MISS BECKY’S HOME. Miss Becky was going to the “Old Indies’ home” at lost. It was a sorry fact, but there was nothing else for her to do, it seemed. Who would think of offering any other home to a poor, almost helpless old woman, who had outlived her usefulness. Having passed her days'in other people’s houses, so to speak, she might not mind it as much, perhaps, as a more fortunate being. ' ' _ “Yes,” she said, there’s a vacancy in the ‘Old Ladie's’ home,’ and the 8100 that Parson Amory left me will pay my way in, but it wouldn’t last long if I began to spend it, ybu know, and I shall have a warm bed and my regular meals without worrying about where the next oue's coming from. I’m ’most tired worrying about ways and means. Seems as though I had been about it all my life; ever since father was taken with heart disease hearing the class in algebra. Now that the rheumatism has got the better of me, so that I can’t work in cold weather, and the doctor says it’ll draw my fingers so that I can’t use them soon, it doesn’t seem as if there was anything left for me in this world but the Home—and I ought to be thankful for that.” Miss Becky had had other expectations in her heyday, when young Larry Rogers met her and carried her basket; when his strong arm paddled her down the broad river to church on Sunday mornings;. when they sang together in the choir from the same hymn book; when they loite'red homeward in the fragrant summer dusk, and heard the whip-poor-will complain and Startled the fireflies in tho hedges as they brushed by. It sometimes seemed to‘Miss Becky as if all this had happened in another planet. She was young then, with’a bloom on her cheek; but, although the rheumatism had bent her figure and rendered her more or less hopeless at times yet her dark, ‘velvety eyes looked out like soft stars, and the ghost of a dimple still flickered on her cheek and chin ' in spite of her sixty odd years. Miss Becky’s father had been the district school teacher in those for of! days of her girlhood. He had taught her the simple lore at his command, but it was Lorry Rogers who had taught her music; hour after hour in the empty school house they had practiced together, while he wrote the score on the blackboard. Butallthisbnd not sufllcedto enableher to earn a livelihood. Her education, musi- cal uud otherwise, had stopped short of any commercial value. In those days she never expected to earn'hor living by the sweat of her brow. Larry. was going to give her everything. How trivial the little quarrel seemed today which circumvented this final resolve of his. But what magnitude it had assumcd’ut the time! On his return from a trip to a neighboring city some busybodv had whispered to Larry that Miss Becky had been driving with Squire Eustis' son Sam behind his trottcrs. Sam was just home from college, a harum scarum fellow, they said, who made love right and left and gambled a bit; and when harry reproached her with it she had not denied; she had simply said: “What then! If you choose to listen to gos- sip ratherthnn wait till you”—' “But you didn’t tell me, and I’ve been here a week” “I had forgotten all about it till. you re- minded mo.” said Becky. ‘ ~ “It’s such an every day affair for you to drive with Sam Bustisl” which incredulity so stung Becky that she would not condo- sccnd to explain that she had carried some needlework up to Squire Eustis’, which she had been doing for his wife, and that us she left to walk home Sam was just starting OH with his smart chaise and new dapplo greys, and the squire had said: “Take Miss Becky homo, Sam, and Show her their paces ;” and how she had been ashamed to refuse their kindness, although preferringfownlk u thou- sand times; and how, once in the chaise, Sam had been the very pink of courtesy, and begged her to drive over with him to Parson Amory, three miles out of her way, “that Lucy Amory may see you don’t disdain my company. For you see,” said Sam, who was not as black as he was painted, or us many liked to suppose, “Lucy can make me what she will; without her I shall be nothing and nobody; but they’ve told her ‘ all kinds of wild things about me; they’ve told her she might as well jump into the river as marry such ascapegraoe. And, perhaps, if I made her a little jealous—you know there’s no harm in that, is there! Ali's fair in love; and, perhaps, if the old folks see me driving about with Becky Thorns my stock may go up, and I may be ‘snved from the buming,’ as Parson Amory says.” And Becky had consented. How could she refuse to do a service for such a true lover? So slight a thing, too! She had often