for ten trays for holding fruit, similar

about one-half bushel of fruit. Modi-

EQUALIZING DISTANCE NO PROB
LEM FOR TIM MOYNAHAN.
His Orders Were to Have Tool House
Half Way Between Mile Posts,
and Consequently Half
Way 1t Was.

About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased to the Boston &,
Maine, that portion Of the old road
between Swampscott and Salem was
in charge of Section Foreman Tim
/ othy Moynahan, according to a Bos-
ton correspondent.
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 western end of the Salem yard to
half way between mile posts Is and
16, he started out with the determin-
alton to move the house half way,
no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta
toned one of his men at mile post

Is and another at mile Post 16, and
at signal they started to walk to-
ward each other until they met, and
to point opposite their meeting
place the shanty was moved. This
method of getting the correct distance
did not quite suit Moynahan, espe-
cially when he remembered that one
Of the walkers was taller than the
other, and the other tripped several
times on the way down.
He carried this in his mind for
nearly year, when he met the engi-
neers measuring through for signals,
and asked them to tell him, as they
measured, If his house was just half
way or not.
When the measurement was taken
the house was found to be 60 feet
nearer mile post 16 than Is, and Moy-
nahan, on being told, remarked that
he thought he could fix things just
right.
Later in the year the engineers met
Moynahan in Salem, and asked him
If his tool house was now half way
between the mile posts?

FEUDS in FAMILIES
SOURCES OF EMBARRASSING
TO GUESTS.
Temptation to Sympathize with Ap.
parent Victim Is Something to
Avoid-Where Diplomacy
Is Called For.

Few things are more embarrassing
than to find ones self guest in dis
united household.
One must be gifted with wonderful
tact and prudence to be able to avoid
taking sides and making remarks
which embroil one with all parties, for
no matter how much they fight among
themselves they are certain to make
common cause against an outsider.
After one has been cut a few times
they learn not to put their fingers in
between the blades of the scissors.
Yet, how persistent is the tempta-
tion to sympathize with an apparent
victim and mingle our own indigna-
ton with the outbursts of which we
are made the confdant.
1t may be the wife who is at odds
by the conduct of son-in-law, or the
younger sister in jealous rage
against her seniors.

in general, which particular women
are bound to take up and respond to

usually thrown off carelessly and with

1t is scarcely possible to be an in

remain strictly neutral and impressive
without convincing her that you are
