fashion to run syndicate sermons
from some Of the double-barrelled

glazing likker ads. Any editor
who will be guilty of such moral

MISTER TRAIN L

Say, honey, was you ever in
the waiting room of a big city
depot? And did you notice the
Teller that comes in every few
minutes and makes a pretense of
calling the trains?!' That is, he
is supposed to be telling the
crowd what train is getting ready
to start, so they can grab their
bundles and crawl on.
But you might listen all day
and you never could guess what
the old fool was trying to do. The
average person would be apt to
think he was a Mexican greaser
choaked on dog:liver and trying
to cuss the railroad in the Chinese
language.
There he stands with his bay
window stuck out like a bump on
a tree, and bellers like a bull calf
lost from it's NANNY, and if you
had to be hung or understand a
single word of that bellering, I
wouldn't give much for your
neck.
Icould tie a bullfrog to a stick
and poke him in at the window,
and he could "call trains" a
blamed sight better than some
fellers I've heard try it.
It seems that the only qualifi-
cation the railroads require in a
train callers is that he must
have a voice like dragging a raw
hide over a tin roof, and if he
should happen to speak a word so
that anybody could understand
it, he would lose his job.
If you don't think I'm telling
the truth, you just take notice
the next time you go to a city.
And if you find a train caller in
America that you can understand
one word out of fifty, please send
me his name and a lock Of his
hair.

PERKINS, PROFIT AND PUKE.

Here is a great joke. The Uni
ted States Steel Company has
adopted what it calls a profit
sharing plan and is going to give
its wage-slaves just a tiny speck Of
its billion-dollar profits.
"The men will appreciate it,
said George w. Perkins,, head of
the steel trust. IF we act in good
faith, we will be willing to take the
men into our confidence, for they
will be our partners. This profit
sharing plan puts an incentive on
individual initiative, and it will get
the best there is in the men. The
oretically it is right-practically it
must be-"
Oh, he-haW! haw! haw! haw !
For the Lords sake, do come and
rub my tummy. I am just about
to die with pure tickledness.
Law, yes, Perk, that is a great
thought you have thunk out with
your little thinkeratus. To open
up your old dough-bag and let the
men who created your great
wealth get just a tiny smell of what
they have created-that will work
wonders. 1t will be a great incen-
tive to individual effort, and will
cause the men to do their best.
Oh, yes! Sure!
But hold on there, Perk! It
seems sorter like [ read in n OF
the plute papers t'other day some
thing about how dangerous it is
to give the workers too much OF
what they produce. If you give
the laborer the full value of what
he produces-that is, if you give
him ALL the prohts-it will de-
stroy his incentive to work and fill
the land with idlers and deadbeats
You must give labor just enough
OF its own earnings to sorter half
way keep soul and body together
and you millionaires pocket the
rest.
Now we r getting down tc
facts. We are going to Learn
something pretty soon. The light
is beginning to dawn. Now it is
all as plain as a bug in your soup
Give the wage-slaves just a smell
Of the profits and they will work
better. But give them enough tt
do some good-enough to keef
them from going ragged and hun
gry-and it will cause the dowr
fall of the nation.
Fry a meat-skin and hold it un-
der a mans nose, and he will work
his fool CUTS out to get it; but
spread a feast of good things be.
fore him and it destroys all his "in-
c%entive" to eat and he just lies
down and goes to sleep.
I say, Perk, that is a great idea
Why don't you and the rest Of the
plutes get a patent on it?
And that's what tickles me so.
Haw! haw! haw!
Durn a fool!

