I feel in myself the future life. I am
like a forest which has been more than
once cut down. The new shoots art
owuiiger anu livelier than ever, I am

sunshine is over my head. The earth
gives me its generous sap, but heaven

You ear the soul is notliW hut the ro.

bodily powers begin to fail? Winter is
on toy head and eternal spring is in my
heart. Then I breathe at this hour the

ir trains; second class, rogular

trains have the "right of way" against
trains moving south or west, provided,
however, that first-class trains moving
south or west having the right to ue

trains moving In the opposite direc

are shown on the time card, while
third-class or irregular trains can not
leave a terminal station without first
obtaining an order from a dispatcher
on duty. Train dispatchers work eight
hours per day each. The first trick
man reports at eight a. m., second

twelve midnight. The chief d

As each train arrives nnd leaves a
station the operator reports it bv usinrr

dispatcher's attention and ho carries
the time on a sheet called a train

but as it Is thoy are generally late,
especially froight trains. When a trnf n
having the "right of way" becomes late
and another train having arrived
at the designated meeting point on

meeting point by issuing an order to
both trains to that effoot. Those or
ders are dolivored to the conductors
and engineers and they, after reading
them, sign them, to siznifv their un

the signatures by wire to the dis

was in effect the austere rejoinder, "but
you will have to pay a fine of 0 10s.,
