A London wholesale house provi
sion house, which prides itself on fill
ing u!l orders correctly, received a
letter (rein a provincial customer re
cently complaining bitterly of the
very poor quality of the last two lots
of eggs supplied.
The reputation of the house for
never making an error seemed to be
at stake, but the bright mind of the
junior partner found a way out of it.
He wrote:
"Gentleman: We are sorry to hear
that our consignment did not suit
you; there was, however, no mis
take on our part. We have
looked up your original order
and find that it reads as follows:
'Rush fifty boxes of eggs. We want
them bad." "Tit-Bits.

"Yes," he asserted. "And the

"Yes?" she said in the same In

"If you need the flour and have no
money we'll get you a sack. Hut

A violinist who gives concerts
throughout the west was bitterly dis
appointed with the account of his re
cital printed In a country newspaper.
"I told you three or four times,"
complained the musician to the own
er of the paper, "that the instrument
1 used was a genuine Stradivanub,
and in his story there was not a word
about It, not a word." Whereupon
the owner said, with a laugh: "That

As a train was gelling up steam to
leave a certain station, it suddenly
parted in the middle. Of course, the
communication cord broke and one
end of it struck an old lady, who was
standing on the platform, in the face.
"Goodness me," she gasped in as
tonishment. "What was that?"
"The train has broken in two, mad
am," said the gentleman who stood
nearby.
"And V should think so," said the
old lady indignantly, as she eyed the
broken cord. "Did they really think
that a piece of string like ili-.U puld
hold a train together."
An Englishmen was walking along
one of the principal thoroughfares of
Washington and saw a curly-haired
old negro putting coal in one of the
cellars of the government buildings.
The negro worked away iudustrously
"What is your name?" asked the in
terested tourist at length. The ne
gro bowed in a pleasant way. "My
name's George Washington sub, at
your service." "Washington, Wash
ington," muttered the Englishman,
musingly. "It seems to me I have
heard the name before." "Shoudn't
wonder, sah," replied the negro, in a
delighted tone. "I've been here do-

ten years."

A Definition.
A priest was showing off his class
and proceeded to ask one little boy
in the presence of the archbishop:
"What is matrimony?"
The little boy's eyes bulged out at
the suddenness with which the ques
tion was put, and then he said me
chanically: "Matrimony is a state
of punishment to which some 30uls
are condemed, to suffer for a while
before they are considered good e-
nough to go to heaven."
"Tut, tut," said the priest. "That
is the definition for purgat ry."

A National Institution
' Why, sir, the Union may be preserved from dismember
ment by this proposed railroad." Joseph R. Underwood in
the United States Senate, February 19, 1853.
"The road has been built through an Indian country with
all the tribes banded together and hostile." General G. AfJ
Dodge in Congress, 1868.
p OR half a century
and more ever since
the first locomotive poked hi
nose west of the Missouri River
this railroad has worked con
tinuously for the development
of the territory which it serves,
and for the improvement of
the property. Hundreds of
thousands of. dollars are spent
every year in telling the people
of the East about the wonder
ful opportunities of the West.
Prosperous cities and towns,
thriving industries and fertile
farms mark fifty years of nota
ble progress. The Union Pa
cific System .has led among
western railroads in keeping
its lines at the highest standard;
whether business is good or
bad, adequate provision is al
ways made for maintenance of
the Boulevard of Steel which
links the East with the West.
The Union Pacific System has
also been first with practically
every device which makes for
security and comfort of travel
ers and for safety and expedi
tion in the passage of freight.
Success has justified this
policy of efficiency, but the
full measure of success has
been attained only by the con
fidence and support of the
people who live in the Union
Pacific country, and to them
this advertisement is directed
in a spirit of grateful apprecia
tion. The Union Pacific Sys
tem is proud of its territory and
of the people who live in its
territory, and in turn is worthy
of the pride with which it is re
garded by the people it serves
as a great national institution.
