An UnCrOwded Profession.

10 1900, we believe, the supply
Of lawyers and doctors was quite
equal to the demand, as there
were at that time a hundred and
fourteen thousand of the former
and thirty-two thousand Of the
latter. An actuarial genius has
figured out that to maintain the
two professions in the same state
relative to population that they
occupy in that census year we
should have seventeen hundred
new lawyers and two thousand
new doctors a year. The schools
today are turning out a far greater
number; in fact. there we're more
than four thousand law era duates
last year, aud a good many men
enter the profession otherwise
than through a law-school course.
AT great expense, that is we quail.

REDMEN BEATEN BY
M0BRIDGE AND ISABEL
These Towns Show Aberdeen Agere.
cation Good Exhibitions of
National Sport.

The baseball team OF the Red
mems lodge at Aberdeen came out
from that city last Sunday and
went to Isabel where they played
a game of ball with the team OF
that place in the Afternoon. Aber-
deem is quite a large city. and it was
naturally expected that this aggre-
cation Of ball tOsSers would put
up an excellent exhibition Of the
national sport. This theory was
quite strongly impressed on the
people of this neck of the woods
the latter part Of last week by the
Aberdeen papers and citizens OF
that city generally. In fact, it
seemed that the admOntlOns so
freely given we're calculated to
make the ball teams Of Isabel and
Moblidge lose confidence in them
selves prior to the games.
Nevertheless, on Sunday after
noon, the Isabel players appeared
on their grounds at the appointed
time determined to do the best
they could in the face Of the
apparently general belief that they
we're not in the same class with
the Redmen's team. Without go
ing into any Of the particulars of
the game at Isabel, the boys of
that place had a walk-away with a
final score of 9 to II in their
favor.
On their return from Isabel the
Redmen's team stopped in this city
for a game with the local team
Monday afternoon. The game
started out with two scores for Mo-
bridge III the first inning and one
in the second. In the third the
Redmen evened the score and at
that time indications pointed to a
good game. But in the fourth
inning the visiting team went to
pieces and Mobridge scored eight
times. From that time on there
was nothing to the game at all but
a merry go round on the part
OF the Mobridge players while the
Redmen succeeded in securing two
more scores. 'rhe final result of
the game was a score of > to 16 in
favor of the local team.
The Redmen are fairly good
ball players but their errors came
at a critical time, which fact
coupled with a certain degree of
over confidence lost both games for
them. They were reminded of one
thing, and that was that sometimes
the size of a town has little or
nothing to do with the efficiency of
a baseball club.

new DIVICE TO
DISPOSE OF MAIL
Railway Nail Clerks Are Enthusias.
tic Over Proposed Labor
Saving Device.

! Aberdeen say that Ii Il new device
is adopted by railroads, 1t Will be
possible to dispose of a thousand
pounds of mail in a litIle over a
seconds time. The device is fol
the purpose of exchanging mall
between a train running at Jul
speed and a railway station with
out stopping the train.
The car equipment consists OF a
receiving arm or chute, according
to postoffice officials who have
been studying explanatory liter
ature devoted to tie mechanics OF
the new arrangement. The chute
is attached to the side of the car
door folded when not in use, SO that
it extends only about two inches
from the side Of the ear.
Running on rollers in a false
floor between the door Of the cal
is a steel delivery truck capable OF
handling more than 1000 pounds
of mail matter and arranged to
dump its contents upon a special
platform at an appointed spot "a
long the track.
Located at the side of the track
some distance from the receiving
platform is a trip which comes in
contact with its counterpart on the
mail ear as the train passes and
rings a go.g to notify the clerk
that a delivery is to be made.
If he wishes to skip that station
he touches a lever and the delivery
is avoided. Otherwise, if he has
not already done so, he places on
the tracks the bags to be delivered.
A worm gear attached to the middle
Of one Of the axles Of the mail car
runs a driving shaft provided with
a clutch which throws the mechan-
ism into gear when tripped. The
mechanism makes one revOlu-
ton and then automatically throws
itself out of gear.
The first quarter of the revOlu-
ton opens the door of the car; the
second quarter pushes out the de-
livery truck until it dumps the
mail and opens the receiving tube;
the third quarter pulls the delivery
truck back into the car and holds
the receiving chute in position
while the station cranes are passed
and the mail upon them is conduct
ed into the car, the fourth quarter
folds the receiver chute and closes
the door.
The operation Of the mechanism
being reduced to an exact mathe-
NAUTICAL basis of ratio, wherein a
movement Of one degree of its
revolution equals four feet OF
travel on the rails by the ear
wheels, the exchange must be
positive. An adjustment is pro.
vided to allow for the different
sizes of car wheels. Being geared
to the axle, the mechanism runs
fast, slow, forward or backward as
the car runs, and if for any reason
the car is stopped, and backed UP,
after passing a trip, and before
the exchange is completed, the
mechanism is turned backward
with it. When started forward a
gain, it should bear the same re.
latiOn to the car wheel as before.

No more will the romantic writer
picture such scenes, for, with the
continued and steady introduction
Of the telephone on railroad sys-
TENS for handling and controlling
the movements of trains, such con
ditiOns will be things of the past

the halo Of romance, with which
the night telegraph operator of the
plains and the wilderness has been
surrounded, fade before the re-
mOrseless advance Of the bright

ism.
The new order of things makes
it perfectly feasible to do away
with the night operator at the
isolated way stations. A Western
Electric Company railway special
list recently mentioned the fact that
one railway system, to which he
had recently sold telephone train
dispatching equipment, had done
just this thing and that each pas
senger and freight conductor has
been furnished with a so-called

from the hook, put himself in in
slant communication with the train
dispatcher at headquarters, receive
his orders verbally and go on his
way.
Not very romantic but surely
economical and highly efficient.
