"At Harpers Ferry n one occasion
the flood in the Potomac was so great
that it threatened the destruction of
the costly railroad bridge, - which was
seen to shake In Its unsteadiness," said
former Governor; Tbomaa Q. Jones.
"When everybody present, was looking
each moment to - see . the ' bridge go
down,' President John W. Garrett of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad arriv
ed upon. the scone.. Appreciating the
necessity of instant action, he, gave an
abrupt order for-' A. loaded train of
freight cars standing on a side track to
be run. with the. locomotive on to the
bridge and kept there. ' ' ' '
But, Mr. Garrett, that Is-a train
iottd bf Bilk,' said tbe local superintend
ent. w 't - , .t i
" 'I don't care: run out tbe carsr
commanded tbe great master of rail
roads. 'It would be easier to pay for
tbe silk than to build a new bridge.
The 'silk train' was run on to the
bridge, and toe structure, was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the continent from San Francisco, at
which port It bad been received from
China and Japan. . Garrett was a great
man, one of the greatest of those who
have aided In the material development
of America. ' In-emergencies ho was

"Cards are not played as much on
the cars as they used to be," said tbe
commercial traveler,. "A few years
agO It was a common sight to see three
or four games, whist,' euchre; poker or
seven up, going on in a car, and wher
ever four or fire drummers were gath
ered together there was sure to be a
lively game of draw in progress. : Bub-
urban trains were turned Into whist
dubs, and morning end night the com
muters were engaged In-a rubber.
'But all this has been changed. Now
adays It la the hardest thing in tbe
world to get np a game of any kind In a
train.1 Ask a stranger U he would like
to take a hand at whist or euchre, and
be will freese you wltb a suspicious
look. And, what Is worse, he is entire
ly Justified in bis suspicions.
, . "In the last ten years tbe railroads of
this country have been the harvest for
gamblers, bunko men and short -card
experts. They have worked the field to
the limit, from New York to California
and from Vermont to Florida. They
have worked all kinds of flimflam
games, until now It is almost Impossi
ble for a man to flash a deck of cards
in the smoking compartment of a Pull
man without the atmosphere growing
doxen degrees colder, A man who has
been bitten once doesn't care to have
tbe experience repeated. Rochester

"One trouble with many young men
who start out In business Is they try to
do too many things at once," says Het
ty Green. 'The result Is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing, and they natural
ly full. The trouble wltb young men
who work on salaries Is that they're
always afrnld of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter Into
their work with the right spirit To
get on and be appreciated a young man
muiit do more than he's paid to do.
