LIFE OF A DEPOT AGENT
His Duties Are Manifold and He Is Envied by Few, According
 to This.

The life of a railway agent Is one of roses and cinders for the most part. Some folks think that about all he has to do Is to sell tickets and keep the extra cent when he makes odd change, but there are other things in the life of railway agent besides framing your face in a ticket office with a doorbell on 1t, and smiling when the folks ask him what time the :03 train will be here if it's on time.
 From early in the morning when he starts the day by looking into the coal bin at the end of the platform to see how much bitumlnous has been stolen during the night, until sundown, when he starts out to hang drug store signs on the switch posts, he Is an extremely busy man, says the Walker (Minn.) Pilot. Between checking over freight receipts and running the hay press for the carbon copies of waybillS, it's no wonder he hasn't time to build a fire in the waiting room or rub off last weeks train schedule from the black board, because he is q busy man.
 He listens to complaints with one ear and the telegraph keys with the other, and has been known to answer tho phone, sell q steamship ticket and put a bucket of coal in the stove all at the same time, in order to get his work done within the eight-hour schedule.
 About the only ones to envy an agent his job are the girls In the town, and that's because he has such good chance to get acquainted with the brakemeD on all the freights.

Patch Up TeIephone PoIes

The ever-increasing cost of lumber has led to the use of many devices to save wood. One of the most ingenious Is the method to save telephone poles, which rot at the base just above and below the surface of the ground. The upper portion remains sound for longer time than the base. A short pole, creosoted 50 as to withstand de- cay, Is placed in the ground beside the old pole and firmly fastened to 1t. This adds several years to the length of time the pole win serve. The arrange ment also serves as protection to pedestrians; for since the part buried rots long before the upper part, the fall might occur most unexpectedly.- Popular Science Monthly.

United States Food AdmInIstratIoN Seeks to Obtain Constant Use
 in America.

Washington.-The Irish potato on every table in America every day in the year is the object of campaign begun by the United States food ad- ministration. Grocers will be asked to inaugurate potato day" each week, selecting whatever day is slack in de- liveries, and making special price.
