It is generally understood that Whel
a person goes to learn trade he Is the
butt of the jokes of all the older
hands The greatest joke heard of for
some time has just been reported. A
new brakeman was put on train to
be shown the business by the old
brakemen. 1t was a passenger train
and the fellow. who was about the
most verdant specimen ever put on a
train, came round in a new suit and
nicely dressed about the neck. When
the train passed a freight this new
brakeman was told to go on the rear
platform and hold the oil can down on
the track to prevent the freight from
catching the passenger. He went out
and leaned over the platform for many
miles When the terminal was reached
the poor fellow was a sight, and not
until he walked in among a crowd OF
trainmcn did he realize that he had
been made the victim Of joke.

And in the dusk our weary sails come

Into the dark steals off the bark. let us
