STANFORD, MONTANA /11.1, MIN CHANCE rilAILROAD CHANGES 'POLICY , ON ,PROMOTIONS. `Move 'Means That Employes Are No Longer to Be Divided Into Classes —The First Man to Profit Thereby. Mr. John S. Considine of Columbia, Pa., a track foreman of the Pennsy1- 1 vania railroad, has been promoted to assistant super- visor. This pro- motion is signifi- cant of a change in the policy of the road in promo- tions, for up until this time a man without a techni- cal education could not expect to be advanced beyond the position of track foreman. The men who were destined for higher positions started in as rodmen in a similar way to the young naval officers who are -started In as midshipmen after their course at Annapolis. The Pennsylvania railroad has em ployed graduates of technical institu- tlqns both in its maintenance of way and mechanical departments, to be trained for promotion to the important positions. A graduate civil en- gineer was employed as a rodman, and was considered in direct line for positions of assistant supervisor, supervisor, assistant en- gineer, superintendent, general super- intendent, general manager or vice- president. In like manner mechanical engineers were given a special course of training for the motive power de- partment. Outside of these two lines of promotion it had been impossible to rise beyond certain limits in the op- erating department. Realizing that many employes who have not had the advantages of a col- lege education apply themselves so diligently to their work that they ac- quire a proficiency which should be recognized, the management has been carefully observing the work of all grades of men in the service, with! a view to promoting those who showed exceptional ability; no matter what their start with the company had been. John S. Considine was the first to be promoted under the.uew rule. Ile had no college education. On the con- trary, he entered the service of the company as a track laborer when but 15 years of age. After five years at this arduous work he was assigned to duty in a supervisor's office. There he acquired the rudiments of civil en- gineering. Later he was sent on the road as track foreman and his work In that capacity was of such a charac- ter that the title of general foraman of track laying was created for him. At this point Considine would have come to a sudden stop had it not been for the change in policy of the com- pany. He had reached lila limit, un- less he could gain a \commission\ as assistant supervisor, the place to which he has now been advanced. LAY STILL ON THE TIIACK, English Workman's Presence of Mind Saved Him from Death. A cry of horror went up from a crowd of passengers standing on Bur- ton -on -Trent railroad station platform, the other day. Before their very eyes lay all the elements of a tragedy. Be- tween the metals an assistant shunter was at work. Suddenly a freight train bore down upon the man. Before the startled spectators could warn him— almost before the cry of alarm had es- caped their lips—he disappeared be- neath the engine, and ten horse boxes passed over him. When the train was brought to a standstill a number of persons rushed forward to render as- sistance. They were too late. The shunter, a man named John Hughes, rose calmly to his feet, stepped over I the metals, walked up to the driver of the engine, and gently but firmly re- monstrated with the driver for knock- I Ing him down. Beyond a few cuts on the face and bands caused by falling on the gravel in the four -foot way, the man was uninjured, lie afterward at- tributed his miraculous escape to the fact that he lay perfectly still while the train was going over him.—London Telegraph. All Assistant Superintendents. An important charge has been made in the maintenance and organization of the Nebraska division of the Union Pacific, which, if successful, will he in- troduced on all the Harriman lines. This change consists in the diSeOntitill- ance among officers of the use of titles. superintendent of terminals. master mechanic, division engineer, trainmaster, traveling engineer and as- sistant division engineer. In future they will be all assistant superintend ents, and It Is expected that discipline will be improved by the fact that each officer has the authority indicated by his title. The main object of making assistant superintendents of the for- mer division engineers, innate,: me- I chanics, traveling engineers and others Is to give each of them a broader train - ink and opportunity, so that not mere- ly the transportation man, but the man, whatever hits special work, who A 'nurse 'le 'expected to tknow what to do for 'common allreents, and worn - 'oh -who suffer back- ;adhe, constant Ian. guor, -and tither atom. nutrias' symptoms of 11 doey 'complaint, should be grateful 'to Mrs. M in n I e Tallier, of E.

Used Cuticura: No Scar Left. \My baby was sitting beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying -pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. I used about three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet.

They were representatives of seven- teen suffrage clubs, federated into the Interurban Woman Suffrage council. Men nudged -one another, and small boys wore the proverbial II boy's grin. Tbere was no lack I% Jeers, either, and when finally the leaders mounted a taxicab, which they hailed. catcalls and Jeers arose from the rude men. \They are perfectly horrid,\ de- clared Maud Malone. \They are brutes,\ hotly supplemented Mary Coleman. And when they attempted to leak deafening cries arose. Bj,it that was before woman suffrage Was taken up by the women of the 100. Abandoning, for the nonce, concerts, balls, dinners and hounds, certain leaders of society—with a vim and a go—look up the cause of the woman - deprived -of -her -vote. On Dec. 21, 1908, Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, who had been suspected of quietly spreading the propaganda of the militant sisterhood atnong her friends, openly announced her alle- giance to the cause at a meeting in her home in New York, when there was formed the Equal Franchise league. Among those who then and there became members of the league, which was formed to assist other suf- frage associations, were Mrs. Philip I.ydig, belle of Newport; Mrs. Eger- ton Winthrop, Mrs. Richard Aldrich. Mrs. Frederick Nathan. Later there were enlisted in the movement Mrs. Robert Goelet, Mrs. George J. Gould, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Mrs. James Burden, Mrs. Foxhall Keene, Mrs. Richard Stevens and Miss Caroline Duer. So that now when the suffragettes meet there is a bating of breath, aml if there are smiles they make no noise.

