lowing Wednesday would be his fifty
eighth birthday; he was born of good
family in straitened circumstances; he
got his first education by home study;
he afterward taught the district

by supporting himself by any kind of
respectable employment that came to
hand; his beginning in law was I'M

but success finally had come; he made
a comfortable fortune and was elected
to the bench by both parties; yes he
was married and he had one child, a
daughter-all this very solemnly, with
numerous details snugly fitted into the
testimony.
After Witness Stake had finished his
recital Judge Stake turned him over to

were days Of racing and card playing
and other kinds of swift sport and fast
living. OF course, in your humble cir

of these things"
Witness Stake was startled, and did
not answer, and an appeal was made
to Judge Stake that the jury needed
the information. "0f COURSE" she said
sweetly, ''if the answer would tend to
incriminate the witness, he need not

done with the regular equipment such
as is used in the regular operations of
trains, telephones and telegrarhs.
There are divisions in this system for
80 students and a passageway up to
the center enables the instructor to
move from one to another for individ-
ual attention.
Three-Track System.
At present the system is three
track one, two regular lines and a con-
tinuous switch track in the center, just
like many sections of the real railroad
are built. Shortly there will be added
a fourth track, which will make it the
counterpart of the companys four
track trunk lines.
Another advantage which is given to
the students is the opportunity to hear
the messages and reports which go
over the real wires of the company, as
the lines have been tapped and receiv-
ing apparatus set up in connection with
them in the school.
Telegraphy itself is no easy subject
to master, but the equipment of the
school contains special arrangements
to enable the ready acquisition of
speed and accuracy on the part of the
students. The telegraph room is 20 by
40 feet, and down the two side walls
and the center are tables at which the

cial road, which has been constructed
for that very purpose-a miniature,
electrically operated road over which
hum freights, locals and expresses all
day long with all the businesslike
faithfulness to schedule which is nee
essary on the real railroad, telephone
bells ringing and telegraph saunders
clicking. Official reports and roders
are made out just as though the girls
were at work, as conceivably they soon
may be, in the towers between Phila-
delphia and Altoona.
Down to the smallest detail the min
iature road is complete. To casual
observer who might happen upon it by
chance, there might be an element Of
humor in the busy men and women
bending over their work along the line
of this toy railroad. To the instructors
and their classes 1t is the most serious
work, for when the novices have fully
mastered the system Of the miniature
railroad, with it's block system, it's
qualifications of reports and transac-
tons of official nature, they virtually
have mastered the system of the Penn
sylvania railroad and are potentially
able to take their places at the key
boards, the signal phones and the
switch and block towers.
In the train room the tracks are laid
on a great table built in a U-shape,
with terminals at each end. The blocks
are represented by wooden partitions,
through which are cut openings fol. the
trains to pass. All the signaling is

ner as to enable any student to enter
any speed class at the request Of the
principal without the necessity of
changing her seat. The classes are
made up of speeds, 5, 10, 10 and 20 to
20 words q minute. This is accom-
plished by having four circuits around
the room and q four-holed jack-switch
box on each table.
This undertaking of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad is not a fad, for the girls
actually work hard. The course Is not
easy and it requires from six to eight
months steady application for compile
ton. Besides telegraphy and block
signal operations, all station office de-
tail work is taught. At the end of the
course job is assured.
Other Lines Adopt Plan.
The Pennsylvania railroad is not the
only company to adopt the system of
employing women. At an Erie car
shop in Buffalo are % young women
who are taking the places Of men.
One young woman is running a bolt
cutter and is working 100 per cent
plecework.
The Baltimore & Ohio road has in
troduced woman workers in a number
of it's shops with success. 1t has also
opened positions in the freight and
passenC # terminals to women. They
work the regulation day and wear over
alls, caps and gloves while they are on
the job.

81 have always held" said the
Judge quietly, shat there should be
great liberality in cross-examinations.
BY liberality 1 do not mean latitude
any more than by liberty l mean
license, but a wise range of inquiry
that will develop not only the special
facts and circumstances, but in a way
reproduce the very atmosphere of the
incident or event. For you know, my
daughter, you may get all the facts
and still not have the truth. Any blum
derhead at law can adduce the facts,
but it takes the artist-the real touch
of genius-to bring out the truth.

study law, but it was all arranged in a
day, and she had proved not only an
apt but an enthusiastic pupil. She
looked about as much like an attor-
ney as Portia. She was tall, graceful
and beautiful, with light hair that was
forever trying to escape it's restraints,
and with the kind blue eyes that see
opportunities and find out the best
ways of encompassing them.
