Hire Regular Press AGENTS.

Diplomats in the passenger and
freight departments get all the bust
ness they can while other diplomats
perform other services for the cor2o-
rations. Lately railroads have fol-
lowed the example of the Erie in
hiring a regular press agent. Often
one of the vice presidents is the man
whose duty it is to make as good an
impression with the public as he pos
sibly can for his road. There every
where is in the railroad world evil
dence of disposition to deal more
openly with the public This, of
course, .neceSsitates the employment
of men who possess in some marked
degree the characteristics and re-
sourcefulness that make diplomats.
The result is that the railroad bust
ness now offers the aspiring young
man a few more chances than it used
to, and in Chicago, the railroad cen.
ter Of the United States, those chances
are more numerous than they are in
any other city in the country.
AS there is scarcely a more inter
estlng railway OF equal size in the
country than the. three-m;le cog road
built from the base to the summit Of
Mt. Washin gton, one can readily he
ieve that its offici5ls, particularly it's
superintendent, must be interesting
TOO, says the Boston Globe.
When the cog road is not in opera
ticn, or when the roadbed is not re-
ceiving attention before the beginning
and after the end of the season. the
superintendent, John Horne, is busily
engaged in the machine shops of the
Boston & Maine at Lakeport. Mr..
Horne is never too much occupied to
discuss the Mt. Washington railway
and he knows the subject thoroughly.
Mr.. Horne has been connected with
the Mt Washington road for 80 years;
the last u as superintendent. He is
a native of Yorkshire, England, and is
a man of remarkable mechanical abil-
ity, which he has found opportunity
to demonstrate in many ways during
his connection with this unique road.

this year Mr.. Rand arrived June 10Th with
twenty-one boys. Mrs. Rand and her four
boys arrived several days previous. There
are many desirable features in regard to
the work of this camp. One is, the work is
done systematically another every member
of the camp has duties assigned to him
and a certain time for doing them. The inn
portant objects of this organization are to
make the boys happy, instruct them when
needed, develope them mentally, morally
and physically to teach them self respect
and respect for the rights of others, and to
keep everything around them in a neat and
sanitary condition. They are not allowed
to use tobacco, profane language or firearms,
and are expected to attend church. Regu-
lar hours are maintained for retiring and
rising. Special attention will be given to
any boy who is physically weak. Great
care is exercised by the director over the
athletic department. In the special depart
ent each boy will receive individual atten-
ton. In 1906 the boys formed a club called
Camp WinnecOok Boys Club. The follow
ing year a club house was planned and
| built almost entirely by the members. The
purpose of the Club is beneficial in many
! ways. besides keeping the members of the
camp in touch with one another. The
camp season begins June goth. ends Aug
