w. H. GREEN.
W. II. 0ItI1I14Ns
He has been employed in the B. & O..
for so wears

He has been employed in the B. & o.
for so years.
hearty old man, with keen, undimmed
eyes, and a springy step that has been
in the continuous employ of the COM
pany for so years and is still better
than many men half his age.
w. H. Green is his name, but every
body on the line calls him Captain
Harry" and he has a record that any
man, in any station in life, would be
more than proud of.
Captain Green is probably the old
est passenger conductor in the world.
If he is not he has the best record, for
not once has he been suspended from
duty for any cause whatever. And
then, too, he has never been injured.
Green was born on September II, 1927,
in Cockeysville, Baltimore county, Md,
and entered the B. & o. service March
promoted in two years to freight con-
ductor and in 1857 was given pas
senger train and has served in that
capacity ever since. He is now run
ming through trains between Baltimore
and Cumberland, Md, and wears ten
service stripes on his right arm.
For many years b. & o. train en-
ployes have had an enviable reputa-
ton for politeness to passengers and
attention to duty, and the adoption of
the service stripe system will give the
travelling public an opportunity to rec
ognize long and faithful service.

Only naturalists and biologists
know how near to each other animal
and plant life can come. Even to
these students the dividing line is
something hazy. The inhabitants of
St Lucia have lately discovered a
most wonderful plant. 1t grows in a
cavern, in an immense basin of brack-
ish water that has overlooked from the
sea. The bottom basin is covered with
pebbles and each pebble with from one
to FIVE of these plants, which, for want
of better name, are termed animal
Howers. These curious creatures,
which are in all shades of color. re-
mind one OF beautiful flower bed.

the Seventh corps, later going to Ha-
vana, where he remained till the corps
was disbanded. Capt McGrath left
San Francisco for Manila on May % to
rejoin the Fourth Cavalry and arrived
there about June 80.
Capt. McGrath was married at Sa-

Miss Mary Carson of Eau Claire. A
son has been born to them.

at was at Calamba," said Prof. Wor
cester. IAN important town in Laguna
de Bay, that was taken by Lawton.
While the troops were in front of this
town and in the face of hot and
furious fire from the Filipinos, it was
found necessary to cross stream that
was swelled with recent rains until it
was difficult to get over. There were
neither boats nor RATS, but on the OPP
posite side and directly under the ri
fies of the Filipinos were two canoes.
AT that juncture the hero revealed
himself in the person of Capt. McGrath
of the Fourth cavalry. He did not
wait for orders, nor did he call for
volunteers. He stripped and plunged
into the whirling stream and came
back in half an hour later with two
canoes. There were some bullet holes
in the canoes by the time he got across
with them, but they were made to
serve the purpose Of transporting a
skirmishing party across the stream,
and the trench was taken. 1t was the
most daring thing ! ever witnessed,
and / believe the most daring action
that has come to my notice"

Glasgow is certainly in bad way,
says the London Daily News. No few

week end, through persons going to bed
helplessly drunk and being found dead

been withheld owing to there being
only two superintendent, and drunk

This means a loss of 100000 govern