traversed the same road since on foot, on her daily rounds of toil and mercy. Sum Eustis had married Lucy Amory years ago, and was the foremost man in the county to- day. Strange how that drive had interfered with Miss, Becky’s prospects; how that sini- ple fact of carrying homo Mrs. Eustis’ nee- dlework should have determined her fate and devoted her to a life of hardship and the Old Ladies’ home at the end! Talk of trifiesl Poor Miss Becky! She remembered once or twice the opportunity had offered when she might have made it up with Larry; but pride, or asort of fine reserve, had locked her lips. Larry ought to know that she was above silly flirtatious. Once, when they met at Lucy Amory’s wedding, when they all went. out into the orchard while the bride planted ayoung tree and the guests looked for four'leaved clovcrs, she had found herself —whether by accident or design she could not tell-on the grass beside Larry; their fin- gers met on the same lucky clover. their eyes met above it, and for an instant she had it on her tongue’s end to confess all about the drive and its results, to put pride in her pocket; but just then Nell Amory called to “01;, a horrid spider—on my arm, Lorry! Kill him quick—do! Oh! obi obit-Ismail, die—I shall faint!” And that was the eudof it. The old orchard, with’its, fragrantquince bushes. its gm. Merriam racism ‘ " “ put some stitches into the widow‘s wardr'obo, which nobody else would do “reasonably,” that lady’s grief having incapacitated her from holding a needle or giving her mind to material details of “scam and gusset and hand.” But during the visit Miss Becky had been seized with her sharpest attacks of rheumatism, which had kept her in bed for weeks, till her wages were exhausted by drugs and doctor’s fees. It was at this time that she made up her mind to go into the Home on her return to Plymouth. , Mrs. Dwight saw her of! at the station. “I hope you’ll find the home cozy,” she said, outside the car window. “It’s lucky Parson Amory left you that 8100, after all. He might have doubled i " “Yes, I suppose so,” Miss Becky answered meekly. Perhaps she was thinking that, if she were Mrs. Dwight, no old friend of hers should go begging for a refuge at an aims- houso. Perhaps she was thinking of the pretty, comfortable home waiting for her friend, and wondering why their fortunes were so. unlike. ‘ “Write when you reach Plymouth, and let me know 'how you’re suited," said Mrs. Dwight, and just then the cars gave It lurch and left her behind, and Miss Becky turned her glance inward. Somebody had taken a seat beside her. “Your friend was speaking of Person Amory and Plymouth," he said. “I couldn’t help hearing. I was born in Plymouth myself, but I haven’t met a soul from there these, twenty years. I am on my way to look up my old friends." “Twenty years is a. long time,” answered Becky. “Iamafraid you won’t find many of your friends loft. You’ll hardly know Plymouth.” “I suppose not-I suppom not. Have you lived there long?" “I? I have lived there all my days.” “Good! I’m hungry for news of the M ple. Tell me everything you can think .of. Did Parson Amory leave a fortune? He was called close. Where’s Miss Nell, married or dead! I can see the old place in my mind‘s eye, and the parsonage under the’ elnis, and the orchard behind it where Lucy Amory planted a young tree on her wedding day, and the gown little Becky Thoriie wore. By the way, is she alive? Do you know her!" Miss Becky hesitated on instant. _ “Yes," she replied; “I know her-more 0 less. Sheds alive.” , ' “And married? She must be 60 odd: she was a pretty creature, such—l suppose they are wrinkles now! Where have the years gone? Is her home in the old plaice still!“ “Her homel” said Miss Becky, flushing it little. “She hasnoxic: she is on her way to. the Old Ladics’ home.” “To the Old Ladies’ home! Becky Theme 3" ho gasped. “And I”-— ” “You seem to have known her putt y well,” said Becky, who was beginning to _cii- joy the incognito. “I should think so. I‘ve loved Bock y Theme from my cradle. We had a silly qinrrel which parts-d us; such a trifle, when I look back. Do you ever look back, iiiadaniji" The twilight was telling about them; Becky’s face had grown a shade or two Ionic: all at once; she turned her dark, velvety eyes full upon him’ with a startled air. “You?” _ she said. “You must be Lari-y Rogers!" Then the color swept to her checks in a crimson wave. “Do you know, I ncvér thought you had grown old like lilySL-ln Don’t you know me? I am Becky 'i‘lim'ucl” Just then the train thundered through the tunnel and they forgot they were “si xty odd.

