SandY,s Name is mDinis."

Within year or two Chile's gov
eminent railroads will no longer offer
lucrative places to Scotch engineers.
Practically all the engineers running
the government locomotives come
from North Britain under fve-year
contracts, and the cost to the Chilean
exchequer is about one-third more
than would be the employment of ma
tive-born engineers. Hitherto, how
ever, the canny Scots have easily
proved their superiority; fact which
Is generally admitted.
To bring the Chilean youth up to a
pitch of proficiency so that they will
be able to take the places of the
highlypaid Scots, a government school
is being opened here under a Scotch
instructor. At first it was urged that
an American should be engaged, but
to placate the Scots still under con-
tract it was decided that a Glasgow
applicant should get the place. There
are about 300 engineers and 600 ma
chinists employed on the government
roads of Chile.

System In Movinu Trains,

The dexterity with which dispatch
ers and towermen juggle trains in a
great terminal is a marvel of modern
life which, on account of it's very mag
nitude, goes unnoticed While the
nightly crush and scramble in the sub
way, where trains run on a one-min-
ute schedule, has for years furnished
material for kickers and humorists,
few persons realize that the maze of
great expresses and locals run in and
out of the Grand Central during rush
hours under shorter Roadway than the
surface cars on Broadway. The num-
Der of people who arrive and leave
the terminal daily is now about 1885,
900, or nearly 100000 every eight
days. Yet there is little or no confu.

Passing of Veteran Enoineer.

A veteran railroad engineer, John
w. Wade, who recently died at Allan
ia at the age of Lightweight, had ad-
ventures beyond most of his calling.
In 1851, when employed in the shops
of the Baldwin Locomotive works in
Philadelphia, he was intrusted with
the responsibility of carrying to
Georgia two Of the first locomotives
put into service on the railroads of
that state Mr.. Wade decided to To-
cate in Atlanta. He had many excit
ing experiences in running trains dur
ing the Civil war. He was often called
to pilot troop trains to all portions Of
the south, and for weeks at time his
family would not know where he was.
At one time, finding all bridges burned
and unable to proceed with his train,
he attempted another route only to
find himself hemmed in by the enemy,
and stiff fight ensued, in which the
Confederate forces were victorious
and able to make their way to their
destination.-Springfield Republican.

GOT RICH IN
THREE YEARS
EXPERIENCES OF A BRITISH I'M
MIGRANT IN CANADA-WEST.

The following straightforward state
ment needs no comment to add to
Its force and effect. 1t appears in a
recent issue of the Liverpool Mer.
curry.
II. Patterson, of Nutana, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, when he arrived from
Liverpool, had six of us to support"
to use his own phraseology. and his
funds were getting low. He secured
a homestead 80 miles out from Sun
durn, and started living on it April
10. 1907. The previous fall he put all
his money, s137, into a shack and lot,
making sure of home. AS cook and
caterer in a local hotel he made SIS
month, and out of this had some
savings out of which he paid his
breaking and improvements on the
homestead. The shack was sold to
good advantage. Then Mr.. Patterson
tells the story after he had removed
his family to the homestead:
For the first month life was so
strange and new that hadn't time to
think of anything, only fixing up our
new home. | was so green to farm
life that l didn't know the difference
between wheat and oats q do now!
Between working out, cropping my
place, and with my gun, we managed
to live comfortably for the three
years, which time was required to put

Prominent EnoIish RaiIroader

Sir Samuel Fay, recently knighted
by King George of England, is general
manager of the Great Central railroad,
and though one of the most prominent
figures in the railway world he began
as junior clerk in a wayside station
on a branch line. He is of farming
stock, essentially self-made man,
small in stature, but the possessor of
an iron will. His first great success
was the regeneration of the Midland
and Southwestern Junction, which he
and put on a paying basis after the
road had been given up as hopeless.

The ladies' of the Jury

The ladies of the jury
Gazed at the fair defendant,
She saw their happy faces }
Her hopes took the ascendant
The witnesses were talking;
The lawyers were Directing;
A very pleasant verdict
The lady was expecting.
The Judge advised the jury
About the testimony
The judge was rather clipper,
And dapper-like and tony.
The jury and the bailiff
Went to the jury quarters,
And then came bombardment
From all their verbal mortars.
Ibid you see her old jacket"
well! Such a dowdy bonnet"
Her collarette had bargain
And 'out-of-date' upon it,"
"Silk Petticoat? 1t wasn't!
It's merely imitation"
Her cheeks are badly painted
Look like conflagrationw
"And that one ostrich feather!
Now, don't 1t look wilty?"
The twelve then said in chorus:
"Of course, she must be guilty!
Then back into the courtroom
They went, and then suggested
They'd like to know the charges
On which she was arrested.

The HappY Man.

Now see the man with his arms full
Of bundles.
You are always saying that you are
sorry for the poor men that have to
carry so many packages during the
holiday shopping period; you argue
that they are angry over it and that
wrath is harbored within their hearts.
Well, look at the man. See. He
must have two dozen bundles of vari-
Gus kinds, piled SO high he can hard
ly see over them Is he scowling? Is
he frowning? Is he inwardly rag
ing? Not any.
He sniles; he beams; he CLOVIS

O, we'll, of course he is happy be-
cause he sold the goods-but you
needn't spoil the incident by calling
attention to the fact.

