LIFE OF A DEPOT AGENT
HE Duties Are Manifold and He Is
Envied by Few, According
to This.


The life OF a railway agent is one Of
roses and cinders for the most part.
Some folks think that about all he
has to do is to sell tickets and keep
the extra cent when he makes odd
change, but there are other things In
the life Of a railway agent besides
framing your face in a ticket Office
window and opening a money drawer
with doorbell on 1t, and smiling when
the folks ask him what time the 5 :03
train will be here If it's on time.
From early In the morning when he
starts the day by looking into the coal
bin at the end Of the platform to see
how much bituminous has been stolen
during the night, until shutdown, when
he starts out to hang drug store signs
on the switch posts, he is an extremely
busy man. says the Walker (Minn.)
Pilot. Between checking over freight
receipts and running the hay press
for the carbon copies Of waybills, it's
no wonder he hasn't time to build a
fire in the waiting room or rub OF last
weeks train schedule from the black
DOdTu, DSCduSc Ac ID a Uucy AAnhs
He listens to complaints with one ear
and the telegraph keys with the other,
and has been known to answer the
phone, sell steamship ticket and put
a bucket of coal In the stove all at the
same time, In order to get his work
done within the eight-hour schedule.
About the only ones to envy an
agent his job are the girls In the
town, and that's because he has such
a good chance to get acquainted with
the brakemen on all the freights.

Long Ride Before Him.

A cyclist who stopped at a village
inn boosted about his abilities as a
rider to such an extent that the land
lord ventured to make wager with
him.
"Look here, mister" said the Inn
keeper, "you can't ride up and down
this road till the church clock strikes
SIX"
Done" said the cyclist. 'Tt's just
close on FIVE now" and the next min
ute he was speeding down the road
After about an hours riding the

JUST WHAT INTERESTED BILL
Loss Of Cars and Freight Didn't Seem
to Amount to Much to Him
at the Moment.

Il was riding on a freight train
through Kansas" a Santa Fe official
relates. Il was up in the cupola Of
the caboose. Downstairs the conduc-
tor and the rear brakeman watched
carefully a pan Of beans warming
over on the old coal stove. They
waited only the return OF the head
brakeman before putting away their
luncheons, which they were taking
from their full dinner pals. The pan
OF beans was partnership dish. I
could see the head brakeman coming
down the train from the engine. Sud-
denly there was a jerk, a shock, and
saw freight cars begin to pitch from
the track and pile up In heaps. I had
a hasty vision Of the head brakeman
sailing through the air and landing
In cornheld, clear Of the right Of
way.
"Bilrs killed. /. shouted as /
clutched wildly to retain my seat
He's been thrown clear over into the
field
Gas the eaboose finally came to a
standstill, about the only car left on
the track. the conductor and the rear
brakeman rushed forward to gather
up the remains of BILL But as they
ran to him BilP picked himself up In
a dazed sort of way and was brush
ing the dirt from his eyes and his
clothes when they reached him.
There was at least $75, 900 worth
Of cars and freight piled up there In
that wreck, probably 100000 total
loss. But the question fBilp asked as
his rescuers reached him was:'
Boys, how's them beans back

Hottest Heat.

The highest temperature ever
reached by man is 9,400 degrees
Fahrenheit. This was produced by
two English experimenters. Sir Andrew
Noble and Sir T. Abel, asserts scien-
list. This was done by exploding cor
dite in a durable steel cylinder. This
was due to the suddenness Of the reac-
lion, and, although Of momentary dur
alton, it was an interesting scientific
achievement, nevertheless. With tia
aid Of cordite Sir William Crookes was
able to make small diamonds. Profes-
sor Moissan, who has produced dia-
monds, can heat his electric furnace

The census bureau finds that hum

There is story about double,
but 1t IS given little credence At the
time OF the Houndsditch murder trial.
Peters claimed that persons who
1dent1fied him mistook him for
cousin who looked very much like
him. Peters was acquitted, but, il
there was cousin double" he got
away, for police never located any
such man.
Information seeping through from
Russia by devious routes add to the
stories of Peters execution mania a
remarkable account of his changed ap-
pearance.
His suavity OF manner is gone,
these stories say, and with it his gem
ial smile. He is paler and thinner
than ever; he seems to have "shriv-
eled," one account puts it, and his
eyes no longer frankly meet those of
the visitor.
Instead, they stare with strange
light at the mass of papers on his
desk-scraps of evidence on which the
fate of hundreds depends.

the receipts to this fund or to play
