GHOSTS OF OLD FRIENDS
DRIVE TWO MEN INSVNE
Inmgiiiing that the ghosts of
dead friends were haunting them,
two men became insane and were
taken to City Hospital Friday.
One is a locomotive fireman
who thought he saw the mangled
foi'ms of his two friends as he
[lassed over the spot where they
were killed. The otherisa night
watchman who imagined that
the spirtof his old employercame
to him ill t hs factory and walked
around wioli him.
The mental strain of having to
ride nn engine at full speed every
day or two over a strech of track
where two of hisfriends had been
mangled and killed in a train
wreck so oppressed the mind of
Boy M. Soott, the locomotive
fireaiBTi, th^t he baciime a rav
ing Maniac.
Scott is 27 years old and lived
at 4400 Gibson avenue,St. I^ouis
He was t^mloyed by the Frisco
Kallroad.
Early last month a passenger
train on the Frisco going at full
speed left the rails near Carth
age, Mo., and the engine-and
some of the cars rolled down a
high embankment.
Harry Johraus, the fireman, of
Pacific, Mo., and Engineer Blood
went down with their engine,
which crushed them to death.
They were both (lersonal
freinds of Scott and the Bi’other-
hood of Locomotive Fireman and
the Brotherhood'of Locomotive
Engineers sent him to Carthage
to bring the bodies back.
Scott saw the mangled bodies
of his friends and went to the
spot w'here the engine had rolled
down the embankment,
Itmadeadeepimpression upon
his mind and vfhen he next went
over that spot on his engine he
W'as greatly agitated.
Thereafter, whenever he was
approaching this spot with his
engine, he would become nerve-
ous and excited. It grew worse
with every trip, until at last he
would crouch in a corner of the
caj) until the spot was passed.

A Model Card of Thanks.
The foiling card of thanks re
cently appeared in a Kansas
town;
“I wish to thank the city au
thorities' for quarantining me
aniT my family for two weeks
recently because one of the chil
dren had the smallpox. During
the time my wife caught up her
sewing, and being undisturbed
by callers at meal time we had
three square meals a day, as
no one came and she was not
permitted to go out. We en
joyed two weeks of good nights’
sleep, and best, of all, a cousin
with four children, who arrived
to visit us, saw' the smallpox
sign on the door and left towu
so scared she will never come
back again.”

There are two sides to every
thing if one will only fake the
trouble to find them. little
boy, whose ingenuity is cited by a
writer in the Chicago News, had
the faculay of discovering the
unexpected aspect of affairs. It
was a warm day,and certain signs
made him sure that he would
find company in the sw’imming-
hole.
‘‘Papa,” he said, “may I g<
swimming?”
“Why, Williard,” said his
parent, “only an hour ago you
complained of a pain in your
stomach.” ♦

there isn’t a habitation in sight

train rolled up. Baby bundles
and all the woman alighted. It
was as dark as pitch and for some
reason the friends she was intended
to visit had not come to meet her.
The conductor didn’t loose much
time buzzling over the situ

passenger and her belongings
back into the train, pulled the
engineer ahead until the train
