swindlers is shown by the experience of bright engineer who bought farm with his savings and retired to enjoy the peaceful calm of rural life, as many another trainman has done, to his end less regret. This engineer was of an in- genious turn, and be had no sooner en- tered upon the tolls of farm operating than he began to devise mechanical aids that would tighten the drudgery of his labor. His moving machine was first provided with an attachment which protracted the wear of the cutters. An improved clovis was applied to his blows. He devised an arrangement con- nected with his haystacking rig, which reduced the number of hands formerly needed to operate the apparatus. These and numerous other improvements were designed and made at neighboring smithy. One of the hangers on about the smithy was busy taking notes of the in- ventions. By the aid of note shaver of the district, one of those barpies that atflict every rural community, watching how they can turn a dishonest penny, this hanger on succeeded ill securing patents on the ex-engineer's inventions. All interest ill the patents was after ward sold for a good price to company engaged in the manufacture of agricul- tural machinery.
 That was not, however, the end of the case, so far as the inventor was concern ed. A few years afterward an agent of the concern that had bought the right to hn fan of tions came round to solicit orders for machinery. He went away without an order, but he noted some of the patent. ed devices which the engineer farmer was using and carried the information home. A few days afterward the farm CT received notice that he was infring- ing the patents controlled by the agri- cultural machine making concern, and a bill for royalty was sent in. He paid no attention and used unhallowed Ian guage to an agent who called, trying to collect the money. Time went on, and a suit was brought against the inventor who failed to take out patents. He went to lawyer, breathing defiance, and was prepared to prove that the devices used were his own invention. The law yer knew better about the difficulties of producing satisfactory proof ill a case of the kind, where the patentee is presum- ed by the law to be the inventor, and the sensible advice was given to pay the royalty.
 That was the last straw to break the engineer farmers faith in rural sim plicity or ill the infinite harmonies that pervade country life. The day after the lawyer had given him advice to settle with the rogues he was at the office of his old master mechanic, asking fer a job. He is running an engine again and says the life is more tranquil than that of farming g-Locomotive Engineering.

STEALING GENIUS.
HOW SHARKS PATENT OTHER PEO-

Unjust Royalties Often Paid to Avoid Ex-
 pensive Litigation - A Farmer MuIcted
 For Alleged Infringement Upon His Own
 Invention.
 The trick of patenting another man s invention and then prosecuting the user for infringement of the patent began early and is still going on. The first spark arrester ever used upon locomo- tive was the object of lawsuit by q shark ratentee. When the first locomo- tive was put to work on the Camden and Amboy, the genesis of the Pennsyl- vania system, rich pine wood was used for fuel, and the open smokestack vomit- ed sparks like a miniature volcano, setting the country on fire. Isaac Dripps, who was master mechanic of the road, proceeded to design a spark arrester. He applied m inverted cone at the top for defiecting the cinders, used an inside pipe for the passage Of the gases and made all outside casing that formed a recess for holding the sparks. He did uOb luluh Iu6 utNIC6 WdS NOElu phltul- ing, but it became the model on which all successful smokestacks for wood burning were made for many years and would have brought Q huge fortune to the inventor had it been patented.
 Five or six years after Dripps' smoke stack was ill use shark came along, took notes of the device and secured n patent upon it. He had stolen property worth keeping, and he made no claim until the life of the patent was nearly expired, By that time he supposed memories would be blunted as to the particulars about the first use of the smokestack. and he entered suit against the Camden and Amboy for the coIlec- tion of royalty on bis patent. The suit was tried, and the evidence of those who had hand in making the stack was too much for the would be swindler.

 George hesitated. He prized the truth and he did wish to marry Katherine. So he answered:
 'I wish to join the society for the love of Katherine Hollingswerth.
 The Friends oounseled 'delay and that Friend Robinson should be persua- sively and instructively dealt with. |" Shrewd men as they were, they allowed Katherine to deal with him, and with in year George joined the society as a true convert.
