MAKING READY FOR A RUN
Locomotive Is Almost as Carefully
GroOmed as a Race Horse.

Grooned a Race Horse.
Running the Fast Express" is the
title of an articleeby George Ethelbert
Walsh in St Nicholas Mr. Walsh says:
The engineer comes down TO his post
of duty nearly an hour before his train
is scheduled to leave. All night long in
the rouudhouse the engine has been
carefully watched; wiper has spent
the whole night rubbing down the pant
ing snorting iron horse until every rod
and cylinder shines like gold or silver;
the banked fire has been kept going so
that little steam has been always IN
the boxes, and before he left at night
the fireman put everything in perfect
order inside the cab The fireman APP
pears first III the morning and nspects
the work of the roundhouse men, and
if any part is not satisfactory he makes
it so. The engineer makes his inspection
after the fireman and thoroughly and
carefully examines every part. All the
bearings are then oiled, and the oil cups
are filled with oil Next the engine is
run out of the roundhOuse and tested.
Fifteen minutes before the time to start
the engine is coupled to the train, and
the steam and alrbrakes are tested.
No race horse was ever brought to his
post better fitted for running the course
than is the locomotive OF the fast ex-
press In addition to the tests already
made, mechanic goes from wheel to
wheel and upon every one strikes a
sharp, resounding blow to ascertain if
the wheel and axle are sound. Nuts and
bolts are examined The engineer and
fireman are held responsible for the per-
feet condition of the engine and cars be-
fore the start is made.

WHALE HUNTING.
Flrst American Whalcr Was Accused OF
sOrcery Valuable Catches.

sorcSry Valuable Catches
The whale fisheries pursued for many
years with great profit TO the whalers Of
Massachusetts and Long Island are now
but shadow Of their former proportions.
Forty Years ago nearly 600 whaling yes
sells sa led from New Bedford, Mass.
and returned with oil and whalcbone
worth nearly $1,000, 0C0. Whale oil
then sold for So. rs a gallon and whale
bone was worth Sc a pound Now shat
the whaling grounds have been denuded
OF their riches, the docks OF New Bed
ford are almost deserted of whalers, for
few fishermen are hardy enough to ven,
ture into antarctic waters, where the
remnants of formerly vast schools of
whales fled for security
The whaling industry is one Of the
Oldest i'll America. it was established
in l755. 1t reached its most profitable
period IS years later Since 1860 it has
been decreasing III Importance and profit
Today it adds very little to the wealth
Of New Bedford
A writer in The Fishing Gazette says
Zone William Hamilton was the first
person who killed whales on the New
England coast. He was born in Scotland
i'll 1913 and, coming to this country in
the early part of his life, took up his
residence at Cape Cod, where he was
prosecuted by the inhabitants for killing
whales as one who dealt with evil spir-
its Whaling was afterward carried on
by a Mr. Paddock who went to Nan
tucket about the middle of 1850 for the
purpose OF instructing the English in
the art of whaling in boats from the
shore, which business continued good
and profitable till the year 1850, when
1t diminished in consequence of the
scarcity of whales In Ills whales We're
pursued on the ocean i'll small sloops
and schooners Of from 30 to so tons
The blubber was brought home and
years later vessels Of larger burden were
employed and the oil boiled out IN try
works at sea.
The most valuable catch ever made
by whaleship was that OF the Onward.
Captain Allen. which arrived in New
Bedford after a Al months cruise with
cargo worth over $275, 900, of which
the captain share was $33, 600 The
total value Of the whole product Of the
whales brought into New Bedford dur
ing the So years for which a record has
been kept Is more than $l45, 900, 600
1.-The average ship, carrying a crew
Of 30 hands, used to cost about $35, 900
The ships We're owned by companies,
which supplied provisions and clothing
and all the necessarles of the voyage
and advanced certain sums of money for
the captain and his crew to leave for
the support OF their families while they
were away No wages were paid to
either the officers or the sailors, but
each had his share in the proceeds of
the voyage and the balance was divided
among the stockholders when they re-
turned. The captains and mates were
hardy New Englanders. but the crews
were mostly Portuguese from the Cana
ry Madeira and Azore islands.

Hand In Hand From the Cradle.

At Fort Scott recently Mr.. and Mrs
D. G. Bondsteel celebrated with few
friends the fiftieth anniversary of their
birth. They were born on adjoining
farms in Clark county, Mo-, on Oct. 10,
1847, the advent of the girl being about
an hour earlier than the advent of the
boy. AS they went hand in hand to
school a few years later they called
themselves sweethearts When 16 sum-
mers had passed over their heads, their
baby affection had ripened into love,
and three years later they were married
