Helping the Engineer.
During a strike on a railway
much difficulty was experienced in
finding engineers to keep t lie neces
sary trains running. One of .the
substitutes, a young fellow, ran
some distance past a station, and
then, putting back, ran as much too
far the other way. He was prepar
ing to make a third attempt when
the station agent shouted, to the
great amusement of the passengers:
"Never mind, Bob; stav where you
are. We'll shift the station."
