l was for years train rider. Do
you know what that means? If you
do, you are wiser than the great ma
jority, for the phrase is a new one
and covers calling somewhat
unique. A train rider l was, with all
it's jar, risk and peril, and would prob
ably be one today but for Imogene-
peerless, patient, Notwithstanding
all my joys.
A train rider is man not listed as
a railroad employee, but always on
their corporate pay roll. He is a spe-
cial officer. The pay is eighty-five
dollars per month, and fifteen dollars
extra for expenses. The work is
neither regular nor onerous, only the
train rider of a railroad division must
be at the censorious and unalterable
beck and call Of the railroad at all
odd, even or unusual hours.
In word, my functions were these:
to proceed on order to a certain train,
to locate a special freight car and I'M
til that car left the end of the division
not to allow it or it's contents to leave
my sight for single moment of time.
When l turned my watch and ward
over to the car rider of the next di-
vision my duties were completed, all
except sending in a report of any un-
toward incidents that might attend
the transmission of the car of which l
was the guardian.

Chance to "Save" Something.

That the condemnation which Gov.
Hughes has visited upon the admins
tration for creating useless commits
sions to make places for deserving
Democrats" may be productive of good
even before March 4th, is indicated by
the report from Washington that cer-
tain of the Democratic leaders have in
itiated a movement to cut the salaries
of all members of special commissions
to $500. Certain Of the Democratic
leaders predict the reduction Of the sal
aries of the members Of the Interstate
Commerce and the Federal Trade COM
missions, the Federal Reserve Board,
the Farm Loans Board and the pros
pective tariff commission to $500. in
conformity with the pay Of members
of the proposed Shipping Commission.
Republicans are very sceptical, how
ever. that any such step will be taken
unless President Wilson is defeated in
November.
