The ENGINEER 4, . POPULAR Hero.

stories OF adventures o. the rail, OF the
hcroism of engineers aud hrcmcn, the gallaLtry
and bravery Of conductors, the thrilling cs-
capcs from death Of brakemen, and OF the
many supcrstitOns Of railroad men regarding
their dangerous calling, constitute a form of
literature entirely peculiar 10 the last NIFTY
years Of the nineteenth century as the develop
ment of steam itself The engineers position
as popular hero and rOmancer seems assured.
The newspaper reporter apparently never tires
of stories of the grimy drivers affection for
the pundCrous machine which be controls, of
his half belief that there IS something almost
human in n fayOrite locomotive, and OF his
yarns about being chased by a phantom engine,
and miraculous escapes from an immediate
and horrible death. Perhaps next In popularl-
~ is the ilreman's always exciting accounts OF
how hc crawled out on the cOwCatchcr of his
engine and snatched from the rails golden
haired lovely baby just In the very nick OF
time 10 save IL from being crushed beneath the
great wheels. How We all admire him for II,
and feel as thankful for his hcroism as the
horror-stricken mother who Is invariably n
helpless witness OF her darllng's danger and
who lfants away when she sees him safe in
the arms of the fireman.
Knights of the cab We honor you and feel
sure that beneath many an oil.stained blouse
beats more chiyalric and courageous heart
than did beneath the bullet proof armor of
many q knight who IN days OF old boldly lei
his unprotected soldiers where the leaden hail
fell thickest. But we ask hearing for the
train-dcspatcher. If his position i, not hcdg
ed around with danger ii IS at least one II
great responsibility and Importance and he
merits attention. Mr. William Blair, the train
dispatcher on the Detroit, Grand Haven aud
Milwaukee Railroad NJ Detroit, tells this good
story OF a not altogether pleasant experience
of his.
For about fifteen years ! have been an al
most constant sufferer from neuralgia which
often united ne for my duties and made life
burden. The strain on my nerves was so
great that nearly lost tic use of one OF my
eyes. ! never succeeded in getting ANYTHING

lief until began using Athlophoros. \ lew
