down In Wall street history as the
gamest little man that ever lived.
He made tremendous effort when
all America was watching his home
coming to appear the active, energetic
man that he has been all his life, but
physical condition told, and three times
he was near collapse, while all who
saw him wondered at the remarkable
courage that held him up through a
trying interview with the reporters.
Mr.. Hartman explained to the re-
porters that he was feeling better and
that his weakened condition was the
result Of the severe treatment abroad.
Though with trembling steps, he ap-
peared jauntily at the rail of the South
ern Pacific tug FL Toro when she
reached the Erie dock in Jersey City
and waved welcome to the news
paper men waiting to talk with him.
Hurry now" he requested the cam
era men, and he called the members
of his family and insisted that they
stand beside him to be photographed.
With hands tightly gripping the rail,
but with smile, he faced the battery
Of cameras while dozen or more pic
lures were taken, and then rather hur-
riedly he waved his hand and started
for the gangway. He passed without
a word through a silent throng. and
his family hurried after him. Reach
ing his car, he sank trembling on the
nearest couch.

Train and Track.

Russian railways are the most dan

every million passengers are either
killed or hurt.
The most expensive and roomiest
railway station In the world Is said to
be that Of the Peninsular Railway
company at Bombay.
In the building Of railways in Tur-
key preference is given to the narrow
gauge lines. as these are cheaper and
may more readily be made to reach
most Of the villages situated along the
general lines which they are intended
to follow.
