with Barnuin's for 16 Years.
Henry Smith, the crossing tender Mt
Harvey station, on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, had peculiar sue
cession of employment. When boy
he was an apprentice to brass spinner
in New York, but one day he ran away
and joined Barnum's Circus. Other
boys who have run away to become
circus men have as rule come back o
day or two later. Not SO Smith.
He stayed with the circus for 16
years, finally attaining the job of a
boss. He had many experiences in
those years of activity in all sections
of the country. Then rheumatism
attacked him and the vigor of circus
life became somewhat of q burden.
So he gave up his place 10 years ago
and ever since has been the Waterman
at Harvey station. The contrast be-
tween his old life of hurry and hustle
and his present life is very pronounced
although Mr.. Smith himself appears
not to worry over the change. He
formerly lived here but his home is
now at Boothwyn.
