MISS LIZZIE E. ID. THAYER.
This is q Part of What the "sun" Sal,
About Her,

The New London Northern Railroad
extends from New London, Conn, to
Brattleboro, VT, distance of 12l miles.
Not mile of the entire road is double
tracked. The road is leased by the Cen
tral Vermont. IL deos a big freight bust
ness, connecting with the 500 lines, the
Canadian Pacific, the Canadian Atlantic,
and the Erie Despatch,
There are forty-eight regular trains on
the time table and any numbe of extra
one
All these trains are moved by telegraph.
They have regular passing places arranged
for them In the time table, bnt something
is likely To come up almost any time
which will prevent them from reaching n
point according TO the card.
In cases like these the train dispatcher
telegraphs instructions. These instruc-
tions are explicit, and the trainmen fol-
low them blindly, whether they know
they are running on another trains time
or not.
From o'clock in the morning until 6
o'clock i'm the evening. Miss Thayer sits in
front Of the telegraph instruments in her
New London ofice, practically keeping
the entire length OF the road OF l22 miles
from getting cloggcd up.
She keeps one of the telegraph wires
hot with train orders and instructions to
conductors in regard to the work nt the
many stations. She side tracks freight
trains 10 let passengers" whiz by, or,
perchance she side-tracks passenger
train for few minutes 10 prevent a
freight. loaded with pcrishable stock,
from getting laid OUT
She regulates the speed Of the trains,
makes the passing points, and decides
whether 10 will be best TO delay an express
train ten minutes TO save fast perishable
freight from losing an hour.
Her decisions have TO be made instantly:
and once given can rarely be changed. As
long as the trainmeu follow her directions.
she Is responsible for everything. The
minute a train crowded with passengers
begins It's trip every passengers life Is
practically In this little woman's hands.
II was never intended that Miss Thayer
should be- the train dispatcher OF the New
London Northern railroad. She had been
a train despatcl er's assistant for nearly a
year, and he resigned.
There was no one else to take his place,

An inexpensive Crib Spread.

The elaborate and easily injured cradle
and crib spreads cf satin and lace, while
elegant and snowy, are less useful for
everyday service than the pretty and mex
pensive durets of cheese cloth. These may
be made the width of the goods-one yard
and yard and a quarter long A single
layer of cotton batting placed between two
thicknesses of the cheese cloth secures
warmth without sacrificing lightness
The edges of the cloth are joined by n
feather stitching of bright worsted, and

ceed so cents.

New Probate Judge.

In few days Probate Judge R. w. Cross
will retire from the Office which he has so
efficiently filed during the last two years.
His commission expired a few days ago,
and President Harrison, thinking a Re-
publican should officiate, appointed Mr. A.
G. Bishop. Judge Cross has won hosts of
friends during the the time he held the po-
siIion of probate Judge in this city. He has
the reputation of being kind and accommo.
dating to all, and especially to newspaper
representatives. Whether he was busy OF
not, he would always meet them with
pleasure and assist them all he could in
giving items of news. The Judge will con
tinue to make Ogden his home, but has not
decided as to what business he will en-
gage in.

sIsTER,s CAKE.


I'd not complain Of Sister Jane, for she was good
and kind,
Combining with rare comeliness distinctive gifts
Nay, I'll admit it were most fit that, worn by so
cial cares,
She'd crave change from parlor life to that be-
low the stairs,
And that, eschewing needlework and music, she
should take
Herself to the substantial art Of manufacturing
cake
At breakfast, then, it would befsl that Sister
Jane would say:
Mother, if you have got the things, I'll make
some cake today
Poor mother'd cast timid glance at father, like

But neither she nor he presumed to signify dis

The kitchnn table was relieved Of everything, to

That ample space which Jane required when she
compounded cake.
And oh! the busting here and there, the flying
