Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engineers Warn Him of Drastic Measures Yet to Come.
Claim They Are Willing To Arbitrate Difference, But the Third Party Must Not Be Influenced By Company.

PEORIA, Jan. 1.--Gran6 Master Hannahan of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotiye Bremen and Engineers to- night issued his second ultimatum to E. H. Hartman of the Southern Pa cific railway, warning him of impend- ing drastic measures that will be placed in effect unless he exercises his powers to terminate the grievance now prevailing. The telegram was as follows:
 The dispute on the Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific company, not withstanding statements to the con trary, Is between your company and our members. On other of our lines the feeling is growing that they may expect the same injustice sn the near future. If your representatives really desire arbitration, we are anxious to adjust matters in tr--.. way, and we insist that the third party should not be permitted to influence your com pany in this matter.
 Once more, in justice to the men and public who will be affected by an extension of the strike to other parts of your system, ask you to exercise your authority and restore conditions

that my elevator wabbled and that I showed desire to run them all down into the basement or uu against tue ! roof. l waited in the vestibule for the black eyed girl. but when she appear cd and I spoke to her she replied: Don't ask me. Robbie. I have only been here a week"'
 Six different times have 1 loved, and six different times have received the bounce. I have now ceased to love. No matter how good looking the girl who takes my elevator and lio matter how sweet her smile or how delicious her giggle. l keep my stern dignity and permit of no familiarity. There are occasions when I am chucked under the chin and I hear the whispered ex- cismation of how sweet am, but the elevator never wabbles by a hairs breadth.
 But is it the same with other elevator boys7 l ask. Alas. no. Wherever I go l find them growing careless of their duties because the sentiment of love has touched their hearts. A month ago young man running an elevator in a prominent skyscraper confided to me that he was in love with & stenogra- pher in the building. She was twenty four and he sixteen. but he did not care for the difference in their ages. h. deed, he thought 1t better to have an aunt and q mother and sweetheart all in one. She had patted him on the back; she had pulled his ear; she had praised his complexion. Tn her insldi- ous way she was turing that boy on to his doom. struggled with him, but it was no use. His lnfatuation was com plete. Three days later while thinking of his darling he bumped his elevator against the roof and hurt three passen- gers and got the bounce. When he went to the woman of his heart for sympathy and to ask her to wait until he could strike another engagement she pretended that sine had never seen or heard of him before and that he must have become intoxicated on soda water
 Today l could name twenty elevator boys who are in love. That means twenty accidents sooner or later It also means twenty bounces. There should be posted up in every elevator in the city a notice reading:
 Any girl speaking to the elevator boy on any matter outside of business will be compelled to walk up and down stairs thereafter
 If you are about to take a public ele- vator look first at the boy who runs it. If he is pale faced and anxious look ing and seems to have something on his mind tJffn your back on that cage and take the stairs. That boy is in love and is worrying ns to how ne can support a wife on SC week.
 If, on the contrary. he is chewing gum and whistling to himself step right in and be hoisted.
 That boy has nothing greater on his mind than a bet on the races.
 l have loved and shall love again, but have found that owe a duty to the public. That duty is to love no more until I get through elevating an elevator The profession is q noble one and growing nobler every day. and the true elevator boy Is being recognized ns the hardworklng hero he is, and even If 1t becomes necessary to appeal to the law and a, legislative inyestigat- ing committee he should be protected against the machinations of the other sex At least that is the opinion of
 SAMSIIS.

CLEARING THE MESS ROOM.
Some Of the Unwritten Laws of the
British Navy.

In the gunroom mess itself the mid
shipmen are ruled with an iron hand, as
probably they need to be, says Il writer
i'll the Grand Magazine in telling the
customs or prankS played by the Junior
officers ON those who have the miSfor-
tune to be Junior to them i'll point of
standing in the British navy.
Those over 1S--the senior-hoWever--
are allowed more privileges than the jul
niorS, among them being, strange to say,
the right To smoke. The juniors do as
they are told without question or remon-
STRANGE.
An instance of this is afforded in one
of the most curious of all the old GUS
toms. At any time that pleaseS his
fancy it is the cherished prerogatve of
the president of the mess To jah an Ordi-
nary tablefOrk into one of the beams
above his head. Instantly every junior
midshipman or cadet in the room PUSHES
for the door as fast as his legs can carry
him. while the progress of the lagga rds
is assisted by vigorous whackS from their
elders Those on the wrong SIDE of the
table climb over it in their haste to take
their obnoxious presence elsewhere
Even the wardroOm has its peculiar
ways Refreshments all around are eN-
acted from man who is mdiscrcet
enough to mention Il lady's name at dim
ner or to make Il bet before the Kings
health has been drunk, CuTI0nSly enough
the unWritten law prohibits an officer
from drawing his sword in the mess
room. This must be Il relic of the DAYS
of sudden and violent brawls. but today
the only purpose served by the regula-
lion is to enable the alert TO trap the
less wary into momentary fOrgetfulurSS
and the consequent penalty.

A Mole Farm.

Now comes Il man with proposition
to start u mole farm.
The first mole farm in America will
soon be established in the southern part
of the Cumberland valley by Thomas
Thrush. young Carlisle man" says -,
press dispatch from Carlisle. Pa Sever
al acres of ground will be Scooped on
To the depth of five feet and sand filled
in. The bottom of the plant will be of
hFiee and 3-fo0t wall will be erected
around the entire mot, thus caging the
moles in.
Mole skin. for which the animal is
priced, is much more valuable than scai-
skin. y New York man recently paid
$1,000 for a coat made of the mole's fur.
The animal is little larger than the
rat and is of ahopt the same color
Bricks beng costly. it is suggested that
instead of several acres 100 feet square
be the dimensions of the trial farm -
