Throughout the Country.

Compulsory adoption by all inter

THE development of the automatic
train stop" says the report, has pro

be secured. Railroads should be given
to understand that the automatic train
stop must be developed a. rapidly as
possible"
The board also recommends that
tracks be properly inclosed. and laws
against trespassing enforced. 1t also
says there should be more complete

EARLY DAYS OF RAILROAD
INTEREST Taken In Its Operation Seems
Somewhat Amusing to Travellers
Of the Present Day.

The operation of train in rural
New England in the infancy Of rail-
roading had some amusing aspects.
A line had been built and styled
the Springfield. Athol & North East
ern. 1t was a high-sounding monick-
er for road less than fifty miles
long and with iron rails less than hfty
pounds to the yard. But 1t was long
on stops between Springfield and
Athol; there were eighteen OF them
and the first timetable allowed two
hours and half for the run Tne
afternoon train from Springfield got
to Enfield-about half way-a little
after six o'clock and It was not
deemed prudent to proceed farther in
the dark. So there the train stopped.
Most all of the villagers helped to
turn the table and put the engine In
the shelter-house ut was not round)
In such fashion that 1t could be
backed out in the morning to hook
onto the two-car train without delay
That was a great thing about work
ing for a railroad In the times when
railroad was a novelty. Most OF
the men who helped to turn the table
had worked nine or ten hours In the
mill that day. but they competed for
the privilege and eagerly sought news
from the engine and train crews.
much as II they were hearing about
strange lands from explorers
This assiduity was not diminished
noticeably until boy was killed in
the housing of the engine. His shrek
echoed through the placid little
Swift River Valley and from the mar
row of Enfield. One deaf old lady.

ward Belchertown. declared she had
heard It after a village gossip had
become purple shouting the news into
her ear trumpet. 1T was the first
shock in years.

FIRST TO DRIVE LOCOMOTIVE
Edward EntwIstIe Made initial Trip
With the Famous "Roeket- In
September, 1890.


Strictly speaking. of course, Stephen
son was the first driver of a locomo-
tive, but he only drove the Rocket"
upon trial trips by way of experiment.
The first official driver-that is the
man who was regularly employed to
take the train between Liverpool and
Manchester on the first track ever laid
down-was a young man named Ed
ward Entwistle, who was born at Tyl-
desley Banks, near Wigan, in 1915. At
the age of eleven Entwistle was made
an apprentice In the large machine
shops belonging to the Bridgewater
trust In Manchester. his parents hav-
ing decided that he should be an en-
gineer.
1t was in these works that the
Rocket" the first passenger locomo-
tive, was built under the direction and
according to the plans of its inventor.
George Stephenson. and young Entwis-
tie took the keenest interest in the
progress of the engine When the
Liverpool and Manchester railway was
finished and the Rocket" completed.
Stephenson looked about for a driver.
The foreman of the shop was consult
ed, says Mr.. Frank Hird. in "Lanca-
shire Stories," but after a day or two,
reported that he had no man he could
suggest. but that, If the great inventor
would take the young apprentice Ent-
wistle. he could recommend him
highly.
Entwistle was approached. and glad
ly agreed to assist Stephenson. The

tember Is. 1880. On Sunday Stephen
son and young Entwistle took the
Rocket for trial trip. running over
about onehah of the track The fol-
lowing day both were on the engine
which made that historic journey from
Liverpool to Manchester, drawing be-
hind 1t some of the most distinguished
people in the land. journey whose
triumph was marred by the tragic ac-
cident to Mr. Huskisson. During the
return journey from Manchester the
young apprentices hand was on the
throttle.
When the line was opened for gen.
eral traffic Entwistle was given sole
charge Of the Rocket" and for two
years made two round trips every
day, between Liverpool and Manches-
ter. one in the morning and the other
in the afternoon
Ultimately. however. Entwistle found
the work was too much Of a strain.
and after completing his apprentice
ship emigrated to America. where he
ultimately acquired a farm. on which
he died at the age of eighty-one-

ing. and Gill was kept busy late into
the evening looking after the trunks
Of people who we're taking advantage
OF the holiday, when he heard a
strange noise mixed In with the rat
tling of a passing freight He knew
the sounds Of trains. and he realized
there was something wrong with this
one. but. even Is he tried to distin-
and a slight thump. and the train con-
tinued with its usual noises.
Gill was busy. but after the freight
passed he could not help thinking
about the odd sound 1t made. Finally
he stepped to the door and looked
down the track
He had no particular purpose ex-
cept to ease his mind. but he saw
nothing and was turning back when
something glistening in the distance
caught his eye
He looked again, fancied he could
make out an object in the distance.
and even stepped over on the tracks.
The action was altogether unusual.
He had probably never done such a
thing before, but he felt impelled to
investigate further So he walked
down the track, and the more he
looked the more certain he grew there
was something on the rails.
He had baggage to check out. and
hurried the faster in order to be back
No 5. the limited. was almost due. but
he did not consider that at first, as
he never had occasion TO check bag
gage upon It He even heard it
whistling in the distance before he
realized that it was coming in on that
track
At the thought he started to run. but
by the time he had come up with the
object he could see the headlight of
the engine down the track In 30 sec
onds 1t would be upon him.
The obstruction remained hardly
more than dark shadow until he was
almost to 1t. and then he saw 1t Ses
the iron door of a freight car. It had
evidently broken loose at one end. and
the pounding against the side of the
car was the first sound he had heard.
When It broke away altogether came
the thump.
He seized the end of 1t to lift It on
the track. but 1t weighed more than
he bargained for. He could hardly
raise 1t from the ground. As he
strained. his back was turned to the
approaching train. and. struggling un-
der the weight. he could hear it pound
ing down upon him. but. lifting with
all the strength in him. he could not
raise 1t high enough to balance 1t OF
the track.
Within few seconds the situation
had become crucial. The train was
practically upon him. and he had the
door raised so high he could neither
drop 1t and save his own ekin, even II
he had wished to. or push 1t over.
The roar of the drivers was in his ears.
but there he was on the track. helpless
under the load.
The train struck the end OF the door
and. upon one end as it was. simply
turned it over out Of the way. As It
turned. Gill felt the sudden jerk and,
holding tight to the edge, turned a
complete somersault and landed In the
ditch without having been touched by
the engine.

to kiss. A lot Of people want to do
that Women kiss each other. men
kiss their wives. The guards have
no patience with sentiment of that
kind. They fiaunt their contempt by
bawling: Break away. there: no
time for that," and refuse to hold
the train half a second for the tender
est salute.
But this case was different. 1t was
easy to see how 1t was. A mother
was giving away her child The lit
tie fellow was in good hands. The

er was wretchedly poor. No doubt
It was best all around to give him
away. She and the boy stood the
parting like majors up to the last
minute. then the baby broke down.
"Mom-mon-mom." he blubbered
from the car platform.
Before the guard could close the
door or give the signal she had
reached through the crowd and
snatched him from the mans arms.
81 can't, I can't" she said.
And then the kissing began. The
guard didn't even try to say. Break
away," He gulped: SO did everybody
else. Presently the woman handed
the boy back. and the train started
on amid the deepest silence that had
ever hung over that subway station.
