ENGINEERS.
How Little Things on the Road Give
Them n Scare.


wonder what was the first, instan-
tancous sensation Of that Canadian
engineer who ran down Jumbo in the
fog. Probably no engineer ever had q
stranger shock: but shocks. strange
and otherwise. are the portion of every
man who stands at a locomotive throt-
tie. He must get used to them and
stand them as best he can--or find some
occupation with less nervous strain to
it. Most Of them in the business get
hardened to the unexpected. which is
always happening on the rails.
one of the worst starts ! ever had
was due to a large lazy pig who had
got on my mind. Nothing will slide
a train more easily and destructively
from the rails than live pork. This
particular specimen had habit of
burrowing alongside the track. and it
was a fair presumption that sooner or
later he would find something to in
terest him between the rails, and some
body would go down the bank.
l was coming down hill one day at
high speed. and craning my neck for n
comforting sight Of piggy in his accus-
toned place. when. as I popped around
the curve. a bright red flag assaulted
my anxious gaze. The connection be-
tween that flag and the pig was only a
bit of mental alteration on my part,
but 1t was very vivid.
I shut off and grabbed the whistle
cord. but before I could even screech
for brakes I saw that the flag was only
n red flannel shirt, which the good
woman Of the shanty to which the pig
belonged had hung on an improvsed
clOthesline between the telegraph poles.
That may not sound like much of a
scare. but it represents type that
turns the railroad mans hair to a deli
cate ash color.
Railroad men have supplemented the
rules with additions of their own, for
the sake of convenience. and to ex-
Dedite the work. When a man is sent
OFT to flag he gets instructions. Per-
haps he is told to let all regular trains
pass. but to hold everything else: then
he understands that his conductor will
have his train in the siding when those
trains arrive.

"Macaulay, the historian, had a friend

lose what you have got,

robbers who usually get together on sun

added to our stock a full and complete
outfit that enables us to manufacture
our own line of patent medicines. In
order to get these preparations before the
people, we wish to tell you how they are
made. Nothing but the best and purest

every bottle and box put with our name
on it is guaranteed to eqnal any patent
medicine on the market.
These preparations are compounded
by Registered Pharmacists who are fully
protected by the law to manufacture
such goods. Our formulas are the best
that can be procured, and for these rea-
sons and many others we claim that few
patent medicines equal and none excel
our own manufactured goods.
