dispatcher to do what he had already done. But
if he hadn't done what he did, No. 1 would no
doubt have passed by before the dispatcher could
have ordered him to stop her, and there would
have been a terrible head-on collision in conse-
quence.
The result to this operator of going contrary
to rules, and, in a way, disobeying orders,
promotion. He soon after became train dispatcher
on that division of the road. The company recog-
nized the fact that he was better qualified to give
orders than to receive them, as he more apt to
use his own Judgment and initiative than to obey
orders.
He is now trainmaster over the western sys-
tenn of that road.
1t must be understood that this article is not
written with the view to encourage disobedience
to orders, as everyone who is placed in position
where they are expected to obey it is their duty
to do so as far as it lays in their power. But
where man is so placed, and the opportune
moment is at hand, he should not hesitate to take
advantage of the opportunity to advance himself
honorably, even though he has to disregard GER
ain orders and rules to the contrary.

James WhitCOnb Riley

James Whitcomb Riley, one of the nations most
beloved poets, died last Saturday at his home in
Lockerbe street, indianapolis. The following an
nouncement is taken from the Saltwater Daily Ca
zette
indianapolis, Ind, July 24.-Indiana bowed
today before the bier of simple man, who without
pretense or schooling, became its first citizen.
James Whitcomb Riley, Interpreter for Hooser-
dom's most intimate emotions, lay dead in his Lock
erbe street home.
HOosiers generally were inclined to accept as
their own, the tribute telegraphed by Vice President
MARSHALL
To live for humanity that each
succeeding age will be happier is to attain immor-
tally. This is the record of James Whcomb Riley"
The body of the poet who died at his home late
Saturday night will lie in the rotunda of the state
capitol from D. m. to D. m today
The Hoosier poet died at 1850 o'clock Sat-
urday night. soon after he had passed into peace
full sleep. Death due to paralysis At 1870 am,
Saturday he suffered violent stroke but apparent
ly had recovered from this Mr.. Riley suffered
violent attack of paralysis in 1910, and his entire
right side was completely disabled.
Riley was born October Z 1S49 dying in his
sixty seventh year. The exact date of his birth was
not generally known until after his death because
the poet for unknown reason was sensitive on
the matter. Hardly had word of Riey's death been
received before Indianapolis and Greenfield his birth
place on the Brandy wine. began rivalry for the
body. There is vacant place in the Riley plot at
Greenfield and Greenfield claims that Riley wished
TO be buried there, when he wrote:
God is his own interpreter
And He will make plain
But indianapolis asserts that public reasons
favor his burial here. The Board of Directors of a
large cemetery probably will to-day to offer on
behalf of the city of the most beautiful burial
sites for the Riley grave"

When God sorts out the weather and sends rain.

And takes things as they come
That is, the commonality

They're not the boss of this concern.
