NEW FUNCTION FOR RAILROAD
Photooraphs of Scenic Views Are Now
Employed to Please the Prospec-
tive Traveller.

Nowadays the railway man does
something more than oil and repair
locomotives. run trains, keep roadbeds
in repair, and prepare timetables. lie
also takes photographs.
This is because the modern railway
man has come TO broad understanding
of his function. He Is not merely a
transformed bus driver. He is mer-
chant. He sells transportation, as a
piano dealer sells pianos. and he de-
Sires to make his product attractive
The beautiful casing Of a piano does
not add TO its musical qualities, but II
makes the prospective purchaser
pleaSed with it in advance and content
ed with it after he purchases 1t. A
photograph does not transport pas
senger or make his journey safe. but
it pleases the prospective traveller aud
adds an element to his journey which
makes it more valuable to him both
in anticipation and in memory.
But the railway man is even more
than a merchant. He is as truly as an
officer of the government social serv-
ant. Civilization Is product OF
travel. Whoever not only promotes
travel but helps to give it significance
Is n Ieadr in civilization. And this is
what the railway man does.
1t is in this capacity, not merely as
n merchandiScr of motion, but as an
pnlarger of the environment of men and
teacher of what travel has to offer to
mems minds and souls, that the rail-
way man employs the camera.-From
the Outlook.

"TIRED BUSINESS MAN" MYTH
Here Are a Few Facts That Throw
Cold Water on Appellatlon That
Was Always Silly.

A chronlcally tired business man Is
an anomaly. There amt no such ami.
NAL. Nobody believes In him. A man
who Is tired the round of the clock
from what he is pleased to call over
work-who gets up tired, and goes to
bed tired, and does all his living In a
tired way, Is entitled to call himself
by as many names as he pleases; but
he mustn't call himself a business
man-not unless he wants to be the
object of smiles like any other incon-
gruity. 1t may not be just, but It's So.
Moreover, 1t is perfectly just in a vast
majority Of cases.
Ninety per cent Of the business men
who deceive themselves into the no.
tion that they are tired because they
overwork are tired because they don't
take care Of themselves, and they don't
take care Of themselves because they
are too lazy and indolent to do 1t. In
other words, many so-called business

tired, an outwardly respectable hobo
In q white collar He plays the fat

way of telling the fat boy that If he
will eat less. take some exercise, shake
his liver and act like normal boy he
will yawn less.

that work, other things being equal, is

the cause of them. 1t can become 9TH

At Salem.

AZ OdlCIT.
The plantation Of Salem was In a
region below the Pedro plains in the
parish of st. Elizabeth, where grow
the aloe. and torchthistle, and clumps
of wood which alter the appearance
Of the plain from the South Downs
of England, but where thousands of
cattle and horses even In those days
were maintained. The air of the dis
trict was dry and elastic, and 1t FL
tered down to the valleys near like
that where Salem was with its clus-
ters Of negro huts and offices, its mills
and distilleries where sugar and rum
were made. Salem was situated on
the Black river accessible by boats
and canoes. The huts of negro slaves
were near the sugar mills, without
regard to order, but in clusters Of ba-
mana. avOcadO-pear. lines and oranges,
and with the cultivated land round
their huts made an effective picture.
Every plantation had surgeon who
received small sum for attendance
on every slave, while special cases Of
midwifery, incubation, ETC., had par
ticular allowance. The surgeon had
to attend to about four hundred to
five hundred negroes, on an income Of
ESQ per annum, and board and lodg-
ing and washing, besides what he made
from his practice with the whites.
Salem was no worse than some 9TH
er plantations on the island, but it was
far behind such plantations as that
owned by Dyck Calhoun, and had been
notorious for the cruelties committed
on it. To such an estate lady like
Shella Llyn would be boon. She was
not on the place a day before she
started reforms which would turn the
plantation into model scheme.
Houses, food. treatment Of the negroes
became at once study to her, and
her experience in Virginia was inval-
liable. She had learned there not to
work the slaves too hard in the warm
period of the day; and she showed her
interest by having served at her own
table the fayorite Olio the slaves made
Of plantains, bananas, yams, calalue,
eddoes, cassavi, and sweet potatoes
boiled with salt fish and favored with
cayenne pepper. This, with the un-
ripe roasted plantain as bread, was
native relish and health-glving food.

Mrs. Llyn, we are not children, you
and l. You know life, and so do l,

She interrupted him. "Be sure of
this, Mr.. Calhoun, she knows life even
better than either of us. She Is. and
has always been, a girl Of sense and
judgment. When she was a child she
was my master, even in Ireland. Yet
she was obedient and faithful, and
kept her head in all veXed things.
She will have her way, and she Will
have it as she wants it, and in no
other manner. She is one Of the
worlds great women. She is unique.
Child as she Is, she still understands
all that men do, and does It."
"Why does she not marry? Is there
no man she can bear? She could have