London Vampires ‘Vho Maire a Living Out of American Business Enterprises. It has recently come to the knowledge of American capitalists and promoters that there is n systematic and carefully "planned bureau of blackmail in existence in London, the workings of which are concealed from the public, but which have proven a thorn in the side of numerous American enter- prises So far as known, the head of the bureau is a. man who moves in fair, business and social circles in London nndhasinflu- once in two or three newspaper offices, in- cluding a “financial" paper. He has a num- ber of correspondents on this side of the water, where he formerly lived for n unmoj ber of years. They keep him informed as‘to Americans who go abroad to raise money for the promotion of enterprises of various kinds. The minutest details of these enterprises are ascertained by these correspondents, in order to find any possible flaws. 0n the arrival of an American in London, to present to the bankers there any scheme of financial cooperation, ho is called upon by the head of the bureau, who delicately proffers his services. If these are accepted and terms agreed upon sufficiently exorbi- tant, all goes well. If not the unfortunate American finds his project emailed in is part of the prom and attacked in circles where the blackmailers move. Often he, turns about and comes home disgusted, realizing how hopeless it is to‘fight awayfrom home. If he shows battle he‘ may expect to be bled by lawyers. If he buys peace, as he can, an army of smaller blackmailers spring up to stick him. His best course is to ignore them all, of course. But few men have the courage to do that. A shrewd American promoter who told of these things from experience, added this ad- vice: “The best way to be rid of the vam- pires is to keep yourself and your projeCt is secret. If you go to London to raise money, go to an obscure hotel and take lodgings. Keep away from clubs-and exchanges. Deni only with the bankers. Give them the fullest opportunity of‘investigation. When you get your money come away as secretly as you went. Why, I got 895,000 in London once, and had a bogus suit brought to enjoin the from carrying it out of the country until, I should have settled a commiulon bill I has! . never dreamed of centracta’iig."—‘~New Ycrk Tribune.

Since then sheh'adgone out for daily sewing, had watched the sick, had been in demand for a temporary house- keeper whenever a tired matron wished an outing; but lately her eyes no longer served her for fine work, and sewing machines had been introduced; she was not so alert in the sick room as of yore; she moved more slowly, and her housekeeping talent was no longer in request; added to this, the bank where her little earnings had been growing. one day failed and left her high and dry. Some of her friends had travelal to pastures now, some had married away, seine had ignored or forgotten her. As for Larry Rogers, ho had been away from Ply- mouth this mnuy a year. Somebody had sent him abroad the year after Lucy Amory’s marriage to develops his musical genius. He had grown into a, famous violinist, plowing fill over the country to crgwded houses, be- fore the finest people in the land. It was is beautiful romance to Miss Becky to read in The Plymouth Record about 0111' “‘gifted townsmanf‘ she did not blame him because shesat in the shadow, because her life hurl been colorless. She sang again the old tunes he had taught her, and made alittle sunshine in her heart. All of happiness she had ever known he had bi‘imgbt her. Why should she complain? And now she was going to the Old Ladies home. “It isn't exactly what I expected in my youth," she said to the old doctor‘s widow. “No; but you’ll have a nice room and a bright flre, and the neighbors will drop in to see you and make it homelike. Now, there’s old Mrs. Gunn. Nothing can persuade her to go to the home. She says it’s only a gen- teel almshouse after all; and so she rubs along with what little she can earn and what the neighbors have a mind to send in, and they have to do it mighty gingerly, too, just as though they were asking a favor of her. Lor’, she doesn’t earn her salt." “I dare say," returned Miss Becky. “Now, if it hadn’t been for the rheumatism I‘ could can my living to:- years yet, and'may be get something ahead again; but it seems as if the rheumatism ‘laid in wait for the poor and friendless.” ‘ “You ought to have married when you were young, Becky,” said the doctor’s widow, who had forgotten all about Becky’s love affair, and labored under the impression that she never had a chance—nu impression which matrons are apt to entertain concerning their single friends.

