work in the accident insurance

fee for a policy is only $500 and
the premium is only S1.O0 per

especially for railroad men, and I'll tell YOU why.
During the winter OF I8Q6-Q7 was employed as
secretary to one of the operating department
officials of a northwestern railroad system II you
remember that winter, you will recall that II was one OF
hardship for railroad men. About Thanksgiving Day
there was regular blockade storm which was followed
throughout the winter by repeated storms OF varying
degrees Of severity My superior officer out in the
wake of the first Storm opening the line and OF course
ike a shadow, [ accompanied him. From then until
spring we were snow bucking most Of the winter.
Our first experience that season, which my initia
ton in work, very trying; It IS not, however,
OF that to tell, but OF incident which occurred
when the winter well advanced - such events are
incidents in raroadng, at least in western railroadlng
though in any other line Of work they might be COnsid
cred as more important than mere incidents.
We were working with rotary in one OF the southern
branch lines (ar enough north however, to be in the
center Of the storm district and working hard,
though our efforts seemed wasted would sooner
open the line in direction than storm would again
close behind us and neCesate working back
the same ground in the opposite direction.
The snow extremely hard on that southern line,
and had to three heavy engines to hold the
rotary into it. We had three the day this adventure
befell me.
They were having more or less trouble on various
parts of the SYSTEM and my superior was constantly IN
telepraphC communication with the superintendent
of the different divisions part of my duty was to
receive the messages and dispatch replies and, as our
work slow between stations there would be quite
number OF messages at nearly every station, and was
kept quite busy
/ was riding on the third or last engine behind the
rotary as we pulled into little day telegraph station,
which, to give it a name, shall call Marion" and
had a pOCketful OF messages. l jumped from the en-
CINE ran the platform to the telegraph office, and
threw the messages before the operator. Hold on
he said, as l started out. Here's pink just coming"
l knew that my superiors plan to run through
Marion open a three-quarters of mile cut on the
other side and then return for water so was not averse
to stretching myself before the red-hot little caboose
stove in the operators shack and watch him scrbbe off
the pink message. When the first was completed
there was second and third and when left the shack
| had quite a number of them.
Where are you going" called one OF the men on the
platform.
They'll be back soon as they get through the cut

ancestors long enough to establish their credentials for
membership in the society, the Daughters now are
devotng their time and earnest endcavor to the patriotic
education OF the rising generation. They arrange
lectures in the public schools to incucate patriotism and
love for the flag And considering that there are in the
United States, between $1,000 and 10000 of these
patriotic Daughters there is small chance for even
patrated Americans to grow up in the public schools.
The Continental Congress viii be held this year, for
the third time in the Continental Hail. in which the
Daughters are taking such great interest The hall
still far from completion but the temporary walls and
hangngs, all of dull green DENIM are very artistic
At this session the election of officers will be held, and

wears. will succeed herself.
