IHs ElRsT LOCOMOTIVE.
u Was Buiit by oliver Evans. who Couiun,
law I'm Money


Lay Up Money.
The real inventor of the locomotive
never realized a cent from his invention.
His name was Oliver Evans. He was
born in Delaware in 1856 and spent all
his life perfetting inventions which
were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
ventor Of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
Of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea
His application of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel
In 1904 the municipality Of Philadel-
phia called for bids for the dredging of
the river and the cleaning of the docks.
Evans put in bid lower than any of
his competitors, and when it was ac-
cepted determined to build steamboat
to do the work.
He fitted out a scow with steam en-
gino, building both the engine and the
scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready obo launch
ed, Evans determined to give the peo-
pie of Philadelphia AN object lesson in
mechanics, so he put the boat ON wheels,
/ fitted up a push wheel behind, set his
engine to work and propelled the boat
| through the streets to the river in the
midst Of an open mouthed throng, not a
| few of whom had dim idea that ht
4 ought to be arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank Of
the river, the wheels and axles were TAX
en- of, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to de
the work of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention of mechanical
devices went, Evans had splendi'
genius, but when dollars and cents cam
up for consideration he was mer
child, and even allowed himself to b
cheated out of the money that was du
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har
Dor with his new tangled steamboat. =

BORROWING TROUBLE.
How Some Persons Make Pastoral Work a

Burden to Their Pastors.
Several well known clergymen of this

in West Philadelphia was visited at his
residence by an indignant woman, who
declared that she had come for legal adj
vice, and I'm Il businesslike manner de-
posted ON his table So note as u re-
tanning fee. After pocketing the money
the man of law politely requested her
to proceed with her statement She said
she was continually afflicted with a Sc
ries of nuisances which she desired the
lawyer to have abolished.
She was annoyed by neighbor on
one side, she said, who is a music teach
er and trainer of the voice, The con-
slant humping on the piano and the
discordant notes of the vocal students
made her very nervous On the other
side the neighbor kept chickens, which
awoke her early in the morning by their
growing and annoyed her during the
day by flying over the fence and invad-
ing her premises. Day and night she
was made nervous by the noise of the
trolley cars passing her door, organ
grinders and peddlers made her life mis-
cradle, hucksters added to her misery
by calling their wares, and she wanted
to know what action she must take in
order to be made free of such nuisances.

ORGANIZATION against the empire

helpless cripple, being mortgaged
materially as well as politically.
The Black Flags and others refuse
to recognize the authority OF the
government. Even in the face o.

There is but small amount of wood
in a broom, but SO many millions Of
these implements are used every year
that the consumption of wood for broom
handles is a considerable item. While it
would have been almost impossible to
sell broom handle made Of heavy hard
wood few years ago, at present the re-
verse is true.
The manufacturer prefers hard wood
because it does not require SO large a
bolt, can be turned down smaller and
yet retain sufficient strength and can be
ornamented more cheaply and artistical-
ly. Broom swith hard wood handles sell
more readily and do not deteriorate in
appearance like the soft wood handles.
Any kind of inexpensive hard wood,
such as beech, birch, maple or ash,
makes acceptable handles, while springy
woods like elms are not salable, be-
cause one essential of good broom is q
straight handle
The manufacture of broom handles
can only be made profitable when the
timber runs largely clear. In the eastern
states the timber waste in making broom
handles exceeds 90 per cent, while in
the southwest it is usually less than 20
per cent There are four factories in
Amsterdam, N. Y, one of which has a
capacity of l,200 finished brooms day.
They use hard wood handles from the
south and west and get them for less
than the bolts ready for the lathe can be
furnished from native hardwood.
The handles are turned green and
dried afterward The large end OIL which
the brush is wired must be thoroughly
dry, or the broom will work loose. The
drying of the upper part Of the handle ii
