which have been backed together with
sufficient speed TO demolish the cabs and
smoke stacks and leave only the mechani-
cal parts. At any rate there Is but one
smoke stack In the center, and instead OF
a tender there are coal bunkers resting
astride the boilers. On the whole, 1t Is
such peculiar looking machine that,
doubtless, horses who have got used TO the
old locomotive on seeing this one will
have TO get used to such contrivances all
over again.
The machine is the invention Of DIR.

Robert Burdette has surely discov.
cred the man who thinks the whole
world OF journalism will collapse if he
revenges himself by crying, ''Stop my

There are l.4oO, 100000 people
living on the planet which we inhabit.
And yet there is now and then man
who wonders what the rest of us will
do when be dies. There are people in
society who honestly think that all
the world closes it's eyes when we lie
down to sleep. There are men who
fear to act according to their own
convictions, because, perhaps, ten
persons in crowd OF 400, 600, 900
will laugh at them. Why, if a man
could only realize every moment what
a bustling, busy, fussy important lit

which was recently read at a G. A. r.
meeting: Invent to sleep, and when
| aWoke saw old Lookout Mountain
again for the first time since the war,
and more conflicting emotions than I
can count, shook me up as lively as
railroad collision. 1t didn't break any
bones, but l haven't got my nerves all
set yet. I kept my eyes on the mount
and my thoughts on many things con-
nected Herewith, till Missionary Ridge
claimed part of my attention, and [
guess felt patriotic, when thousands
of white gravestones in the National
Cemetery showed up bold between ne
and the Ridge was looking at, and
for minute it seemed that each tomb
stone was as big as mountain. My
boy! the names of many of your pa
pas comrades are chiseled on those
headstones, and every name recorded
there is the name Of a lover of our
country, who started to help his love
in her time of trouble, and got stopped.
Our country remembers it's dead low
ers, and for twenty years now, has
kept their graves green, their home
beautiful, their names bright,and their
loved colors high above all.
Sometime l shall visit Chattanooga
again. | hope, when can look longer
at sights interesting to me. I had
cup of coffee at Chickamauga, and
took four hours to make the run from
the Tennessee River to Atlanta!--the
last time I made the trip, it took four
months.
