business, had occasion recently to die:

A short time after>he had forwarded
the letter he received proposition

department with which he bad been
in dispute.
The first letter which ho found On
file ready to be answered was his own
on the point in question. There was
only one thing to do. He immedi'
ately dictated al answer to his own
letter, resating and repuoiating it's
arguments, and wound up by heated
iasinuation that the writer OF it was
an unmitigated donkey. OF course,
the letter was addressed to himself

RAILROAD TINE TABLES.
MUCH DEPENDS ON THE ACCURACY

Everybody is more Or less acquainted
with the general working Of the rail-
road business, but there are number
of details which, though of great i'm
Portance, are not quito so familiar.
The construction OF o railroad time
table may be taken as al example.

no composition that is more studied
and upon which more depends tlan
this little folded strip of paper with
It's apparently uninterestiug figures,
aud nearly everybody has wondered
AZ some time or other how the wonder
ful accuracy and harm oay OF the whole
have been attained.
Tho time table familiar to every
patron Of . railroad is not 60 all 6
complete one: for only e small pro-
portion Of the trains that are run on
any road are indicated upon ths folder
for distribution. There are many
trains running at all times that the
traveller knowns or cares nothing
about, but these, like tue passenger
trains. must have their scheduled rua-
ming time.
Every railroad division has special
time table for the use OF it's engineers
and trainmen, aud this consists of :.
large card OF perhaps four feet il
length and two iu width. Upon this
card is given all the Information ncces-
sary regarding the movements of every
engine and train, so arranged as to be
seen at q glance.
The work OF getting MP time table

the head OF every railroad division
there is passenger agent, who La:

should reach their destinations, aaa

There are many other incidents
which go to make up the naval day.
At sea, when the ships company is

greater than in port. 1t is during the

some friendly city, or when the ship

The purpose he has in view ii max
ing his time table is to arrange the
runs OF each engine and train on tae
road that there Will be 10 waste
Of time and II confusion. He knows
from his schedule received from the
passenger agent that certain train
must be given the right Of way over
ell other trains.
A train is to leave station A, for
example, at 1905 o'clock, to arrive as
station X at 4o'clock. The trainmas-
ter takes thread and tscks one end
Of it ia the space al the upper part OF

figures, 1906, and on a line with sta
ton A. The other end lie draws along

marked Y.
All intermediate stations touched
by the passing train are also desig-
mated by 4 tack placed in its appro.
pirate square. with the thread wound
around it, aud the result is in many
cases zigzag line, for She distances
between stations are often unequal
and besides a train will go faster on
one part Of the road than upon an
other by reason of grades, etc. This
same process is carried on with al the
other trains.
. Where trains have clear road the
trainmaster has simple enough job
Of it. His real hard work come IN
when trains meet each other, especial
II on single track roads. This must
be provided for in the time table, and
many weary hours are spent IN so
placing train that it may switch the
other to pass By. Having finished
with his passenger trains to his salts
faction, the maker of the time table
proceed to get his freights out Of the
way.
These present problem OF no mean
proportions. for on large road they
come and 60 every few minutes, an:l
somehow they must give way to the
express and other passenger trains.
Sometimes it requires days for the
traiunasser to ges all straight. The
times OF these fl eights, like the more
important passenger trains, are fixed
by means of strings, and when the
trainmaster is through the sheet LOOKS
like a piece Of crazy lace work.

and this time e1Put. his hand right on
them. Striking one, his horror was
increased. Before him stood q big
bear. At sight Of the light the bear
became frightened and went back to
the end of the boiler. Jake's first i'm
pulse was to draw his revolver and
fire, but he had fear that he might
miss the bear or not hit vital spot,
and so he kept his matches burning in
order to keep the bear at bay until he
could think out a plan of flight.
While this situation was at its most
strained point Jake's blood almost
froze in his brains, for the whirr Of a
rattIesnakc struck his ear. It was IN
the boiler, right in front Of him and
between him and the bear. The first
move was made by the bear through
the manhole.
This aroused Jake to his senses.

his wound.
