Some of (he G. II. boys were relating:
an interesting incident which occurred
to three of their friends sometime ago.
Augustine Smith is the same of a
charade" who does odd jobs around
the round house and yard office. He
came to El Paso with the grading gang
of the G. n. & S. A. road and has been
In the service of that company ever
since lie rather enjoys the privilege
of bcintr independent of all bosses
around the shops but he is accommo-
dating In the extreme. Augustine as
he is familiarly called ba always been
suspected of having hidden wealth.
He has always made fair wages and
while he drinks to excess It ! said by
those who are supposed to know that
liquor costs him but very little.
When he indulges in a "spree"
he borrows five or ten cents here and
there and In this manner continues
drunk for several days at a time. On
one particular occasion three of the
shop men concluded tint they were co-
lng to have soma fun with him. They
decided upon entering his room after
night overpowering him and if pos-
sible compel him to tell where he was
hiding his money. Their approach
on Augustine's mansion was heard by
him and be oooly went to work to give
the intruders a warm reception.
He watched their success in
opening the door of his
residence and when they had succeed-
ed in gaining an entrance Augustine
quickly shut the door behind them and
begin active work with a c ub. The
would be robbers took in the situation
at a glance and their pleadings were
loud and pitiful. Augustine being a
tender-hearted creature spared the
heads of the intruders and allowed
them to deport with a portion of life
still left In them. 1 hey departed rap-
idly as ignorant of the whereabouts of
Augutlno's wealth as before they en-
tered the house.

Mexican Central railway who have

ful than ever; while away he visited
his old home Wichita drank the
waters at Excelsior Springs Mo. and
then went to Colorado for his family.
He did not go on a business trip strict-
ly speaking though he did incidental
ly accomplish considerable in that
line. Mr. Lewis Kinsrman the chief
engineer of the Central came back on

compelled to walk to town. Just how
he happened to fall he himself is not
able to tell. Sam Gal lad ay a G. H.

cleared up and the young champion not
only wins the twig of laurel but the
woman be rvo.

ind worry. It can always hoi depend-
ed Dton and is pleasant to take. for
sale by all druggists.
