Movement On Foot to Take Care OF All
Aged, InvAlid and Crippled Train
OPERATOR.
There are strong probabilities that
within the next two or three yenrs q
home for aged, invalid and crippled
railway trainmen of all clnsses will be
established ut some point In the CEN
tral west. At the recent convention Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men at Des Moines. Iowa, PROPOSE
tion to build such a home was submit
ted, and the members of the convention
showed their favor to It by appropri-
ating $1,000 as "starter" toward car
rying 1t out. All other railroad organ
nations in the land. It is said. will be
asked to lend their support and assist
ance In realizing the scheme.
Although the plans thus far settled
upon are solely preliminary In their
character, the general Idea for the es-
tnblishment of the home Is quite clear
ly defined. 1t Is said to be the purpose
Of those who are the prime spirits in
the movement to advocate the selection
of Columbus, Ohio, or Chicago as a
place wherein to locate the home. 1t
is likely that the home will be mod
eled in a degree after such an institu-
tion as that maintained by the Masons
at Springfield, Ohio, or MS that kept up
for old and inflrm soldiers at Lafay-
ette, Indiana. The Soldiers Home at
Lafayette is practically little town in
itself, there being streets lined with
cottages, an amusement hall, water
works and m electric light plant, be-
sides general barracks and officers
quarters.
1t Is probable that the various organ
izations of railway trainmen will he
asked to make contributions to the
general building fund rs quickly us
possible. There have been several sug-
gestions as to how the fund should be
raised, but 1t Is likely that orgnniza-
tions will lend their financial assist
ance in any manner that they individ-
unlly may see fit. About $4,000 will
be needed before the work Of carrying

BIRD MUSIC.
woadsrful Eject on Indians at &
Concert.

Concert.
In his "Recollections of an Old Mu-
sician." Mr.. Thomas Ryan tells of the
effect produced by q violinist on a
family party Of Indians who occupied
the front seats at concert in Topeka.
Kan. II was told there was father
with six sons In the party. all very
large. broad-shouldered men. They
died quietly into their seats. preceded
by q local guide. in whose hands they
seemed like good, docile children. One
can never know what they thought Of
u, but one can do something in the
way of inference. They sat quite i'm
movable in their seats. with their OK
like eyes nxed on our party while we
played serious music. No shadow Of
emotion could be seen on their coun-
.enances. The fifth number Of the
program was violin solo by Mr..
schultxe, and for an encore he gave
little caprice. entitled THE Bird In
the Tree" The moment Mr.. Schultze
began this piece the Indians were all
alive. their eyes sparkled with pleas
ure, and they nudged each other with
their elbows; and when the little bird
melody and limitations of bird-slnging
began they looked all around the cell
Ing and the walls. doubtless expecting
to see singing birds fitting about. Not
seeing any. they looked at the violin
list and began to understand that he
was the magician. The surprise ana
almost incredulity depicted on the
faces of these children OF nature was
rare show in itself. At Its conclu-
sion they jumped up and down. Just
as little children do when something
unusual pleases them."-Youth's Com
