. Took the Advice.
The president of one of the promi
nent railway corporations in America
was making a stirring address to an
audience of young men and dwelt
with particular emphasis on the neces
sity of making a good appearance.
"When you are looking for work,"
he said, "be careful that you are pre
sentable. If you ' have only $24 In
the world, spend . $20 for a suit of
clothes, $3.50 for a pair of shoes, SO
cents for a hair cut and shave. Then
walk up to the job wherever It la and
ask for It like a man."
.This advice was greeted with great
applause, and the' railway president
sat down amid a storm of cheers. The
very next morning a dapper looking
young fellow walked into the outer
office of the orator and, handing a note
to the clerk, said, "Please give this to
the president' The note read as follows:-.
:
"I ..have paid $20 for this suit of
clothes, $3.50 for a pair of shoes and
50 cents for a hair cut and a shave. I
have walked from Harlem, and I
would like a job as conductor on your
road." ' N .
n lie got the Job.

Long Distance Bravery
"Ton should have heard father talk
to central this morning when ho got
mad at the phone." ,
"Central Is a woman, Isn't she?"
"Yes." .
"And about three miles away?"
"I should Judge so." .

Significance of Certain Numbtrt In the
TeUgraphora' Code. '
"In the telegraphers' code numbers
have special significance of which the
general public is not aware," remarked
a veteran key night the other -ctay
"Most ( everybody knows f that :5u
means 'good night.' or the end of a
story, but few outside the profession
know that 31 la also a code sign. Hail-
road operators, however, know that
this call Is a signal to the operator at
the other end to come back and repent
train signals to the sending operator
It also has another meaning. Train
order to be signed by conductor and
engine driver.' Nineteen, on the other
hand, means that the train order Is not
to be signed by conductor or engine
driver. Twenty-four has also the lat
ter significance on some roads.
"Five Is simply an interrogation
point and In the vernacular could be
translated 'Anything doing? Thirteen
signifies 'Do you understand? ' Twenty-five
means 'busy,' but nobody seems
to know how It came to have that sig
nificance unless perhaps It means that
the operator is still In the midst of bis
work, being some distance away from
"Seventy-three means "best regards,'
and newspaper men and opeators em
ploy this expression constantly. Of
course 23 has come to mean In this
numerical language just what.lt does

said, "and I Vm-n-d that, of the 203
persons now confined there all but

Is not so with us. But then," he add
