CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.- Following
plan for Sretrenchment, railroads
of the country in the last year have
laid off $3.50 men, effecting net
annual saving of operating expenses
Of $4,000, 900, according to a re-
port made public yesterday after
noon.
This method of economy in oper-
alton has been adopted by sixty
per cent of all the roads, and is
rapidly spreading to the remaining
lines of railroad through the entire
country.
The decrease in expenses and
maintenance is said to be the re-
suit of the Interstate commerce
commission which refused to allow
the roads to put into effect a
general increase of freight rates.
The largest reductions in the rail-
road forces are among the track
men, shopmen and miscellaneous
employees.
The report containing these fig
ures may, it is said, have an inn
portant bearing on the widespread
grievances existing in the ranks of
the shopmen on the Hartman
lines.
Following is the list of demands
issued to the Hartman lines by
the Federation of Shop Employees:
Recognition of Shop Employees
Federation, representing all five
crafts.
All employees now and hereafter
! Employed and not members of the
association or union to be given &c
days in which to join, the effect be-
ing to establish a CLOSED" shop.

days.
Flat wage increase of 7 cents an
hour.

by employees, who now have nc

TWO MEN FOUND
BURIED DEEP IN ICE

BERNIE, Switzerland, Aug. 3d.
Tourists while crossing the Loet-
schen glacier yesterday saw deep
down in the clear ice the faces
of two dead men. Guides accom-
panying the party Clipped out with
their axes the frozen bodies of the
two unfortunate men and conveyed
them to the surface.
The bodies have not yet been
identified, but they are probably
those of two London tourists named
Bemebecke and Coin, who disap-
peared IA years ago.

ILL-PAID MASTERS OF MUSIC
Mozart Died Poor Although His Works

Although, according to Mr.. Bal
four, music is the greatest of all the
arts, some masters of music received
remarkably little for their compo-
sitions, says the London Chronicle.
Mozart died poor, although the num-
Der Of his works totals 626. For
"The Marriage Of Figaro" he re-
ceived one hundred forms, and for
"Don Juan" 225 forms. "Der
Freischutz," the most popular opera
in Europe for many years, brought
Weber 1925. Beethoven was placed
beyond want only by a small pension
which he owed to the interest of
friends. Of recent years musicians
appear to have been better treated.
Brahms drew a large income from
his compositions, his Third Sym

ner, too, although he had q struggle
in his early days, in his later years
was a rich man, through q patron
rather than popularity.

PLAYING FOX NEARLY FATAL
BOY Has Narrow Escape From Pack
Of Hounds Sent Out for
Exercise.

A small boy, playing the part Of q
fox, narrowly escaped being torn Ia
pieces near Phoenixville, Pa. Mr4
Fulmer owns a fine pack Of fo1
hounds, and, as they had not en-
joyed a run for weeks, the owner
decided to give them little eIer-
else. Taking bag from the box
in which he Keeps several foxes, he
told John Rambo, . fifteen-year-Old
boy, 10 drag the hesyily-scented beg
across the hiIls and he would turn
loose the dogs. The boy had dihaP-
pesred beyond q distant hill whsm
the hounds were released. Around
they circled until ono Of them struck
the trail, and thsn away they dashed,
in pursuit Of the bogus fox. Almost
instantly IL daRned upon the hunt
er that II the hounds overlook the
boy they would tssr him TO pieces.
Hs saddlsd q horse quickly, and rode
swiftly In pursuit Of the dogs. They
had a good start, and 1t was long,
hard gallop; but fortunately he had
told the boy where to drag the bag,
and SO, by a short cut, reached him
ahead Of the dogs, which we're close
upon him and running madly. Full
mer seized the sstonished boy and
lifted him upon the horse, beyond
the reach of the hounds, which he
could even then hardly prevent from
tearing young RambO to pieces.

GOOD NERVES OF GAMBLERS
Necessary Part Of The Professional
Equipment, Without Which suo-
cess ls impossible.

ct has always been held that steady
nerves are about the most valuable
qualification a man can have to At
him for playing poker successfully"
the gray-haired young looking man in
the club smoking room said. The
man who allows himself to get ratified
under any circumstances when he is
playing is not likely to get the better
of the other fellow. But II this is true
now in New York 1t was more conspic-
uously and prominently true some
twenty or thirty years ago In some
other parts of the country. And espe
cially was It true with regard to pro-
fessional gamblers.
There is a widespread belief that
a professional gambler will not hest
tate to cheat at poker If he finds he is
not likely to win a square game. And
II this is true here and now, as l be-
neve 1t to be, 1t has certainly been true
at times and places in which public
opinion tolerated II 1t did not approve
killing the man who was caught
cheating at cards. That Is precisely
what public opinion did in many parts
OF the United States not SO many
years ago.
"All this being understood, it is easy
to realize that the profession of card
playing in the west called for the exer-
else of such nerves as the average
man has not. He who adopted It was
almost obliged to be skilled in the use
OF weapons. and as a matter Of fact
the most OF the professionals were 30
skilled.

COULDN'T see JOKE.

It is dangerous to Joke with an
Indian. His sense of humor is very
dull, and he is very apt to mistake a
joke for an insult. The clerk of
supply store in southern Colorado
did not know Indian nature very
well when he invited Ute chief to
a boxing bout. After explaining the
use of the gloves, which the chief
seemed to readily understand they
went into a vacant room in the rear
of the store to spar. The gloves
were adjusted, and the clerk invited
the chief to hit him. This, of course,
he failed to do, as Indians never
strike with their hands in conflict.
All at once the clerk struck out, and,
catching the chief under the ear,
landed him on the floor. This was
enough. The Indian sprang to his
feet, pulled off the gloves, jerked out
a knife and the clerk had to run for
his life. Fortunately he managed
to keep out of reach until some
friends caught the Infatuated Indian
and held him until he cooled off.
Then the clerk explained the joke,
but with very poor success. The
chief consented to forego vengeance
for the insult, but he was never
friends with the clerk.

TRAINING IN GOOD MANNERS
Begin When Boy 10 Young, and Po-
likeness 10 Bound to Become
Second Nature.

Long before had any sons Of my
own made up my mind that, II
ever had the training OF boy, l
should begin, as soon as he could un-
derstand anything, to teach him the
small things that constitute good man
ners. SO many boys l have known.
and men, too. who at heart are good
and kind and really refined. yet lack
so large a part of the little oourtesies
that It is hard to believe they have
been well brought up. In most cases
It is the fault of the mother. She
feels that II Is much more important
to form the character Of little boy,
that his manners can wait till he Is
older The result is that one sees
boys and men who rarely forget to be
polite outside OF their homes, and yet
seem to think II unnecessary to treat
their own mother In the same way.
My view is that there is no need
to neglect the character because you
pay attention TO the manners. | think
have succeeded. AS soon as my nrst
little boy wore trousers l taught him
tina he must take OF his hat as soon
as he came into the house or when a
lady spoke to him In the street That
he must rise from his chair when l
came at the dining table. must never
walk out of the room before lady.
and all the other little polite ways We
IKE 10 see in men. II has never been
any trouble to keep him up 70 these
things; he learned 20 young that Il
