Duties at Washington Are Nest
 Numerous.

Did you ever hear of the pigeon
 hole manT' Probably not unless you
 have knocked about the government
 departments in Washington for sey-
 tral years. There are many odd
 things about the executive depart
 ments but one of the most unique of
 Uncle Sans time honored institu-
 uons is this genius who presides over
 these particular pigeon holes. He is
 somewhat analogous 10 the silent
 partner who is blamed for everything
 that goes wrong and never gets credit
 for anything that goes right. The
 ''pigeon-hole man" is usually a person
 in responsible position. His prfnci-
 pal duty is to hold up disputed cases
 as long as possible. At best the gov ernment is bad debt payer and if
 men in private life were to attempt
 the same policy they would soon lose their business credit. Uncle Sam
 never pays anything until he has to. Thousands of American citizens have money coming to them and Uncle sam knows 1t: knows their claims
 are just, but unless the particular individual knows if too, and presents a claim So thoroughly prepared and so inyulnerable to attack that it will do no good to procrastinate. the gov ernment will not enlighten him. Thus it happens that thousands of dollars are in the governments strong box that ought 10 be out in circulation. buying shoes and frocks for Amer can babies Instead of lying idle in the vaults In Washington. But to revert to the ' pigeOn-hole man" He acts on the theory that in nine cases out of ten these disputed claims if Ioft alone will settle themselves. There fore he labels them nicely. puts them in a. jacket tied around with a pro fusion of red tape and hides theud where the cobwebs can decorate them until such time as some influential congressman makes an imperative de- n and to see them. Whenever I'll trace Of document in any of the de partments is lost it is usually affrSbt;- ted to this particular individual.

Although blood flowed freely from Ryan's nose, which Murphy, made special target, and was smeared all over his face. not a womans head was turned away.
 From the first the women, who watched the contest from the grand stand at the fair grounds, were inter- ested spectators When Murphy sud denly shot wicked jolt to his op- ponent's jaw there was ripple of hand-clapping from the women all through the stand.
 Suddenly. however, Murphy's pow erful left, landing on Ryans nose. drew blood profusely. Then the hand. clapping grew louder. and feminine shrieks of "Goodr' Good" echoed throughout the place.
 This increased appreciably when Murphy duplicated the trick several times by landing steady stream of jOlts on 'Ryan's unfortunate nose.
