The con- signer had never shipped an ounce of froight in his life, and was duly excited about the performance, MUk for the Crew. The box oar was not right in front of the stock chute, 80 I told him to push It | there with' the ald of the pinch bar. This he refused to do, and insisted upon load- Ing ‘from the depot. He Improvised a bridge by laying boards from the platform to the edr, then fed the horse up the steps into the oar, I going before, coaxing the animal with an ear of corn. It has often been necessary for me to stand on boxes in order to seal cars, and 1 have moved empty cars with the ald of the pineh bar. There is littie work about & station that I have not done, even. to dodging hoboes, One evening the freight was coming down the line, running on a smooth stretch of track, when, without any apparent causs, three of the loaded cars were off the track, lylng on their sides.. These cars were loaded with shelled corn, so the spill may be easily pictured. The Conductor and brakemen were in the “lookout” at the time, and graphic- ally told me they found themselves at the other end of the caboose on thelr faces, but expected to be in paradise. The crew came to the statfon to report, and asked If I eould furnish them supper. My sister maid we could; but, when she| went to the fcechest to. see if there was| sufficlent milk and oream, she found the same condition that confronted Mother Hubard, One Lantern—Two Globes. The passing of a clrcus through our town at 3 o'clock in the morning from Platteville to Cedar Rapids, Ia., gave me my first experience in blocking trains. My station was not a regular train-order of- fice, consequently T had no semaphores or other devices with which to give signals, save one lantern and two globes, one red and one white. But these did the work satistactorlly.

Prices $8, $10, 313, SOUTH THEXAS, - Here 18 an entrancing story of the first 1000 per cent dlvidend aver declared by an Amertean' corporation This fabulous dividend was declared and distributed several months ago, but the item s news becauso this s the first an- nouncement of the transaction ever pub- lished. The officlals of the corporatiof in volved have been signifipantly negligent in the matter of furnishing information be- cause of modesty or other reasons, and it I8 only falr to state that! the story now told Is not by consent of inspiration of the (nsiders. The 1,00 per cent dividena was distrib- uted through the recent [neorporation of the §10,00000 Corporation of United Clgar Stores. Of tho $10,000000 of atock of tha new company $9,00,00 was exohanged for the $900,000 of common stock of the United Clgar Storee company, on & basis of ten for one. The holder of §i0,00 worth of United Clgar Stores company common stock of a few months ago exchanged hin \holdings for $100,000 worth of the stock of the Corporation of United Clgar Stores and thereby recelved a dlvidend of 100 per cent. When a stockholder gets ten shares of atock for each one share held the nat- ural Inference would be that the ten shares recelved without any additional payment on his part must necessarily represent an exorbitant injection of water and as a natural consequerce that the new stock re- celved would possess only a low and un- certain market value. This has not been | the case with the 1,00 per cent dividend | ot the Unfted Clgar Stores company, be- cause the new $10,000,000 {ssue of stock, is now guoted at 185 bid, offered at 30 and {an initial quarterly dividend of 1% per cent regular and one-half of 1 per cent ex- tra, or'at the rate of § per cent a year, has been declared payable on January 15 Hence this record-breaking dividend has the substantiality of both dividend returns and market value, and further, while from the standpoint of par value the distribution Was 1,000 per cent, If the present bld price in the market be taken into conslderation, the dividend was really 1,860 per cent. There have been dividends of 100 per cent, 200 per cent, 300 per cent and 500 per cent in the annals of Wall street.. In our issue of November 20 reference was made to the 200 per cent dlvidend of the Adams Express company. a fow ye and the recent 300 per cent dividend by the Wells Fargo company and the 50 per cent dividend ot the. Aluminum Company of America. A Y. Life Dnllfll' woo | Some Experiences with a Threill, Some Comical, Others on the Missour! Order — Some . Station Activities.

Selling tiokets and giving out information about trains-and things helps to ward off the tired feeling. The job Is the tralning sehool at the foot of the rall- road ladder, yet few eare to graduate there. Most men shy at it. Rarely does a woman tackle it. Fva M. Richards is an exception, She tackled the job and stayed with it long ensugh te gain some experi- ‘whieh relates in the Rallroad Magasine in part as follows: It had always been my ‘wish to he part of the great wheel of business. 1 had studied telegraphy a short time, and had had a short experience in station work, but when 1 was offered the position of station nt and telegraph operator at a small wiation on the Chicago & Northwestern rallway I promptly accepted. No queen on her throne was ever happler than I when I first wrote my name as agent for the company. And I pity him who has never felt the exhilaration of re- sponsibility. Dofng business over on own signature I8 quite a different matter from doing it over another's. But strength and courage are generally near us when we are in need of them, and they have never falled me. The station in which I was Installed as agent and operator was in a small town, but being the shipping point for a rich stock and agricultural district it was a busy point, and I soon becuno well ac- quainted.

Ofie or twice a week they sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mixture on the head and then brush the powder well through the hair. That is all there is to it, and they ‘have escaped the bother and dis- comfort that accompanies washing, rins- ing and drying the hair, together with the danger of catching cold. The wonderful results they achleve with therox convinces me that it is the only thing that can grow hair, for their hair is long and abundant in addition to being flutty and lustrous.—Adv. regular attendants at every fair. These old chaps usually: wear a bright tle, a rubber collar ‘large enough for two necks, o stitf hat on the side of the head, and ‘a ring bearing a stone the size of a quarter-of-a-dollar.: Their clothes are of ®oodly proportions and it the frame as if thrown at it. Thelr shoes are of & parfect| dust color. These captains of lelsure usually carry either a cane or whip. There was never a county fair without them. When they come straggling from the traln ‘at night, jt Is a different orowd. They are weary, worn and sometimes sad; they are dirty, crumpled and forlorn, but they have been to the county fair, seen the big pumpkin and bet en the races. It's Work We Love. To one unaccustomed te the elooklike routine of rallroad weork, the charm which attends it Is unknown, But one who has recefved a “G. N., or rellef from duty, who tunes his ear to the heavy whistle of an approaching traln or the resounding clang of the bell, fesls the irresistibllity of the charm. There is nothing more: welcome than a delayed train, one for which one has walted hours. The trains on the division on which I was employed were more often late than om time during the winter. De- spite the snow-fences which hugged the right-of-way, the snow would persist in filling the numerous cuts, making progress slow, sometimes {mpossible until the plows and flangers would make their missionary visits. At such times, the most welcome thing on the face of the earth was the train, and T held its engive In deep esteom, it ecame puffing In, its light plercing the gloaming, its long black plume of smoke waving In the keen air, its back blanketed with snow. and its flanks fringed with leleles. When it stopped It seemed to breathe heavily and then to sigh. Then with re- newed strength, with fits drivers silhou- stted In the red light of the open furnace, it snorted and moved on. Then I banked my fire for the night, reported the train, recelved “G. N." out out the wire, locked the door and hurried homip, tired and happy, until the dawn of another day. i Mesiln w&tfl' Ff Ce » The present agitation regard- ing the city's drinking water, by the. per- Land, five mluutu. for E 'nnnl-Albrorn ple 4 ce) - than l- n-thlnl heu Ilinots Central— rice, n \mn ‘l " is twfilq-flld &mfiia d hoarseness, bronomu-. ete. ake a pint of granulated edd ¥ p about warm_ water and s I feotly and the tnu is pleas The -chemical elements of p! hich are ve ealing to mem- ranes, obtain i Nigh tion in Pinex, the no-t val c centrated compound of Norwi o 1910, {5 publs toliowin Russell, & L RANCH-T% a !.!ms 'ine, well 1 roved reasons for sellin, P acre.
