The
Conscientious Official
While a Division
Superintendent of a railway was attending closely to his business of placing
obstructions on the track and tampering with the switches he received word that
the President of the road was about to discharge him for incompetency. “Good Heavens!”
he cried; “there are more accidents on my division than on all the rest of the
line.” “The President is very particular,” said the Man who brought him the
news; “he thinks the same loss of life might be effected with less damage to
the company’s property.”“Does he expect me to shoot passengers through the car
windows?” exclaimed the indignant official, spiking a loose tie across the
rails. “Does he take me for an assassin?”
