One day there lived a very proud
cat whose name was Kitty. She had
soft, black and glossy fur, with blue
ribbon round her neck. The house in
which she lived was big beautiful
building. Opposite her lived a poor
dog named Toby, who, being unused
to the luxuries of Kitty, did not know
what it was to be proud. At this time
there was a certain law between dogs
and cats This law was that when you
when you are angry you must keep 1t
stiff. Kitty, thinking that as she was so
rich it was unfair to make her do even
one thing the same rs such poor
creature as Toby, broke this law and
did just the opposite. She was, of
course, punished and since then cats
wag their tails when they are angry
instead of when they are pleased.

JAMES H. LINCOLN
FATALLY HURT IN
LOCAL YARD
Rutland Trainman Caught Be-
tween Engine and Car
DIED IN TROY HOSPITAL
Engine Backed Upon Wrong Track
While Making Up Chatham Dlvi-
sion Train

James H. Lincoln, % years old,
trainman employed on the Chatham
division OF the Rutland railroad. was
caught between the pilot of locomo-
tive and car while making up a
train in the local yard Thursday af-
ternoon and received injuries from
which he died in the Troy hospital
about midnight.
At the time OF the accident it was
not evident that LIncoln's injuries
were of a fatal nature His right leg
was broken and he was hurried TO
the hospital as quickly as possible in
order to save the limb
The accident happened while the
crew was making up the train for the
return trip TO Chatham. II Is Gus
tomary to make up the train with the
mail car next TO the engine which
necessitates the transposing Of the
mail car and the two coaches at each
end of the round trip.
When the train comes into the To-
cal station from Chatham the two
coaches and the mail car are run on
TO a side track. When the train is
made up for the return trip The en-
CINE takes out the mail car runs 1t
on to another track and then connects
the two coaches in the rear Of the
mail car.
Thursday afternoon the crew had
taken out the mail or and the engine
was backing the car. as was suppos-
ed, on TO the next track The switch,
however, had not been turned, and In
stead of running on to clear track
the mail car and the two coaches
came together with a crash that was
heard throughout the yard. Lincoln
was riding on the step of the locomo-
tive and when the cars came togeth
err he was thrown from his footing in
between the engine and the mail car.
The crew and employees in the yard
at once hurried to the injured mans
assistance and he was taken TO the
office of the railroad surgeon, DR.. c.
w Bartlett. The surgeon found that
Lincoln had sustained compound
fracture OF both bones Of the right
leg As the ends of the fractured
bone were sticking through the flesh.
the surgeon realized that the man
should be hurried to hospital az
quickly as possible. Accordingly he
put on temporary splnts and Lincoln
was put on the next train for Troy.
Dr Bartlett said that he did not have
time to make a thorough examination
Of the man to ascertain whether or
not he had been internally hurt.
It was probably an injury of this ma
ture that resulted in the mans death.
When the two sections OF the train
came together the end of the mail car
was stove In and the windows in the
coaches were smashed.
The accident was due TO the failure
OF some one to throw the switch.
This duty may have belonged to Lin
coin himself o. TO some other mem
