the Life of • Railroad Flagman I* » Pretty
Hard One.
No o»e knows betttr than a prac-
tical railroader that a flagman's life
is not the rosiest, and the responsi-
bility of his position only seems to
■dawn upon travelers when he has
neglected his duty and loss of life has
resulted. It is his duty to look after
the rear end of the train, and if any
mishap occurs the flagman is the man
who has to answer for «jt. It is not
the most gratifying thing in the
world to be stirred up from a snug
corner in a warm caboose on a cold
night and sent back for jierhaps a
mile in the storm to flag a train. Yet
this is done nightly, and not infre-
quently the flagman has to stand any-
where from 30 minutes to an hour
and a half unprotected until the wel-
come blast from the engine calls him
in.
There is a peculiar code of signals,
familiar to all flagmen, but not un-
derstood by the mass of travelers.
For instance, a freight train leaves
this city, going east, and is followed
by a second section. When the first
train reaches B , the freight con-
ductor receives orders to hold his
train. He doesn't know why. It
isn't necessary. He has the order
and carries it out. He then dis-
patches his flagman back to prevent
the approach of the train following.
If it is in daylight the flagman
takes with him a small flat,' for the
purpose, and by means of which
warns the engineer of the approach-
ing train. If at night, he carries ;t
lantern and by a peculiar swing ac-
complishes the same result. If the
trains are running fast and close to-
gether and the stop order to the first
trairvis unexpected, the flagman has
to hustle to prevent the rear train
from crashing into the train ahead.
Very often the trains are running
far apart, or again there may Ik- dan-
ger of a passenger train overtaking
the freight. In such case the flag-
man may have to wait for quite
awhile until it approaches. If the
train ahead should receive further
orders to proceed, and the flagman is
out of sight and hearing, the engi-
neer gives four long blasts on the
whistle, which is a signal for him to
return.
If the train were going west, four
long and one short blasts would bo
given. If up to the time that the
flagman is called in the rear train
has not approached, he then places
on the track one or two torjiedoes,
according to the circumstances.
These are exploded by the engine
following. One torpedo indicates a
full stop), while two simply mean
that caution is to be exercised. —
Pittsburg Post.
It Look* Kany.
It is amusing to watch a green con-
ductor trying to place a trolley on the
wire. To a practiced hand it is easy
enough,but to the prentice it isa work
of woe indeed. One of these men found
to his sorrow that it is not so easy as
it looks. It was at night, and the
passengers were rudely disturljed in
the perusal of their pajn-rs by the
lights going out, and soon after their
equilibrium was upset by the car
coming to a dead stop. There was
nothing to do but to wait until the
conductor replaced the trolley. He
tried for some minutes, but the fes-
tive wire eluded him. The trolley
would bang against it in a tantalizing
manner and make a fine display of
blue sparks, but the vexation contin-
ued until the passengers were becom-
ing angry and had about made up
their minds to get out and walk,
when a conductor of one of the long
string of cars behind the stalled one
went to the rescue and adjusted the
trolley and the temjjers of tho pas-
sengers with the greatest easo im-
aginable.—Buffalo Express.
Whit They Called Him.
Senator McLaurin was trying a
case before the circuit court in Ran-
kin county, Miss., just before liis
election to the senate. There were a
negro and a dog involved.
"What is the dog good for, uncle?"
asked Mr. McLaurin. "Will he catch
coons?"
"Never hearn 'er his catchin nuth-
in," replied the darky. "Ain't no
'count at all. He jes' lays roun de
house, he does, an eats an sleeps.
Ain't wuf shucks. Dat's what makes
us call 'im what we do."
"What do you call him?"
"Lawyer."—Washington Times.
Had Enough In That Line.
Sire—Come here, Harry! Throw
off that unmanly ennui and give at-
tention to something more worthy
your contemplation. Just come to
this window and devote yourself to
a study of the declining sun.
Harry—No, thank you: The little
setback I got last evening from a de-
clining daughter will do me for
awhile.—Yonkers Gazette.
Partly Self Made.
"Where did young Browne get his
money, papa?"
"From his uncle, old Sam Brown.
He inherited everything he has in
the world except the final 'e' to his
name. He started that on his own
hook."—Boston Home Journal.

you will, but ungrammalieal never.
