How Modern Boilers Are Made.

The steel for locomotive boilers is
supplied by contract in the shape of
fiat, rectangular sheets. Before it is
accepted the tensile and breaking
strength of each one is tested. Next it
is marked off by measure with chalk
lines for rivet holes. which are punch
ed through it by Il machine that does
the work as quickly and easily as if 1t
were a slice of cheese. Then the sheet
is trimmed to the proper size by a great
steel knife, which cuts off the edges
like paper. Finally it is turned into a
curved shape by passing between huge
rollers, and is riveted to other sheets,
which make up the cylindrical tube of
the boiler by means of redhot iron bolts.
A boiler-making shop is notoriously
the noisiest place on earth. but it is sur
prising to find how soon one gets used
to the clamor, so that it would be pos
sble to lie down and sleep amid it all.
There is nothing like getting accus-
toned to things. Every now and then
a man is killed in the works by having
boiler roll upon him. He has had
such long practice in eluding dangers of
the sort that he becomes too Indifferent.

HOW SHE BECAME A WIDOW.

When I had thanked the woman for
drink of water from the spring in
front of the house, and dropped some
pennies into the palms Of the children
staring at me. asked If her husband
had gone to town.
"Jim's gone heap further than that,
1 reckon" she replied with a smile.
"Oh! Gone off to look for work, eh?'
mo, sab; Jim has bin dead over q
var now."
Excuse me, but I didn't know you
had met with an aff1iction. Die Of
fever?'
'Skassly, sab. What Jim died Of was
too much bar. He was a heap Of

than he was"
do you mean he was killed by a

Fur shore, sab. 1t was right over

out and don't even take a club along.
That was like heap of man, wasn't
it?''
ITO be sure, but man can't fight
lear with his hands alone"
mo, reckon not. Jim went out and
tackled that bar and rolled him over
and did heap o. cheerin', but when the
bar begun to roll him over things was
different. AS they fit and fit Jim yells
to me-

THE MAN WHO PLANNED.

About q quarter Of mile below rat~
tle-trap squatter's cabin which stood In
a grove on hill. came across q lone
the roadside. When we had exchanged
a "Howdy?" inquired II he was sick.
and he replied:
Stranger, it's wuss nor sickness. I'm
about to leave this vale Of tears on 1ac>
count Of the old woman"
Trouble in the family, eh?"
That's it. She wants her own way
about everything, and she's got the
peskiest way of any woman in North
Caroliny. I've stood it and stood it
till can't stand it no longer. I've cum
down yere to hang myself to one o.
them trees"
I sought to make him believe that
things couldn't be as bad as that, but
he shook his head in a solemn way and
replied:
Il said I'd do it and will. When she
sees my cold corpse she will remember
all her meanness and feel sorry. Stran-
ger will you do me a favor-the last
favor shall ever ask in this world?"
II WILL" replied.
'"Then ride on to the cabin and tell
the old woman you saw my dead body
hangin' from a limb. She'll fall over
in fit from grief, and while she's weep
in around you kin come back and let
me know. If I kin skeer her most to
death mebbe she'll be a better woman"
I said I'd do it and rode on and left
him sitting there. I found his wife
smoking her pipe in the front door, and

mo, heven't sawn him yit.'' she
calmly replied. "What sort of a lookin'
reptile is he?"
Small MANFRED hair-cast in one
eye-somewhat bald-headed."
"That must be my Joe. He left the
house an hour ago to hang himself, and
it seems he has gone and done 1t. Hang
in to a limb, eh?"
"Yes'm."

"Quite dead, madam. / was afraid
the shock might upset you, and hated
to bring the tidings."
Upset me? You don't know me,
stranger! If forty men like Bill Scott
should hang themselves 1t wouldn't up
sot me. That's what he orter hev done
long ago, but how he ever got his grit
up is wonder to me"
"Do you want any help about taking

report to the man when his impatienca
overcame him and he sneaked into
sight over the hill. The wife saw him
as soon as did, and with a look of sur
prise at me her jaw "sot," she uttered a
yell, and bounding over the brush fence
she made chase. / watched them for
half mile as they went down the road,
and when he suddenly turned into the
woods she was close enough to be
reaching for his hair.
