PRINCE" KNEW.

We were discussing dogs and their in
stinct and intelligence, when Capt.
Clark, a native of Illinois, related al in
cident that will bear repeating to the
general public.
About ten years ago the Captain pur-
chased some land on the south branch
of the big Wichita River, Texas, and a
few months later went out to make ar
engagements for establishing ranch. He
took with him large shepherd dog of
great natural intelligence. From Fort
Worth he journcycd to within twenty
five miles of his destination by rail. At
the fort he hired horse for a week, got
his directions about the roads, and set
off in good spirits. 1t WAS lovely
weather and bracing atmosphere, and
the Captain was jolly enough until, after
the first five miles had been covered he
noticedthat s'Prince, the dog, was act
ing in very queer manner. Three diff
fercnt times the dog headed the horse
as if to turn him back, aud when this
did not avail he sat down in the road
and howled in the most dismal manner.
The Captain got down to look him over,
but could find nothing wrong. The dog
would look up at him and whine and
bark and run back toward the town, and
when his master refused to follow him
he again set up lamentablc bowling
No slch conduct had ever been noticed
in him before, and the Captain finally
concluded that the dog was "off" on ac-
count of the change OF climate. He
left the town at 3 o'clock in the after
noon, calculating to stop over night at
!. ranch eighteen miles distant, and, af-
Ter wasting a quarter Of an hour with
the dog, he rcmounted and rode on.
Prince howlcd louder than ever, and by
and by followed on, but with his tail
and cars down, as if in great trouble.
Two things happened to prevent til
Captain from reaching the ranch as he
had planned. A thunderstorm drove
him to the shelter Of grove foran hour,
and in pursuing his journey again he got
among the cattle trails and lost his way.
The dog kept up his strange conduct
and once or twice the captain was on
the point of shooting him. believing that
he had gone mad 1t was 0 o'clock in
the evening with another storm threat

cabin on a small creek flowing into the

reach it. In response to his call an evil
looking woman about 40 years old came
to the door and to his request to be ac-
commodatcd for the night she granted a
ready reply in the affirmative. While
the horse was being cared for in a brush
stable, the man Of the house came home,
having been out hunting. He had a
face even more vicious than the woman's
and but for the breaking of the storm
Clark would have resumed his journey.
The supper consisted of hoe cake and
bacon, and the house and everything in
it indicated shi(tlessncss and poverty.
The women had no questions to ask bat

With its valleys green and its mountains

With its oil and corn and winc3
With its mines Of silver and gold, its gems,
Fit for the liinglicst diadcms;
With its cities fair and its prairics free,
Stretching from sen to SEA,
Who wears the sign, on his brow and hand,
OF king in this beautiful land!
Is it lie who holds in his hands the keys
OF the vaults where the gold and silver
hide.
Whose great white ships Oh tho mighty sens
Laden with treasures ride!
Is it he who looks to the cast and west,
And sees, wherever his glanrcS rest,
His own green vines, his fertile fields,
With their evcr-bountiful yiclllS'
Does lie wear the seal and sign
OF king by right divine.
Is it he whose need of noble famc
Is won on tho terrible fields of war?
Whom the nations hail with loud acclaim
As hero and conqueror.
Or is it he who in patience dolves
For the wisdom stored on tho centuries
shelves?
Who seeks with a masters eye to scan
The secrets hidden in natures plano
Shall wc crown the scholar with one accord,
Or him Of the conquering sword.
Is it that one who sings wonderful songs,
Whose lips are touched with the altar fire:
Who sways the heart of the listening throng
AS tho wind the cliorCle;l Tyre:
Is it he who carves from the marble white
His own great thought for the worlds de-
light:
Is it he who paints in colors rare
As those that his own dream-pictures wear,
Shall artist or poet for their renown
Wear the sccptcr and the crown:
Though the poet his trucst song shall sing,
Though the drums Of famo for the soldier
beat,
Though the scholar his trucst lore shall bring
And lay at Il glad wol Ids feet,
Though the picture glow and the Iuarbc

With the beauty born OF the artists dream
Though the land ID lord in hishana shall hold
Treasures of silver and finest gold,
Though crowned with honors fair and fit,
None OF these on the throne shall sit.
Is there then no ono in this beautiful land,
This fairest land on the great round globe,
To wear the ring Oh his royal hand:
To wear the purple robe.
From the cast and the west voice comes

From the smiling south, from the icy north,
From the sounding sea, from tho heights Sc

From the valleys that lie between,

Aye, tho MAN is the king.
The leaf of laurel that genius wears,
The soldiers fame or the learned degrees
That the scholar wins, 10, the voice de-

That the MAN is more than these.
He stands in realm as high and broad
As the heart Of nature, the truth Of God,

For he is twice-crowned king

Dor was out looking at her flowers the
other morning. Her little dog, Rags,
had accompanied her and took it into
his head to lie down picturesquely by
the fence. His mistress, looking down
at him AS he lay curled up there with
his blue ribbon about his neck, clasped
her hands in mock admiration and ex-
claimed, looking steadily at him:
'Ohl don't You think you look aw-
fully nice in your blue ribbon down
there!'
Just as the words "down there" were
out of her mouth she noticed, to her
horror, that the lady next door, whose
intimate acquaintance she had not the
honor of, was exactly in the line of h I
vision In the next yard and that she
wore a blue ribbon oil her hairl The
lady next door looked up in Indignation.
Rags was invisible from where she
stood, and she had no doubt the remark
was addressed to her. She turned
about with a fierce movement, rushed
back into her house and slammed the
door after her. The un~intending au-
thor of the insult in the meantime stood
aghast and helpless.

