and when her name comes off mine
comes with it,
She's still there, so far as any one
knows. Perhaps that incident helps
explain why Thornton was selected to
take charge of the Great Eastern, for
the position of general manager on
an English railroad is equivalent to
that Of president of the United States.
The Great Eastern handles a great
er committing traffic than any other
road in England, and it's short haul

season, is perhaps the greatest In the.

But, according to the committing
public Of England, its directing heads

how badly the line may be blocked.
Trains are held In smoke-filled tun-
nels, rather than permit step aside
from routine procedure.
ANY one can handle engines and
cars and tunnels" said a railroad
man, but Thornton is a wonder at
handling men. That's why England
took him."
He must not only teach the railroad
using public of England to love the
Great Eastern, which entails a COM

man nature, but must also win the
loyal support Of the Great Eastern's
employees.

English Directors to Take Charge
Of Great Eastern Road, Will

New York.-"Your best chance Of
success said Henry w. Thornton,
comes when you are In your shirt
sleeves"
Thornton is the young American
railroad man who was recently picked
out to take charge Of the Great East
ern railroad in England.
The member of the board of direc-
tors who did the picking tactfully add
ed to his declaration that Thornton Ia
the best young railroad man in Amer
lea for such a position, the cause be-
ing that English railroad men have
run to seed.
They do not grow" said the d.
rector, wagging his head like a me-
chanical bear. They do not expand.
Their field of vision is limited.
However that may be-and English
railroads resolved themselves into
lodge of sorrow when they read it and
then began to gather bricks for Thorn
ton-the American youngster has
been growing and expanding ever
since he got into railroading.
After he had graduated in football
and engineering at the University OF
Pennsylvania he applied for job to
John G. Sims, then secretary Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. He
had a letter of introduction from
man of influence.
Hum" said Sims, when he read
the letter. This gets you a job, but
it don't hold the job for you, young
man. I'll carry you on the salary
list for two years. But if by that
time you haven't been promoted, salt
won't save you. l wouldn't have that
sort Of a man on the right Of way"
Thornton was on his third promo
ton at the end of two years. He has
been moving upward ever since, but
he has never gained a step by fiat

opinion of the men who have been
nearest to him Is to be taken at par.

MEDIATORS ANNOUNCE PEACE
BETWEEN u. S. AND WEXICO

Ambassador Da Cana, of Brazil,
Wednesday formally announced the
practical settlement of the conflict be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
He explained that while mediation
would take an indefinite recess await
ing the outcome of efforts by repre-
sentatives of the two Mexican fac
tions to solve the internal problems
of Mexico, the task of mediation was
not yet concluded, though an essential
part of it's work had been accom-
plished
The Ambassador spoke at lunch

the newspaper spondents. The
entire American and Huerta delega-
tions to the mediation conference
were present.
at is a source of satisfaction for
me-" said the Ambassador, ito be able
to say that one of the essential points
of our program, that dealing with the
international side of the conflict, is
practically settled. This does not i'm
ply that we go home with our task
concluded, but we feel that so far we
have averted war
1--WE have established also through
agreement between the parties most
directly interested, and in complete
harmony with the sentiments of the
Government of the United States,
that it is principle Of american pol
icy to have our national problems al
ways given fair examination and
settled without foreign interference.
We understand that if such result
has been attained, we shall have Gre

BIG COW SNAKE STOPS
CORN CUCTIVATOR.

Recently Mr.. Henry : Bunger, of
West Point, had very remarkable
experience with a COW snake while
blowing corn. The snake instead of
getting out of the way of the culti-
vator, attacked the machine and
wound itself around the axle in such
a way that the cultivator would not
work. The wheel dragged instead of
turning and Mr.. Bunger had to finally
get down and kill his snakeship. The
reptile was five feet long and large in
proportion. II Elizabethtown News.

ORIGIN OF RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS SEALS
BY DIR. III. w., HILL.

The Red Cross Christmas seals, the
sale Of which next month will mean
so much to the health of Minnesota
during the whole year, had their ORR
gin in what were then called
stamps issued in Boston in 1852 to
provide funds for the relief of SOL
diers in the Civil war. After the
war this method Of raising money
was discontinued in the United States,
but was followed in Portugal, Swift
zerland, Austria, France, Spain, Den
mark, Russia, Sweden and other Eu-
ropean countries, until now several
hundred different types of stamps are
used In different parts Of the world.
The Red Cross Christmas anti tub
erculosis seal, which is now being
used In America, is the descendant
Of that first used in the anti-tuber-
culosis work in Norway and Sweden
during the Christmas season Of 1904.
Three years after the idea was adopt,
ed in America, the first anti-tuber-
eulosis association Joined with the
Red Cross society OF Delaware. La
ter the National. Red Cross society
issued a national seal, with the, stip-
ulatton that all proceeds be used only
for :anti7tuberculosis - work. =: The
postoffice department has, approved
the seal, and it has now become one
OF the biggest factors in the ma
tons fight against tuberculosis. :.
Minnesota will place on sale four
and one-half millions of anti-tuber-
culosis Christmas seals this year,
which it sold will mean realizing
$4,000 for public health work; this
sum will be divided between state
and local work, the national society
receiving Is per cent for its nation
wide campaign.
OF these seals it may truly be said
that they are Made In America, for
American CONSUMPTION exclusive