Paint is 9. standard preservation of shingles, and the thrifty Jer- sey or Pennsylvania farmer jumped at the chance of getting his roots painted for noth- ing. Then competition stepped in.

Ruth's Estimate of Harold and Paine-Accident to an Assassin’s Ite- rvolver-rbfrs. Surratt's Wondel'dful Self- Control—Mistake of no:- Counsel. Capt. Christian Bath, of Detroit, is a re- markable man. He served his country from 1862to 1865, and closed his military career by hanging the four conspirators condemned to death for the murder of Abraham Lincoln. For this he was breveted major and lieuten- ant-colonel of United States volunteers. Capt. Bath is rather small immature, but not u'tfnll insignificant, as‘mauy small men are. Hols, moreover, a well built soldier, .with clear cut, resolute features, and -a round, neatly trimmed,”Gra.nt-like board. “I could sit and talk about those people for a wholb day,” said Capt. Bath. “I know enough about-them to fill volumes. I had charge of those prisoners through their en- tire confinement, and at the last superin- tended their execution, so I had a good op- portunity to study them. I always regarded Harold as an unthinking boy—a spoiled child. He was a great sportsman, though, fond of shooting, and ‘ the owner of a splen- did pointcr dog. We kept the dog for him in the prison, and at his death he left it to Gen. Hartranft. ' ‘ “There was Paine“ I liked that menu You ' know. he was wounded at Gettysburg, taken prisoncr, brought into Washington and po- rolell there. He was. a magnificent man— big, strong, kind and generous, with an iron resolz. Or, and a voice andmanner as soft as I liked Paine. When the pris- 0.1cr: were hooded and shackled toprcvent tlic..i uni dishing their brains out ‘against the l...)2;¢ walls, Paine was the only one who never begged to have the .hood and shackles taken- o" The heat and discomfort must have been intense, but he never murmured. I tell you that man was a hero. He would have murdered a' dozen men—would have waded through blood—and yet I believe he was thoroughly unselfish. The Confedpracy was all and everything to him. “ You will probablyromember that to Paine was assigned the assassination of Seward. He broke through, Seward‘s door, knocked young Seward down with the stock of his big revolver, and cut the old man severely with a bowie knife. To this day the world has' never hénrd- why he did not use his‘revolver to shoot Seward. ' ‘1 can tell wh} In striking young Seward the pin of the revolver was bent very slightly, but enoughto prevent the chambers from turning, and, consequently, to. shackle the lock. I tried the revolver myself nfterward,- Every chamber was loaded, but the haihiner could not be raised. The blow :whicli knocked the young man over was, without doubt,tho means of saving his fath- er’s life". Paine thought that he had killed the old man. He was never undec'eived until brought into court at the first trial. There he saw Seward, and realised that he had failed. ' He did not exhibit either pleasure or regret. ' - “Paine lay for two days conceded in the trenéhes outside washingtOu. .At rm nature gave out. He returned to the city, took refuge in Mrs. Surratt’s boarding house, and was concealed in the cellar when a searching" party entered the house-mi found him. He was carried before Mrs. Suintt, who do- clarcd that she had never seen 'him before. It was Shawn that he had‘been'ono of her, boarders, and these two facts formed the strongest barrier to her pardon. - Paine was dreadfully cut up about it. . He held himself responsible for her position, and when the chances of reprieve grew slight, cursed his weakness in returning to her house over and over again. ’ “ ‘If I had two lives,’ he said, ‘I would let them both go to save her.’ 