Say, Aguinaldo,
You little measly
Malay moke,
What's the matter with you?
Don't you know enough
To know
That when you don't see
Freedom,
Inalienable rights,
The American Eagle,
The Fourth of July,
The Star-Spangled Banner,
And the Palladium of your Liberties,
All you've got to do is to ask for them?
Are you a natural born chump
Or did you catch il from the Spaniards?
You amt bigger
Than a piece Of soap
After a days washing,
But, by gravy, you
Seem to think
You're a bigger man
Than Uncle Sam.
You ought to be shrunk
Young fellow; as.A
And If you don't
Demalayize yourself
At an early date,
And catch 81
To your goldSS glorious opportunities,
Something's going to happen to you
Like a Himalaya
Sitting down kersWot
On a gnat.
If you amt
A yellow dog
You'll take in your sign
And scatter
Some Red, White and Blue
Disinfectant
Over yourself
What you need, Aggie,
Is civilizing.
And goldarn
Your yaller percoon skin,
Wen civilize you
Dead or alive.
You'd better
Fall into the
Procession of Progress
And go marching on to glory,
Before you fall
Into hole in the ground.
Understand?
That's us

1852, for the following copy, from the

A secret report has been filed away in
the Navy Department relating to the
transportation of torpedo boats by rail
in the United States.
Russia in 1877 built hundred harbor
torpedo boats, adapted specially for
railway transportation. The United
States Government, however, has done
nothing in that direction beyond the
making of plans. The ability to place
a torpedo fiotilla on the great lakes in
fourteen hours, or on the Pacific within
few days, means that the term
blockading is obsolete, or, at all events.

States must have a navy of enormous

AUTOMATIC TRAIN CHECKER.
Test of Novel Invention to Pre-
vent Railroad Accidents.

A novel automatic train checker, in
vented by a Belgian, has just under
gone a successful test in France. The
trial and the invention are described
by Henry P. Morris, United States
Consul at Client, Belgium, in an official
report to the Department OF State.
Some little time ago." he says, "the
French State Railway gave a public
trial of a new invention designed to
effect automatically the stoppage of
trains with a view to preventing col
lisions, grade crossing accidents, etc.
The experiments took place under the
direction of the inventor at Beaulieu lie
Cendray, near Chatres, before many
railway engineers and numerous
gathering of scientists. Those pres
ent were convinced that the apparatus
fully satisfied all claimed for it.
The point chosen for the official ex-
pertinent offers the greatest possible
danger and difficulties. 1t was on the
single track line between Chatres and
Orleans, at the point of divergence of
the branch running to Anneau and i'm
mediately over a grade crossing.
'There. at distance Of 80 yards
from the station, the mechanism was
placed in position. The invention cen
sists of an immense hood, or catch,
made of heat iron, to which while rigid
a certain elasticity is given. 1t is fas-
tened to the rails and regulated by
wire and lever from the station. When
lying fiat trains pass it readily, out
when raised it catches lever hanging
from the passing locomotive. The lat
ter lever then automatically causes an
air valve on the engine to open, and
the brakes are Immediately in action.
During the trial the train came to
standstill before reaching the station
Careful calculation has been made
that the hook or catch on the roadoed
should have at the same time sum
Gent suppleness to insure its action
Another ingenious arrangement con-
meets the grade crossing gate with the
apparatus in such a manner that the
former cannot be opened without the
latter being in position, SO that an ap-
preaching train must necessarily stop
before reaching the crossing, thus
avoiding all risk of injuring persons
passing at the time. Further appliances
are said to render the invention equally
useful in the prevention of collisions.

Mr.. Plant first visited Florida In
1854 because of the illness of his Wife.
He is to-day the head of the Plant
system which has 1000 miles of rail-
road and over 1900 employees. Their
hotels are the finest in the world and
their steamers the most elegant. In
1879 he was first made railroad man
ager. In 1882 the Plant Investment
Company was formed. Since Mr.. Pant
first went to Florida there has been
constant improvement. He was mar
ried in 1912 to Ellen Elizabeth Black

She died in 1861, and in 1873 he was
