"Too see, I have a warm spot in my heart for the knights sf tbe road and I don't think the aver age tramp is half aa bad at he la paint ed. We ought to do something to re form these fellows, and it ought to be done In a kindly way.

I waa running a freight engine on the Chicago divis ion of the Panhandle wbea the inci dent I aat golag to relate occurred.

If yoa have ever been over tbe Chicago dlvtetoa you noticed tbe long, steep bill above Loganspnrt. Watt, to be brief, wheal I got to where I ought to have stopped, I forgot my orders.

What stopped us? Why, the fact of the matter waa that when ws stopped to cool off that box some twenty-Are tramps boarded the train aad were sitting on top of tbe earn. When they aaw what I waa whistling about they took to totting tbe brakes, and no train waa ever stopped by air aa quick a them fellows stopped that freight When tbey saw that a terrible collision had been avert ed they began to cheer like fleada, and I could not help but Join In and cheer too.
