at Marietta, Ga. While the passengers
and crew were at breakfast at Big
Shanty. seven miles north Of Marietta,
they cut of the engine and started on
a mad race of destruction.
The action of the Federal party, who
posed as southern refugees anxious to
Join the Confederate Army, aroused the
suspicion of Murphy, then foreman of
the Western and Allan ic roundhouse at
Big Shanty. When the General started
on its wild race Murphy and two others
started on foot in pursuit, seized a hand
car and later ran 1t to Etowah. Ga,
where the engine Texas was impressed.
Fifty-One Miles of Duel.
For fifty-one miles the race continued
to Ringgold, Ga, where the General was
captured as the men In charge attempted
to burn bridge Several Federal officers
were summarily executed. But the plan
of the Union forces to cut the Confed-
crate communications was defeated.
Although the engines wee of a crude
type, most of the race was made at the
rale of sixty miles an hour. Murphy was
the engineer jeff Cain the train en-
& neer. and Capt. Fuller. the conductor,
fired for him.
The war left Murphy penniless. He set
to work again cheerfully. When he dled
he had amassed a fortune of ma mil
lion dollars in the sawmili and LUMBER
business.

Harry Gordon Selfridge. while manager
of Marshall Field & Co.'S retail estab-
lishment. employed a large number Of
young men every year, and preferred
college men, but he found the greatest
difficulty in persuading them to take po-
sitions In mercantile establishment be-

not dignified for an educated young man
to sell goods at retail.
The Highest Ideal.
Henry L. Tones of Burlington asks
whether the highest ideal Of life is
represented by the following Lines from
a famous poet, and whether young
man should direct his career by such
Doctrines
"And only the Master shall praise US.
And only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame:
But each. for the joy Of the working.
And each In his separate star.
Shall draw the thing he sees II,
For the God Of things as they are.
The meaning Of these lines seems to be
rather blind. and 1t is difficult to jud e
just what the writer means. But men
who work for money and for fame usu-
ally have ideals quite as high. If not
higher, than those who don't; and men
who work for neither are generally poor
sticks. The Master has no use for any
one who does not do his best Men Who
acquire money and fame can De more
useful to the Master than those who re-
main poor and unknown. The parab e
of the talents. in the twenty-nfth chap
thew, represents a higher ideal of life
than this poem.
