LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS AND FlRtMes



Their Great Responsibilities and the oualInca-
lions Necessary for the Calling
A writer to the Cincinnati Times-Star
pays the following tribute to ''the men in
the cab:
Although the love of excitement may
influence some who seek the position of
a locomotive engineer, yet it is not so
with all the responsibilities assumed.
The dangers and exposures to be encoun-
tered deserve more generous recogni-
ton than they generally receive. Their
Importance Is scarcely recognized. and
their labor and risks seldom full appre-
ciated, yet noble sense of duty and a
heroic sentiment of self-denial is and
must be the impelling cause for follow
ing so dangerous a profession. Every
fireman who aspires to the position of
locomotive engineer has to remember
that his calling is a dignified one, and
must acquaint himself fully on all points
pertaining to an engine, and also be of a
good moral. temperate character. The
following natural qualifications are
necessary to insure him success as n
knight of the throttle:
The power Of long continued and
unwearied attention. that he may he
able to watch the road and his engine
without the slightest reloxntion dnriny
the longest possible trip.
,. Endurance. both OF mind and bodv
which in case of accidents and delays is
often tested TO the utmost. No man ensilv
worn out has any business running n
locomotive.
,. Sharpness of sight. power of distin-
puishinp colors of SIGNALS sonndnass of
hearing. and generally that perfeotion
of the senses which enables one TO oh
serve accurately objects at a distance.
:. Energy, decision and presence of

or life. or many lives. in the course of
his service.
,. Akin to the above is alertness of
mind, which makes men alive TO the
slightest occurrences within reach of
their senses, and Is often strikinply de-
veloped in hunters and men having
charge of sentres and outposts i'm time of
war. Fremen possessing the above
qualifications are ALWAYS selected for
promotion TO the position of engineer.

their attention is respectfully called TO

outline of the way it works is this:
You take your bait and throw it into
the water, The line is attached by a
switch to magnet When the fish
bites the line switches the current of
electricity into the magnet and the
magnet pulls pin out of slot. This
causes a long lever to fly up and hangs
the fish. As soon as he is hooked
bell starts ringing and continues until
you take the fish off the line. You can
arrange the machine so that it can be
put at the head of your bed and the
ringing of the bell will awaken you.
Of course you must be near the river.

How Toomns Carried the Vote.

Col. Nat Hammond said the othel

to me by Judge Lawson Black, during

powers and extravagantly exclaimed,
Suppose the very day this came up the
Legislature should be drunk?' An OBJ
ponent asked. Can the gentleman con-
eeiye of such thing happenings As
quick as thought Judge Black arose
and stated that such thing not only
could happen, but actually did happen,
and that he was in the Legislature when
it occurred.
He then explained that before the
war, when the Trezevant claim was be-
fore the House, the lobbyists for the
claim had given big wine supper, at
which the whole House was present.
They had imbibed very freely and were
all drunk. General Toombs opposed
the claim. At the night session the
vote was taken, and the House roared
Yes. General TOombs almost alone.