DECREASE SPEED CT TRAINS
Railroads Seem TO Be in Agreement
to Limit Running Time to Seventy
Miles an Hour.

An eastern railroads restriction OF
the speed of all trains to seventy
miles an hour indicates a tendency
away from the old speed ideals OF
American railway management. 1t is
significant that the new policy is
adopted at time when in improved
roadbeds, the New York World re-
marks, stronger bridges. steel equip
ment and in everything but tougher
rails, the roads are in better position
to run fast trains with safety than
when most of the "limiteds" and
flyers" were instituted
Most speed records on American rail-
roads, in fact, were made under less
secure operating conditions than now
exist. A Lehigh Valley train in 1897
covered forty miles at the rate OF
eighty miles an hour, a Burlington
train In 1902 ran fifteen miles at a
ninety-eight mile gait and a train on
the Plant system in 1901 accomplished
the remarkable feat of running five
miles at the rate of 100 miles an hour
AS far back as 1S4S the Great West.
ern of England ran a train fifty-three
miles at speed of sixty-eight miles
an hour.
Seventy miles an hour is the maxi
mum speed allowed on French rail
roads. 1t is more a theory than a
condition as respects trains on regu
lar schedule in any country. The
fastest German train, running between
Berlin and Hamburg, maintains q
speed Of only fifty-five miles an hour
and English schedules are but little
faster.
Does a public demand exist fol
eighteen hour and other high speed
trains? Railway managers represent
that 1t does, and a recent wreck was
ascribed by an Illinois jury to this in
direct cause. But the companies are
under no compulsion to run them
they are uneconomical, and most
have been instituted by way of rivalry
and to advertise the roads more thar
to meet any real need of the travelling
public.
A policy of speed reduction would
accord with the policy of retrench
ment with which railroad executives
are confronted in other things.

lines, bridges and culverts, signals
and interlocking; for the safe conduct
of his men and car over main tracks
without any safeguard in the way OF
train orders. He must know the time
of arrival and departure of all regular
trains and whether or not they are
running late, timing his work accord
ingly. He must be as familiar with
the tagging rules as are the trainmen
and enginemen. He must effectively
police the company's property against
all acts of trespass and vandalism
without any real power He is respon-
sible for the proper care and appear
ance of the permanent way and the
fences inclosing it. He must deal, as
the company's representative, with ad-
jacent property owners. He has more
than a hundred other duties to be
found in detail in the rule books.
The work of the ordinary section
hand is not a bit less honorable or
painstaking. have in mind a typical
illustration, declares a writer in the
Boston Herald. This mans first job
in the morning and the last at night
was track walking. During many
years of my service in the switch
tower he was frequent visitor during
the night time. 1t must not be sup
posed that he was called out or paid
overtime for this service. The fact is
he worked instinctively and the job
was on his mind. The pattering of the
rain or the falling of the snowflake
was all the calling he received. In
the tower, put his head in at the door,
and simply said to the towerman,
"How's everything" And then, if it
happened to be toward morning, he
would take his shovel or his wrench,
according to the weather and sally
out on his usual tour of inspection.
The track walker on a railroad Is
the eye of the foreman. 1t is a po-
sition of the greatest responsibility.
The man must be posted on the time
table and the book of rules. AS he
walks along he is on the lookout for
fires of every description His bust
ness Is to hunt up and recognize at
once a dangerous condition of track
or roadbed. He carefully scrutinizes
rails, switches and frogs for breaks,
or even indication of flaws. AS he
proceeds he tightens up bolt at one
place, knocks in a spike at another,
or, perhaps, with his shovel, he guides
stream of water away from the
tracks and into its proper channel
At the same time his eye and mind
have business to attend to aloft and
on every side. He must take note of
the working condition Of signals and
Indicators on his section. There are
also score of posts and sign boards
every one Of which has a mission OF
safety or warning. Above all, there is
the bridge guard" matter of vital
Importance to trainmen. This gives
one pretty good idea of the track
walkers practical value to the rail
road and to the community.

NEW FIELD OPEN TO E. T. FAIRCHILD

National Educational association, and
superintendent of education of the
state of Kansas, has been rendered
the presidency of New Hampshire
Agricultural college,
The practical benefits of educa-
ton have been emphasized by Mr..
Fairchild in his work in Kansas.
The conventional treatment of the
sciences in the secondary schools was
objected to by Mr. Fairchild as I'M
suited to the pupil and to his actual
needs when he got out of school. 1t
is his idea that all text books, espe-
cially in high schools, should follow
the plan demanded by teachers of
arithmetic-that all the problems
presented be Of things that concern
the active life of the child.
''The present text books are for
advanced work and are not practi-

KING NICHOLAS PICKED TO START WAR

Declaration of war against Turkey
by King Nicholas of Montenegro, fol-
lowed quickly by several severe en-
gagements between Montenegro and
Turkish forces, are regarded merely
as the beginning of a general con-
flagration in the Balkan states.
1t is believed that the other units
in the Balkan coalition will follow
suit as soon as the mobilization OF
