The conductor on an east bound freigh t
last Tuesday , concluded to try raising his
own pork , and as several small pigs were
feeding near the track he got down from the

C. H. Harman , assistant superintendent of
the Burlington at Denver , has changed places
withE. F. Highland , assistant superintend
ent at Holyoke , the duties of each will be
the same as before. The reason for the
change is that Mr. Harman's family has not
been healthy here and he had to change to a
more favorable ocation , so it was arranged
for him to exchange with Mr. Highland.
Mr. Highland has been with the Burlington
ten years , and is a thoroughly experienced
and competent man. The work of the office
in Denver will go on under him as if no
change had been made. Tuesday's Denver

absent , that is cowardly. " Likewise. THE
TRIBUNE would suggest , speak no evil of the
present : you might get licked.
Never say "railroad depot. " Call it "sta
tion. " "Depot" is a place where goods are
stored or kept. The place where passengers
assemble to get on and off trains is a' 'station. "
[ t is not good form to call it "depot. "
One thing of Noah must be said
Nor will the truth be strained
Without a doubt he knew enough
To go In when it rained.
The latest thing out among the aimless
young men in some of our neighboring towns
a what are called "penny walks. " Every cor
ner they come to they toss up a cent and if
t comes down "heads" they turn to the right
and if "tails" to the left. The game is kept up
until they return to the original point of
starting. Ex.
