An Engineers Joke.

Mr.. Smith tells of en- instance ILLUS.
tratipg the methods of Mexican admin.
istration of justice in connection with
railways.
A friend of mine was on trial for his
life on a charge of manslaughter down
near Quintero. He had been running
passenger train and had the misfortune
to kill man walking on the track. He
had been in jail for several months, and
finally Minister Osborne, who was then
in Mexico, succeeded in having his case
brought to trial. Now, the Mexicans
never listen to expert testimony. They
might hear you and me in our own de.
fence, but unless ne could corroborate
testimony by some tangible support like
physical substsntiation ne would cut but
poor figure.
In the case I refer to the authorities in.
sisted upon having the engineer repro
duce precisely the condition of affairs
which led to the accident. Accordingly,
the railroad company had to rig up
train of cars, precisely like thatin which
the accident occurred. 1t had to be load.
ed with just as many people as the origi-
nal train had on board. It had to have
the same engine and be taken to the pre-
else spot where the accident occurred. A
dummy figure was prepared to stand in
the exact spot where the man was killed.
Then the jury were to get on the train,
and the administrator de justice" was
to take seat in the cab and observe the
effects of the engineer to stop it in time.
Now, the engineer who was demonstra.
ting the problem was the friend of the
man on trial. He intended to show the
"administrador" something he had never
before seen. The idea was to take the
train over the same track. They went up
the road about FIVE miles and then switch.
ed to come back for the object lesson. The
dummy was set up on the track. The
"administrador" took his place in the cab,
leaning more than half his body out to
better observe the figure, for he vas to
give the signal when to stop. The engi-
peer let her out with grin. BE was
not to travel more than thirty miles an
hour, but when the administrator"
waved his hand to check her-"man on
the track"-he was going fifty.
The fireman pulled the whistle, the en-.
gineer sprang to his reverse lever and mis-
sandbox and gave her all the air there
was in The pump. In less than second
Che administrator de justice" was cut Of
the csb window into the ditch with q
broken ankle, thejury in ths frstpassen'
ger car was piled into promiscuous
mass, the pufer coupler was smashed, the
stove was upset, and yet the momentum
was so great that the engine struck the
straw man and knocked it twenty feet in
the air. The reault of that object lesson
was that the administrator" lay in bed
for six weeks, the enginees war acquitted
and the jury petitioned the Legislature of
Choacan for change in the laws.-CAi-

THE ToWRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.


The TownvilIe High School, we like it so
much,
We think no other village could ever
afford such;
1t is composed of girls, both large and
small,
Some are slender, some are tall
Some have blue eyes, others gray,
And always respect and their teacher
obey.
1t is also composed of many boys, too,
Who are always busy with something to
But remember and listen again while I
Tisn't always work, for it is sometimes
play;
Of course we all know that boys are mis-
chievous,
If you have ever dealt with them you'll
certainly believe US.
They are always bright and so full of fun,
And never too tired or too lazy to run;
Some have nice copy books, others have
not.
Some are all stained With fingers and blots
Some have clean faces, others have not,
Some talk great deal, others do not.
Sc now if you'll listen III few of them
name,
For each like the other, thinks no group
the same;
There's Burder, Edgar, Chevis and Jord,
Who are very studious aud miss very few
words,
There's Lewis and Vandiver, Gus and
Frank,
Who are always ready with their noisy
pranks.
We have four Johns now in our school,
And none of them are rude or difficult to
rule;
Now of course can't name them all as
But in Z our school there are plenty more

In the "Rules and Regulations con.
ceruiug Peabody Scholarships" this item
appears. "Good breeding, politeness
and pleasant manner should be counted
in q candidates favor" So it may
sometimes pay to be polite and have
pleasant manners. Another item reads
thus: "The ability to think and to-rea-
son is of more Importance than mere st
tainment Of facts and rules. General
intelligence and brightness may of set
some deficiencies in mere book learning"
This is very important. and every teacher
should strive to teach the pupils how ''to
think aud to reason" And still another
item is as follows: "Persous of sluggish
or indolent tempe.ameuts, of slovenly
habits, or of vicious dispositions, should
be rejected at once" These things
should be overcome, if possible, in the
school room. That is part of the teach
era work.

charge, but they were 30 thoroughly
whipped that they refueed to advance. AS
darkness fell be began bis retreat to the
pass, and he made no halts Of any con-
sequence until reaching his yillarge, one
hundred miles away.
None of his dead was removed, but all
the wounded were taken away. Three
years later he gave his figures on the
fight. Out of his force of $50 men, he
reached home with only 1919 who had es-
capped scot free. He lost in killed l4l,
and had al wounded, more or less Sc
verely. OF his 4S9 ponies, he lost at
least half. Gordon's party picked up
enough lances and rifles to at least load
wagon. They also got large amount
of ammu. ition and other plunder.
Among the Indian dead were two famous
medicine men and four sub chiefs, and
Gerry was among the slain. He had not
been killed by the white men, but Eagle
Feather slew him with his own hand as
he relreated. 1t was not his intention to
open the fight as he did, but Gerry had
assured him that the mounted warriors
could ride over all opposition.
Direct results were bad enough for the
tribe, but di.sensions followed to make
matters worse. Eagle Feather was de-
posed and became renegade, and the
tribe was divided into three or four fac
tions which could never again be reuni-
ted. The Kiowas, to the East, took eve
ry advantage of the split, and the Apa-
ches raided in from the West with great
vigor, and within three years q tribe
which had ranked as the richest and most
powerful in the West was scattered and
broken. Had not the government stepped
in and taken care of the remnant, the
Comanches would have been extermina-
ted to the last representative.

A Statement From Juror Goodwin.

influence, OF whatever character, should
deter him from an honest expression of his
