A GIRL HAS RAILROAD POSITION
Pretty Bessie Hanley Holds an I'm
portant Post In Vermont.

Rutland. Vt, Aug. S.-Nineteen
and a girl, yet station agent, mail car
rier, express agent, baggage master
and freight agent for the Central Yer
mont railrosd-that is Miss Bessie
Elizabeth Hanley. of East Granville,
in the Green mountain range. And
she has held all these jobs since she
was seventeen years old.
Admiring friends claim that Miss
Hanley is the only young woman In
New England holding such position,
or such a multiplicity OF positions
that are so distinctively in the sphere
of the male species. Although just
emerged from childhood when ap-
pointed, she has done the work of her
office for two years without black
mark against her record.
Failure to be on hand at train time
is unknown, not only to Miss Hamey,
but to most of the residents of the
hamlet, for there is not a great deal
doing in East Granville during the
four months OF the year that are de-
lightful, and still less during the
eight months when the place is about
the deadest spot in all the wide area
of New England.
East Granville is near the upper
most portion of the pass in the Green
mountain range through which the

mont to the other.

is of considerable moment in the OPP
tration of traffic through the great
ravine and to the safety and conven-
fence of the thousands of passengers
on through trains between Boston
and Montreal. as well as to the hun
dreds of tons of freight which daily
pass the point
For on the care and watchfulness
of the girl in charge OF the company's
depot, under the sheer cliff of the
mountain side, depends their safety
No difficulty is experienced by Miss
Hanley in handling everything that
comes East Granville way. She finds
the railroad men all anxious to assist
her. Although not many trunks are
taken on at the little depot of which
she has charge. when one does show

a Pulling Item.

In 1876 the late John Hay, who
died as secretary of state. and Alvey
A. Adee. who is now second assist
ant secretary Of state, were serving
together in the legation at Madrid.
They were intensely interested in
the Outcome of the Republican Ma

wondering who would be nominated.
One morning they found this item In
a Madrid newspaper: "Rutebart 10,
Noyes of America have been elected
president of the republic of the
north"
That was as near as the Spanish
editor could get TO the bulletin:
Rutherford B. Hayes, has been NOM
mated for president by the Republi-
can National convention" and IL
took Adee and Hay a week to figure
Il out.-Saturday Evening Post.
