It was a colloQuy at a north sid. butchers shop. "Oh," said the little woman, that's an awful big bone IT that small steak. I don't like to have to pay for all bone."
 "Yes'm," said the butcher, politely but with touch of irony in his answer that do seem to be a good deal oi bone, but the animals what's comin' tc this market now seems to have more ol less bone In 'em. And>really as animals is built now I don't see how they car get along without bones."
 "That may all be true" said the lit tie woman, and there was a wicked twinkle in her eye, but this morning found a good sized bone in the sausage and I leave It to you, honest now don't you think that is going little toe far"

SCIENTIFIC STAIR SWEEPING.
Method by Which Obstruction to
 Travel Ir Reduced.


 "There is, 1t seems," said the town traveller to New York Sun man, "a scientific method of sweeping stairs i; method whereby the people passing up and down, as on stairway In con stant public use, may be, while sweep ing is going on, In the smallest degree possible, ipcommoded by 1t.
 ''This method Is scarcely applicable to narrow stairs, but 1t may be applied with great advantage to the sweeping of wide stairs where the traffic is great. It was seen demonstrated on the broad stairs leading down to the subway from the entrance at the Brooklyn bridge.
 "It Is a familiar fact that the ordi- nary way of sweeping stairs Is to sweep the steps one after another in success sion, sweeping each one clear across from side to side. If the sweeping Is done In this manner half the people go- ing up or down may have to dodge the sweeper. In dodging the sweeper they dodge into other people, and so the travel on the stairs may be congested and the whole movement impeded.
 But by the scientific method of sweeping all this uncertainty about where the sweeper may be found Is avoided and half the stairway is left constantly and entirely clear to travel, which can move up and down in that open way quite freely and 50 with the least possible delay.
 By this method the sweeper simply begins at the end of the step on one side the stairway and sweeps that step to the center. There he stops and goes down a step to the next one, to sweep that step In like manner, from It's end to the center and so he keeps on down step after step, sweeping the stairway for one-half It's width, keeping himself always on that side and leaving the other half of the stairway entirely free. When he has thus swept down half the stairway he throws that side open and starts at the top again, now on the other side and sweeps down in the same way, step by step, to the cen ter"

Two SETS Of MEN ARRESTED
FOR 0.R.N. TRAIN ROBBERY
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN OF TRAIN IDENTIFY JOHNSON AND
BENSON AS THE HoIDUPs WHILE MAN NAMED BURKE
coNFEssEs THE ROBBERY AND MP11cArEs TWO OTHERS
THAN THOSE NAMED

Portland, Dec. 22.-The sheriff 3
ofice. railroad detectives and the
local police are confronted with a
curious array of contradictions in
the matter of Identification of the
mn alleged to have been implicated
IN the robbery of the Portland Chi
eago special on the o. r, & N. near
this city last Thursday night.
Yesterday afternoon the engineer
and fireman of the train positively
identified Oscar Johnson and Harry
Benson as being two of the three
men who robbed the train. Last
night William Burke. who was ar
rested as a suspect in the robbery
Of the train, confessed his part in
the crime, duplicating one Jack
HAYES, an alleged ex-convict from
Folsom prison, California, who was
arrested Sunday. Burke did not
know of Hayes arrest, and when
the latter was placed where Burke
could see him he positively identi-
fed him as one of his confederates
IN the train robbery. Burke named
another man. for whom the police
are searching. as the third man in
the robbery.
The sheriff's ofice arrested Burke
upon what appears to be conclusive
evidence, but the police department.
which arrested Johnson and Benson
Is emphatic that Sheriff Stevens has
the wrong men and that Benson and
Johnson are two Of the train rob-
bers. They were arrested for hold
ing up a saloon and connected with
the train robbery later.
How the o. r. & N. train crew
will reconcile their positive identifi-
cation of Benson and Johnson with
Burke's confession that he, with
Hayes and another man, committed
the train robbery is unknown. A
puzzling theory is advanced from
some quarters that Hayes, Burke
Benson, Johnson and several othel
men are really members of the same
gang.
