Nice Words from his Associates.

The following nice little writeup
Of Mr.. Jno. L. Kirby, former loco
motive engineer on the |. c., now
the affable and efficient postmaster
at this place, is taken from the
April No. Of the Locomotive En-
gineers Journal, and tells in q few
words how highly Mr.. Kirby was
esteemed by the boys who ride up
in front:
"The accompanying picture is
that of Bro. J L. Kirby, one of the
most popular members of Div. SO,
b. of L. E. He entered the service
of the Illinois Central Railroad in
1891 as fireman, was promoted in
1895, and joined Div. SO B. of l..
e. in 1896. and has been q most
active and interested member.
He has served this Division as
chief Engineer for the past nine
years in amanner which has done
credit both to himself and to the
Division. He was ever ready to
lose 8 trip to attend meetings, and
took an active interest in all
Brotherhood AFFAIRS He was also
delegate to the Detroit and Harris
burg Conventions, and served one
term as chairman of the Local Com
mittee of Adjustment. He retired
from active service as an engineer
in June, 1914, to accept the ap-
pointment as postmaster at Water
Valley, Miss.
While we regret to lose him as
an active member, we feel safe in
saying that he will make the public
a most efficient servant, and feel
that in his selection our organiza-
|tion has been greatly honored." T"

up at him on the foam-fiecked circus
horse, that cowboy impressed me. He
was an altogether unusual figure, chock-
full of temperament. He wore neither
chaps nor spurs, but he had on the high
est-heeled boots I've ever seen. Stuck
into the loose, elaborately stitched tops
of the boots were his yellow sour-dough
overalls; and, above that, a clean gray
flannel shirt, unrelicved at the neck by
handkerchief or tie. His hat was huge,
handsome black Stetson; and the coat
tied in tight roll on his saddle-well, all
can say of that is that it was evidently
a black frock. If you could have got by

my head and feet. First and last, we

in the great golden gray-green spaces of
