Of Kuiiroii.d«5rn.
"I heard you ta ki^ig to your chum.,
said a sm k.-d a..d dirt begrimed speci-
niA . « f the raiJr au uian" about s ilois
who didn't care to go to sea on a Friday,
and you grew eloquent ou their ••super-
stition" as you called it. Well, before 1
"tb-jk to railroading I was a gail.ir myself,
and the old feelmj; about Friday beinj»
a a unlucky day >-tiii clings to me. Per-
haps jou m y have he.Md of Green
Brothers, of Liverpool. Well they built
a ship. They laid down the keel on a
Friday, they lauuche I her ou a Friday,
they s died her on a Friday, they got a
captain eal fed Fridaj- to command htr
and they lost her with all hands on a
Friday.
'•Well now that you are a railroad man
you have no longer such ideas in your
head. Trains go out every day" aud the
Times man smiled with the self-satisfac-
tion of one who had got off a good
thing."
'•So ihey do, but we've got our super-
stitions as wi ll as eailors. Why I know
conductors who wdl wa.k a i over a
car to avoid taking up a colored man's
ticket flr-t. Wliei' by aoy chance a con-
ductor takes up a color, d mau's ticket
lirst, he is afraid of an accident, and he
ain't happy until the trip is over. You've
hi-ard the tong, of course,
•• never take the horseshoe from
the door,"
Well, that's a cardinal rule with us rail-
road men, especially on ft eight trains.
There's not a freight train hardly pulls
out that hasn't a horseshoe iu the ca-
boose. The hrakeuien often carry them
iu their pockets and engineers carry-
them iu the cab. Ai:o her thing we boys
think, is this: that if vou commence a
trip badly it is likely to end badly. So
if y«.ur first four or five miles our are
tron de ome, it will make you nervous
all the trip. Spinning along as a pas-
senger I suppose one part of the road
seen.8 just as safe to you as another?
The reporter said that he saw but little
difference.
" Well, " continued the son of the rail,
'• chat's uot the way we look ou it. Some
parts of a Hue are lucky and some are
unlucky, and it is the good part of
the load generally that has the bad repu-
tation."
'^Thirteen is an unlucky number
ain't it."
"Well it is generally considered so"
responded the scribe.
'•And it is so too. If you
want to see a man looking blue
just catch Ihe engineer or conductor or
brakesman of a train of thiiteen cam
aud you'll have him. 1 d lay offif have
to brake on a train of thirteen ci.rs."
"flow about fast driving ?" '
•'We don't drive fast here. Thirty
miles an hour is considered good spee I.
There fare few fast eugiueers in the
countrv" he added sadly.
'•How ss that?"
Well they don't get out ibis way that's
all. Theu you see its only a question of
time uutil the best of them meets with
an accident aud that's the end of tbeui.
Ever after they arejouly fltto be intrus-
ted with the slow freight.
Here the reporters lmformant was
called away t-> do something mysterious
with aa oil can and the interview
terminated.
