Shortly after noon the sky In the

grew in intensity. The men perched on

whirling it around, dashed it to rein.
The men were mangled almost beyond

Some of them tell it this way: 'Mr.
Cleveland saw proper during his ad-
ministration to go on the market and
buy up national securities at a rninous
loss to the government in order to re-
lieve the distress of spectators in Wall
street. Mr.. Harrison adopted the
same policy with Celebrations pecul-
iarly republican. Upon another occa-
sion Mr.. Cleveland, in order toprevent
rninous shrinkage in the value of
stocks loaned the banks about sixty
millions of dollars without exacting a
farthing of interest. Mr.. Harrison

Great pieces of the shaggy bark were

for bits of the wood to make
handles for their little hatchets, "

Besides their value as nut-bea, ing
trees-and since nut culture is assum-

hickories are among the most useful
and valuable trees IN the world. The
wood which some Of these trees Weld
has no superior, if, indeed, has an equal
for certain important purposes. 1t is
| the hickory wood in the handle Which,
has carried the American AK around the
| world and has driven, wherever it is
known, all other axes out of the mar
ket. The same wood has made possible
those light carriages which in turn have
made possible the American trotting
horse, one of the maryels of modern
times. No other tree Unknown the wood

the most valuable species of the genus,
though its nuts are not esteemed s.
highly as the pecans. The shell-bark is

Clearing on Snow with Six Engines.

Clearing bH snow with SIX Engines.
\ retired engineer, speaking Of snow
storms. told q story about clearing rail-
road tracks. The road on which he was
running at the time begins or ends,
as you chose, in Jersey City. At one
point on the line there is deep cnt,
Which always gives trouble when a
heavy snow fall occurs. just beyond
the cut is a high iron bridge which
spans q very deep gorge. I'VE were
driving an old-fashioned snow rlow
with six Of our biggest engines said
the engineer. at was regular batter
ing ram work. We would draw back
and smash into that drift like a war
cruiser, until i: seemed as if our string
of engine, must snap in two. But we
just battered away for dear life, grad
ually opening the cnt. We had smashed
our way almost through the big drift
when We backed up for another drive.
We came at the drift like q streak of
lightning. 1t seemed rs if we threw q
million tons of ice and snow as high as
the sky. We did more than that. We
cut through the whole drift as if it were
made of rotten cloth. and came out of
it on 1.-THE jump. Away We went for
that bridge. the six heavy engines
roaring like tornado. [ was driving
the first one, and when l thought Of the
tremendous weight that would hit that
iron span like great cannon-ball my
heart stood still. There was no stop
ping then, so 1 threw oren the thrott e
and let her so. We seemed to iump
from one side of that gorge to the
other without touching the bridge, and
six engineers and six firemen drew long
breaths when we found ourselves safely
on the other side. tearing along the
