A clerk in a railroad office one day got a call we the phone from n
of thu stmekeepers of O. ne Of the principal Shops of the system. and the en-
suing conversation was in part as follows:
Hello. Tie! This is storekeeper Spike; we are all out II three quarter Inch
hexagon nuts and have five engines sin the shop for repairs. an will be unable
to turn them ut until 70 get some"
Sorry, Spike, but you know we order them from Buffalo o n a contract
and It would take three or four days to get them here"
what am I going o d2 Hold five engines three or four days until they
are shipped from Buffalo? Can't you obtain a couple of kegs locary?'
IT will try Spike and will let you know later; goodby"
Tie obtained the nuts locally, n the consequence vas that the mex morn
ing the five engines were released for service
On Ties arrval It the office next morning he was summoned tt the chief
clerks office.
"Te, I have a order here confirming a local purchase of som three
quarterInch hexagon u to be shipped to our shop al -; what do you

mr. Rail, I placed that order latey yesterday; they had i've engines tied
up in the shop which were required din the SERVICE"
but don't you nov that % have a contract for that material and that
you have paid $3.50 more than the contract calls forT' ;
THAT may De sc, Mr.. Rail- but this was al Urgent case, nd 1 thought it
better to pay the excess and get them there so the engines could be released"
"Wen. I will give this matter further consideration. and you will be mighty
lucky If you don't losey your job through it."
Dear reader, If you have n idea If a railroad Office you will know that
when anything goes wrong the guilty party gets 1t from the mn higher up
and from him 1t Is handed down % the assistant to the assistant to-so you
see for n small act you get about half a dozen reprimands. 1t is plain to
be seen that this clerk did save the company money, n where encourage
day this clerk became disinteresed in his work, and shortly after left the
service of the company.
No doubt he vas OF the road to success but becoming disheartened by
the fac that his efforts to d good were overlooked rather han encouraged, he
may la possibly lostth chance of his life.
Young man learn from this, that if you cannot give encouragement, it
is best not o act at all The slightest accomplishment might possess

IRON CROWN OF LOMBARDy.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Will o kindly give me in brief the

1.-TWO legends have arisen in connec-
tion with the famous emblem of SOW

history of the crown as a crown, the
other providing a sacred origin for the
iron. The iron Is but a very thin
strip, three-eighths Of an inch broad by
one-tenth Of an inch thick, inserted in
the interior Of the g~em-studded and
broad hoop Of gold. The legend re-
cites that this was one Of the nails
of the cross discovered by st. Helen
and given by her to her son, Constan-
tine the Great. The history Of the
crown begins with T~heodolinda, widow
of Autharis, King Of the Lombards.
who married a SECOND time Agilulphus,
Duke of Turin, in 594, and had this
crown made for him. On the death Of
Agilulphus the crow wa deposited in

BEFORE THE RAIN.


Clouds are dusky gray and still,
Natures waiting for the rain;
Birds have ceased their song until
They can feel the sun again.
Trees are waiting, patient, too,
flushed Inc silent as they stand,
Till the breeze comes sailing through
Fresh'ning all the weary land.
Waters ripping like a son
Where the willows bend above,
Gently coaxing 1t along
With a tender mother-love.
The long grasses Tilt and sway
To the music's mystic flow
In a dance Of elfish play
Mirrored in the stream below.
Sentinel poplars, straight and tall,
Upward urn their shining leaves,
And the tree toads scrape and call
In a tune that oddly grieves.
There's a brooding tenderness
That's so sweet 1t starts a pain
Yearning through and through your
breast,
Then-here ome the driving rain.
