Th. man with money Is facing the prob

ordinary civil servic. adapted to spjctol

basis f'r grading th. men, augmented or
UimlnUhed by merit..
It works. ,
Th. Burlington Ral!roud and the Omaha
Ptreet Railway companies are trying to or
ganise their men under a similar eystem,
excepting ahlch. I believe, the stuck yards

If th. men at th. stork yards wer. to

holding it for two and three days. The rate

Th. pandemonium that would ensue If
th. experienced men were to quit can only
be conceived by riding over the forty acres
of shads that are tilled every morning with
thousands of bleating sheep, each trying
to get to som. place else; with thousands
of crated cattla watching for the chance
to tampcle; with double as many pig.

and high-priced animals; each individual

Pastoa Ksplala HI Plaa.
Ten year ago J. L. Pax ton, the super
intendent of the yards, began working out
his system. He hit been adjusting and
supplementing It ever since. It is very
close to his heart. Though Mr. Paxtoa is
a southerner there may ba truth In th
statement a big cattl. feeder made of him,
remarking with a laugh, "Well, If you
weren't born here, th. wast baa mada you
and knocked the nonsense out of you."
While the cars, soon after daylight, were
emptying th thousands of cattle and sheep
and hogs Into th alley and pens of the
yard, Mr. Paxton explained th working
of civil service, pointing out different men
as examples.
W. rod. through a band of huddling
sheep and dismounted to go. Into a seal,
room. Another band was crowded Into
the seal. pen. When th. door opened
after weighing, th. sheep refused to move
on and glv. place. They huddled and
looked In wonder at th. driver waving hi
arms like angel's wings, dancing up and
down and crying, "sh. sh. sh!" with all
his might.
"Tak. on by th head and pull him out."
th counter, Tom, called.
Tb driver, a newly come Scotch lad,
Obeyed Th. sheep started so suddenly In
th. same direction th. Isd cam. near
learning a. much about momentum snd
gravity and the brick floor aa about sheep
s thy streamed through th. gat. In a
thin lln. past th counter.
"On. hundred and eighty-four," ' th.
counter railed.
"Go huudied sad lhUr-UM," tb en
trance counter bawled back as positive aa
the second counter.
"It's on hundred and eighty-four, Tom,"
Mr. Paxton said; "my count Is th. name as
yours."
"Stop that band and count over," Tom
bawled down the alley.'
"One hundred and eighty-four," some
one bawled back from the alley In a few
minutes.
"Course I knew we wer. right, Mr. Pax
ton, but I can't take chances on count
ing here." Tom half apologised as ws rod
on.
Civil Service Made Him.
"New that rs a man whom civil service
has made," Mr. Paxton said. "It has con
verted him Into one of the most depend
able men of the place. When I began ex
amining the men for the first grading h
waanlitled to one of the best places on
his seniority. Ills record, though, was so'
full of complaints for carelessness and
reprimands that he was down for dis
charge. When the man cam. up I liked
his looks. He Is a big. strong chap with
a good face and I knew h. had a family
of boys and If he were discharged he
would likely go down hill Instead of up.
With him out of work his children would
become dependent.
" Tom,' I said, 'you are down for pro
motion. Tou can hav. gat. two-twelve"
"The man looked at me aa If he thought
I had suddenly gon. off.
" 'Mr he asked.
" 'Why not, you have been her. fiv. years
snd that la th. place your length of seYvIc
her. gives you. Tou ought to know all
about the business by this time.'
" "I can't count sheep,' he replied.
" 'Why not'
" 1 never thought I'd get a chance, here,
to get ahead any. The other fellow was
always going ahead of m. I can't count
sheep, but I'll learn now If I ran hav th
I Job when I'm ready fur It, can If '
"I told him that any time b came to
ma and said he could count th sheep at
two-twelve he could take th place.
"He buckled down to learning to count
sheep, and when he said h. waa ready I
put him on, though It was one of th. most
particular places In th. yarda. I knew
something would hav. to wake him up.
The promotion did It, so that h. haa been
going up ever since with good wages and
hi boys r.r in school doing well. Thai's
his oldest boy down with those cattl now,
and he's the kind f boy I am looking for.
Yes, civil service haa made Tom, and as
