tender where m had no business to
be just before the engine rolled Into
the ditch The baggageman was
killed leaving a destitute family
“Give me $1000 for -the widow and
kids" Thornton asked of headquarters
“Not a nickel” said -headquarters
coldly “It was the baggageman’s
fault that lie was killed"
“Maybe"' said Thornton with the
big jaw setting “But meanwhile
young widow and three boys are in
dr-nger of starvation I’m going to
put her oq my payroll at $45 a month
and when her name comes off mine
comes with It"
She’s still there so far as any one
knows Perhaps that Incident helps
explain why Thornton was selected to
take charge of the Great Eastern for
the position of general manager on
an English railroad la equivalent to
$hat of president of the United States
The Great Eastern handles a great-
er commuting traffic than any other
road in England and its short haul
business during the summer resort
season Is perhaps the greatest In the
world
Bdt according to the commuting
public of England Its directing heads
assay heavily In pure bone Ticket
sales are never stopped no matter
how badly the line may be blocked
Trains are held in smoke-filled tun-
nels rather than permit a step aside
from routine procedure
“Anf one can handle engines and
cars and tunnels” said a railroad
man “but Thornton Is a wonder at
handling men That’s why England
took him'
He must not only teach the railroad
using public nf-England to love the
Great Eastern which entails a com-
plete reversal of all the laws of hu
man nature but must also win the
loyal support of the Great Eastern’s
employes
In a way American railroaders and
their methods will go on trial with
Thornton in England This may not
seem fair but It is the fact

New York — "Your best chance of
success" said Henry W Thornton
“comes when you are In your shirt
sleeves”
Thornton Is the young American
railroad man who was recently picked j
out to take charge of the Great East-!
era railroad in England
The member of the board of direc-
tors who did the picking tactfully add-
ed to bis declaration that Thornton Is
the best young railroad man in Amer-
ica for such a position the cause be-
ing that English railroad men have
run to seed
“They do not grow” said the di-
rector wagging bis bead like a me-
chanical bearf “They dp not expand
Their field of vision is limited”
However that may be — and English
railroads resolved themselves Into a
lodge of sorrow when they read it and
then began to gather bricks for Thorn-
ton — the American youngster has
been growing and expanding ever
since be got Into railroading
After be bad graduated In footbaU
and engineering at the University of
Pennsylvania be applied for a Job to
John C Sims then secretary of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company He
had a letter of introduction from a
man of influence
“Hum” said Sims when he read
the letter “This gets you a Job but
It don’t hold the job for you young

time you haven't been promoted salt

sort of a man on the right of way”
Thornton was on bis third promo-
tion at the end of two years He has
been moving upward ever since but
he has never gained a step by flat-
tery back-bending or lying If the
opinion of the men who have been
nearest to him is to be taken at par

and fussing with the official family of
the Pennsylvania railroad is common-

cupation as biting t4ie tip of a stroke

On one occasion a baggageman on

London — A writer in the Aeroplane
in discussing Gustave Hamel’s disap-
pearance says:
“It Is a peculiar fact that only4 a few
days before his disappearance Hamel
in discussing the Atlantic flight with
some friends said that if his machine
came down In mid-Atlantic and was
not picked up he would prefer such an
end to being killed in an aerodrome or
an exhibition flight with all the fuss
and sensation among the crowd
“Somewhere at the back of his mind
I think he had some idea of the dignity
of dying in the solitude of the sea to
being killed in the act of amusing a
mob of sightseers and be was right
“That he should have gone in what
was to him the trivial feat of crossing
the channel is the Irony of fate but it
came somewhere near being such an
end as be desired”
