Ten of the fifteen crows favor the proposition, the opposition coming from the younger conductors who through an'nssignment would fall heir to the less desirable runs A Chicago dispatch dated Wednes day said: "Mediation between ninety eight western railroads and their 55,000 engineers and firemen over wages and working conditions has tak en a more hopeful turn, It was said today.

He had butted eerything into immediate flight, from the yellow dog to the tax collector. The day the first express came tearing in at thirty miles an hour, the goat met the engine "half way.'' As the deacon stood thoughtfully amid a "shower of goat remnants" a friend said: "Well, deacon, what do you think of your goat now? "Oh" said the deacon, "I admire his courage but damn his judgment."