you saw he won't tak chances on a m la
count." I remarked that th men all took off
their hats and said "good morning."
"Don't think the men are taking off their
hats to roe," Mr. Paxton said. "I would
discharge a man If h did It. Why should
he? They are taking off their hat to
yoo."
W stopped to look at som particularly
fine white-faced rattle that had Just been
sold to a packing house buyer for a fancy
prlc. The stock yard men wer weighing
and counting them for. delivery from th.
commission man to th buyer. An old
negro waa keeping tally. Th commission
man and buyer, on horseback, wer doing
the same, scrutinising each animaL
"Sam." Mr. Paxton said, by way of In
troduction a the men on horseback rode
away, "Sam, th lady says the cattla ought
to be washed."
"Ban, ban, a ban for dem catties! Well
I ain't applyan for d. situation," and the
old man doubled up with chuckle to sud
denly untangle himself and say, "Now
don't think dem cattle isn't clean. Day Is,
for dey hide la too thick for anything to
perpertrat."
Th ol negro, who was a slav belonging
to Mr. Paxton' father, followed him her
and haa found hi evade "d oong.nl
work with recognition under civil aervlca
at th stock yards.
A red facod little Irishman with a boy's
laugh and a .peculator's eye was looking
over a bunch of hogs that had waited
three day for a buyer and deserved to
wait longer. The owner, a lingering man
with untrlmmed hair, snatched up th poor
price offered by the Irishman. Any animal
that can be turned into meat will sell at
the yards. '
"I'll tak 'cm If you clear right out so
nobody'll know they belong to you," the
buyer stipulated "I'll fix them up so
nobody will know they are a bunch with a
black eye."
Th seller hid th money In hla clothes
and vanished with as much evident will
ingness a the buyer stipulated. The
Hibernian turned the bunch over to a tall
boy. with the order to "fill 'em up on corfT
and water them" while h. bargained with
another owner for a bunch to "mak sorta"
with the last purchase.
His of a Mess. aver.
"That's on. of th few good boys I lost,"
Mr. Paxton ald, meaning the boy "filling
up" the speculator's bunch. "I lost him.
He was a messenger boy, and a sharp little
chap, too. He had been around the yards
some, but h did not take much stock In
any on not directly employed by us; but
he did a good deal of running for that
speculator, who Is one of the heavy dealers
her. On day he happened to meet the
dealer down In Omaha. Tb dealer was
not wearing hla high top boot and he was
dressed up, much to the messenger boy'
surprise.
" "Why. Jimmie, when did you put on
long pants?" he asked, and th dealer was
so tickled over It that be gave tb. boy s
good Job on Mi spot and a treat, though
th boy could not digest his wonder that
'Jimml' was not a boy Ilk himself, but a
dealer."
We WaUiieU Jiiuuil hurtlii another
boy away with a telegram to his New
York agent and wer. ahortly engulfed In a
drov. of hogs that an overseer was taking
from one pen to another.
"Notice that man," Mr. Paxton said. "He
U another civil service illustration. He
was up for, promotion, but was stuck be
cause h. could not read and write. No, he
doea not look It. I sunt for him to come' to
my office.
"'Well, CGrady. what r we going to
do about It?' I asked him.
'I was thinking that if you would writ,
down th. name and som figures I could
get onto th curve. My wife say she'll
help.' he told me. '
"I wrote out what h wanted and ha took
th paper away HI wire has kpt him
at It ever sine and he has learned to
read snd writ fairly well.
Ploy Nu Favorites.
Th system absolutely doe away with,
favoritism. Every new man has to lake
his place at th. bottom and he knows he
must work up and learn th. bualness as
h. goes.
"I am perfectly willing th. men sliould
organise." Mr. Pax Ion said "They mutt
must organise or they would be swamjed
by commercialism. Last summer when
we wer. driven the hardest a walking
delegate came to in. and abked permission
to organise th. men. I told lilm to go
ahead, and If the men could prove to me
there la any way of making things bi t

or less fair treatment than any other cur.
porallon gives, I want them to come and
tell me so. There ui not much encour,
ageroent of th. delegate from our 'men,
bwaus each man Is sure of his Job; i.
knows he will go ahead as fast as the
places open above him; that If h. fa airk
