Freight Man Recosni sed King.

The railroad companies themselves recog- nize and admit the real supremacy of the freight man. Where they spend a dollar to advertise a passenger flyer or to buy new style of parlor car with red plush trimmings and nickel plated cuspidors they spend a million to cut down their grades so that freight may be carried more cheaply. The tourist quite prefers to crawl slowly up the side of the mountains. looking far down into dim gorges where great pine trees dwfndle to grass blades Never for him would Hill and Hartman spend hundred millions apiece in a mad fight to cut a few feet off each mile of the transcontinental climb All the tremen- dous tunnels that have been bored through mountains, all the huge fills that have been made, all the vast steel spiderwebs that have been spun across the cafions, are for the sole benefit of Mike and his long, ugly procession of brown box cars.
 It is to fill those box cars that Hill builds great steamships and sends his agents into China and Japan. It is for no other reason that Hartman made plans which covered three continents in their scope Only keep those box cars full and the fortune of rail- road is made That is the. whole railroad problem. The passenger traffic can be trust ed to take care of itself. But to haul empty box cars means swift ruin. If the cars are loaded on the westbound trip freight must be provided to fill them when they start back home It costs almost as much to haul them empty as full. That is why Hill presents blooded bulls to the farmers along his lines; why a dozen roads run special corn and wheat trains, carrying agricultural experts, who preach the gospel of bigger crops. Spe- cial rates to settlers are made not for the sake of their society but for the freight they will produce.
 A nice brass buttoned Job on fast passen- ger flyer is all right, but Mike and Tom and Johnny are the real railroad men. The next time you see freight train take your hat off to if

empty freight car No. s2 will be Delavan. Wis, forty-nine will be Fort Smith. Ark. and so on to the end of the chapter, each consider able freight point having a number and a car of it's own. As the west bound freight cars from the east are unloaded at the trans fer house the freight checker. who carries all the names and the numbers which corre- spoDd to them in his head, reads the address on each piece and calls off the proper number. Instantly the freight handlers get their trucks under it and wheel it away to the wait ing car.
 So all day and all night long. in the busy season. while the carload freight outside is being sorted and switched, the package freight Is being put together inside the trans fer house. And when the L. c. L. cars are filled they, too. must be coupled on to the right trains and started off again on the.. journeys. Mere passenger men deal with human beings who usually know where they want 10 go and are themselves held respon- sible for getting on the right trains and get ting off at the right stations. The freight man handles enormous masses of inanimate matter, split up into innumerable packages. and 1t is up toa him to see that no mistakes are made. No wonder he looks down on the passenger end of the game as mere child's s

Just Take This as Straight Tip from One Who Knows You

one of the foolish little fatuities that barbar- ians con themselves with when they're up against a more civilized race. The rough and uncouth party never can understand that there may be as much manhood under good clothes as under pair of Overalls. No, Freddy, the fancied superior virility of the west is only baggy trousers. Have another snifter," says he.
 That was a way Clarence had of winding up his knocks. He'd sort of hammer you in the eye. and then spread the salve over 1t in a way that made you want to forgive him. " You're a lot of rummies out here" says he, "but have another drink" No, you can't reach over the table and mace guy like that: not the day before payday, anyhow. And yet. 1t did kind of burn, the easy way that Clarence classed us with the Fiji islanders.
 "I have heard a lot about your stock yards dances, don't you know" says Clarence, after about the fifth round. "' Seen articles in the magazines about ern. and all that sort

Mere Cog in the Office.

Charlie found the big Chicago offices a different proposition from the field work. In Chicago he was merely one little cog in a great big machine; on the road he had fre- quently been the directing head of squad of men engaged in an undertaking of some magnitude.
 At this time Charlie looked at all his work from the purely personal selfish viewpoint. He was no more selfish than hundreds Of others around him; he just happened to be more seIf-centered than the average, and his first thought usually was, What will this work mean for me. and not " What will this work mean and how can do it the best way?'
 Charlie was placed under the engineer In charge of short division, upon which a great many changes were being made, changes that meant straighter track. lesser grades, etc. The chief, John Temple-was a man Charlie had worked within the field and in this work Temple had frequently dele gated important details to Charlie. Scarcely realizing the trend of his thoughts, Charlie began to think that he was as well qualified as Temple to have charge of the division.

~HE harm that poor shipping room
 may do to a firm is seldom appreciated
 even by the most careful managers. Especially IS this true of the small
 house. In such places there usually is one department that is slowed away down in the basement in dark corner. even under the often damp sidewalk. and that is the shipping department. And yet there is no de- partment which helps so much to create a favorable or unfavorable impression on the customer as this one. The customer orders his goods from the salesman's samI les. The samples always are bright and fresh, and the order is given on the assurance that the goods will arrive in similar condition Yet tbere are few houses of any kind that do not find in each days mail one or more com plaints that goods have arrived in bad order,

track where the freight for St. Paul and Min neapolis is being gathered. The next goes on to the St. Louis and Southwest track; a third on to the track for Omaha and Kansas City. All through the night with much loud yell ing and waving of red and yellow lanterns. this process of sorting goes on. Train after train of west bound freight climbs the top of the hump" and it's single cars slide back down again. one after the other. on to sep arate tracks. Every little while the yard master. the boss himself. wrapped in big shaggy coat gives the order and the cars for St Louis are coupled Into a train, an engine couples on in front and a caboose behind. and away it goes to leave room behind for later corners.
 To the casual layman a great freight yard at night is a chaos of noise. light, steam and confusion. To him the stage isset for some weird gigantic transformation scene To the freight man it is the perfection of order of orderly motion To watch Mike and Tom and Johnny play checkers with 5000 thirty ton freight cars Is better than play.
 
 ..New Deal" for the L. C. L.
 At the other end of the yard the east bound freight is being handled and made up into new trains. The freight crews that have brought in trains from the east are sent over here to start on their journeys back home The yardmaster has to shift and shuttle the crews as well as the loaded cars. And that Isn't all, nor the hardest part of his work as an outsider sees 1t.
 Perhaps 300 or 400 cars of L. c. L. freight west bound, have come in during the day from the east. In assingle car there will be boxes and bales for points in Wisconsin, Ar kansas. Iowa, and North Dakota. There may be forty fifty hundred packages in each car Now the process of sorting and distribution must be done again and in vastly more complicated and difficult way.
 Down in one corner of the freight yard stands the transfer house. Here all the cars containing l.. C. L. freight are switched, their seals broken and their contents re- moved. The interior of the transfer house is a vast shedlike room. It is divided into great number of imaginary compartments, each known by number. And on the track by each of these compartments stands an
