MARY WALTERS wa, until about
two weeks ago, as happy a wife
and mother as it falls to the lot oil
tho very poor to he. Sic lived
in Il little house on Chestnut etrcei,
whi.h, she worked eary AMI late
to keep clean am ::uoat for the com.
ing Of her husband who, indeed,
was not everything he might 'Ie
in the way of a faithful and indus.
trious spouse. lie thought more
# gross indulgence than of the
comfort or happiness Of his poor
overworked wife, and his two
little children. Two weeks ago
he concluded that it would be
easy to shake off the encumbrance
Of family, and so he left home
one morning and never returned.
His poor wife, already failing,
became worse at this brutal
conduct Of her husband. A
few days aftcrward, the rent
was due, and % course there was
no money to pay it with. The
landlord secured the services of q
constable, and the woman, hel
children aud her furniture, were
Unfortunately pitched into the
street. Having no friends to seek
protection from, Mrs. Walters ant
her two little ones remained in til,
street all night, crouching among
the fragments of furnatnrc and bed
ding Tor warmth. The old story o
the man that we,t down to Jeri-
cho was repeated. People passed
by, and went upon the other side
or turned away their eyes more
kindly than coldcuriocity. Finally.
late in tho morning, after tho
mother and her children were al
most frozen with cold, the Goo,
Samaritan put in an appearance il
the shape of a policeman,and, til,
woman being now very i'll, h'
brought her to Harper Hosi fla
There she remained until yestcr
day evening, when insanity
which had frequently displayed
itself in her actions while broodire
over her sorrows, took complete
possession Other. She became s,
violent that the authorities wer,
obliged to send fer a policeman
and she was taken to the centra
Station. To-day she was. sent t,
the County Asylum, and thu
children other wise provided for. -

Hoc Does a Light Engine Draac
a HeaVy Train?
BY PROF. ]. d. BUTLER

The first locomotive was paten-
ted twenty years ago. Driving
only one car, if lightly londed It
did very well; but when the load
il drew was heavier than its own
weight, its wheels would not 6ate
tina; is, they would turn round
and round without advancing.
Hence a cow-catchcr was needed
behind to guard against cattle
running INFO it in the rear. II
seemed at first impossible to make
q less weight move greater on
an mp grade; and, for 81 years
afterward, no one invented an en-
CINE able to draw three times it's
own weight, At the present day,
however, locomotives sweep along
with trains more ponderous by Is
or 20 times than they are them
selves. One means of gaining
this vast increase ofpower for the
locomotive, was by divading the
load. 1t was found, that an en-
CINE powerless to stir five times
its weight of freight when concen-
tratcd in one car, conId readily
draw it when distributed in a
dozen cars loosely shackled togeth.
or. 1t was heavier then each SIN.
gle car; and it had overcome the
inertia Of each one, a moment be-
fore it encountered inertia of an
other. 1t was thus more than a
match Cor each,e lear taken singly;and
pulling them successively,it draw
after it a train ms long as a comet,
and the farther it ran the more
strength it had to run further.
Hero was tho story oflittle David
over again. Ordinarily tho strip
lins's weight, as he told Goliath,
was one hundred and twenty, AID
whenever he got mad he aceighed
q tom. Moreover the engine forced
the momentum acquired by every
car it had started, to swell its
own potency in overcoming the
resistance CT all that remained
still motionless.
"This railroad achievement
(making light engine draw a
heavy train), if not 30 common
would seem miraculous; and it is
analogous to an expedicnt for sec.
uring a farm which is equally
simple and equally efficacious.
1t is this:'Divide your paymne,s.
Buying as 1926 settlers have
bought of the Burlington and
Missouri river road in lowa,or Ne.
braska, within the last three years,
OH ten years credit, and at SIX per
cent. interest, you pay in eleven
installments spread over half a
life time, the first not due till
the beginning Of tho third year.
Besides, every acre yOn improve
adds to your paying power, as the
Roadway of every maving car re-
inforces the tracti.o energy OIL
the locomotive"
In purchases made since 1915
nothing is due OH tho principa
until the beginning Of the fifth
year, and then ouly one seventh
annually.
''Divide and conquer" is thu
maxim Of Satan when lie SOW
discord among brethren. Use i
for your good as Satan will TO
Your harm, and as Stephenson die
to multiply the magical forces o
his immortal and world-movins
locomotive. "Get mad and weigl
a ton" Own land and nobod,
shall ever own you. BE your owl
