The art of putting tlnngs so as to produce tlie conviction wliich is followod by action was known to a poor f ello w inj ured by a railroad accident out West. Tho Transcript tells the story : He was a brakeman, and had been hurt in the discharge of his duty. His home was in the East, and the road which he had served passed him to the terminus of its line. The next did the same, and also the next ; but at last he carne to a Stiperintendent who hesitated. The poor fellow pleaded his case. He was a railroad man. He had boen hurt at his post. He had been passed by all the other roads. "All very well," said the Superintendent ; "but I can't see my way clear to givo you a pass. if you were working for a farmer, and were to get hurt in his employ, would you expeet another farmer to get out his team and take you to the next town ? " "No, sir," said the brakeman; "not that exactly ; but if he was hitched up and going my way, I should think ho was mighty mean if he wouldn't give me a ride." He got the pass.