few years ago and the wise ones
had several strings to their bow
But it's different now. The,
Wrights and others have made
turnpike roads all through the air.
Cook and Peary have pulled up
the North Pole by the roots and
brought it home to fight over.
And SO the wise fools are about
out Of soap-grease. And while.
they are resting on their laurels,
and waiting for a better job they
will amuse themselves and the
world by throwing a suspension
bridge across the dark waters of
the River Styx.
The pioneers in the spirit bust
ness have been assuring us ALI
along that there was something do
ing in their line. They have been.
advertising ready-made spooks,
printed on deckle-edge imagina-
ton and bound in purple moon--
shine, and guaranteed to produce
that creepy feeling or money re-
funded. But the world at large
didn't seem especially interested
until the late William T. Stead
brought out his spiritual fiddle and
begun to saw like two niggers a
cutting cord-wood. Since then the
public has been sitting up and TAX
ing notice. and we are promised
that pretty soon they will pull
aside the veil that hangs between
and give us a view of the Other
Side.
1t was on the ill-fated steamer
Titanic that Mr.. Stead set sail for
the spirit world. But before 60
ing he had already received a reg
1stered letter and several post
cards from Over There. And he
had also made an agreement with
some of his spiritualistic friends
that as soon as he got landed and
got his wings on straight he would
send a message back to those left
behind. And now they claim that
the message has been received-in
tact, several messages. | have
had the pleasure of reading n or
two. But the things I am most
anxious to know about how thew
do business over on the other side
are the very things that Mr.. Stead
never mentions. He never saws 4
blessed thing about how the
weather is in that country, and
what they have to eat, and whether
they wear any clothes or not. He
never speaks of God nor Christ.
neither does he state whether his
place OF abode is heaven or hell.
or some place between.
And SO, with all due resnect for
the learned lei who are enoi-
neering the scheme, it strikes me
that the bridge they are building
across the river of death is a little
bit Wobbly and uncertain. IF all
the messages that come from the
spirit world are as indefinite as
MI. Stead's, I don't see how thew
are going to throw much light on
anything. It's all sorter like =

SAINT ANONYMOUS.

oAA0C AA44A IA1O11 way w lily uC0h.
1T is a very rare thing that a
week passes without bringing me
at least one long-winded riga
ma-role from some irresponsible
crank who, having no business of
his own, has felt himself divinely
called to poke his nasty nose into
my business.
The latest curiosity of this
kind has just hove in from
Chesterville, Texas, and the self
righteous goodikin who wrote it
was so deeply interested in telling
me what an awful sinner I was
that he plum forgot to sign his
name. There is something very
strange about these fellers who
take it upon themselves to re
FORM me and The Fool-Killer,
anyhow. Nearly every doggon
one Of them ''forgets" to sign
his name.
My cowardly, white-livered
friend in Texas goes on at
great length bemoaning my lost
and undone condition, and the
terribly wicked things that I
print in The Fool Killer. He even
offers to strike a theatrical pose
before high heaven and reel off a
few hanks of prayer" in my
behalf. My stars alive, Saint
Anonymous, you certainly are a
jimdandy. If you had half sense
you would know that God has no
respect for a coward, and how
can you expect Him to answer
the prayers of a coward? Instead
of praying for me, you had better
get down in the dust and send up
a few for your own miserable
soul, If you are enough related to
the human race to possess such
perishable property.
Saint Anonymous says I have
been knocking God'' in some of
the articles have printed. But
he lies, and he knows that he
lies, every time he says it. He
probably has reference to some
thing | have said about the Pope
of Rome and his gang, and he is
probably one of the gang and re-
CARDS the pope as God. But to
those of us who are intelligent
enough to know that the pope is
merely an egotistical old impost-
er, and that Romanism is not
Christianity at all, the things I
have said about these frauds
seem very mild indeed.
Saint Anonymous claims to be
a Methodist, but the way he
squeals when I step on the pope's
toe is pretty good evidence that
he is a loyal pappycrat. If not
actually one of them, he is one of
their defenders, and a man that
loves the smell of carrion could
eat it all right.

MUST FURNISH PROPER CARS.

y Washington dispatch states that
the interstate commerce commissi, u
Monday held that where perishable
freight moved regularly and in suf-
iicient volume to justify the install
lation of special equipment in cars,
such as stoves and linings to pre-
vent shipments from freezing, this
special service should be furnished
by carriers.
We believe this decision ON the
part of the commission should have
some effect on the railroads in this
section furnishing proper cars for
the shipment of potatoes especially
Last year many were forced to use
common box cars in order To ship
this product, and in so doing were
compelled to release the railroad
company from any damage occa-
stoned by their freezing. Not only
this, but they were charged the
same rates as refrigerator service
Much complaint has been filed with
the commission on this account and
it is not improbable that their action
on Monday was partially the result
of this. At any rate, if the inten-
tions of the commission are carried
out there is every indication that
the service this year will he vastly
improved.
