How a Yankee railroad man once

western Kansas and signally failed Il
related by \ pioneer of Pawnee county.
Early settlers remember that for
miles you could see white polished
belt on every telegraph pole where buf-
faloes had polished their shaggy hide
when tormented by bufhN gnats. ]
was told that many poles were broken
by the vast army Of scratching ami
mails. A certain railroad official who
lived III Boston, where the shoes were
made, bought all the pegging avis on
the market and had the section men
drive them Into the posts until they
looked like giant cactuses. The herds
came and saw and conquered. They
fought for first place Mt the poles and
tickled their NANCY hides with the
avis, which were broken by the Joyful
bulls that still scratched on the rem
nants until the poles fell. Needless to
shy. the remaining avis were with
drawn from service at once.-Kansas
