AGE LIMIT FOR RAILROAD MEN.
Rule Against Employing New Men
Past 35 Dead Letter.

Some railroads out-Oslerized Osler
not long ago by adopting a rule for
bidding the employment Of new men
past S5 years of age.
1t is gratifying. says the Railway
Garments Journal, to learn that the
absurdity of limiting the age at which
a railway man is eligible for employ
ment is passing away more rapidly
than the promoters Of such a measure
expected.
Already the principal roads in
America where the experiment has
been tried have abandoned the regula-
tion. The Boston & Maine, the AL
ton, the St. Paul and the Burlington
are virtually ignoring the age limit
regulation, and, guided by common
sense, are hiring men more with a
view to their qualifications than to
the exact number Of years which they
may have lived.
Experience and capability are the
real tests Of mans fitness for any
position, and if railway official
makes the mistake Of hiring an in
competent man there is no law COM
pelling the company to continue to
employ him. Years in themselves are
no criterion.
Some men are old at 4O Others are
young at CO. At anv event n is eafo
to assume that a lack Of the supple
ness Of youth is often more than made
up for BY the wider experience of
added years.

able influence Of this slight creature
beside him, brought to his memory
scenes Of bsauty and interest that he
had looked on only in passing. and
had long forgotten. He talked with
out roughness, and even found him
self thanking the waitress for things
she passed him. He felt pleasantly
uncomfortable.
He walked that evening with two
of his fellow dodgers. for a little exer-
else before retiring. One of them
was the young lady whom he had sat
next to at dinner. The other was a
young lawyer who occupied the room
next to his In the hal. Their talk
was wholesome and happy They
asked him about his home and his
business, not as curiosity seekers or
idlers. but as people sincerely inter-
ested in him. They never talked OF
themselves; but answered his ques-
tions frankly.
When he returned to his room there
was a flower on his bureau. The gas
was burning low rhe windows were
slightly opened. and the fresh. pure
air surrounded him He found a pitch
er of cool water at hand, and a glass
stood near it. Presently. Mrs. Simp-
son knocked at his door. 1T occurred

adorned his shelves. "N-no." be

"If you would like to use any OF our
books. just go down into the library
and help yourself You need not
