TuNXEY. THE ENeINEER.
the Man Who Broke the Record FO
the West shore Road.

the Man who Broke the Record For
the West shore Road.
In St. Nicholas, Cleveland Moffett gives
an account Of the breaking Of a record in
running train on the Lake Shore road.
The last stage Of the journey found the
officials behind schedule time. But it
was made up by a quiet man named
Turnkey. Still. in spite OF these brave
efforts, they pulled out of Erie fifteen
minutes late and started on the last
relay with gloomy faces. 1t was eighty
six miles to Buffalo, the end of the race,
and they must be there by 11:31 to win,
which called for an average speed of
over seventy miles an hour, including
slow downs. No train in the world had
ever approached such an average, and
their own racing average since leaving
Chicago was much below it. So what
hope was there2
There was hope in a tall, sparely built
! man named Bill Turnkey, about whom no
body knew much except that he was a
good engineer who ran a rather clumsy
ten wheel locomotive not considered very
desirable in a race. All the other loco
motives had been eight wheelers. Still
the new engine had one advantage-sht
carried water enough in her tank for the
whole run and need not slow up to refill
as the others had done. She had another
advantage-that she carried Turkey, ont

Why the Timfd Vicar Ceased to Feur
the Dignihed Bishop.
A certain English bishop who was
generally feared by his clergy because
of his arrogant and unbending manner
was visited one day by a timid vicar
who had never held any communion
ton with his lordship save by letter.
He had heard stories enough, how
ever, to make him exceedingly anxious
concerning the interview, and on reach
ing the palace he paused in the shrub
berry to get up a little courage.
While he was standing there, hidden
as he believed, he saw the bishop come
to the door, book in hand, and look Up
and down the garden. The vicar
promptly broke out in a cold perspira-
ton. thinking his slulking had beer
detected. Not so. After a long look
about the bishop called:

There was a faint and not very re
spectful cooey from somewhere up in q

Robert Barr, who celebrated his fifty
second birthday on Sept is, is one Of
the few Scotsmen who can be termed
humorous, says the London Chronicle.
But he was only born in Glasgow. He
did not live there long, for at an early
age he was taken to Canada. he was
educated at Toronto and eventually be-
came schoolmaster there, remaining
in the teaching profession until 1876,
the year of his marriage. Then he
drifted into journalism, and some OF
his best work was read in the Detroit
Free Press. Canada, however, lost him
in 1881, when he came TO London, and
since then his career has become pub
lie property.
