should encounter an engineer OF your
acquaintance in a gambling room or a
barroom, idling away his time. spend
ing his money and, perhaps, drinking.
When you come to ride behind that
engineer again would you have the
same confidence In him that you had
before? Certainly not. That explains
why we have to be so careful"
Mr.. Burgess was an engineer on the
Louisville q Nashville railroad for %
years, making the run regularly be-
tween those two cities. In that period,
as The Times gets his record from a
fellow delegate, he never had a de-
merit, never caused the loss Of a
single life or the injury Of passenger
or employee, and never lost day. He
does not know the taste Of liquor and
does not play cards. When Mr.. Bur.
CESS was elected to office In the broth
erhood he was given an indefinite
leave OF absence and can go back TO
the same run he left any time he is
so disposed.
The outlook now Is that the en-
gineers will complete their work
about Wednesday OF next week. The
woman's auxiliary held its final SEES
sion Tuesday evening, and adjourned.
Most OF the delegates will remain in
the city until their husbands are
ready to accompany them home. Mrs.
John Turner, of Moberly, Mo-. was
elected grand sentinel. The probabili-
ties are that the 1912 convention will
be held in Chicago.
