Hou to Be a Bridge Tender
BY j. =. McENOY

no water on hand. champagne will do.
Or If 1t Is winter time and it is too
cold for water. ice may be substituted
Now that you have your bridge. all
you need to know is when to raise Il
and when to let it down.
The first principle is: Never raise n
bridge until 1t is down.
Never put il down until 1t is raised.
Second principle: The time to rnise
q bridge is when somebody is FRYING TO
make train. This operation is called
"bridging them" and it Is very impor
tant that it would be performed exactly
on timc--0np minute too soon or too
late will allow the man to catch his
train and then your reputation as bridge
tender is irrcvOcably ruined.
IF THIS is river bridge, YOU should
l. know the boat signals. One whistle
means raise the bridge" Two whis-
tics mean "bluuk it. raise the bridge. f"
Three whistles mean "hlankcty blink
raise the BRIDGE" Five or six success
sivc: short. snarly whistles mean "yon
hlinkrty- blink y" brilcn
tender. raise the bridge"
For closing the bridge all you have
to know about that Is 70 close it when
YOU get ready. just the way I close
these lessons.

GUARDING THE MAIL CARS.

Now that Y. S. marines are riding
ON railway mail cars under orders TO
shoot in case of necessity there is
grave apprehension lest some Of the
men delegated to the work will inter
pref their work with too little discrim-
nation. We read in the press reports
about an inoffensive citizen who ven
tured within few yards of the mail
car of train that was standing in the
station yard, was Spotted" by the
marine in charge OF the mail car and
was ordered away Immediately. The
offensive citizen. That sort of dis
merely wandered near the mail car
section of the train while waiting
about the station; he had no intention
Of robbing the United States mails.
But he made the fatal mistake of not
taking the guarding marine at his
word and failed to take himself away
at the command OF the guard. The re-
suit was that the marine fired, in
fiicting mortal wound on the In
eoffensive citizen. That sort of dis
cipline is wrong. Citizens have rights,
whether those rights be within few
feet of mail car or not. The gov
eminent soldiers put on trains to put
an end to the banditry that has -four
ished during the years following the
close Of the war must recognize those
rights; and the sooner the govern
ment, through its postofiice depart
ment or through its military depart
ment, acquaints the marines with those
rights the better. Soldiers of the stamp
Of the guard in the case in question
may do effective service in the stress
Of battle but they are not fit persons
in charge Of mail ears in times of
peace.
