Oeorgo Whlto , employed nt the Burlington
Height depot In this city , Is a man possessed
of u remarkable memory , n talent which Is
valuable to him In the particular work he
las to do. He cnmo from Lincoln. While
working In the yards nt the latter place ho
was under a man who had but ono arm.
This phjslcal deficiency made It difficult for
the agent to note the letters and numbers
on the cars In his yard and ho cultivated a
memory to assist him In the work. This
save nn Idea to White , and being possessed
of strong retentive faculties naturally It
did not require much of an effort to train
his mind in the direction of remembering
cars.
cars.A
A short tlmo ago o train of thirty cars was
loaded with stock nt the distillery and the
agent hero sent White down to take the let
ters and numbers pn the cars that the rec
ords might bo mndo out and ready for the
trainmen when they came to the freight
ofllce. White departed and In an Incredibly
short tlmo ho was back and began calling off
the letters and numbers to the clilef clerk.
As there were cars of seven different roads
In the train the agent was not Impressed
with the reliability of White's verbal report.
When the test came , hcjvcver , It was found
that every letter and number had been re
ported correctly.
Mr. White's present duties are the notify
ing of shippers of the arrival of consign
ments of freight nnd Issuing switching or
ders for the cars. If a shipper telephones
nn Inquiry regarding a particular car ot
freight it is said that Whlto furnishes nil
the particulars offhand , giving kind of car ,
number and Its present whereabouts In the
jurdfa. The officials under whom Whlto is
working say ho is the best man In this par
ticular In the west.

Frisky old John Merry of LaPlattc , Neb ,
does credit to his name It the story related
by himself Is true. He Is a tiller of the
soil of Sarpy county and came to the city
late Sunday evening to visit a friend out at
Florence. Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock as
ho was walking down South Ninth street
n woman called to him from the doorway at
No. 103 nnd asked him to come In nnd buy
some beer for her. Although 70 years of
age , the old man says he likes to watch the
sprightly notions of the painted sex , so he
concluded this was his opportunity. Ho
bought the beer nnd tnlked to the woman
for a time. When ho departed he discovered
that $7 of his cash had grown wings for
the purpose of making a miraculous disap
pearance Ho went to the station and filed
n complaint against the woman , as ho
wanted his cash returned to him.

Since their first appearance nt the Orpheum

The subtle character delineation of Mr.
Felix Morris In "Tho Vagabond. " which he
is now presenting at the Orpheum , approaches
preaches the very highest rench of dramatic
art. The theme of the Tittle piece Is rlfo
with pathos. Its central figure Is an old

Missionary Ridge , but who lives to make
a gieat sacrifice for the sake of his beautiful
daughter. On Thursday , Friday and Satur-
