A TEST THAT TELLS
The advancement of Mr. Win
burn is t$ken to mean that there
will be no traffic manager. As
vice president he will be practic
ally traffic manager, and will have
able freight aud passenger officials
under him, to exercise a genera:*
supervision over that work.
Mr. Winburn is a young man.
who has demonstrated his ability
as a traffic official. As genera
freight agent of the Central he
served it efficiently fora number
of years, his work having been such
as to mark him for promotion
upon the resignation of Mr. Hin
ton some months ago.

Johnstown has again been visiter
by an appalling disaster.
It is only less frightful than the
awful calamity of }Iay 81, 1889, in
cost of life, but in its terrible con
sequences it has brought the shad

homes made desolate by a mine

for oil and water. They are tech

by the Badwin Locomotive Works,
Philadelphia. They weigh about
110 tons, have a tank capacity of
6,000 gallons of water, 2,500 gal

June says:
. The farmers of the South have

cultural progress when the system
practised for more than 100 year.-
of clearing new land aud turning
out old must be abandoned and »
more rational system adopted. To
wear out land aud then abandon it
is a barbarism—a practice, indeed,
unfit to be tolerated by an enlight

Lincoln’s Hay Crop, v
A story of Abraham f Lincoln
would have to be older than the
one below to lose its characteristic
savor, says the Philadelphia
Times. ’ ? ;
In the summer of 1857 Mr. Lin
coin was sitting 111 his office, when
he was visited by. one of his neigh
bors, an excellent farmer, but one
inclined to increase toe size of bis
crops even after harvesting. He
had given, on this particular mor
ning, a skillfully padded account
of the hay he had put in.
“I’ve been cutting hay, too” re
marked Mr. Lincoln.
“Why, Abe, are you farming?”
“Yes.”
“What you raise?’ ’
“Just hay.”
“Good crop this year?”
“Excellent.”
“How many tons?”
“Well, I don’t know ju9t how
many tons, Simpson, but my men
stacked all they could outdoors,
and then stored the rest in the
barn. -
