"Bill Blue of Number Two" the en-
gineer who made a rhymed report Of
an accident, reminds a correspondent
of q freight conductor who dropped
into poetry when his own train was in
trouble.
Number Eight" is the fastest east
bound train on one of the great trunk
lines. Nothing is more annoying to the
authorities of the road than to have this
train delayed, even for five minutes,
by inferior trains. But it happened
that it was once detained for fifteen
minutes ut Friendship, New York-a
little town on the Allegheny division
by a west-bound freight.
The delay was of course reported by
the conductor Of Number Eight to the
superintendent at Hornellsville, and
the superintendent Immediately tele-
graphed the guilty freight conductor,
asking why the flyer" had been de-
tanned. The freight conductor, a wag
with turn for rhyme, sent back the
following reply:
The wind was high; the steam was low;
The train was heavy and hard to tow,
The coal was poor, twas mostly slate
Hence the detention of Number Eight.
But the conductors poem did not
save him from doing penance-ten
days off duty, without pay.-Youth's

Getting Round a Difficulty

ran. The frontier line between Turkey
and Persia was so undetinable that Il
tract of no less than seventeen miles of
land over which the telegraph would
have to he carried was in dispute, each
of the two countries claiming the right
to its possession.
Now, the engineering stores which
our Government supplied to the Turk
ish Government differed from those
supplied to the Persian Government
The former had wooden telegraph
poles, the latter iron ones.
The Persian Government, in their
Jealous hatred of the Turks, feared that
if wooden poles We're erected across the
disputed territory, posterity would re-
gard them as proof that the territory
was Turkish. On the other hand, the
Turks objected to iron poles being used
lest in the far future they should be
adduced by Persia as evidence that the
land was hers.
The way Sir Frederick cOntrived to
get out of the difficulty did credit to
his ingenuity and resource. He set up
first wooden pole, then an iron one
then another wooden, then an iron
again, and SO on-alternating wood and
iron-for the seventeen miles.

That Colonel Titus Bark Supported

They were speaking OF successful

There Is man who has made Il great
deal of money" commented one of the
party, "but he has been absolutely no

seriously whether he has ever spent
one penny ON anybody, except the men,

couldn't avoid supporting" Il think
you do Bark an injustice" replied an
other in the group. Men of his stamp
are often strangely generous in secret
and take the greatest pains to hide
their good deeds from the world. They
seem to find bitter pleasure In being
misunderstood. In this particular
case could cite you to an old man in
New Orleans whom Colonel Bark has
quietly supported for a number OF
years, and feel pretty certain that he
has never mentioned the matter to
living soul. It's an old fellow who
used to know his father, and what
