How Jake's Family Was Cared For.
HOW JAKE'S FAMILY WAS CARED FOR .
WHEN we were boys , Bill Howard , Jake Nuzum and I were called triplets , and I do not suppose there ever were three firmer friends than we . Why we should have been so intimate and confidential is more than I could ever understand , for we were about as different , individually , as three boys conld possibly be . Bill was strong , active and impulsive ; the natural leader in all our
mischief and the champion of every weakling ; his opinion was respected , for he was inclined to enforce obedience by pure will power ; he was nofc a bully nor a tyrant , bufc a big hearted , manly fellow , who felfc that he had a right to mould the opinions of others . Jake was quiefc and sickly-looking , generous to a fault , gentlemanly
in all thafc the word implies , a close student and somewhat diffident ; he waa a universal favourite and frequently joined us iu those sports in which boys delight to indulge . As we neared manhood , Jake was the firsfc to get into business j his physical condition influenced him to engage , for a . time afc least ,
in some active pursuit , and he obtained a position as a passenger brakeman on a railroad . His good common sense and gentlemanly deportment soon won the confidence of his officers , and he was promoted to a conductorship on a freight train . In those days fche freight service was nofc so laborious as now , and Jake found his
position both pleasant and profitable . We were often together and Jake's description of several wrecks , in whioh he had participated , inflamed the impetuous Bill , who waa charmed with the bustle and excitement of a railroad man ' s life , and by Jake ' s influence he was given a situation as brakeman on
Jake ' s train . Finally I dropped into business myself , and removed to a distant city , from which I kept up a friendly correspondence with my two old friends and school-mates . We all prospered in our chosen occupations , and in course of time
Bill ' s natural trait of leadership asserted itself , and he became a conductor also , and for many years the two ran over the same portion of the road , which was a crooked and mountainous division , characterizad by stiff grades , high bridges and smoky tunnels , where none but tbe most trusted men were employed .
Bill and I had been made Masons shortly after passing our majority , and had solicited Jake to join us when we made our petitions , but he had declined ; when , however , he found thafc there was a secrefc between us which he did nofc share , he asked to be taken into our confidence , but ifc was after my removal from the city thafc he was
admitted , and I never met him as a brother . He saw much in the Order to gratify his taste for study , and he rose rapidly in the esteem of his brethren as a wise and accomplished Freemason ; for several years he presided in the Oriental Chair , and when he had filled ifc as long as he thought tho interests of fche Lodge would be promoted he
positively declined a re-election . The installation of his successor was made an occasion for a pnblic installation , to which the families and friends of the members were invited , and upon the conclusion of the ceremony , which Jako had performed in his quiet and dignified style , Bill arose and addressed bim in a speech , which he had with
much difficulty memorized , and in fche name of the Lodge presented him with a Past Master ' s jewel . The genuine surprise created was too much for Jake ,-who knew whose generous impulses had prompted fche testimonial , and ho accepted ifc with some incoherent remarks , among which he said thafc if he were to be removed from his family
his intercourse with the brethren of the Mystic Tie had been such as to convince him thab that the Craffc would never cease to protect and care for his little ones . Little did he he or his hearers know how soon this test was to be made , for in loss than a year ( November 1870 ) I received a letter
from Bill in which he said : " Our Lodge s cheerful and happy meetings have been changed to mournful assemblages of distressed brethren , by the sudden death of Jake , who was killed on the Sth inst ., afc R Tunnel . He and I were on the same run and were on side track to meet a passenger train . We had separated to go fco
our respective trains when we heard fche passenger train approaching , bnfc he became blinded by the steam escaping from the cylinders of his own engine and was struck and killed by the passenger engine . He left us a widow and three small children to protect and care for , and as we stood around his grave , more than one man vowed
that hia ' little ones' should never want while we had a crust ; to divide with them . " The details of the accident and burial were all written me , and the manly love of the kind-hearted Bill assured me thafc ho would keep the vow whether others did , so or not .
Time fiew on , and our letters came and went as in tho years gone by , bufc neither of us had taken sufficient holiday to visit the other . Last Fall I visited my early home and took a run up to see Bill , whom I found wearing tho m . i . orm of a passenger conductor , and one mornint , ' , by permission of the ruperiiitendeut , I occupied a seafc
in hia train for a trip over the road with him . I asked him to show me where Jake had met hia death , and tho noble fellow actually wiped his eyes as ho did so , and ib was then thafc I learned from
him how Jake ' s family was cared for . He said : " You remember Jake ' s quiet , undemonstrative manner . Well , sir , ho carried that into his family , and if ever a man was happy at home that man was Jake . He never failed to take some-
