Chauncey Depew, president of the New
York Central. in conversation with a num-
Der of railroad officials and business men,
paid the following truthful tribute to John
Newell; the late president of the Lake
cent specimen of physical strength and
mental vigor. He was one of the ablest
railway men this country has ever known.
He knew everything necessary for a great
career except how to take care of himself.
He could neither rest nor enjoy it. He
had several warnings, but they were un-
Needed. 1t was for him work, work, work,
days and night. at his house, at bis office,
at his hotel, and in his car. Three times
came the warning, then the too brief rest,
and return to his old ways, until finally,
promise, he drops at his desk as if struck
by a rifle bullet. The game is not worth
the sacrifice and can be PLAYED with more
we serve by occasionally laying down the
cards and taking healthfuf dralghts q,
fresh air and enjoying Gods opportunities. .