'I mentioned that to Maj. Eckert, who told Secretary Stanton. Paine was sent for at umeetiug of the council and interrogated, 'with'a view, I think, of bringing out facts which might justify Mrs. Barrett’s pardon, or at least a commutation of lien sentence. " - ' “Mrs. Sumtt was, I think, always actu- ated by the purest motives. ' She was shown some favor as being a. woman. The rest of the conspirators were fed on army rations, but she was allowed to choose what she ->wishcdfrom the generalizable. MraSnrmtt was a. small, plump, pretty brunette, with flashing dark eyes and u will like steel. Ire- mcniber ono incident 'of her imprisonment which will give you some idea of herstrength of mind. You will remember that a part of the old district penitentiary had been rigged up as a court house, while the other part was used as a. military prison. Well, after Mrs. Surratt and her daughter, a charming girl of 16 years, had been separated for three months, they 'were allowed an in- terview, which was to last two hours. Mia Surratt came to the prison" in the afternoon, and I Conducted her to a room adjoining the court room, where Mrs. Sun-stir was writing. The girl just went over and sat down on her mother’s lap' and began to cry. I went away then; I didn’t want to stay. and did not go ucar them again until some time after the two hours was up. When I took the girl away she was still crying, and I noticed that Mrs. Surratt had not shed a fear. I won- dered at that. The girl cried all the way home to the Catholic institution where she lived, and you can believe it made me feel bad. . . When I returned, I spoke to Gen. Hat-tranft and mentioned what seemed thine the almost hcaI-tlessness of Mrs. Surratt. Then the gen- eral told rife that the little girl had Scarcely left tho-prison when Mrs. Surrutt threw her- self down in convulsions ofiv’s‘uch grief as ho had never dreamed of before. It seems hard to imagine the struggle that. woman must have undergone to control herself through that; long interview. “There are few people who know how nearly Mrs. Surratt came to 'a reprieve, fol- lowed by u commutation of sentence. There was a strong sentiment in her favor, and, I think, some doubt, as to the degree of her guilt. I will never believe that she was privy to Lincoln’s murder. She approved, I think, of his proposed abduction, but never of his new ‘nntion. "Tb. night before the execution was when they had Paine up before the council. Next morning Mrs. Surratt’s counsel had Gen. Hancock arrested in a civil procem char-flung him with having illegal possession of Surrntt’s body. The country was under martial law at the time, and the proceeding was absurd. Nevertheless, I think it turned the scale against Mrs. Sumtt. The execu- tion was fixed for 1 p. m., but before Hancock was released, which was done without cere- mony by a sergeant and a squad of men, it had rung 3 o’clock. Hancock came hurrying in and mid to me: “ ‘Go ahead, captaiu.’ I ran up to him. IWhat, general,’ I said, ‘Her, toot “ ‘Yes.’ said Gen. Hancock, ‘she can’t he saved.’ “And so, I believe through her cotmsel’s- foolishness, Mrs. Sumtt was hanged. “I never knew Booth, but I always thought he was actuated rather by a desire for, fame than for the good ’of the Confederacy. - He was an emotional kind of a follow, you un- derstand, and I think wantedto be libero.”— Cor.

