Haunted.

AS I sit at fall of evening,
Musing fore the open fire,
'Joying thoughts as light and fitting
AS the blazes of the pyre,
Lo! appears to me figure
Standing in the Pickering light,
And I say in trembling accents:
Art thou come again tonight?
Speak! who art thou? what thine errand!s
Answer comes without delay:
I'm Jim Brown, the tailor's son, sir:
Here's that bill. Pa wants his pay!'

CHANCES ON A RAILROAD.
One Field In Which the Right Young
Man Is Pretty Certain to
Get Along.

enough to master the details of rail-
roading," said railroad superintend-
ent, to New York Sun man, "are in
demand every day in the week in our
business. No young man in this bust
ness need get discouraged if he has
ability and industry enough to get
next to the good things.
'The trouble with most of our ap-
plicants is that they have tried half
dozen other callings before they at
tempt to break into roilroading. Fail
ure is bad thing for young man; it
destroys his nerve, and if it is encoun-
tered three or four times in succession,
it is pretty near ruinous. We get
plenty of these fellows without nerve
and they don't last long. This leads to
constant changes in the personnel of
the operating departments, but no.
where else is the sitting so rapid and so
certain.
"Engineers and firemen are recruit
ed from below, but our higher class en-
gineers, our salaried clerks who have
something more TO do than to be mere
recorders, our future superintendent,
must come from educated men. West
ern railroads constantly absorb the
supply of high class mechanics turned
out by the practical departments of
the big universities out that way, but
the supply isn't equal to the demand.

who attend college delve into the clas-

the wearing, for part of the time, of
overalls and the exercise of the mus
cles about bench.
: 'Outside of the college youths with
practical education there is room in
plenty in the railroad business for
honest, bright and active young men
who can absorb the myriad matters
connected with the railroad, so that we
may recruit from their ranks the
agents, the trainmasters, the aids to
the chiefs of departments and similar
places that pay larger salaries than
two-thirds of the doctors, lawyers and
educators can hope to get. Every rail-
road manager is on the lookout for
men who can acceptably fill the higher
places in the service, and the supply is

Webster City, Oct. 9.-Four escaped
reform school inmates from the boys
state school at Eldora were captured
yesterday at harrisburg, a small town
| just east of this city. AS q result Of
their capture and resulting complica-
tons the mayor and constable of Blafrs-
burg and three other citizens are now
under arrest.
The harrisburg authorities captured
the boys about o'clock in the morning.
Not knowing, however, wher, they were
from, instead Of arresting them and
locking them up they simply set them at
work and kept watch over them until
something further should develop. Con-
stable Little, of this city, happened thru
the town. Seeing the boys he at once
knew by their uniforms that they be-
longed in Eldora. He went to q tele-
phone and got the particulars, regarding
the boys and learned that q reward OF
SO per boy and the expense OF their
return to the reform school was offered.
He at once-as he says-placed the boys
under arrest. BY this time rhe BIairs-
burg authorities had learned that a re-
ward was offered. Wishing themselves
to get this reward they refused Little
possession of the boys. They claimed
they had first made the capture and ar
rest. Little then came at once to this
city and procured warrants for the arr
rest of Mayor McVicker, Constable Van
Buskirk and three other harrisburg citi-
zens for having resisted an officer when
they refused him possession az the boys.
The harrisburg officers. in order to get
to Eldora before the warrants could be
served upon them. put the boys in q
buggy and drove fifty miles across the
country to Eldora. Arriving there they
came face to face with the Webster City
officers, who had gone by rail. with war
rants Tor their arrest. Bonds were
given and trial set for next Tuesday. A
furore of excitement about harrisburg
has been created over the affair. The
penalty for the offense is q fine Of not
less than $50 nor more than $1,000 or inn
prisonment not exceeding one year.
