ABSENCE OF MIND.

Absence of mind, so called, is a
strange failing that often leads those
who are subject to it into trouble.
John Sharp Williams is said to be
one of the most absent minded states
men in Washington today. His Sec
rotary knows of this failing and keeps
a fairly close watch on the victim.
The other evening that useful indi-
vidual recalled to Mr. Williams mind
that he had promised to dine with
Representative Sibley. Williams be-
gan making toilet articles describe the
proper curves, thinking meantime of
something else. In about five min
utes, after surveying himself in a
shaving glass, he turned to his secre-
tary and asked: Now. how's that"
Fine. fine" admiringly remarked that
young person; but, really, 1 think
you would look a little better if you
should wear trousers"
Mr.. Williams had neglected to as
sumo that important bit of harness.
The cause of absence of mind is said
by people who have studied it to be
the result of trying to carry along
two or three lines of thought at once.
A man knows in a general way that
he is dressing, for instance. so he

ONLY A SQUARE DEAL.

The house judiciary committee has
reported favorably a bill which, II
passed, will relieve railroad companies
of exemption from liability for dam
age in case of death or injury to en-
ployes, where they now often escape
under the rule of negligence of fell
low servant. 1t is an old principle of
common law that when the employe
suffers from the carelessness of fell
low servant, the employer cannot be
held liable. This rule applies to rail-
roads except in some states where 1t
has been a brogated by special legisla-
ton.
The peculiar hardship involved in
the fellow-servant principle of the
common law in the case of railroad
employee is that whereas a passenger
of a railroad company may obtain
damages for injury, or his friends may
recover in case of death, neither the
employe nor his friends may recover
if it can be shown that the accident
was the result of careessness on the
part of some other employe.
Of course, it is impossible for a rail-
road employee to be in any sense re-
sponsible for the employment of care
less or reckless fellow servants. The
negligence or carelessness from which
he may suffer may be committed
hundred miles away by some one
whom he never heard Of.
Railway and Locomotive Engineer
ing. one of the best established trade
papers in the country, is among the
advocates of this bill, which seems to
have for it's object simply the guaran
teeing to employees of railroads the
same rights to damages in the case of
injury that are accorded the public
and to employees in other lines of in
dustry.
