MAN IN THE CABOOSE
JACK RUMSEY'S SECRET FOR
SECURING SLEEP.
A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Prevents the
Wreck of His Nerves.

A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is
housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end Of every freight
train and shares i'll every jolt of the
string of heavy cars that precedes it on

fellows who bear cheerfully the hazards
connected with the great problenl OF
TRANSFORMATION They are astir night
and day on vast network of lines and
the sympathies Of tens of thousands OF
peaceful little homes go with them on
their runs. The great public must have
it's supplies and these are the men who
must get them through at the cost even
of their lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey, of Council Grove,
Kansas, is an energetic, frank, good
natured member of this brotherhood ana
he bears a load of worries that makes IL
necessary for him to seek help to keep
his excited nerves from wearing him OUT
He says:

ability to get sleep when the chance came
