A DIFFICULT FEAT.
Raising a Locomotive That Had
Been Plunged Into a Muddy

Raising a Locomotive That Had
Been Plunged Into a Muddy
River.
San Francisco Call.
On August 10 a locomotive went
through the big ferry boat and plunged
pilot first into the waters of CarQuineZ
straits, the tender and cars remaining
on the ferry boat. The water was deep
enough to cover the cab, but not enough
to let the boat out of the slip. The loco
motive stood practically vertical, and its
nose was deep in the mud.
On the night of the 10th a large pair
of shears, made of 12X12-inch timbers,
crossed at the top, was built up on the
end of the boat and some large pulleys
hung where he timberS crossed. Then
a diver spent several hours in fastening
a number of cables on either side of the
frame under the boiler. Four engines
were attached to the ropes, but could
not start the locomotive, although the
strain was so great that a cable nearly
three inches in diameter was broken.
Finding the appliances of insufficient
strength, the shears were doublediu SIZE
and a fifth engine taken Oh board.
On the nth another trial was made.
1t was hard to get The engines to pull
exactly together, and as their wheels
would slip and revolye the cables would
snap and the tackle generally would be
badly strained. Finally a simultaneous
pull started the mass, and the cab
slowly appeared above the water, and
the engine was gradually lifted until
somewhat higher than the floor of the
ferryboat. Tackle from a steam dredger
stationed in the front of the ship was
then attached to the forward end of the
locomotive, which was pulled out in
this way. The shears were hen swung
slowly backward over the deck of the
ferry, ana the engine gradually lowered
to the tracks it had left. When it was
hauled to the neighboring roundhouse
and the mud washed off, it was found
! that but little damage had been lone
beyond the splintering of the cab by the
| cables.

Trespassers Take Warning. New Hartford Trihuna.I

The season of berry picking is here, and the season Of nutting and hunting is fast approaching. It may be we'll to call attention to section 1454 of the Re- vised Statutes of Connecticut, which reads as follows:
 Every person who shall knowingly and unlawfully throw down or leave open any bars, gate or fence upon the land of another, or who shall enter upon the enclosed land of another, without permission of the owner, occupant, or person in charge thereof, for the pur- pose of hunting, trapping, fishing, taking or destroying the nests or eggs of birds, or gathering nuts, fruits or berries, shall be fined not less than one, nor more than fifty dollars, or in default of the pay ment of the fine, be imprisoned not ex. ceeding thirty days.
 The owner of the land is authorized in section 1455 to arrest any person vio- lating the preceding section and take him before magistrate for prosecution according to law.
 Property owners in and about this and other villages are greatly annoyed by trespassers who enter their grounds trample grass and crops, and steal fruit berries and nuts almost before the eye. of the owners. A few prosecutions un der the law would be good lesson te those who need admonishing in this respect

Made Up Their Quarrel.

A hardware store on Main street, Manayunk, is the headquarters of sev- eral old citizens, who congregate daily to gossip politics, ancient history, and tell stories of their individual trials and troubles before they retired from active business life. Jokes and tricks, inno- cent and harmful, are constantly prac- ticed on each other, much to the amuse- ment of the purchasers of nails, paint and putty. About thirty years ago Ben Davis and Joe Winpenny differed over statement made by the latter. Davis, who doubted the story, requested Win penny to put it in writing before he would believe the yarn. Winpenny, who was angry that his veracity could be questioned by any present, resented the charge and left the store, with VOW never to speak to Davis until he asked his pardon. Yesterday Davis relented after the long space of time and they shook hands over the wide chasm. Tears were in the eyes of the old vets present at the reunion.-Philadelphia Record.

A True Bird Story.

My friend, James Shanock, threeyears ago caught young lark, and it has been pouring out its song ever since then from its cage, and a very sweet note it is Some little while ago, as the afternoon was sunny, the cage was hung outside in the garden at the moment another lark was carohng in the air, and Shanock's s bird rose from the cage, which was only covered with a fine net, and in which there must have been rent, and disap- peared in the direction of the other lark. My friend, seeing this, at once began to whistle, holding up the cage to attract his pet back again, and in a very short time down it came to his feet and waited patiently while he gently replaced it in it's cage. There were three witnesses. l believe, in this case.
 The funniest thing, too, is that about the same time James Shanock's cat brought him in little bird quite deli cately and waited for him to take 1t from its mouth quite uninjured. He is a great bird lover, and it looks as if the cat, like everybody else, knew this fact. London Spectator.

Why We Are Slack In Speech.

We do not demand careful speech of our children because we do not know it ourselves. We rebuke them dozen times for some breach of etiquette with teaspoon or a dish, but we do not think to say, "Stop-decide first what you want to say, and then say it clearly and brief ly." We do not think of it because we do not do it ourselves, and not doing 1t we do not notice it in others.
 But when we are sick talking tires us, and when we are not sick, but suffering from nervous exhaustion, this driveling speech becomes indeed burden. The tired brain droops under the flood of su- perhuous words, climbs wearily over the gaps of words omitted and stumbling blocks of words misplaced, allows for known peculiarities, ilumines by past experience, winnows the words and picks out the thought-only to find it some to- tally irrelevant statement, some mere overflow of a low banked brain, that need not have been said at all.-Char- lotte P. Stetson in Kate Fields Wash- ngtan.

Helping Each Other.

A gentleman who had travelled exten- sively through the south was one even- ing seated in one of those proverbial cor ner grocery stores in small village talk ing to the people and commenting upon the unstinted hospitality of the people. A tall, cadaverous looking chap, who had listened to him intently, interrupted:
 That's so, stranger. When a man comes among we uns an does what's right, we uns ain't the people to see him suffer when he's down on his back an can't help himself. We're just going to raise him up."
 And they do raise him up." If he is sick, they till his ground, feed his cattle, cut his wood and in various ways render him assistance On the eastern shore of Maryland and Virginia this custom is universal, and many sick man has si- lently made his grateful prayers for blessings on his neighbors for the great stacks of chips and split wood that have been gathered about his yard, and for the hams and flour and other necessaries that have been placed in his smokehouse.- Philadelphia Times.
