GRIMY HANDS AND FACES
NECESSARY TO HOLD JOBS.
Strange Order is Issued BY Railway
Company.

Houston, Texas, Tdly S.-Any train
or enginman on the Hartman sys-
tenn who comes into terminal with
clean face and hands is liable to
discharge This novel order recently
has been promulgated on the lines Of
the Southern Pacific, Hartman
property, and is general from coast
to coast.
The order is a step toward the pre-
vention of wrecks. A study of the
wrecks by officials of the system Sc
veloped the fact that a majority oc-
CURED in the yards or near the ter
minals of the divisions. This situa-
ton led to the beleg that as the train
approached the terminal all hands re-
Taxed vigilance.
It was found in these cases that the
crews took time to wash their hands
and faces so they could enter the ter
minal, turn over their train and leave
the yards at once.
By the terms of the order additions
are permitted only after the train is
in Should an employe come into the
terminal with shiny countenance and
pink, rosy hands, this fact hereafter
is to be taken that he neglected his
duties and he gecomes liable to dis
charge.

Handwriting on Iron.

It was an accident that led to the
discovery of the method of transfer
ring handwriting to iron. An iron
founder while experimenting with
molten iron under different conditions
accidentally dropped ticket into
mold. He presently found that the
type of the ticket was transferred to
the iron in distinct characters. Fol
lowing up the idea which this fact
suggested, he procured a heat proof
ink, with which he wrote invertedly
on ordinary white paper. This paper
was introduced into the mold before
the molten iron was poured in. When
the mold cooled the paper had been
consumed by the heat, but the ink,
which had remained intact, had left a
clear impression on the iron.

A WhistI;na Oyster.

The proprietor of a London chop
house some years ago made fame and
fortune by the discovery of a musical
oyster. A distinct whistling sound
came from a newly opened barrel Of
oysters. With eagerness he hunted
for the cause and found an oyster
which seemed to, amuse itself by
whistling. The innkeeper advertised
it, and hundreds came daily to his
hostelry to listen to the musical oyster.
In due time the oyster died, and its
secret died with it. 1t is supposed
that the sound was caused by the in
spiration and expiration of air through
tiny hole in the shell. To this day
the inn is known as the Whistling
Oyster.

against the management of the Rec
Wing Reform School, by ex-senator
Andrew Stephens of Crookston, has
filed two reports, one by majority
of the members and one by Senator
A. J. Rockne who represents the
senatorial district in which the
School is located.
The only practical difference in the
two is that the majority report recon-
mends the dismissal of the Superin-
tendent Whittier and his subordinates.
and the report of Senator Rockne
while concurring with the findings
places the blame for conditions on the
Legislature rather than on the Super
intendent and declares it would be un-
just to discharge him and his assist
ants. ~
The findings of the Committee
were substantially as follows:
That the Superintendent bought a
whipping machine in 1908, and that
it was a common thing for boys to be
tied to this machine and f1ogged, after
first being stripped and covered with
a wet towel.
That boys were whipped in many
cases excessively.
That after the whipping machine
was destroyed by fire in 1905, bar
rel was substituted and the boys were
placed over that and after being
stripped were "spanked' with heavy
heather strap.
That they were eften so punished
for unimportant and trivial offenses.
That many times such punishments
was not reported to the Superinten-
dent.
That many times: it was not cor
rectly reported.
The majority of the Committee re-
commended:

For three quarters of century this
"three-f -fifths' clause remained in the
constitution making our claim of be-
ing free nation travesty and our
professions of liberty laughing stock
among the nations of the earth, and
yet it is proposed that the Minnesota
Legislature shall restore the "three-
fifths" in Minnesota and that for
purposes of Representation it shall
require five or more persons in the
counties of Hennepin, Ramsey and st.
Louis to count as much as two in
other parts of the state.
Within the memory of the older
citizens of this state, Wendall Philips,

and prosecuted by the children of

names shine like stars in Americas

actions at that time-and yet it is
proposed by some that fifty years af-
ter these voices were heard in the
wilderness crying freedom and equali-
ty that Minnesota shall again write
three-6fths" into her constitution.
The protest against the "three-
fifths' was given over to the stern
arbitrament of the sword and this
protest was craven en- the Nations

marched into the hell of conflict and
the pride of Minnesota went down to
death in the bloody angle at Gettys-

of thousand hard fought conflicts
where brave men died-and yet it is
to reincarnate the "three-
fifths" and place it in Minnesota's
Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln won a fame that
will endure till enternity's furtherest
call. when with one stroke of the pen
he legally eliminated the "three-
fifths" from the organic law of the
Nation, and yet there are statesmen
