Reynolds, s locomotive engineer of Elkhart, Ind., fought the battles of life for more than half a century. On his last run, at the end of which was a pension for Ihe veter- an. the Injector went wrong, the engine flew past a block signal and crashed into a freight train, says a Chicago dispatch. Discharged, instead of honorable retirement, 's was the reply. In accord with strict rules. Reynolds held his head high, said the company was right, always was right, he had erred, and the penalty was merited. Then the officials who had known the engineer for decades and had known his record, with not one black mark against it until that last mishap. reviewed their ruling. Technically Reynolds had been retired before that Dual run and hence he could not be discharged, they said. The engineer was placed on the retired with honor list and his pension was given him. And Reynolds? Well, he said again the company always was right but ho did wish he could get back on a fast run with a big engine bumming and hissing beneath his touch. Reynolds went to work for the Lake Shore railroad at Elkhart way back In 18G8. On January 30 last, his seventieth birthday, be waa the dean of the 500 engineers who work out from Elkhart. His record was absolutely clear, his sight, hearing and physical condition perfect, as indicated by severe tests. January 29 he received a letter from his superintendent enthusiastically complimenting him, but telling him that he would be retired on February 1 in compliance with the new rules of the company providing for the pensioning of all employes over 70 years of age. On January 31 he started on his last run In a locomotive cab. Something went wrong with the Injector and the water began running back out of the boilers under the pressure of 200 pounds of steam to the square inch. He Jumped to rectify it, and in the minute's absence from his post, flew past a block signal. As be returned to his seat s freight train loomed up ahead. The fireman jumped. Reynolds shut off the steam, threw on the brakes, and held the throttle while the engine plowed through the caboose, s few freight ears, and rolled over down the embankment. On February 1 Reynolds appeared at the coroner's inquest, and disregard ing the defective injector, forgetting the failure of the fireman to keep a look out while he W'as working on it, believing that It meant no pension and a clouded end of a spotless career, took on his own shoulders all blame for the accident. On February 2 Reynolds was discharged. Instead of bitterness toward the railroad company, Reynolds expressed only wbole hearted admiration and affection for it. resiwct for its officer, and belief in the wisdom and justice of all Its actions. He had got bis reward out of his life In the living of, it, had formed his opinions of the company" during his 42 years' service, and the incidents of January 31 and February 2, whatever their outcome could not shift his position by x hair's breadth. He had only one regret, this veteran, with a comfortable pension, with grown son and daughter, living in one of the most pleasant houses in Elkhart, the master of a modern automobile, one of the leading citizens of the city. "I suppose you are going to enjoy a good rest now? he was asked. "Im going to have a rest," he reHut I wont enjoy it.

"Hut no amount of warning could have made me give up that run on January 31.

"Right now some of the great railroad systems are planning to use cement poles on which to string their telegraph wires, and the big telegraph companies likewise have discussed the advisability of employing cement for their wires. Good telegraph poles are becoming scarce, but it is not solely because of ihe scarcity that the railroads are going to use cement. Railroad experts recognize that a cement pole will be belter in many ways. As a minor ronslilerntioii, they cun be made more sightly, bu tlie chief reasons are the saving of money and the durability of the cement pole.

The leading railroad men know the value of guarding against future cost, and they are going to adopt cement as the material for their bridges, telegraph poles, fence posts, ties and their buildings."

SOUGHT Avoiding Wrecks Now the Greatest Problem of Railroads A Re- cent IS DANGEROUS. Device. The Erie railroad has Instituted a experimental section of an electrical automatic railroad safety signal system that promises for the safety of railroad travel. The engine, according to Colliers Weekly, has a brush arrangement that connects with the third rail. In the cab are Instruments that will bring the train to a stop the moment it enters a block on which there Is another train or a broken rail or any other obstruction. The train is stopped automatically. Then the engineer takes down his telephone and calls up the nearest station and asks what is the matter. He can also talk with the other engineers on the line. A lime meter, similar to Ihe paper disk time clock of the watchman in big buildings, renders it impossible for him to make a false report as to the time he received the danger signal and what he did. Another signal in the engineer's cab Is a green light that burns as long as the track is clear, but goes dark as soon as a danger rone is entered. A push button In every station will stop any train along the track for miles. As soon as the station agent pushes this button the train comes to a stop. The erginoer calls back to find what it is all about. The agent explains and gives orders. Aside front Its first and primary Importance aa a safety device, it can he operated in connection with local and telephone service. On the first experiments made a few days ago the engineer and a messenger on train In New Jersey a telephoned to the editorial rooms of a New Y'ork city newspaper and could, they declare, have as easily talki d with Chicago. That this sort of a system may be generally adopted and applied to railroad service seems to be likely, as Its Installation ami operation will be less costly to a railroad than the loss of rolling stock that is being constantly smashed up In the wrecks that hare become so frequent they hardly count any mure even as Important Items of news.

Hy the courageous and Intelligent action of a woman, a serious accident was prevented on the Caledonian line at West Ferry. Scotland. In the course of a fierce gale a large tree on the railroad embankment was uprooted and thrown across the track. Fortunately, the fall of the tree was noticed by a young woman In a cottage in the neighborhood, and she, realizing the danger to passing trains, hurried to the nearest signal, box, which was about half a mile distant. Toe signal man, thanks to the Information he received, was able to stop two passenger trains, due from Glasgow, until a gang of plate layer was summoned to clear the line. This work was accomplished in about an hour's time. The woman, Mrs. Hell, has been presented with a handsome acknowledgement by the railroad company. It is needed when backaches make life miserable when a sickenfeeling makes work a weary agony ing, dragging, hearing-dow- n when sick headache, nervous irritability, loss of energy and appetite indicate derangement of the womanly organism.
