MADE THE RAILWAY SETTLE
Farmer Didn't OFTEN Get Chance to
Soak Railroad Company, So He
eraeped Opportunity.

Chief Clerk Caldwell Of the state
bureau of inspection was at one time a
district claim agent for one Of the rail-
roads of the state. He was sent out to
inspect cattle guard where a COW
had been killed. The owner said the
cow was crossing the guard and was
killed on the railroad right of way,
while the engineer of the train that
killed the animal said the accident
had occurred on the highway cross
ing.
II took with me from a station near
by blacksmith and a farmer as wit
nesses," said Caldwell, expecting to
pay them two dollars each for their
time and trouble, the customary price.
1t took half an hour to make our
inspection, and when we returned to
the village l asked the blacksmith
what l should pay him.
"'Well,' he said, I value my time in
my shop at 80 cents an hour, and l
have been gone half an hour. You
owe me Is cents
"The farmer looked at the black
smith in contempt.

SO easy as that he declared. "Tain't
often US farmers git o chance to git
even with railroad, an they're al
ways browbeatin' us. No, you can't
settle with me fer Is cents
Then, how much do you wantT
I asked, wondering what kind of a
Tartar / had caught.
"Well, you gotta pay me what I
want, or don't go to no court
Il told him was perfectly willing
to pay him his price if it was within
reason, and asked him again to name
It.
BY gosh, you owe me a quarter
an won't take durn cent less was
the ultimatum.
I gave each Of them a quarter, and

WOULD BUILD ROAD TO MOON
Total Trackage Of the United States
ls $4,000 Miles-Ralls Weigh
100000 Tens.

The trackage Of the United States,
$4,000 miles, would build railroad
from the earth to the moon, and
100000 miles beyond, or 1873 trans
continental railroads.
The rails Of the $4,000 miles of
our tracks weigh approximately 49,
100000 tons, and would counterbal-
ance the weight Of three-fourths Of
the people Of the earth. There are
enough to form eighty-two steel roads
with which to skewer the earth.
To hold the rails to the ties, in
round numbers, thirty times as many
spikes are necessary, 00,000,000, as
the number of stars which even the
keen lens and the sensitive film of the
camera have been able to reveal. The
cost Of these spikes alone Is approx.

For each family in the United States
the railroads ship seventy-fivo tons an
nually: this is equal to one ton being
