American to Tell England How
to Run Railroad.
Henry Worth Thornton, Picked by
English Directors to Take Charge
Of Great Eastern Road, viii
Demonstrate U. S. Methods.

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 is
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 di-
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 a
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

Labertesque, Modern D'Artagnan
Dead in Paris-Fights Whole
Town Council.

s-Labertesqu is dead, and
with his death figure that belonged
to old French romance has passed
away, for Labertesque was Cyrano de
Bergerac and d'Artagnan rolled into
one, and set down on the Paris boule-
wards, where he kept alight for years
the fame of chivalry, gallantry and
picturesque swashbuckling.
Though his clothes we're the pro-
sale garb Of modernity, his spirit be-
longed to the days Of cloak and ruffie,
when men drew swords on a quarrel
and spitted their opponents deftly. He
was the hero of 200 duels.
Tall and broad, with brown face,
he staggered along the boulevards a
few years ago, ready to pick a quarrel
with anyone whose presence was OBJ
noxious to him and ask for satisfac-
ton at the point Of the sword. His
manner was grandiloquent and au-
thoritative.

his division had climbed on to the
tender, where h had no business to
be, just before the engiae rolled into
the ditch. The baggageman was
killed, leaving a destitute family.
Give me $1,000 for the widow and
kids" Thornton asked of headquarters.
Not a nickel" said headquarters
coldly. 1T was the baggageman's S
fault that he was killed"
Maybe" said Thornton, with the
big jaw setting. But meanwhile a
young widow and three boys are in
denger Of starvation. I'm going to
put her on my payroll at S45 a month,
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 its short haul
business, during the summer resort
season, is perhaps the greatest in the
world.
But, according to the committing
public of England, its directing heads
assay heavily in pure bone Ticket
sales are never stopped, no matter
how badly the line may be blocked.
Trains are held in smoke-filled tun-
nels, rather than permit a 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-
plete reversal of all the laws of hui
man nature, but must also win the
loyal support of the Great Eastern's
employees.
In a way, American railroaders and
their methods will go on trial with
Thornton in England This may not
seem fair, but it is the fact.

John c. Sims, then secretary of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. He
had a letter of introduction from a
man of influence.
Hum" said Sims, when he read
the letter. This gets you job, but
1t 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 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
terry, back-bending or lying, if the
opinion of the men who have been
nearest to him Is to be taken at par.
On the other hand, he hasn't hesi-
tated to fuss with his superior officers,
and fussing with the official family of
the Pennsylvania railroad is common
ly reputed to be as dangerous an oc-
cupation as biting the tip of stroke
of lightning.

see a cloak and sword behind his
lounge suit. He rolled his name
grandly as he delivered his challenge
to those who were luckless enough tc

would say.
He achieved an instant notorietJ
when he came to Paris, for he began
his career by fighting the whole towr
