The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-05-19

L had little talk, the other day,
with a lady whose fortune it was to
tramp about from house to house try
ing to sell books. Certain words of
sympathy for the hardships connected
with the life of a book agent brought
from her beautiful and voluntary
tribute to the southern people, which
went to the heart of her listener. 81
wish you could know how kind and
considerare the people are to me! The
north is m. country, but l assure you
/ wouldn't dare to canvass for books
there. A canvasser can scarcely get
into home, through the army of SER
wants; and even when he can gain &C.
cess to the people, every face is repel-
liant, and every answer is cutting
and severe. But here the people are
so courteous! OF all the people in
the world, these are the kindest. No
body in my own country can compare
with them ~ And the Home Corner
listened with delight to this unselfish
praise of a people whose homes, wheth-
er wide or narrow, are always open to
the claims Of hospitality; and whose
hearts and purses always respond to
the calls of restitution and distress.

The tremendous responsibility resting Upon
tralnmen of every grade is never overesti-
mated. The engine driver may be truly said
to carry the lives of passengers in the hollow
of the hand that is eternally grasping the
lever. But the conductor. the train dis
patcher, the brak akeman--in fact, all who have
TO do with the moving of the railroad trains
form chain of safety a single link in which
may not lie broken without imminent danger
of a frightful tragedy.
The recent terrible disaster on the New
York Central railroad was directly due to the
neglect of duty by the brakeman sent back
10 warn coming train. From the ranks of
the brakemen the conductors generally are
drawn, and the road exercising the create 81
care in the selection of its rakemen, usually
enjoys freedom from fatal blunders on their
part. OF the railroads entering Providence
none Is noted for more rigid selection of its
men, and enforcement of its regulations, than
the Worcester division of the New York,
Providence and Boston, The simple fact
service on this line Is pretty good evidence
that he is both competent and faithful.
William Evans of No "a Conant street, Paw
tucket, has been in the employ of the Wor-
cester railroad for about eight years and has
for the last two years been a brakeman in the
passenger passenger service l between Providence a and
well known in that city and along the line he
daily travels. He is essentially modest
ogng and ana the modest reporter Who b
port rait for use at the top of this sketch.
