The car department of the S. /. M
was shot to pieces a few weeks age
by an order reducing the forces. Dur
ing the past few days an order was
received to put quite a few of the
boys back on the roll. Mr.. ]. j.
Thomas, Jr., the superintendent of
motive power, with headquarters in
Mobile, Ala, was here the past week
and told of the dearth II business
and only wished for return of such
business that he might send the glad

AS a traveller awaiting his tram
at the NJ & o. station stood and
watched the train crews break up the
cuts of cars that were brought over
by the consolidated yard engine, that
had arrived over the Southern, he
passed a remark down the line that
struck a popular chord: "This thing
of buying your coal early is economy.
Just look at that magnificent lump
coal; several cars, the choicest kind,
not particle of dust or Stag, and it
is here for the Columbus coal deal
ers."
The death of Engineer James Man
gum during the week came as great
shock to his numerous friends. He
had lived in the city for many years,
worked as city employee at one time,
but the lure of the rail took him back
to railroad life, and at the time of
his death he was yard engineer on
the S. l. NJ. A wife that stood by
him in this city, a noble little woman,
was left to mourn with numerous
friends that he made during his life
time

SOLDIER OF FORTUNE PASSES

K 1t shall now come to pass. as 1t well may. that there shall be an end put to wars. the old-time soldier of fortune will become an extinct spe- cies.
 The world. of course, can get along very we'll without him, and yet he will be missed. For he Is & very ancient institution. indeed. He was with Alex ander and Caesar. Napoleon. the cap tains and the kings of every nation un- der the sun wherever there was a knife to stick or a bullet to shoot.
 Slowly but surely, however. the ground has been cut from under the feet of the soldier of fortune. and now 1t seems that. at last. he is to dis appear completely.
 He had good time, though, while it lasted. and 1t did last long time. at that. For there was always, some where. job waiting for him. If things went stale on the Spanish Main, he could cross over to the other side Of the world and find another banner un- der which to fight.
 IT was all the same to him. which side he fought with or against. He had no enmities. no hatreds: he had no grudge to satisfy. Ills business was fighting. The doubloOn of Spain looked just as good to him as the sov- ereign of England or tho yen of Ja- pan.

MARTYR HELD IN REVERENCE
St. catharine Occupies Exalted Posi. tion in the Calendar of the
 Roman Catholic Church.

Among the earlier dates of the Ro- man Catholic calendar St. Catherine holds an exalted position. both from rank and intellectual abilities. Dur ing persecution instituted by Emperor MaXimus II, St. Catharine was mar tyred, the tyrant reserving more cruel punishment for her than any of the rest of his victims. She was placed in q machine, composed of four wheels. connected and armed with spikes so that the victim would he torn to pieces as they revolved. A miracle. it is said, prevented the com pletion of this project, as a flash of lightning severed the chords with which she was tied. shattering the en. zine and killing the executioners MaXimus ordered that she be carried beyond the walls of the city; Scourged and beheaded. From the circum- stances relating to the wheel, the we'll known circular window in eccleSiaS- tical architecture is known as Cath arine-wheel. and also firewOrk of the same name. This st. Catharine, who lived in the fourth century, is not to be confOunded with the equally cele- brated St. Catharinc of Sienna, who lived ten centuries later.

To Get Cash From Bank Vaults.

An ambitious young yeggman once approached a famous safe cracker in the penitentisry where both were so Journing. The young man was about to leave prison and wanted to know 8 sure method of getting money from a banks vault.
 "Go," said the famous safeblower '-to your home town. Get jOh. Visit the bank every Saturday evening and deposit small amount of your week s wages. Thus you will gain the conf dence of the bank officials and people iu general. Get better job as soon as you can. Continue your weekly visits. In time you1I find yourself universally trusted"

The Mexican war of 1S46 lasted
 nearly two years. The first actual col
 lision and bloodshed was on April 25

 troops that had crossed the Rio Grande

 the facts and grievances, and said:
 "As war exists, and, notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid 1t, exists by the act of Mexico herself, we are called upon by every consideration of duty and patriotism to vindicate with de cison the honor, the rights and the interests of our country" During 1S46 the battle of Palo Alto was fought, May 8; battle. of Monterey.
