MEXICAN CHARACTERISTICS
Useless Employees Are Kept on Rail-
road Pay Roll as Matter
of Habit.

A little story from Tehuantepec is
just finding it's way into railroad cir
cles here. 1t casts NO reflection on the
ability of certain Tehuantepec RAJ
road man, but it does emphasize the
fact that the oil burner is a new thing
in Mexico, states the Mexican Herald.
Wood had been the common fuel on
the locomotives of that road before the
oil burners were placed in service.
The firemen ON that road were assist
ed by men known as wood passers.
The Tehuantepec is not the only road
in Mexico where wood passecs are on
the pay roll. 1t naturally follows that
when the oil burners we're placed in
commission, the roads wood passers
would have to go. They have gone,
but they were late in going. The wood
passer wasn't going to suggest that
he be let out. and calmly waited to be
notified that his services were no
longer required.
The oil burners had been running
standing beside the man whose duty
it was to look after those things,
asked the man why he didn't~take the
wood passers off the oil burners. He
added that he didn't see what good
they could do on an engine burning
oil. Apparently it was the first time
the man had thought about the fact.
The 2ext day every oil burner went
out without wood passer.

A DIFFERENCE,

From them who come to grumble when
They think the world has used them ill
We long to flee nor see again,
We wish they might. at least, keep still.
The luckless ones who come with means
We long to set upon with stones.
From them who come to boast how much
They have or are about to win,
We long to flee; we wish that such
Fools might find holes and there crawl

With empty pride they rouse our hate,
Their very smiles exasperate.

Sweet stress upon our excellence
We love them for their glad good sense.
