Lauer did some hard thinking He knew
that the roadbed was in terrible condi-
tion. and that TO run over twenty miles
was aking desperate chances. Lauer had
lots of nerve, but he felt the responsible
ity imposed on him by the officials in
placing Gould in his hands. He concluded
finally TO use his own judgment, take
no chances and stick closely TO the sched-
ule time.
Between Marshall and Galveston the
schedule called for 325 miles TO be made
between dark and daylight. Jay Gould
did not retire early, and on that night
seemed particularly wideawake. He sat
reading a newspaper by a dim light. and
every once In a while glanced out the
window impatently. 1t was evident that
the great man was becoming angry. Final
ly the storm burst. Turning TO one Of the
officials accompanying him, he remarked
testify:
IF this were funeral train 1t couldn't
possibly travel in a more decorous man
ner. Steam up and let us go along"
The gentleman spoken to was aware
that the night ride had been specially ar
ranged i'm order that the condition Of the
roadbed could be concealed from Gould,
but. thus forced, he had nothing TO do but
to order an increase Of speed. The order
was given, but the train moved along at
the same speed
Send the engineer to me-" said Gould,
I'll talk to him"
At the next stopping place Lauer was
summoned and given 10 understand that
he was not capable of driving a car horse,
much less running an engine.
Get along! Push herl Let's see what
the machine can dot" urged Gould.
Lauer demurred, and the railroad mag
nate concluded that he was afraid. He's
a coward" he finally said; put another
man In charge"
Lauer overheard me remark and flushed
up. IAN right" he said. ven open her
up"
In few moments the little special was
speeding through the night at the rate of
forty-fve miles an hour. 1t was a ride TO
be remembered. The cars rocked from
side 10 side, creaking in every joint, and
now and then lifting as if about to leave
the track. Everybody chung 10 some sup
port, those who knew the condition of the
roadbed expecting TO be hurled into eter-
nifty every minute.
Lauer sat at the throttle watching the
rails as they cleaned like silver threads
He was as pale as those in the train be-
hind but, as he remarked in telling the
story:
I'D have gone up with pleasure before
/ would have given that little cuss the
chance TO say 1 was squealer.
once he looked back at the swaying
train and said He won't stand it long"
The engineer was right. At a particu-
larly bad place the bell-cOrd was Jerked
and the train brought 10 a standstill. Jay
Could was picked from under seat,
where he had been thrown. and angrily
faced the engineer. who had come back
to the car.
what ir the name Of all that is good
and holy, do you mean?' he demanded.
do you want TO Kill us alp
you said you wanted me to pull her
OPEN" replied Lauer quietly.
Gould gared at the man moment and
his manner changed.
My man." he said. you go back there
and use your own judgment the rest of
the trip. | know how to manipulate a
railroad, but | guess you know more than
do about running an engine" Then he
was assisted to his berth.-San Antonio
Express.

AMERICAN IITER4TURE.
German Studies Have Played an Impor
tant Part i'm Its Development.

| tant Part in Its Development.
DIR. a. NJ. Learned, of the Johns Hop
kins University. began series Of lee
lures at Strawbridge Methodist Episcopal
| church last night on Studies in Ameri-
can Literature" This lecture was the
first (Nlr. Learned says move in an at
| tempt for regular university extension
in the city. Or. Learned, in his lecture,
| said 1T is my plan 10 organize sys-
! TEN of literary studies, and TO show the
students the influence German has on
American literature. To properly study
these German influences we must 80 back
to the time of the settlements Of the
Germans in this country, about the seven
teenth century. Although many histo-
rians have failed TO recognize the impor-
lance of German culture in this country,
vet il will be found that for more than
a century before 1900 a strong current
Of German life and literature was flowing
from the Fatherland TO America.
"Our real interest in German influence
on American thought, IS expressed in
it's literature, begins with the nineteenth
century with the studies of Bancroft,
Longfellow, Emerson, Margaret Fuller
and others. one Of the most brilliant
careers ever made by foreign student
at a German university was that OF
George Bancroft. the historian. who grad
uated with a degree Of PHI. ID. before he
was twenty years old. The importance OF
Bancroft's studies in Germany for Ameri-
can historical science has only begun 10
be appreciated. The influence Of German
thought of the nineteenth century ltera-
ture however is due in large measure
to the labors Of Thomas Carlyle, who was
the inevitable mediator in literature be-
tween the German and English-speaking
ppoDle Carlvle's interest in German lit
erature was aroused by his desire TO read
Werners scientific writings in the origi-
nal His friend. Edward Irving. Of Edin-
burgh. gave him a German dictionary,
but the grammar had TO be brought from
London. Finally he exchanged French
for German lessons with an old school
friend Just returning from Germany in
1919. In 1920 he had read Goethe
Faust" and published an article upon 1t
in the Edinburgh Review in April, 1872.
In Goethe, Carlyle found an answer to his
problems of life. and he was TO him his
sympathetic genius. To Miss Welch he
writes on April g. 1923: Goethe's feelings
are as various as the hues Of earth and
sky, but his intellect is the sun that illu-
inmates and overrules them ALL. Car
lyle's works In German follow in quick
succession in the next ten years from
1872. He published more than dozen es-
saws. treatises and TRANSACTIONS.
"I.ongfellow first visited Germany In
1925. The German studies that he had
kept up at intervals were renewed in 1885,
I'm order TO fit him for the chair for pro-
lessor Of modern languages at Harvard.
He Travelled through several countries of
Europe studying the respective languages
under distinguished tutors. "-Baltimore

In grading road of solid salt in what is
known as tho Death valley we found a
stretch OF solid salt about eight miles across.
There was scarce level square inch on the
whole bed, for the salt crust had--probnbly
through the influence of heat from above
and moisture from below-been torn and
twisted and thrown up in the most Jagged
peaks, pyramids and crisscrossed ridges
imaginable.
Judging that the crust would sustain the
weight Of wagons. the workren swung tho
sledge hammers day after day until they
had beaten down these pinnac!es into a
smooth way six feet wide. 1t was perhaps
the mort labofious engineering work ever
done in the country, for the climate and
location, far from civilized hahitations
combined To retard the efforts of the work
men The roadway when completed led
over what may properly be called a natu-
rally formed bridge OF salt eight miles long,
the only bridge OF the kind in the world
Age of Steel.
