IT CALLED IN VAIN.
A locomotives Plaintive Cry and How
It Affected the Engineer.

A railroad roundhouse was IN
flames. Fire had leaped, apparently
in self born demon, out of the waste
box, and before a hand could be
found with the skill to "pull out" its
waiting locomotives, some of them
with boilers full of water and low
fires, it was too late. For it was a
small roundhouse in a small town,
and lone watchman had been left to
take care of il, and it was nigh mid
night. His loud call summoned a
concourse of citizens In breathless
haste, but all they could do was to
stand and see the great sheet OF fire
from the pitched room and how the
inhammable materials inside made
every locomotive stall a caldIon of
fire, and all the windows glared, all
the doors poured out smoke, and
roar, and. the long flames. There
stood the steam giants plainly vls-
ible, vibrating in the intense heat,
unapproachable as though set
in the internal regions. Still it was
a fire where the element of human
danger was all missing. Suddenly,
long and dolorous, one Of these en-
gines began to sound the danger
signal. Heat within and without
made its boiler shake with the leap
of fiercely boiling water. A bit of
falling iron bent and pulled down.
ward the lever moving its escape
valve so it could and did sound cease
lessly. Loud, thrilling, it was a note
of terror. 1t awed every hearer.
Listen, some day, thoughtfully to the
danger signal of locomotive. Even

reaches the dull intelligence Of slow
est beasts as warning. The solemn
power, then, of this cry, apparently
raises by the will of the engine itself,
in the midst of its torture, was in
describable. It was hard not to feel
that it was sentient thing pleading
for help. 1t pealed on an
urgent monotone, the tremulons
voice of senseless force. One man
heard it, distressed by it beyond tell
ing. He was its engineer. The en-
CINE he loved with the peculiar at
tachments these men have for the
thing of power they control seemed
to be crying to him voluntarily with
the appeal his hand had often
evolved from it. He wanted to plunge
in to its rescue. The fiery furnace
of the Hebrew children was matched
by its surroundings, and he could
only listen and tremble and let it
call in vain. 1t was all a curious bit
of pathos, evolved wholly from ma
terial things by chance, and costing
not a pang to its source, yet it
touched and saddened every soul
that heard it. But none of them
could quite comprehend the feeling
of its driver or know how pitifulfy
the next morning he touched his
gray, burned-out, ruined giant that
had poured its shriekainto his ears for

Big Profit in Sheep.

That there is a large profit in sheep
there is no doubt, and to show our
farmers what may be done in this line
we published a few facts furnished us
by l.. A. Green. He bought since
Christmas los ewes, which cost him
81 per head. making total of $500.
He sold lambs from these ewes to the
amount of 500. wool to the amount Of
$203, has 55 lambs still on hand. which
are worth $3.50. He still has the ewes,
and values them at $3.50. making total
of 1913; a profit of 1888.
Mr.. Green informs us that he has
not fed these sheep exceeding three
barrels OF corn, the cost of keeping
them being a trivial matter. These
are plain facts, and speak louder in
behalf Of sheep raising than any thing
else that might DO said. There is
nothing so sure of large profits as
sheep raising. With but little cost or
trouble flock Of sheep will in one year
more than double in value. About the
greatest risk is the ravages of dogs.

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

THERE are 2lS clubs OF women in

political economy.
A WoRKINGwoMEN's Society formed
in Detroit. Mich, ten years ago, to
care for girls out OF employ and
secure situations, has just dedicated
magnificent building.
The women OF Delaware have united
to compel legislative action in the mat
ter Of the protection of young girls.
The present legal limit of protection is
seven years, and the women of the
State are demanding that it be raised to
eighteen years.
The more radical friends OF the cause
say (what to an American seems almost
self-evident) that there is no reason in
the world why married women should
not vote. They even take the extreme
position that they will oppose the
passage Of any bill which does not in
clude married women.

Queen of Saxony is her education of

The great Centennial is over. That
1t was magnificent occasion goes with
out saying. Only one criticism will be
made when the scene is contemplated
in the perspective OF history-the
women-patriots were totally ignored.
The white male dynasty was at the
fore in full force, and even Whittier,
the noblest friend OF woman that Amer
lean manhood counts, made no allusion
to us in his magnificent poem Of the
day. Men everywhere and all the
time; spectacle of halfness; of the
onesidedness that now irsperils the Re-
public; and with no realization what
ever of the absurdity of their position
in thus ruling the Lords heritage of
humanity.
Their blindness to the real situation,
to the most significant feature OF the
century-"woman' discovery OF her.

phrase-was after all the most i'm
pressive feature OF the occasion. Its
only parallel is the sublime stolidity
of the Car, the Emperor and the King,
to the fact that the only actual King.

taken up the calling, the ''divine right"
by which these puppets OF an hour are
supposed to rule; the Satanic wrong"
of the century, to be put away before
another century gets itself we'll under

But after all we must not blame the
individual representative of world-old
wrongs, whether he is an Old-World
despot or male voter in our own New
World. They stand for all the past that
has placed them where they are. But
evolution has them in its blessed, yet
relentless, mill; Gods mill that grinds

Leave eight to ten inches under the