Nearly half a centuryogotho czar rewarded the tribe by making all Cossacks in'his service his special life guard. Altogether the most brutal and ignorant, the Cossack Mirna given the most conspicuous position in all this great army. Whenever you see Alexander III you see a swarm of Cossacks about him, riding over pedestrians, slashing their sabers in the air, and holding high and arbitrary authority. They have complete village and exercise it to the fullest exteht. mum some! rumsmm. A Comack soldier is grdnted complete im- munity against punishment for all but the highest crime, which is murder in cold blood. - If he wantonly murders an innocent and un- offending citizen or companion he is court- martialed and probably imprisoned for three or six months, but it is extremely difficult to convict him when once arrested. He is fur- nished a horse, clothing and rations when stationed in a city, but he is given no salary, and rations only when he' cannot forage. About one-fourth of them are supplied by the hands of the czar, while nearly 100,000 of ‘ them are privileged to go about the country andintho name of the czar pillage and plun- der. They hold up strangers, commit burg- lary sometimes and demand at the hands of the people the best there is to live upon. It is useless to make complaints of their depre- dntions, as they are legalized.

ThoBaroness Bartlett-Corina has written an introduction toareport of the third year’s work of , the London society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children. The variety of cruelty which the .erimmittee has punished and tried to punish is as follows: Immersing a dying boy in a tub of cold water for nearly ”honeyed get thisdying ddnef’ breaking a girl’s arm while beating her with a broom stick, then setting‘her to scrub the floor with the broken arm foldedito her breast and whipping her for being so long about it; hangingunnked boy by tied hands from a hook at the ceiling, there flogging him; savagely heating with loin ‘ belt, taking with fists, and 'then kicking in the groin, on the abdomen and face with working boots; lash- ing'n 8-year-old face and-neck with dray- man's whipg’o'S-yomold back beaten with whalebone-riding whip; throttling a. boy", producing partial strangulation to stop the screams of his pain; beating on scarcely hedcd old sores, then thrusting the knob of n. poker into the lsd‘s throat, and holding it there “to stop the row.”—London Letter.

But thereisn’t one pound of feathers used in beds today where there were twenty ten years ago. Asthma and hay fever have done a great deal to lessen the demand for feather beds and pillows, for it was dis- covered nfew years ago that feathers and asthma loved to consort, and that nothing would start an asthmatic to wheezing so quickly and with such volume of sound as a couch of geese, feathers.

The Period of Retarded Growth. It will be noticed that whereas the age of ' most retarded growth for the boyisabout 13, and the age of most rapid growth (after the first two or three years) is about 16, the corresponding ages for girls seem to be dbout 12 and 13 respectively. The, period of retarded growth seems to lastlongcrwith boys than with girls. A more important portion of the totalgrowth seems, on the average, to begained by‘boys between the ages of 13 and 16 than by the girls between the ages of 12 and 15 (their time usually of ‘ most rapid growth).

It is told of James Nasmyth, the'famous English engineer, that when he was travel- ing in Sweden, where he knew not one word of the language, and where his English was as little understood, he used to order his din- ner at the inn by drawing in his sketch book whatever he wanted. For example, he would draw a table cov- ered with lcioth, and .a cooked. fowl (smok- ing hot)" upon lit, with vegetal‘il‘e's,~ bread, cheese, salt andganythlng else-s pressing ap- petite might suggest as desirable.

