Hard ON Railroad Engineers.

/ A"These fast trains have played the
mischief with engineers" said railroad
man. 1T Is fact that almost daily you
hear of ono of these royal knights Of tho
lever suffering from a paralytic stroke.
The rapid time made puts every e Igineer
ION such q strain that is is only Z ques-
tion of a few months until the nervous
system collapses. remember seeing the
statement some time ago, and ! do not
doubt its truth, that there is train run
ming from st. Paul to Saltwater, on the
Omaha, that is called the hospital train,
ifor every man who runs with it has either
had stroke of paralysis or has been in
Itured in some way or other. But in this
lightning speed, on railroads and in bust
mess alike, suppose little heed is given
ito these poor fellows who drop by the
lwayside, in reality victims of the greed
lof their fellow man. - Chicago Tribune
