With hand upon the throttle,
keenly gazing straight ahead.
They always hail him hero; say he's
Ignorant of fear;
But he's only minding orders, and
his signals, white or red.
But tho man who hears the burden
is the man you never see
Seated in a stuffy office far above
the noisy street;
Busy brain with figures buzzing,
nimble fingers on the key.
And his eyes are never lifted from
his long train-order sheet.
And it's Nos. Four and Seven

of tho department. Now comes J.
W. Williams of Neale, Kansas, with
a few cheerful reminders, and his
letter will start the "memory works"
to going again. Mr. Williams. writes:
"In your cogitations over the joys
of past years in matters of dress,
you doubtless forgot the elegantly
stitched morocco tops of those box-
toed boots, which showed in such
bold splendor above the 'French
vamps,' in utter disregard of the
genteel reminder that it was not
good form to wear them on the put
side of your pants. Then, again,
the rapturous joy over that paper
collar caused you to forget the puffy

Nos. Two and Twenty-seven,
Rushing onward like the

' But the crows will mind their

Safe the passengers behind.
They praise financial captains who
have organized the lines
Into mighty railroad systems over
which, vast treasure rolls;
Reaching factory towns and forests,
climbing up to distant mines;
Stretching over plain and moun
tain, bringing in the golden
tolls. i
But the men who keep trains running
never pose for public gaze.
Theirs to do amid the clatter1
that to them is music sweet
Of the noisy sounders clearing all
the long steel-girdled ways,
As they bend to mark the figures
qn the long .train-order sheet.

again, that 'shoo-fly' necktie fastened
to your collar button by that vex
ingly elusive rubber cord, and those
laTge, green wax cuff buttons bear
ing the image of the horse's head,
the skull and crossbones or -the mu
sical bullfrog. And say! Have you
forgotten the torturous bands of
elastic ribbon you used to wear just
above your elbows?
"Yes, you are right; we may haye
better things today, but they do not'
fit into our mental wrinkles witti the
same degree of, comfort that we ex-
perience when, we lapse into that
lar-away lequng produced, oy a mem
ory visit into the past. Is it because
we have less to enjoy? Or is it be
cause our capacity for enjoyment
grows less with advancing years?
"I have for several years greatly
enjoyed your articles on the past,

reading many more in the years to

O'er the road in privat'e coaches,

Giving interviews in plenty, filling
local men with pride
As they wave them recognition
while the special onward flies.
But tne man who makes for safety
of the magnate and his crew
Is the man that the reporters sel

He's cooped up within his office, far
