ALWAYS READY

1.-The wrecking train stands ever ready
on siding especially allotted to it. This
must not be used by any other train under
any conceivable circumstance. Ii wreck
occurs the track must be cleared-frOm
three to five minutes being the time usu-
ally allowed for crew to get under way
during the daytime An engine ready to
baul the train to a wreck stands always
waiting. The water tank in its tender Is
always full. Its coal supply is heaping
tenderful. Steam is constantly kept up,
and an engineer and fireman are ever
ready to jump to work at minute no
tice.
Gas soon as disaster occurs the wreck T
ing train is given the right Of way over all
other trains. At speed ranging any
where from forty five TO seventy five miles
an hour the engine chases, shrieking her
whistle like a frightened cat. The one
object is to get the track cleared so the
main line Of the road can be operated. No
wreck ever happens but what it piles over
the main line-that goes without saying,
for it is within the law OF cussedness OF
things. And what it means to have a
main line blocked only an experienced
railroader can appreciate There are the
thousands of cars filed with perishable
stuff. A score of freight trains and coal
trains are held up, many of their loads in
tended for outgoing steamers that cannot
afford to wait. Thousands of persons are

The death of William j. White, of War

place at his home in Warrenton on the
early morning of the 23rd of September,
1903, was an event which calls for more
than passing notice. not because of any
eminence Of the deceased in public or
official service, but by reason of the
splendid character of his private and
personal life and the good influence arts
ing therefrom upon his fellow men as he
walked among them. He had no predilec-
ton for public honors, and his only ambi-
ton was to be of service to mankind-in a
private sphere-and to receive its conf
dence and love in return.