OUR FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.

The first locomotive imported into
this country was bought in Manches-
ter, England, of the Stephenson
Company, by Kirk Boot, for the
Boston and Lowell Railroad corpor-
alton. 1t arrived in this country in
in 1884, and tor convenience OF trans
portation, had been stripped as far
as possible, aud upou arrival in Bos-
ton was placed on several boats of
the Middlesex Canal Company and
drawn to Lowell. With the locomo-
tive came a planer and tools for
building locomotives, and as soon as
patterns could be prepared new
locomotive was commenced. The
imported machine was put together,
and named " The Stephenson" in
honor of the builder.
The new engine made at Lowell
was named 1.-The Patrick" after the
president of the corporation, Patrick
T. Jackson. This locomotive was
completed three or four days before
the Stephenson made its trip. The
Stephenson weighed eight tons, and
had four wheels, with outside con-
nectlons. The boiler had II3 tubes,
which were small and intended for
burning coal; but in using wood they
became clogged, and in order to
clear them out the locomotive was
stopped, and the fireman cleaned
them with long rod. The coach
which was used in the trip was a
small affair, with seats upon the side.
The first trip was made from Lowell
in June, 1885, and the distance,
twenty six miles, to Boston, made in
seventy-seven minutes. The return
trip was made in eighty minutes.
ohm Barrett was the first conduc-
tor and Eli Cooper, the engineer.

were drummers every one, but not one
would go. When people speak of
drummers as kickers they are way off.
They will put up with more and do less
complaining than any other class of
men on earth. In the present case one
of them spoke for all when he SAID:

be righted, but we are here only for

''You don't oversee the meals"
"No."
"Well, please go to the head table
and taste the milk, examine the pota-
toes and smell of the soup"
He departed at once. When he re-
turned he was hopping mad. The head
waiter was called out and dressed down,
the head cook got nicely peeled, and
the landlord shook my hand and said /:
"That kick of yours will benefit this
house $1,000. l had no idea things
were running thus
The natural inference with him was
that as long as no one kicked every
thing must be going all right and every
body satifed. A thousand men had no
doubt gone away mad and injured his
house.

The passengers were: Patrick T.
Jackson, James F. Baldwin, the en-
gineer, Major George F. Whistler,
and associates. Directly after the
opening of the road, "The Patrick"
was put on. and after running four
years The Stephenson" was put
in the machine shop and made over
by Eli Cooper and others.
Mr.. Cooper is now living in Wo-
burn, Mass, at the age of "a. He
was born in Stockport, England,
December I6, 1904, and came to
this country with his parents in 1906.
In 1924 he went to Lowell, where he
learned the machine trade, and
worked for the Locks and Canals
Company, the Lowell Machine Shop,
and the Boston and Lowell Railroad

HOW SHERMAN HEARD WEBSTER,

In 1850 General Sherman, then
Lieutenant Sherman, was in Wash
lngton for short time and learning
that Webster was to make speech
in the Senate, was extremely anxious
to hear him. On Fastening to the
Capitol, however, he found the gal
leries crowded, and seemed likely to
lose the only opportunity he would
ever have of listening to the famous
orator. Finally he sent in his card
to Senator Corwin. whom he had
met on several occasions, and said to
him when he appeared
Mr.. Corwin, am very anxious
to hear Mr.. Webster speak today"
"Well, why don't you go into the
gallery?'

ready full and running over, and ex-

"Well these are the only privi-
legged persons.
l then told him he knew well
enough who was, and if he chose
he could take me in.
"Have you any imprudence?" he
demanded. DO you think you
could become so interested in my
CONVEX sation as not to notice the
doorkeeper?"
| told him there wasn't the least
doubt of it if he would tell me one
of his funny stories. Upon that he
took my arm and led me a turn in
the vestibule, talking about some
indifferent matter, but all the time
directing my looks to his left hand,
toward which he was gesticulating
with his right.
In this manner we approached the
doorkeeper, who began asking me,
Foreign ambassador? Governor Of
state? Member of Congress ?"
But caught Corwin's eye, which
said plainly, Don't mind him; pay
attention to me-" and in this way
we entered the Senate Chamber by
a side door.
Once in, Corwin said "Now you
can take care of yourself" and |
thanked him cordially. l found

near General Scott, and heard the
