One well known oflleer Is one of the most enthusiastic of tho checker cham pions, and may bo found any time, when he is at leisure, thoughtfully pou deiillg over a checker board. L-ist nip.ht, while playing, he made a romaik which was rather unique, and whether tho worthy ollicer Intended It as a Joke or it-ally meant It is a matter of con jecture. He was playing his eighth or ninth game, and was deliberating over the method In which he could take three of his opponent's men without losing any of his own, while his reveries were pu ctu.ited. every now und then. by no howls und noise produced by a drunken prisoner in one of the cells. This in dividual furthermore kept up a coase-le-s pounding on the door and was making matters exceedingly lively, when at last the ollicer rose and le marked disgustedly: "Say, it you can't behave yourself in there, why we'll Just put you out, see!" Tho prisoner, however, did not see Just what great punishment uccrued to the freeing of him from his "dungeon dark" and kept up such a racket that at last tho two checker players quitted the uanio In disgust.

When u debilitated car of low capacity or unequipped with air brakes rattled past It was branded as con demned, and. If empty, was shunted off 011 the side track built to be a last refuge for the doomed cars. This pro cess continued for months till tho cars, averaging thirty feet In length, reached a total length of seven miles. This dis tance was ascertained by local statis ticians who, In tho interests of rail road history, pedalled their bicycles ulong tho line and measured It with their cyclometers. These cars are humpbacked, sway backed and contorted In every conceiv able way, but they still hold them selves erect with a kind of melancholy dignity. They havo had careers vary ing from eight to twelve years and since their building a score of changes havo taken place In car construction. Their capacity Is often as low as 18,000 pounds, whereas the modern car Is from 40,000 to 60,000 pound3 capacity.
