The Curious Reason For which n

The Curious Reason For which n
Train Was Side Tracked.
In the rarefied atmosphere of the
high tablelands of Mexico objects that
are really a long way off appear to be
close at hand. This has led to many
ludicrous mistakes on the part Of tour
lists, and even on the part of those hav-
ing a knowledge of the popularity of
the country.
The Mexican Central railroad has a
tangent (section Of track in which
there is no curve) that is said to be the
longest In the world. 1t is over 60
miles in length, and a locomotive head
light can be seen, of course, for a very
long distance.
One evening a train rounded the
curve approaching this tangent, and
as 1t entered on the straight track its
brakes suddenly began to grind. 1t
soon came to a standstill, and the con-
ductor, fearing that an accident had
befallen the engine, hurried forward,
and was shown by the engineer a light
track directly ahead.
"a headlight, sure" the engineer
said. Must be an extra and the dis
patchers have overlooked it, for orders
do not mention it,"
"Guess you are right" the conductor
replied, "but l never knew the dis
patchers to be so careless before. Any
where but on this tangent there would
have been a collision and somebody
killed. We'd better move ahead slowly
to the next side track. We can't tell just
how near that train may be, and we
will wait for it to pass US there"
They reached the side track in safety,
and, drawing in on it, awaited the
coming of the other train. Half an
hour passed, and the engineer was
Tuning, wondering how much lorger
he vas to be delayed, when the con-
ductor called him to step out to the
main line.
what do you think of that head
light, nowp' he asked, when the engi-
neer had Joined him. Seems to have
got clear up and off the road"

passed from this life. He was only

been a straightforward, upright ct

reliability and made himself liked
by everybody. He was strong in
physique and ought to have achiev-
ed considerable success in the world
but for his untimely taking off, not
yet 30 years of age.

the private secretary of a cabinet Off

was my duty to stave all the callers
off the secretary. 1 do that often, but
when the assistant secretaries are here
they help a great deal.

thought l owned the whole place and
walked away without remonstrance or
without saying that their business was
very important and they were sure
they would be seer if l would just take
their names to the secretary.
when l wore an average looking
business suit, which might look just a
little bit shabby, the callers didn't pay
much attention to what l said. 1t was
more difficult than you can imagine to
get them to go away. They would find
all kinds Of excuses to remain and to
