His Ambition.

Ten-y ear-old Ted made his first long
visit to the country. He was much
impressed with the returns Of farming,
but not with the work which brought
the returns. He studied the occupa-
ton of farming diligently in order to
see what part of It was easiest. And
one day he discovered what he
thought was.
Then he went to his mother. 81 al
ways said that I would be farmer
when grow up" he told her, "but
guess won't be real farmer. I
guess I'll be hog stopper"

Bio RaiIroader,s Hobby.

Carl r. Gray, the new president of
the Union Pacific system, has one
hobby-that Is his family In which
he takes the greatest interest and
pride. "When his two boys, who are
now at college. were attending pre-
paratory school at Baltimore" says J.
G. Donley, Jr., in Forbes Magazine,
"he never missed baseball or foot
ball game in which the school team
participated unless he was away from
home. And he knew every boy on the
teams by his first name. One of his
greatest delights was to get out on
the baseball field on summer evening
and bat flies to his boys. When not
on the road or In his Office, he spends
all of his time with his family"
