A Wise Brakeman.

An Irishmap had received Job as
brakeman on a railroad in a noun
s-.inous section In Pennsylvania, and
was to be paid a certain amount per
mile as wages.
On one of the first trips the engineer
lost control Of his train, and at a
dangerous rate it went speeding down
the steep gradients
Suddenly the conductor saw his COM
panion. who had been clinging to the
running board for dear lie, make
move as though to rise, and. fearful
that he intended to jump, the copduo-
tor yelled: Don't jump! You'll be
killed."
The greenhorn shouted back: AN
do you think Oi'm fool enough to jump
whin Dim making money as fast as OF
am now?" ....ss

SLIPPERY STREETS.

Great care should be used by horse
men because Of the slippery condition
Of the streets-especially those paved
with creosote blocks and vItrifed brick.
Where the grade is at all perceptible
it is well nigh Impossible for horses
not sharply shod--to keep from falling
when pulling heavy loads. On the
iciest places sand might be sprinkled.
Teamsters can help by avoiding the
most slippery places.
The owner or teamster who whips a
poor horse that falls because of the
condition of the streets should have
the lash applied with similar force to
his own back.

HITcHcocK's TRIUMPH.


postoflice department SILL 900, Post
master General Hitchcock achieved a
triumph which must disarm his most
captious critics.
Regardless Of what men think of
Hitchcock, the politician, they must
take off their hats to Hitchcock, the
business man. And his record is all
the more remarkable when it is taken
into consideration that this saving was
made without curtailment Of the pos
tai service, In fact. the service was
greatly extended. Fifteen hundred new
miles of new postal routes added in
cities, together with SIS new rural
routes.
When Mr.. Hitchcock took charge of
the postoffice department the annual
deficit was $17,OOO0OO. He reduced the
deficit this year to $500 0,O00-with
| added expenditures which brought the
| total actual saving down to S11, 500 0O0
Loebs record in the New York GUS
tom house service is scarcely less re-
markable. The press of the nation has
been amazed by the achievements of
these two officials. There will no long
er be any objection offered to the
methods of young officials who pay
more attention to card indexes and
| system than to the complaints of dis
gruntled politicians.
The postmaster general believes let
| ter postage can be reduced to / cent.
| There is every reason to believe this
can be done-if he be permitted to
work the problem out in a business like
manner without interference from per-
sons who know nothing about the pos
tai service.
