This Operator Used to Get Sleepy and Had
the Locomotive Wake Him.

fhis Operator Used to Get Sleepy and Had
the Locomotive Wake Him.
Operators who keep lonely vigil at
night in little out of the way railway
stations lead lives which are anything
but enviable. The usual hours are from
z p. Ii. until "a. m, and how those 10
weary hours drag only a man having
had experience knows.
On most railroads a night man at
way stations must report to the dis
patcher's Office by wire as often as once
an hour in order that the dispatcher
may know that sleep has not overcome
the senses of the lonely ''owl." Now
this very necessary thing-sleep-is the
most bitter enemy the ''owl'' has to
contend with, but the manner in which
he INDUCES it is sometimes amusing, to
say the least.
All sorts of contrivances to serve as
an ''eye opener" are conceived by the
knights of the key, hut the ingenious
ness of q man who "a few years ago
"held DOWN a night station OH the
Fitchburg road caps the climax.
From the time of his first taking the
position he was the source of more an
noyance to the dispatcher because of
his little ''nNps" than all the other op-
orators combined. So after having been
"hauled over the GOALS innumerable
times and the promise that the next
offense meant dismissal Mr.. 'Owl'' be-
gan to think.
Taking a stout cord and fastening it
to the outeE rail of the track in front of
his window, he ran it through o hole
into the office. Then perching himself
upon a table he tied the cord around his
waist, closed his eyes and slept ON with
ont q care for the morrow.
When the first train came bowling
into the station, the cowcatcher of the
engine came in contact with the cord at
tached to the rail, and Mr.. OWL sud-
denly found himself lying ON the floor
wide awake.
By this method he was always ON
hand to report the arrival and departure
of trains, and the dispatcher in Boston
wondered how 1t was that Mr.. Owl
had become SO prompt, -Telegraphers'
