AN EASY SOLUTION.
How the Section Boss Got the Tool
House In tho Right Spot.

How the Section Boss Got the Tool
House In the Right Spot.
About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased by the Boston and
Maine that portion Of the old road be-
tween Swampscott and Salem was in
charge Of Section Foreman Timothy
Moynahan.
His strongest point was in doing
Just as he was told and doing that
with energy and accuracy. So when
he was notified from Beverly by Road
master Stevens that the section lengths
were to be changed and that he was to
move his tool house from the westerly
end Of Salem yard to halfway between
mileposts Is and 16 he started out with
the determination to move the house
halfway, no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta
toned one of his men at milepost Is
and another at milepost 16. and at a
signal they started to walk toward
each other until they met, and to a
point opposite their meeting place the
shanty was moved. This method of
getting the correct distance did not
quite suit Moynahan. especially when
he remembered that one of the walk
ers was taller than the other and the
.ther tripped several times on the way
down.
He carried this In his mind for near
~ year, when he met the engineers
measuring through for signals and
asked them to tell him as they meas
ured If his house was just halfway or
not
When the measurement was taken,
the house was found to be sixty feet
nearer milepost Is than Is. and Moyna-
han. on being told, remarked that he
thought he could fix things just right
Later in the year the engineer met
Moynahan in Salem and asked him If
his tool house was now halfway be-
tween the mileposts.
1T is" he replied. Its Just half
way"
did you have much trouble moving
ity"
mo trouble at all. 1 just let it stay
as it was and moved the milepost."-

Of Old Times.
JOHN KAMP IN TROUBLE.

BATTERY ON WILLIAM BROOKS
EARL HUDSON, A STRANGER,

of Attorney B. C. Robbins, who repre-
sents Ramp, the case was continued
until Wednesday. Mr.. Brooks will
represent his son and in open court he
warned Mr.. Robbins not to testify
with any Of his" witnesses. Mr.. Rob
bins called the attention of the court
to this action on the part of Mr..
Brooks and then informed Mr.. Brooks
that he would ask the witnesses for
the plaintiff anything he saw fit to
ask them. Mr.. Brooks left the court
room saying that he intended to pro-
tect his child 1t is charged that
kamp kicked the Brooks boy because
he thought young Brooks had some
walnuts which belonged to Mr.. Ramps
son.

rived here Saturday and began work
on a Main street corner writing call
ing cards, was arrested for drunk. IN

but had been drinking SO that he would
be able to do his work. He said that
recently he had been injured. He
made a plea for mercy, stating that he
was not a man who made a practice of
getting into trouble and that he had
"seen better days" Hudson drew 81
and costs. Luther Watkins, colored.
was fined ST and costs for drunk, much
to Luther's disgust. He is a farm
hand and he stated that if the court
would let him go this time he would
promise never to drink another drop
of liquor as long as he lived. Mr..
Court, I've never been inside a Jail
house in my life," said Watkins. He
was allowed to go to the farm where
he is employed to get money to pay his
fine. Harmon Bussen drew 81 and