A person In good health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work. On the other hand, if the digestive organs hasie been upset by wrong Food, work becomes drudgery. \Until recently,\ writes a Washing- ton girl, \I was a railroad stenog- rapher, which means full work every \Like many other girls alone in a large city.

'Yanced They needed a leader such as the countess of Warwick In England—a woman of intelligence and high so- cial position, whose attempts would obviate ridicule. That Mrs. Clarence tl. Mackay will fulfill this expectation they declare is without' doubt. Whether the anti -suffrage move- sion of the leaders of (he \Smart Set\ ?tient, which is headed by Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Gilbert Jones and era, will make much headway is uncertain. But the situation is without Interest. An Irr4erent on - sider might compare it to a disagree- ment as o which is preferable, cafe parfait -or '\lover's delight.\ ilowemr, both factions are holding meetings. From point of view of at- tendance the women of society would like to vote. Apropos of this, Mrs. Phil Lydlg said she is not so anxioug to vote herself as to secure the privi- lege for working women. Mrs. Mackey has already taken stump. That' her co-workers are no less vitally engrossed in the subject may be indicated by rumors that Mrs. Lydig has temporarily lost interest in her gowns, that Mrs. Vanderbilt has become indifferent to her dogs, and Mrs. Gould totally has forgotten many things that interested her. Rival meetings of the suffragettes and \antis\ are held; so are rival luncheons and teas. Mrs. Mackay made her debut as a suffrage speaker at a luncheon of the interurban Woman Suffrage council at the Hotel Astor on Jan. 15. By Mrs. Mackay at the table 'sat Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the \heavy\ authority of the international movement, who beamed upon Mrs. Mackay as the \new recruit.\ There was Col. Harvey, who had joined Mrs. alackay's . league—oh, yes, men have been induced to join—and by him the cream of the elite, among them Mrs. James Burden, Mrs. Foxhall Keene, Miss Dorothy Whitney, Mrs. Newbold Morris, Miss Helen Brice, Miss Caro- line Duer and Mrs. Robert Goelet. If these two - women represent beauty in the movement. then Mrs. George J. Gould and Mrs. W. K. Van- derbilt, Jr., represent position. Mrs. Gould is noted for her fond- ness for entertaining. At \Georgian Court,\ the magnificent country es- tate of Mrs. Gould, at Lakewoud, N. J., she has given notable concerts. In the splendid theater manuscript plays have been rendered by the most ac- complished actors. At the opera she is always a parterre hostess. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who has arraigned herself under the suffrage flag, was Mrs. George J. Gould. Mrs. Philip Lyclig. Miss Virginia Fair, daughter of Sen- ator Fair, of California. She was con- sidered one of the most beautiful heiresses in the country. Recently reports have been spread to the ef- fect that Mrs. Vanderbilt and her husband have separated. She has not, howe-ver, given up interest in the worean's movement. Whether the result of the conver- au otb- to woman suffrage will be that they will chain themselves to posts at st ' ll street corners or houses of govern - not i ment, fight with the police anti mob I city balls as they have done In Eng- land is still a question. Already the suffragettes have hail 'Feeble with the police in Now York, long ago a fleeting was broken in Columbus Circle, where Mrs. ttwin Wells attempted to speak, long as the discussions are re- ' I've() to the drawing rooms of the 1 , :iders and th esocial clubs it is not stiable that the inconsiderate and slat clubs it is not probable that the isconsiderate and unadvanced \guar- :lians of the law\ will interfere.

EARTHQUAKE WON THE HOLE. Golfer's Story of Strange Agency That Helped Him in India. Earthquakes and their terrible con- sequences have been a sad subject ,of mission lately, and one is minded to tell in this column a story of how an earthquake was once associated with a game of golf, the story being as remarkable as it is true. Every golfer knows or has he Mrs. W. 'K. Vanderbilt,\ Jr. that grand veteran of the old school, Col. E. H. Kennard, who for many years past has occupied the distm- guished and honorable position of field marshal of the Royal Blackheath club. The incident happened in a foursome played out on a course in India, in which his soon took part. The other side had played a very fine lie to a certain hole, the ball be- ing laid dead only about a foot from the pin. Kennard's partner played the odd, the ball stopping about three yards from the hole. So Kennard himself had to play the two more, and he was walking up to their ball to do so when, to his blank amaze - ment, he saw both balls begin to Move and roll. They had been at perfect rest for an appreciable space of time, and there was ,no visible cause for their movement. See what happened? The balls kept on slowly rolling, and the opponents' ball was running away from the hole all the time and finally came to a stop about four yards away. But the ball of Kennard and his partner ran toward the hole and went in, so that it had to be reckon- ed as having been holed from the last shot, the odd. The other side had thus only their four yards put left for the half and they missed, Kennard and his partner thus win- ning the hole. It was an earthquake, as was as- certained beyond doubt, that caused the balls to move, and so a hole has been won and lost through this strange agency. I have heard many stories of remarkable happenings on the links, but this, which is known to few people, is, I think, quite the most remarkable of its kind. Where Was Het Old Mr. Flaherty was a general fa- vorite in the little town where he lived. The doctor was away all one summer and did not hear of the old man's death.
