RAILWAY DETECTIVES.
They Trace Those Who StsaI or %.
stroy Property Of the Road.

They Trace Those Who Steal or De-
stroy Property Of the Road.
The secret service Is a hard game
to tackle. but. like all kinds Of work.
1t has its easy jobs. One Of them Is
that Of special agent for railroad.
The agent is supposed to trace those
who steal or destroy railroad property.
When he is notified that a trunk or
other article Of baggage is missing he
finds out by its number from where It
was sent and follows it on the books
to the last station where it has been
checked. Then he notifies the police
in the vicinity between the station
where the baggage was last checked
and the station where 1t should have
been checked. The police get busy,
and probably the property is soon re-
covered and the thieves put in jail,
The baggage is then turned over to
the special agent. who notifies the rail-
road official that he has recovered the
stolen goods.
II a freight car Is robbed the spe-
cial agent pursues the same tactics.
He finds ont where the car was last
sealed and the place where the car was
reported as having its seal broken
The police or constables in the coun-
try between the two points are mott
fed. and II they fail to capture the
robbers the railroad may never hear
again Of the stolen goods. Wherever
destruction has occurred to railroad
property it is usually police officers
who trace and arrest those guilty.
However. the special agent must
be keen judge Of human nature and
with sufficient tact to make himself
popular with the police officers in his
territory. Usually he is an old time
detective and is we'll enough acQuaint-
ed with detectives and police through.
out the country to obtain results where
an amateur would fail.

A BIG LINEUP IN

Eleven Men on Assorted
Charges Faced Mayor on
Tuesday Morning.

Mayor Zimmerman this morning in

ranging from eleven to thirty days.
Carl King, arrested Saturday night

He pleaded guilty but explained, Il
was only insane with the desire to so
joy riding, SO jumped on the bicycle

testified that King was riding the BIZ
cycle on the sidewalk and almost ran
into the patrolman. King was first
arrested for violating the law, which
prohibits riding on walks, but later
the charge was changed to petit lar

given 10 days in Jail.

There is Economy In Providing
Well For Animals on the Farm

give less milk than the same animals
would If properly protected. CO The
live weight Of unsheltered mich cows
in winter will lot be maintained as
we'll as where they are sheltered"
We have taken the foregoing, con-
corning the experiment, from an arti-
Gle recently written by H. c. Mills.
Dairy Fieldman. Purdue Station.
There is a satisfactory feeling con-
nected with having plenty of good
feed under shelter in convenient
place, too. Then when the bad days
come it isn't necessary to expose ones
self while caring for the stock. We be-
lieve by having things AS convenient
as possible on the disagreeable days
we do the work little bit better than
we would If they were otherwise.
The value of convenient feeding ar
rangements is not only noticed on the
bad days, but it is also seen on other
days as well. When we come in from
the field, tired out, we will not do the
chores quite as we'll If there is a lot
of needless chasing about to do to get
feed and bedding, etc. The hired man
will also do his work better if he has
every thing convenient SO that he does
not have to do an extra days work to
get the chores done.
There is considerable hord work
connected with caring for the farm
animals, especially during the winter
months, yet there is a compensation
other than the money one which takes
away much Of the tedium.
In the morning when we go out to
the barn to begin our morning chores
We are greeted by some very apprecia-
tive friends, and one forms an attach
ment for these friends through daily
contact that is difficult to describe
Half way between the house and the
barn we are met by the old mamma"
kitty and her two baby" kitties. Their
gentle meows tell us that they are
glad to see us and that they are anx-
ious for their breakfast of warm, fresh
milk They brush their arched backs
against our legs and gently purr in an
ticipation.
When we open the barn door there
is a greeting chorus which surpasses
the "Hallelujah" chorus. The horses
soft whinny as they thrust their noses
out across the managers to extend to us
their morning greeting and to tell us
how hungry they are, and the gentle
mewing of the cattle as they shift un-
easily back and forth in their stalls
swinging their hands and licking their
mouths with their long pointed ton
CUES is certainly sweet music for the
farmer.
We often think of how much the
city man misses.
