that he should prefer in all official appointments maimed veterans of the war, but that law is not obeyed. I got an

The Erie railroad has issued an order to their brakomcn forbidding their Hlrting, and given instructions to the conductors to see that the order bo strictly kept. The brakeineu think it a terrible imposition that they, who are naturally born mashers, are not permitted to admire pretty girls. They "say that tho girls fall In love with them on account of the many dangers they paf through. But the worst of it is, the conductors are allowed to flirt as much a they please, thus I'oifVfiiing litem into u tegular bloated ariitoiracy.
