There came over ME as l sat in the
caboose that evening a wild desire to
ride with the engineer in the cab.
Planning to slip ahead along the half
mile or so Of train at the first stop, I
made known my desire to our con-
ductor over that part of the run. :
! They'll be glad to see you" he told
me. You won't,have any trouble get

Sometimes you have to get down an

much fun to be swept off the tops Of

There was no disputing that, nor
that the three lengthwise planks at
the gable of the car roofs were not
wide promenades. You jump from one
to another to cross from car to car,
and man has got to have something
of a gymnastic training and some cir

PARIS .RAGPICKERS.
An Occupation That 10 Passed Aiooa
From Father To Son

An Occupation That 10 Passed Aiooa
From: Father to Son.
The ragpickers Of Paris are born to
their work, the occupation being pass
ed from father to son for generations
Each ragpicker family has its own dis.
trict. which is Inherited by the chill
dren and grandchildren. s.ts =
In spite Of all the progress made In
modern and elegant Paris barrels Of
waste are piled up on the streets In
front of many buildings on beautiful
boulevards in the, early morning hours,
and It Is the privilege and in fact the
mission Of the ragpickers to examine
this refuse.
They have use for everything. and
but little is left after they have passed
their thoroughness being one reason
why the system is still allowed. En-
cry scrap of paper" has its markets
rags are gathered for paper manufac-
turers; shoes so back to leather deal
ers. -.'- 49,
Old sardine and preserved meat tina
are used for making playthings, old
bones produce gelatin and glue. lem
ons and orange peels are greatly
sought after and sold ut the rate Of 4
cent q pound to perfume and sirup
manufacturers. old metals are highly
priced. cigar stubs go to tobacco fac
tories. and even stale vegetables are
carted away. $50 -
The quarters Of the ragpickers cf
Paris are just outside the confines ot
the city-sections carefully avoided by
most people who do not belong to tho
guild. Every member Of the family,
from the oldest to the three-year-old,
takes part In the sorting Of the spoils,
and it often happens that members Of
family die either from poisoning
from stale food or from cut from
one Of the tins.--Popular Mechanics.

exclaimed: Gentlemen, we are lost; there Is
now no other recourse but to attack the Span

what is to be done?' After this several hours
were spent in vain discussion. Hidago now
showed his greatness He did not think of
flight although on account of his sacred pro

he preferred to fight for his principles and MS

In 1909 there formed In Valadolid
conspiracy which had for It's object the assem-

New Spain in the name OF Fernando VII In
1he event that the mother country should fall
10 the arms of the French, which without
serious intention might probably lead to the
independence of tho country. The uprising
was planned to take place December 81.
