Chairman Shonts said:

done and what should be done. We
found the first thing OF Importance to

men. When our Government first took
hold of the canal every effort was d.

About the Inaugural Ball.

Writing on Our Inaugural Balls"
in the March Delineator, Catherine
Frances Cavanaugh concludes with
this paragraph of advice: ITO the
thousands all over the country who
read accounts of the inaugural ball
in their home paper, many with
heart-burnings and envy of those
who could and did attend, l would
say: Don't! 1t is not worth it,
1t is a most public AFFAIR. which any
one who can pay the price of en-
trance may attend. You may go
dressed TO be seen and to see, and
accomplish neither because of the
great crush. Dancing is almost an
impossibility. Do not let the plea
of wishing to see the president be
your excuse. either, for every new
executive gives those who would wish
him well the chance to do so at the
White House during the week of his
Inauguration.

A Monster Moose Head.


What is probably the largest
moose head in the world belongs TO
John Richardson of Glenwood
Springs The head measures 721s
inches from tip to tip. without any
split of block. II is exactly as ma
ture made it. and could be spread
several inches by various devices.
Mr.. Richardson secured the head
in San Francisco in 1890 and had
it mounted, paying about $500.
Since then he has been offered $3.50
for it. but refuses to place a price
upon it.
In its lifetime the big bull weighed
approximately 1000 pounds. the
head and antlers, mounted. weigh
ing 275 pounds.
The animal was killed by Frank
Woods. on Copper river, Alaska. in
1889. after a long chase of several
days over mountains and through
valleys. The animal was the leader
of large herd. many of which were
killed. but the big bull moose was
the object of the hunt after he was
spied by the party.

Last evening an entertainment OF
novel and delightful nature ~ss
given in the Sunday school room Of
the Methodist church by one divis-
ION of the Ladies' Aid Society. Ov-
ing to the Indictment weather the Ia
dies did not expect a large attend
ance. but in his they were agree
ably disappointed The crowd mum
oered about two hundred and the
a1feir proved one Of the most charm
ing church entertainments eve held
in the city.
A program complete in its arrange
ment and rich in its quality was car
ried out in the early part of the ev-
enIng. The Silver Till Mandolin
Club rendered several exquisite selee-
tIons. The Methodist quartet sang
two very beautiful songs. Miss Be-
sic DeLong gave reading which was
thoroughly enjoyed. Mr.. Cole de-
lighted the gn@sfs with a solO. Bv
request Miss Catherine Tupper gave
splendid reading Every number
was repeatedly eneored and the re-
sponsiyes were charming.
The weighing" feature carsed an
immessureable amount of merriment
Advertisements from magazines were
taken and cut into two pieces. Each
guest was furnished with an envel
ope containing a portion of an ad-
vertisement; then the matching Of
the advertisements began. When a
guest found party holding the por-
tion of an advertisement correspond
ing with the one he held, both were
weighed, and the gentleman was re-
quired TO pay one cent for each
pound represented in the difference
Of the weights. Refreshments were
then served in the parlors in the
easement of the church. The lunch
con was most tempting.
The ladies realized a handsome
sum from the entertainment and
greatly appreciate the liberal pat
ronage.
The Weighing Way social was
success in every way, and its pleas
ures were manifold.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU BY
THE CHICAGO g. ALTON
A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Force Of Employees Recruited From Among the
Young Men Along the Territory Through
Which the Road Passes.

The Chicago 4 Alton Is the pionee
among railroads In some Of Its meth.
DDS OF attempting to solve certain prob
lens. This 1t has done by the estab.
lishment OF a regular employment
bureau through which to secure new
men; by the maintenance Of a thor.
ough and expeditions training school
to teach them their duties on q rail.
road, and then by the use Of q series
OF tests and examinations. through
which the in~competents are weeded
out and the capable and energetic
ones assured OF their merited pro.
motions and compensation. This sys.
tenn was evolved about three years
ago, and 1t has gradually been i'm.
proved. so that It's usefulness Is now
unQuestioned.
The first feature which makes the
Atoms system unique Is the recruit.
ing OF Its force OF employees from
among the young men along the ter.
ritory through which the road passes.
This object was stated in the circular
first promulgated by the officials In
establishing the employment bureau.
The theory on which 1t was started
q been found by practice to be cor.
rect--by securing young men from
the immediate vicinity Of the Alton
e there Is created a greater com.
munity OF interest between the men
n the company. This is very nat.
ural, for whatever advances the
perity Of the company and increases
It's business, also promotes the better.
ment OF the men In its employ and
their families and friends in the towns
and country %traversed by the road.
The use OF the ~stereopticon car in
connection with the training of rail.
way employees is an idea originated
and placed in use by the management
Of the Alton in 1900. The purpose
or h equipment of the car is to edu.
cate and examine men for the opera
ting service of the road. AS the
name Indicates. this instruction is
done by a series of talks or lectures,
by w. F Perdue, who, with the use
OF the stereopticOn, places before the
man In charge of the car visible Illus
trations of all the signals and stations
with which he would be confronted
IN actual experience upon the road,
The scope of this course of instruc-
ton and examination is indicated
by the fact that it includes all phases
or the duties of the train dispatcher,
the agent, telegraph operator, en-
gineer, fireman, conductor, brake.
man and yardman.
Through this system the company
is enabled to select from it's own
ranks all the men necessary for pro-
motions to the different advanced
positions, meanwhile training up a
new set of men for the best kind of
minor places. All the men required
