A Fair Railroad President.

Mrs. Haines is the first woman ever chosen to the Presidency of a steam railroad, but in her case there can be

no doubt of the wisdom of the selection, her qualifications for the position -'being conceded by all who know her. She is the wife of Mr. C. D. Haines, senior member of the well-known Haines Brothers, brokers and owners of the street and short-line railroads in several States. They own a number of railroads, steam and street, in the Lone Star State, the Medina Valley being one. Mrs. Haines, the fair President of this line, is said to be a most efficient officer as well as a most beautiful woman.
