AT TIE ENGINE.
How the brave Eien Obey Orders with

How the brave Eien Obey Orders with
out Flinching Ia the Engine Room.
The light from the electric lamps is
reflected in patches on the smooth steel
beams of the engine. In and ost, in
and out like shuttles weaving, work the
rods, their perfect rythm of motion and
precision of movement giving no hint
of the great speed at which the giant
vessel is cleaving her way.
Days have passed without a signal
from above, the engines throbbing
steadily Everything is repose; the in
cesSant motion of the machinery is so
common to the men that they do not
notice it, The deck may be ever so
noisy and these men, buried in the
bowels of the ship, would never know it.
Suddenly the great signal gong sounds
upon the stiffness a single resonant
clang-stop. The engineer and his as
sistant are at their posts in an instant; {;
the engines stop. This, the first signal
for hours, yes, days, means to them
nothing, but that it must be instantly
obnyed
lt may be man overheard; it may
be in another instant some vessels Prov
will cut tile ship in two or the ship it.

know their orders; the bell has spoken
stop
With hands upon the wheels they
stand waiting, every nerve strained, in
utter ignorance of what the signal
means Soldiers in action see the dan
ger; the officers on deck know what is
going on. but these men know nothing
but duty.
A moment passes without word in
that narrow room. Strong hands are
ready for the next order. 1t comes,
"clang, clang," reverse the engine. y
The lever is drawn forward, the valves
open, and, obedient to the touch, the
great piston rods move again.
The seconds seem ages; one, two
minutes and then-an awful crash,
a grinding and the vessel staggers,
"Clang," goes the great gong and still
at the posts quick hands stop the en-
gine. ''Ting-a-ling-a- -a-ling," ''ting-a
ling-a-ling" quit the engine" comes
the signal
While confusion has reigned above
these silent men have stood to theil
posts until this order came. They rusf
to the deck. The vessel is filling, {

with the ice, and all hands turn to tn

Tt Brought Him Good Luck, He Thought,
and He Rewarded Its Donor.
A group of Colorado mine owners
stood talking before the desk of the
Grand Pacific hotel office when a boy
who had carried messages for one of
them showed a dime savings bank be-
fore their faces and coolly asked for a
few dimes to swell his collection.
Come, boys, be free with your sill
ver" the little youngster spoke out,
and the rich men responded because
they admired his cheek, and the words
free" and ''silver" touched their
hearts.
well, that boy got his mascot dimes
when he touched u.s." remarked one
mine owner
Speaking about mascot money"
said Henry b. Gillespie, of Aspen, Colo,
reminds me of how poor Kit Carson,
otherwise j. G. Carson, once treasured
a silver half crown given him by a sue
cessful Colorado miner. Kit is dead,
but the story lives in the centennial
state along with the pleasant memo
res of the we'll known man. Luck
seemed against Kit, and he was forced
to suffer the spectacle of a number of
his confreres striking rich mines. One
day he asked one of his more fortunate
friends for a mascot or fetish, so to
speak. He wanted something that
would bring him good luck. The
friend gave him an old English half
crown piece that he had carried for
years and speedily forgot the occur
renee.
Some time later the giver while in
Denver was accosted on the street by
his tailor, who told him to come down
and try on the elegant broadcloth sui
just finished for him.
But, my dear sir, l never ordered
a broadcloth suit, said the now excited
man.
Yes you did, and you are coming
down to try it on and pay for it, or III
sue you, said the tailor with a well
feigned display of anger

the measurements of the last suit he
I had ordered, and he pronounced it q
perfect fit. But, look here, Mr. Tailor,
didn't order 1928 suit of broad
cloth
The tailor thought the fun had pro
ceeded far enough. He informed the
miner that man who would not give
his name, and who simply displayed al
old, worn half crown, had ordered th'
suit for his friend and had paid for it.
"'Kit Carson was all the mine

the tailor handed him and walked

The cost Of drilling a gas well is
about 81, 500, but gas is supplied so
cheaply 10 consumers that no one
thinks of drilling a well except for a
factory or mill The city Of Findlay,
o., owns a number of fine wells and
has pipes under all the streets Gas is
furnished to consumers for fifteen cents
a month for each CRATE or stove, and
the consumer is permitted TO burn as
much or as little AS he chooses.
The gas has a distinct and perne-
ating sulphuric odor, so that it is safer
for household use than manufactured
gas, as it cannot escape without being
quickly detected. Gas is a great luxury
as a fuel. There Is no smoke, dirt or
expensive manipulation connected with
IT, II is easily managed and burns with
a beautiful blue flame that emits an In
tense heat that never varies In degree.

1t all seems very easy as you look
down through the little door on the
mezzanine floor at the postoffic and see
the clerks below tossing letters around.
1t seems the most natural thing in the
world for the letter to go straight into
the little rack it Is aimed at when the
clerk is standing at least ten feet away.
But it isn't so easy. 1t takes long prac-
tice before it can be done. The clerks
have to go to school, in fact, and work
away for weeks at throwing letters.
The railway mail service makes ex-
acting demands in this direction too.
Over in the postofilce is a room that it
is interesting to look in on. There the
clerks in the railway mail service have
to go once in awhile and show that
they have not been falling behind in
efficiency. They are put through their
PAGES and the results are carefully
noted. The service has 20 use for in
competents, and there is not the
slightest chance for man who is not
quick and efficient. New York Times.

be the onlyiway to make the game q
success here. The managers claim
1T has been uphill work to maintain
a good team here because good clubs
could not always be had to contest
with.
A good valley league should be
worked MP, as there is no trouble in
securing baseball public at the Cap
ital City with any management at
all.
Messrs. Sta nley, Collett and Reilly
of the Salem Baseball club, return
to San Francisco this evening. They
leave a host of friends, who will
always wish them well aud extend
them warm welcome should they
ever return 10 Salem.
Not few Salem ladies' hearts are
huttering over the departure of that
most graceful baseball catcher-Matt
Stanley. These grand stand visitors
always gave him hearty support,
and in all accidents extended sym.
pathy that was prompt aud genuine.
Although mostly strangers they hate
to lose him just the sans.

This proved so embarrassing TO the
visitor that when soup was passed TO
him he upset it, spilling the scalding

The mishap was too ludicrous 10 ez-