THE OFFICIALS, GREAT' AND SMALL, wr-ro MANAGE A are RAILROAD. Mysterious Rules with Which It Takes Time to ‘Form an Acqiialutnnce—Work Done by Suliorrlmates—Presidents Who Earn Their Salaries. Very few persons comprehend or in any way understand the organization and man- agement of the large railway systems which are now such an important factor in the commercial affaiis Of the country. The‘ gen- eral organization is about the same on all the large systems, there being, however, some differeuée in titles of department oili- cers and matters of detail, according to the fancies of the directory or president, or the peculiar necessities of each case. As the properties in this country are iowncd by private individuals, who naturally try to obtain the best service at the least cost, it is presumable that no extravagant or unneces- sary positions or departments are provided. ' It is usually thought that the (presideiit of a large system has an easy place to fill, and really gets a. large salary to do comparatively nothing. In many cases this is true, and that dignitnry is nothing more or less than a figurchend, whose duties are performed by a vice-president or general manager, and who may not have the slightest knowledge of the '_manner in which the business is carried on, 'e'xcep': that.“ the annual stockholders’ meet.- ing'ho will present them an elaborate state. mcnt cross-hinge and expenditures, which has been formulated and prepared for him. Such presidents are, however, rare, and nearly all of themearntheir salaries. Really, the president should be the financial head of the company, and it is usual for him to dele- gate to a general manager the management and operation of the road. The officer is, therefore, necessarily a practical railroad man, and from him the officers of all the de- partments receive their instructions. run sunonnma’rn OFFICIALS. These departments are the accounting, sometimes presided over byn comptroller, who may report either to the general. man- ager or the president; the traffic department, which may have for its head a traffic mun- ager, assisted by general freight agents and general passenger agents; the operating, in charge of a general superintendent. The accounting department is the one in which all accounts are kept, and the auditor, who either assists the comptroller, or where there is no comptroller, is responsible to the gen- eral manager, who receives an impression copy of each “way bill," which shows the name of the shipper, the point of shipment, the name of the consignee, the destination, the marks and the weight and freight charges oil each consignment carried over the road. This way bill be scrutinizos c fully, and sees that the charges are in ac- cordance with the rates announced by the general freight agent. If they are found correct, he makes from them numerous rec- ords, crediting agents or connecting rail— roads, and- charging others. The ticket agents send hitn either daily, weekly or monthly reports of their sales, which are checked with the tickets forwarded to him , by conductors when taken up on trains. The operating department is one of the most important on a railroad, as the success of the whole depends on its efiiciency. The general superintendent is assisted bye. su- perintendent of roadway,a.superintendent of machinery and a superintendent of trans- portation. The superintendent of roadway has charge of all tracks, and usually all bridges and buildings pertaining to the track department,'nlthough some roads provide a separate officer who looks after bridges alone. The superintendent of roadway is assisted by roadmasters, who have charge of divisions, varying according to the physical features of the truck. These roadmustei‘s direct all work performed on their divisions by section foremen and trackmen. The superintendent of machinery has charge or all locomotives, and is responsible for the performance of proper service. He also has charge of en- ginernen. firemen and machinists. . The superintendent of transportation has charge of the movement of trains over the line, appoints conductors, brakemen, agents and train dispatchers, distributes cars where they are needed, and is generally responsible for the safe and speedy movement of prison- gore and ‘freight. He is assisted by train masters, whose duties vary on many lines, but they are generally immediately under the direction of the superintendent of trans- portation. ' ran TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT. _ The traffic department is really the com~ mercial department. It is divided betweena general freight agent and a general passen- ger agent, both of whom report to and re- ceive their instructions from a. traflic man- ager, or where there is no tramc manager from the general manager. The general freight agent has charge of the fixing of rates for transportation of freight, and un- der his Supervision soliciting agents and traveling agents watch the movement of truflc and secure to the road such of itas can be controlled. All necla'mations for loss, damage or overcharge on freight while in transit are adjudged by him. ‘ The general pasenger agent supervises the passenger trafllc in the same manner that the general freight agent provides for, the freight businem, it being his duty to see that his railroad is properly and sufficiently ad- vertised; that it is represented impartially in the ticket oflloes of all connecting lines, and tosupervise the printing and supplying of such tickets to the agents of his line as the needs of its patrons demand. These ofiicers of the freight and passenger departments have their hands full, as 'do all othersin charge of departments. There is a chief clerk who issupposed to ,do a. little of everything, from answering the telephone to discussing a knotty problem of policy toward some refractory competitor or connection with his superior, so as to carry out that gentleman’s ideas. As a. rule the heads of departments are young men, and the demands on the brains and strength of these ofiicers areso severe that they seldom die in the service from old They are well though not extrava- gantly paid, the salary varying aécording to the size of the road. The clerks in the de- partments are usually men of ability, and are generally well informed. Each is fitted by natural talents, experience and education for some particular kind of work, and is not sup to know much of the duties per- formed by other mem—CourierJournsl. _ Tales Told by Servants.
