HARD on Railroad Engineers.

"These fast trains have played the
mischief with engineers, said railroad
man. 1t is a fact that almost daily you
hear Of one Of these royal knights Of the
lever suffering from a paralytic stroke
Tho rapid time made puts every engineer
on such a strain that is is only a aues-
tion Of few months until the nervous
system collapses. / remember seeing the
statement some time ago, end do not
doubt its truth that there Is a train run
ming from St. Paul 20 Saltwater. on tho
Omaha, that is called the hospital train.
for every man who runs with It has either
had stroke Of paralysis or has been in
Jured IN some way or other. But in this
day and age, when everything goes at
lightning speed, ON railroads and in bust
ness alike, | suppose little heed is given
TO these poor fellows who drop by the
wayside, in reality victims Of the greed
of their fellow man. 4" ~ Chicago Tribune.

OF New Hampshiro's convention to con-

United States, and TO him we are largely
indebted for the fact that that state was
the ninth to ratify and thus sesIre the

New Hampshire's convention met I'M
February, 1888, and in the first test vote
there was a small majority against rati-
flying. Then Josiah Bartlett, John Sulh-
van, John Langdon, Samuel Livermore
and John Pickering entered The arena,
and by pure force of truth, eloquence
and ardent patriotism saved the day.
The opposition asked an adjournment to
consult their constituents; it was granted,
and when the convention reassembled the
constitution was adopted by n vote Of 81
to 40, on June 81 at / o'clock D. m, Just
four days before Virginia ratified In
1890 DR.. Bartlett was elected president
Of New Hampshire, and in 1893 governor

The melons popularity is to be put to

He was born at Amesbury Nov. 81, 1920,
and after obtaining o good academic edu-
cation studied medicine. and began TO
practice at Kingston, N. II. He repre-
sented that place in the colonial legisla-
ture of 1865, and in the preliminary dis
cussions between Great Britain and the
colonists he took very active part on the
side Of liberty. After receiving asvaluable
appointment from the royal governor he
was deprived of IL for being an uncompro-
missing Wing In the meantime he had
emerged triumphantly from professional
fight, which Is seldom mentioned in his
tory, though it marked an epoch.
In 1904 there was q great epidemic Of
angina maligna," which we might define
as malignant catarrhal fever, complicated
with what we now call malaria" Dr.
BARTLETT prescribed quinine as a tonic and
anti-periodic; the older school Of physicians
condemned him, and % wordy war ragged
for some time, but experience fully iusti-
fed DR. Bartlett's course, and the practice
recommended by him has since been estab-
lished as the regular thing in medicine.
10 should be added that at that time
Peruvian bark was the agent most en-
ployed instead Of quinine.
In TIA he boldly advocated q prepara-

is down so that common man can have

Such is the cclored Americans verdict,
and to no other class does the cheapening
of the watermelon bring such Joy. The
watermelon is emphatically the darky's
fruit, and the more recently he has ar
rived from the south the more ardently
does he love the melon, always with the
statement that ''dese melons amt like we
git 'um down thar" Only ten days ago
the first melons were offered for sale, and
daily since that date the darlSies have
watched the huckster stands and studied
prices. The market is now well supplied,
the price is low and the darky is happy.

Gold Watches.

Only few years ago the owner of a
gold watch was regarded wealthy indi-
vidual. 1t is not so now. In fact, near
ly everybody carries gold watch or'the
semblance of one nowadays, and owners
OF silver-cased watches are just a trifie
ashamed to expose them to view. The
young man with a gold watch consults it
frequently and ostentatiously, while the
owner of a silver watch slyly takes it
from his pocket, holds it well concealed
in the palm of his hand, and glances at
it under the shadow of his coat. A
dealer says "If your watch cost $3.50 q
dozen years ago you can buy better one,
for 500 to-day, and if it was a 800
watch then you would have to pay 500
or $65 for it now. Gold is just the same
price per pennywcight now, but move z
mcnts are much cheaper. Watch move,
ments of standard American make are
way down. Without mentioning any
names will tell you that the movements
in common use in gold watches OF the
cheapest grades are from $40 to $22
each and some of the best movements
are worth at wholesale about $50 or $35.
Of course, you can get the fin st Ameri-
can movements up in the high figures
vet, but the best will not exceed S8I,
and you will not see one of them in a
watch in q year. A watch costing $50
at retail will probably have $40 move
ment in it. It will be cased in solid
fourteen karat gold if the dealer is Civ
ing you the worth of your money, and
the case will weigh from forty-tive to
fifty pcnnyweights. That at present
rates will leave him good profit with
which he should be contented. Eigh-
teen karat gold will cost the dealer TWEEN
ty-six cents pcnnyweight more than
fourteen karat 'and it will be no advan-
tage to the wearer of the watch."--Mss.
