tive Engineers by the standard it will
compare favorably with any in the coun-
try.
There is probably no class of workers
in the country, requiring an equal
amount of skill that is as we'll paid for
their work as the locomotive engineers
The organization was started in 1868 in
the city of Marshall, Mich, by few en-
gineers employed On the Michigan Gen.
trail railroad. Those few pioneers held
a meeting at the house of one of their
number, and issued an invitation to en-
gineers on other roads to send delegates
to meeting to be held il Detroit. Ten
delegates responded, and q constitution
was adopted and the Brotherhood of the
Footboard was formally launched on
May, 8, 1868. During the first year A
subdivisions were organized, and at 4
convention in Indianapolis, August, 1864.
the name was changed to its present one
At the present time it has $40 divisions,
with a membership Of $4,000 in round
numbers.
1t was among the first unions to pro-
vide for a monthly journal devoted ex-
clusively to the interests of the craft.
The first issue OF the monthly journal
appeared in January, 1867, and contained
16 pages. Now it has 12S pages, and is
one Of the best edited labor magazines
in the country.
The organization has contracts with
IS per cent Of the railroad companies on
the American continent, having an even
100 general boards Of adjustment.
The biennial convention has just been
held in Los Angeles, and Warren S. Stone
has been elected grand chief. He is a
native Of Eldon, a., is "A years of age,
and was appointed grand chief last year
after the death of p NJ. Arthur. Previous
to his appointment he was chairman OF
the general board of adjustment OF the
Chicago & Rock Island railroad system.

while some have gone so far as to de-

aloof from other organizations. The

felIs how she first discovered the use
of a key by locking her mother IN a
pantry and of the glee she experienced
at her parents efforts to break OUT
from the closet. She played the same
trick on her instructor, Miss Sullivan,
not long after the latter's arrival at
the Keller homestead. But the faith
full teacher soon won the undying az
lection of her pupil, and, though the
task of i%nstructing her was exceeding
ly difficult, it was rendered easier than
it might otherwise have been by her
wonderful intelligence and her eager
ness to learn when once she began,
m~etaphorically speaking, to see the
light. 1t was some time before the
teacher succeeded in making h pupil
realize the connection between the
words spelled with the fingers and the
things actually signi6ed by the words.
The first time the young girl seemed
really to grasp this connection was one
day at the pump in the yard. Helen

An incident that shows the determi-
nation of which Miss Keller is possessed
and her patience in overcoming obsta-
cles occurred in connection with her
final examination for entrance to Rad
cliffe college in 1899. The college au-
thorities would not permit Miss Sull1-
van to read the questions to her, and
an instructor from the Perkins institu-
ton who was a stranger to her was
selected for the task. He copied the
papers for her according to the Amer
lean system of writing for the blind.
Miss Keller got along very well with
this in the languages, but when it came
to geometry and algebra trouble arose,
for she knew only the English signs
and symbols for these studies. But by
exercising her remarkably keen powers
Of perception she figured them out.
The Oldest love letter in the world is

careful when he tossed it through his
