apart. He carefully numbered each
part. and then carefully laid that part
on the grass. After awhile he had all
that engine except the boiler. the
smokestack and the cab scattered over
half an acre Of greensward. He cleaned
the parts thoroughly, and then, with
his confidence mistaken, he began the
work Of reconstruction.
1t looked easy enough to put It all
back In place. In the first place, he
knew where every part belonged; and
In the second place his numbering Of
the parts had made it impossible for
anybody who could count to make a
mistake.
but somehow the numbers must
have become twisted, or some one must
have changed them; for No. 0 did not
fit into No. 10, and NO. ID did not tit
into no. II. Screws did not fit the
holes they had been taken from. and
bolts would either reach too far or not
far enough.
"Finally piece No. 13 was made to tit
piece No. II; and then the contrary
screws We're filed down. and the con-
trary bolts were chiseled oil. and the en-
CINE began to look like its old self
again.
but when the rheumatic old beast Of
steel had been put into this shape. and
looked all ready for steam. there were
still enough pieces left out there on the
greensward to construct another loco
motive OF the same type. Where they
all came from the engineer had not the
slightest idea. He was sure he had
never seen them, and he was willing
to swear that he had not handled them
nor numbered them. He could find no
place to put them. and decided that
they were useless mpedimenta In this
case. although they might come In
handy some other time. So he had
them taken into the tool house.
Then the engineer began to get up
steam. He had not touched the tirebox.
SO he had no difficulty In starting u
straight, so h" could blow that all right.
lie gave the whistle a couple Of toots,
and opened the throttle.
"Then something happened. The en-
gineer went out one side Of the cab
and the negro fireman went out the
other side. Everything within fifty
yards Of the engine moved--everything
but the engine. That stood stock still,
while from every joint. every lever.
every crack. every cylinder and almost
every screw hole there came torrents
Of steam.

man ran across each other far from the
scene of the reconstruction Of the en-
CINE. The engineer argued vainly that
1t was the tireman's fault, and that he
ought to go back to the engine and close
the throttle The fireman said he would
rather lie down on the track and let
the engine run over him: 1t would he an
easier death. and there would be few
pieces Of him left. The result was that
the engine was left to do Its own sweet
will. 1t finally got rid Of all the steam
that was in 1t. and Quicted down.

The Western member went home ut
a very early hour In the morning. He
had made night OF 1t with some
friends. He knew that his conduct
would be considered reprehenslble by
his better half, and SO. as he assembled
the steps Of his modest home. he
racked his brain for some plan to avert
the lady's wrath. As he entered the
hall he saw an umbrella. Instantly Il
occurred to him that the umbrella
might be his salvation.
He carried the umbrella upstairs.
Seating himself on chair In the corner
of the bedroom. he raised the rain

coughed loudly. His wife awoke and
saw In the dim gaslight her liege lord

SCHOLAR AND STATESMAN.
Senator Hoar, Antics pansiOnist Lead
er. Has Been 80 Years in Congress.


No name has Of late been more fire.
uucntly seen in the newspapers than
that Of Senator George +. HOar. OF
Massachusetts. There are many I'M
kindly references to this venerable
statesman because OF the position he
has taken. He has for years been
leader Of the Republican party. and
though man Of fearless expression,
has generally been In accord with his
party, but from the beginning he OPP
posed the administrations Philippine
policy.
Senator Hoar Is one Of the oldest
members Of the Senate. He has spent
the last thirty years Of his life In Con-
gress and has always eXerted COM
manding influence. He Is regarded as
the ablest lawyer and the most pro-
found scholar in the upper house. Sen
ator Iloar Is 73 years Of age. He was
born at historic Concord. Mass. and
graduated from Harvard College at the
age Of 20. After being admitted to the
bar he began the practice Of law at
Worcester. and soon ranked as leader
in his profession. Naturally he took
an interest in politics and the Republl-
cans made him city solicitor. Next they
sent him to the Legislature. In 1868
he was elected to Congress and served
four terms, during which he made
reputation for craftsmanship which
gave him a place on the Hayes Elec'
toral Commission. In 1877 he succeed
ed George $. Boutwell, in the Senate,
and has since been fixture there. He
is chairman Of the judiciary Commit
tee.
Senator Hoar's personality is inter-
esting. He Is one OF the most kind and
generous Of men. His lack Of familiar
ity with even old acQuaintances, often
attributed to GOODNESS and austerlty, Is
owing to a natural shyness which has
chung to him through life. The extent
Of his willingness to oblige friends Is
unlimited. He has absolutely no re-

But the old brown chair sings u song to

AS it whispers of other years.
And 1t tells Of the roughened places

And murmurs of childish tears.
Yes, the old chair tells in an undertone,
In voice 50 creaking and old,
OF the comfort it gave through summers

AS well as in winters cold;
How those little dependent lives were
sOOthed
Through their childish sorrows deep,
As it did its best to ease each pain.
While rocking the boys to sleep.
