" HE road to Frassmet is long and
lonely. You may travel for hours
without passing a single stopping
place
On the whole road you find only a
well and a willow The well has no
edging. and the willow is only an old
hollow trunk without any branches A
bucket in a long chain is suspended
from the willow and hangs into the
water.
That is all you see on the long road
to Frassmet.
Along this road on a New Years eve,
LOvin, a dashing brigad.er of the red
hussars, was driving his thoroughbred
horse with lightning speed With his

The horse was galIoping along at a

When the cocks crOWed the cold

headquarters in Livingston in an or
ganization which win discuss the DIFF.
feremt problems which are met by
the railroad men and to develop the
social features which are sought by
these men.
During the summer meetings have
been held by the dispatchers, at
which the train rules and ether mat
| ters were discussed.
Subjects of great interest to the
trainmen were brought up and scme
CT the engineers and firemen. con
ductcrs and hrakemen were invited
to the meetings. Other matters were
considered and gradually certain
n,atters discussed involved a discus
SIGN CT the mechanical departme nts
CT the railroad The outcome was
that the club open to all employees
c. the road was organized.
There are number CT the rail
read employees in Livingston who are
Officers and members Of important
boards CT national organizations
which have the duty of making the
different train rules, o'.ders and reg

organization to discuss the present
rules and proposed rules and to de-
eide what rules and regulations
would better the sy-:em, and lei. the
Officers here work in the interest
CT such rules at the national meet
ings which they attend.
The committee appointed win look
for a suitable place in which to
hold the meetings, ard it is planned
to have a reading room open to all
railroad men. If thought advisable,
. club house may be built in the
near future.
