OLD RAILROAD EMpLoYE RESIGNS.

Frederick s. Hagen has lately resigned his position in the carpenter and repair shops of the Boston and Albany railroad, closing a continuous service of nearly 45 years in the employ of the road. He went to work in the old repair shops of the road on this side of the river, Sep- tember 6, 1852, under Calvin Stebbins, who was for considerable time foreman of that department of he..work. MT Ha- zen worked for about two years on pas senger coaches, and then was put on to the carpenter work required for engines. For years he built cabs for the road for everything from passenger engines up to the heaviest old freight locomotive. He says there have been good many changes in the way that work was done since he learned his trade, but perhaps not so many as in the machinery and metal work of the engine. The cabs that are built to-day are nearly twice as large as those that used to fit the smaller en- zines of 30 and 40 years ago. MT Hazen worked under F. D. Adams and J. B. Weston until the shops were transferred across the river few years ago, when Albert c. Hayes assumed charge of the carpenter work. For the past few years there has been little engine-building, ,per- haps on account of the check given to railroad extension by the hard times, but MT Hazen has been kept busy at repair ing the woodwork of damaged engines, at which he has displayed considerable ingenuity. Springfield Republican MT Hagen is the father of Mrs Allison P. Smith. On his resignation the Boston S5 Albany corporation presented him with 8 check for years salary.

A great dry-goods store in Chicago
has recently established in its own
building a school where the employees
are given free instruction In common
and advanced branches of learning.
Under such fostering influences the
smallest cash-boy learns that intelli-
gence rules the world, and that an am
hilton for education is manly. Suppose
Ill business men should manifest the
spirit OF helpfulness here shown. Sup
pose, too, they avoided forcing the
wages of persons in their employ down
10 the last dollar under which employ
ment can be obtained. Suppose. also.
that wise, yet generous consideration
was shown in the payment OF wages.
Would employees then be restless and
resentful? The uneasy mischief-makers
would still be heard. They would
make trouble under any condition OF
life. But the entranged attitude of the
majority OF our employees toward en-
pl0yers would be modified.

A Puglllstic Earl.

London society is much interested
in an incident reported from bucks
in which the earl of Orkney, who
few years ago married Connie Gil
christ. was the principal figure. The
earl was walking out few days ago
with the countess pet dog and met
some roughs who had a bull terrier
which they set on the countess pet.
The earl called upon them to desist,
which they insultinyly refused to do,
whereupon he went for the biggest
of them in true pugilistic fashion. A
ring was formed. and there was hot
fight to a finish. The earl came off
victor, leaving his opponent in bat
tered and helpless condition. The
earl came out of the encounter al
most unmarked. He was heartily

The air was filled with smoke, and

There wasn't a man but what expected
to have his head knocked off by a
piece of shell, or to be cut in two by
a shovel blade, or at least to have the

But the fragments of shell all flew

The Process of Training Them Causes
Incredible Suffering.
The British Medical Journal has
turned its powerful pen against the
abuse of jockey making, and has
pointed out the damage done to many
constitutions by wasting" for races.
Few novelists have placed upon record
the life Of the stable boy who aspires
to become jockey, or have dealt ade-
quately with the privations, dangers
and temptations of his career. George
Moore deals briefly with the matter in
his powerful novel, Esther Waters"
but very much remains to be said. The
British Medical Journal sums up the
matter when it points out that very
few men are born jockeys-that is,
have small build, strong nerve and no
tendency to run to fat. The lad who
can ride we'll and use his brain as we'll
as his body may, and often does, make
weight just as his career with all it's
valuable chances is opening to him;
then to fit himself for the saddle his
sufferings are almost incredible.

CONSULTING A LAWYER.
Hated to BE Ungallxnt but He Wanted
Fair Play.


A lawyer in this city was waiting
idly in his Office for the election to pass
so that people might resume their per-
sonal wrangles once more, says the
Washington Star. He was so glad to
see the young man who entered the
room in hesitating way that he
showed it in his manner.
This isn't much of case" the
young man said. Il don't know wheth-
er | ought to ask you to busy yourself
with anything so small"
sometimes very lengthy and COM
plicated piece of litigation will arise
from a very trivial circumstance the
lawyer said, hopefully.
Il don't quite see how this affair,
could come into court: but you will
have to be the judge of any such ques-i
ton as that. Last summer ! made the
acquaintance of very charming girl.
l was away on vacation and had
nothing to do but row her around in
boat all day and teach her how to
pick out the consultations at night.

Hest being on earth, and she said she

and-oh, we'll it's the old story, and
there's no use in going over all the de-
tails OF romance that fickered out.
She doesn't speak to me when she
meets me on the street now and when
go to the house to call there is never
anybody at home
1T is very sad" the lawyer said
but l don't quite see what you want
me to do about it."
All that | desire from you for the
present is information. | have heard
OF breach Of promise cases where the
law is rigorous and answering in
maintaining feminine rights
The law tries to be thorough in
that respect"
well, it seems there ought to be two
sides to every question. I'm not pro-
testing against anything that tends to
discourage gay Lothario. The law Is
all right on that point. And l don't
mean to imply that a girl hasn't a
right to change her mind if she feels
so disposed. But what l wanted to
know is this: Can man be consid-
cred legally and morally Tilted unless
the girl has returned the SIS engage
ment ring he gave her when they
pliGhted their troth?"
