ES, I’ve quit railroading, and I will never throw another switch or flag another train as long ae I have my faculties well oiled and the bearings cool.'' A number ot old-time printers were seated on the railing in front of the office waiting for the "ghost" to walk, when one of the party asked Stiff If he had given up railroading. Stiff had "carried" this same comp over the road a number ot times. "Why, on my last trip out of Mem phis in It— you were flogging for your brother and you told me you had adopted the road, as there was good money and a future In It. On that trip you ‘took in' more than a V, besides your salary. Why did you give It up?" "A hoodoo." "A what?" "A hoodoo." "Oh, come off! What are you giving us? What kind of a hoodoo?" “A negro." "How waa that? Tell us about it.' "We had the best run on the road— a fast freight—leaving Memphis at 10:20 at night and arriving at Amory, the end ot our division, early the next morning. We had a negro brakeman called ‘Big Six,' who was tile best worker and the meanest negro I had ever come In contact with. Ho was afraid of nothing on earth except the 'captain,' as he celled the conductor. He failed to ‘show up' for his run one night. When we returned to Mem phis ws were Informed ‘Uncle Zack' had been, murdered. Uncle Zack' was an old negro who flagged a street crossing In Memphis for our,road, and was one of the best old negroes I have over known. He hnd his wife were peacefully sleeping in their little cottage near the cross ing ths night before, when ths woman was awakened as a blow was struck her husband. •• 'Big Six’ was standing by the bed side with an ax In his hands, with which he had split wide open the head of the old negro. Tho woman recog nized him and screamed. He lied, and a diligent search by the officers (ailed to reveal his whereabouts. 'That night we pulled out at 10:20, ae usual. Twenty miles out of Mem phis, at Cold Water Creek, we took water. Juet after leaving the tank, one negro brakeman came back to the caboose and reported that 'Big Six had hoarded the train. •The conductor told him to say nothing and ws would capture him at Holly Springs, which woe our next iD. 'When we arrived there a police- man was summoned, and the night clerk of the depot eating house joined 1 In the capture ot tha negro. T had 17 'passengers' in a car of j corn, from whom I had 'collected' $2.95. J stand on one side ot the train, while the conductor and myself were on the other. The conductor ordered every one to come out ot the car. "The moon was shining almost as bright as day. When the order to vacate was given there waa a rustle in the corn and a black figure Ipaped through the window to the top of the car In front. "The conductor yelled to him to atop, but he started down the train. Every man began firing nt him, and after run ning the length of two cars he leaped tv the ground and started for an old field near the railroad track. He ran Into a wire fence, but broke through and we thought he had izcsped. We got through the fence as soon as possible, but not a sign ot the fleeing negro was there. "We thought he had dropped Into a ditch and would probably firo on us, >o we began our search very cautlouely. “'Here he is,' called the conductor, and we hurried to hie side to find ‘Big Six' with eyes wide open, as If looking Into tho beyond, but still In death. "The officer took charge of the body, and we pulled out for Amory. "I remained on the rood Just one month from that night, and during that time we hod eleven wrecks, and I never look In a penny. That negro was a hoodoo.” • SOME TERSE AND TIMELY MAXIMS . FOR THE FRATERNAL ORDER FOLK ftilton Rebekah lodge, No. 14, Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellow.. beU on enthusiastic meeting last Wedn<-day night Preparation, ware completed for an 'at home” at the next meetlmr. which will be on Wednesday, July 21, at 7:20 p. m.

The progressive fraternal order helps those who help themselves. Death can stop your salary, but It cannot atop your life certificate. There le only one sure why of get ting your money back from a fraternal order—stick to It. _ Trouble comes to nearly all of us. It we hold a certificate In s good fra ternal order ws have a foundation which will support us or our family In times of adversity. If you can do no more for your lodge than to attend the meetings, do that much. Your presence will be appre ciated and will encourage the officers ot your lodge. , No man can be truly happy without a protected home. In no way can thle be done so well with the least ex pense, as by the sld o» the fraternities. Wear an emblematic pin or button of your order and lot the outside world know that you have confidence In the order you pay your money In. Every time you bring a friend Into your order you are throwing a life line around him that may ears him or his family from going Into a whirlpool of distress. An Ideal lodge member le one who attends all meetings, lakes an Internet In the good and welfare of his lodge and Is not afraid to talk up his order whenever a desirable man le within hearing. M. D.
