THE FIRST
Old Conductor of Original Pullman
Now Lives i'm Kansas.

Bloomington, Ill, Nov. 20.-When
the first Pullman sleeping car was
out of the shops of the Chi
cago L Alton in Bloomington, am
ployes who had been engaged upon
the construction regarded it as a
joke. and they had considerable fun
at the expense of the struggling in
y%entor, George NJ. Pullman.
The first car has long since been
consigned to the junk heap, but the
first conductor, j. l.. N. Barnes, is
still living, his home being in Cha
mute, Kan. He recently retired as
division superintendent of the Santa
re railroad after ffty-six years of
service, beginning as conductor of
the first Pullman car. Mr.. Barnes re
calls that i'm 1856 he was a clerk in
a dry goods store in Chicago and
made his home with a family near
the office of Mr.. Pullman. On read
ing in the papers that Pullman was
building a sleeping car Barnes asked
him for a job as conductor and was
engaged.
The first Pullman was lighted by
candles and heated by oil stoves.
There was no carpet upon the floor.
The backs OF the seats were hinged
and TO make up the berth the porter
simply dropped the backs until they
| were level with the seats, and upon
them were placed a mattress and a
blanket; there were no sheets. The
upper berth was suspended from the
ceiling by ropes and pulleys and kept
raised during the day.
On the maiden trip between
| Bloomington and Chicago patrons
were charged $50. Mr.. Barnes re-
calls that he had some difficulty in
persuading the passengers to remove
their boots upon retiring. The first
ten months patronage was poor. In
those days not many could afford ia
pay the sleeper charge. Accordingly
Barnes was laid off and his duties in
trusted to the train conductor. Soon
however, business improved and
| Barnes was put on the job again
| More s%leepers were built and Pull
man speedily became a millionaire.
The first sleeper was stored in the
| shop yards at Bloomington for many
Years following its displacement by
improved cars. and it was a grear
curiosity. 1t had been rebuilt from
a day coach and contained but eigh'
berths-four upper and four lower

DOLLAR SALE
Merchants Of Clark Get Together for
a Benefit sale.

Clark, Nov. 2O.-At last the bust
cured the key to the situation. This
week a number of local merchants
got their heads together and held a
consultation with the idea in view of
promoting the mutual friendliness
between themselves and farmers who
make, or should make, this their
trading point. AS a result of this
timely conference, every merchant in
Clark got into the harness and
agreed to slice the profit off practic-
ally everything in stock during two
days, Nov. 81 and %. At this time
they will hold what is to be known
as the great dollar sales days. Mer-
chandise retailing up as high as "a
will be placed on the block and dis
posed Of to all corners. The event is
being extensively advertised, that all
farmers may know of the grand bar
gains to be obtained here, both news
papers containing four pages of spe-
cial advertising matter relative to the
event, in which a few of the money
saving offerings are enumerated. 1t
is believed that the people will ap-
preciate the opportunities offered on
these days and will make 1t a point
to be here in crowds. The cut rates
advertised will be only a small per-
centage of those to be obtained. The
farmer, especially. will be the king
! pin these days and will have an OPP
portunity not only of securing many
times the worth OF his money, but
also of meeting the business men of
Clark on their own stamping grounds
and at their best. People living in
the country are perhaps too apt to
think folks living in town are too
"uppish" about things in general and
that the farmers are not welcome,
forgetting. for the time, that the in
terests of agriculturists and town
people are identical. One cannot
live without the other. Were 1t not

Chinese or Enqlish7

We hear good deal nowadays about
spelling reform, but Sir William Ram
say believes it is pity that we did
not from the beginning adopt the chi
nese language instead OF our own!
The Chinese did not spell: they used
symbols which conveyed ideas. The
Chinese language had the great ad-
vantage that it could be read much
quicker than any spelled language. 1t
went straight from the symbol to the
brain as an idea.
Although he would not support the
adoption of a new alphabet on the
lines of the Chinese system, he felt
that it was pity that 5000 or 1000
years ago our ancestors did not adopt
the chinese system.
Outside of the scientists there will
not be many to deplore the choice of
the English language to that picto-
graphic affair the unhappy Chinese
scholars are afflicted with.

soften, the smaller stars, like little
children, went first TO rest; the sister
beams of the Pleiades soon melted

fguration went on. Hands of angels
hidden from mortal eyes shifted the
scenery of the heavens; the glortes
OF night dissolved into the glories of
the dawn. The blue sky now turned
more softly gray; the great watch
stars shut up their holy eyes; the east
began to kindle. Faint streaks of
purple soon blushed along the sky:
the celestial conclave was filled with
the inflowing tides OF the morrSng
light. which came pouring down from
above in one great ocean OF radiaLce,
till at length, as we reached the Blue
hills, flash of purple fire blazed out
from above the horizon and turned the

Wand That Puts to sleep,

The story Of the Sleeping Beauty,
particularly its eastern versions, has
been traced conjecturally, to hypnotic
practices. A wand or rod often ap-
pears in the eastern tales; placed un.
der the feet of the woman or man it
kills or sends to sleep (primitive folk
scarcely distinguish between sleep and
death), under the head it restores to
life or waking. Sometimes there are
two wands, silver and gold respective
ly. In Scandinavian versions Sleep
thorn takes the place of the wand. In
Ireland this appears as pin and
very possibly the sleep Of the hero
Inc OF Grimm's "Briar Rose" when the
spindle pricks her, is connected with
this. In the Arabian. story 1t is a
ring placed upon a finger that causes
slumber.
