EXCITING RACE OF TRAINS.

Each Is Broken in Two, but Neither
Engineer Knows 1t.
The following story was told by j.
D. Mcnamara, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Wabash railroad:
From Clark to Mexico, Mo-, our line
runs almost parallel with that of the
Alton. The distance Is about twenty
miles. 1t is open country and the
grades are light. The going is good
and trains race with each other as
often as occasion offers.
Zone day two long freight trains,
one on each road, reached Clark about
together. A race, of course, was in or
der. Passing Centralia the Wabash en-
gineer turned partly around in his cab
and noting that the Alton man was
minus portion of his train gave a
broke in two whistle signal for the
information Of his rival. The Alton
man, hearing the signal, himself turned
IN his seat and observing that the
Wabash train was considerably shorter
than when the race began he pulled the
throttle open a notch or two more and
smiled as he looked forward to winning
the contest. AS the speed of the Wa
bash train continued to increase the
Alton man in spirit Of banter gave
with his whistle the broke in two sig
nal. AS there was no apparent effort
made to stop, the signal was repeated
Again and again was the signal
given by one or the other Of the racing
enginemen.
lat length Mexico was reached, both
trains arriving there at the same time
each engineer laughing at the Joke he
would have on his competitor when the
break would be discovered. As soon
as he stopped at the Mexico water tank
the Alton man called across the right of
way:
How far you goin' without vour
tail lightsY
The Wabash man, observing for the
nrst time his own predicament said:
Gosh, but I thought you was
whistlin' for your own hind endv
"'Ditto, Bud! exclaimed he Of tho

about two-thirds of his own train was

Tongue" in business is at discount.
The modern salesman is the man who
knows when not to speak. So Of adj
vertising, silence is often golden.
Increase your effort as your field mar
rows. It is easier to sell $40 worth Of
goods among a thousand people than to
sell that amount among one hundred.
If you have only hundred prospects,
then work them hard.
Good advertising cannot be called an
expense, for 1t is only an investment
just as you place your money in a shoe
stock or line Of furnishings, and you
get your money out of it just as surely,
and with possibly a better margin on
the investment
No door is thick enough to keep out
the newspaper and it's advertising; no

In 1905 the game Of football cost

the effects of the retirement from the
