RAIL ROAD FOREMAN
 WINS A BOOSTER"

Four passengers about to take the New Haven's Merchants Limited were standing on the platform of the South Station in Boston one afternoon recently viewing the long train Of ten cars, the limit allowed for that train eunder the3 roads rules. Evidently the size of the train impressed one -of the group, for he made the remark that the rai1rpad was trying to ao- complish something when it attempt ed to run so many cars behind an old engine and call it a limited train.
 It SO happened that J.. P. Mosher,. one of the railroads foremen of en- zines, was standing on the platform near the group and overheard this re- mark. Walking over to the man who ant1y if he might have the privilege of correcting, if possible, the idea he had expressed. why, certainly '' said the passenger, Tim always will | ing to be corrected when I'm in the wrong -5 zine and thither the boss locomotive man led the group. The engine, ready with steam up for its trip over the rails, was a big Pacific type 1ocomo- tive, the largest and latest type in the roads service and the kind used to pull all limited trains between Bos- 1 ton and New York. Standing beside it, the locomotive foreman revealed it's points as the trainer would the lines l of the> thoroughbred showed them the latest valve gear, explained the superheater by which steam is heat ed and used over again to assist in turning the great drivers, and also a new smoke burning device which the road was testing for it's merits.
 In addition, this experienced rail- road engine man explained what was done to the big machine before 1t was attached to the train; how it was groomed for each run like the race horse and thoroughly inspected by competent mechanics before it left the roundhouse as a part of the regular railroad routine so that if it broke down on the road it would bef rom G cause which could not be- ascertaiRed 1 in advance. 53t"And now he said, understand how feel when hear such q remark as yours inasmuch as the proper perfornnance of this engine l is part of my Job.''
 1 Before taking leave of them Mosh- Ter had one question to ask It was how such an idea about the railroad l he worked for had been obtained in view of the fact that it was running more trains on time in proportion to the number operated than any other great railroad in the country. The man replied by saying that it was l from talking with people shat did not l know anything more about the true conditionfof things than he did. t'But'' he added, as he shook hands with the Road Foreman, 'T will always boost the New Haven from now on, and I wish to say that this has been a very pleasant conversation and that my only regret is that can't have l the pleasure of riding with you in that engine to New TIaven.''
 The train with its ten cars arrived in New Haven behind this locomotive exactly on time.
