At Chalfont, st. Giles, England
stands a remarkable monument, erect.
ed by Sir Hugh Palliser to his
friend, Captain Cook, the celebrated
navigator. One of the most singular
visits to this monument occurred
in 1866 when Queen Emma of the
Sndwich Islands went in company
with Bishop Wilberforce. People in
the district still recall, with amuse.

greet her majesty with an appropriate
tune and not knowing the Sandwich
Islands national anthem, tootled forth

plains and mountainous highlands. To
him such experiences have become as
commonplace as to the engineers them
selves. In fact, he is as much at home
in the cab of locomotive as the man
at the throttle or the man who shovels
coal in the fireboX. Fear has never
entered his mind while riding at the
greatest speed in the cab of an engine.
On some of his trips to and across the
Rocky mountains he has fallen asleep
alongside the boiler on the fireman s
side of the cab. He would. slumber
soundly while the iron steed whirled
and down steep grades and through
deep-waiied cuts and rolled over level
plains along those western overland
routes. To him nothing is more inter-
esting and absorbing.
Master Richards has not reached his
fifth year, nor is he even able to read.
He is too young to be sent to kinder
garten, his father preferring not to
push him into the schoolroom before
he is at least seven years old. His first
love was a locomotive, and he studied
it in his own peculiar way, without for
getting the smallest fact or part. He
also took a keen interest in the late
American-Spanish war, and has on his
tongues end the name of every battle
ship, cruiser, torpedo boat and other
crafts of Importance that took part
in that conflict on both sides Further,
he knows every state, territory and is
land, lake and river of the United
States, and can bound many of the
states without the aid of a map. 1t is
one of his pleasures and pastimes to
take imaginary trips around the world,
and in these he rattles off the seas,
straits and other bodies of water passed
through, as well as the names of the
countries skirted, for he is equally con-
versant with the countries of the world
and their inhabitants. He knows more
about the causes that led up to the
AmericanSpanish war and the results
than many of matured years. In fact,
he is full of the Filipino war, Cuban an
nexation and Porto Rican liberty. and
can bound these new possessions of
Uncle Sam with readiness.
Master Richards, says the Chicago
, Tribune. was born in Chicago on July
IS, 1895. His father moved to Lincoln,
Neb. Mrs. Richards died year ago
and Master Richards has since been
with his grandfather, Henry A. Rich

efficiency of this mode of punishment

BOY WITH A HOBBY.
Master Hume Gibson Richards Is a
Mechanical Prodigy.
Although But Four Years of Age He
Can Run n Locomotive and En-
joys a Night Ride Over the
Western Mountains.

Master Hume Gibson Richards is the
youngest locomotive driver in the
world. Indeed, he is not only mechan-
zeal prodigy, but is as remarkable for
his knowledge in other lines. Before
he was three years old he astonished
the railroad men of the west by his
great knowledge of mechanics. He
knew every part of the intricate loco
motive. could name those parts by their
technical terms, and describe their
functions with exact precision and
readiness. Repeated tests have been
made of his singular knowledge of me-
chanics by experts, and the results
have astounded the wise ones. On one
occasion Master Richards was taken to
the locomotive works of one of the
Chicago railroads and he named the
various parts of locomotive before
they were put together. Those who
witnessed the test were forced to the
belief that the youngster could build
locomotive by direction. He has been
to the scene of wrecks several times
and the points of interest to him were
the smashed engines and cars. He
would look over the demolished loco
motives just as an ''old-timer" would
do, and within the same length of time
give with technical skill detailed ac-
count of the damage sustained by the
engine. There are thousands of railroad
cars operated in this country and Can
ada by the various railroads. Master
Richards has never failed yet in desig-
mating the roads to which these cars
belong. He knows by the initials
painted thereon.
Many is the time he has sat in the
cabs of locomotives that pull the fast
mails and expresses over the western

generally flock around the prisoner
as soon as he is placed therein.
If the pillory were the only punish
ment inflicted upon the violators of
the law at each session of the courts,
little if any objection would be Of
fered, as this part of the infliction is
nothing compared to the whipping
which Immediately follows. The
prisoner in this case is stripped of
his shirt and coat, and, with his back
:eXposed, his hands in iron cuffs, fas-
tened with spikes, he leans forward
hugging the post, as it were, while
the sheriff applies the lash. The mark
of the rawhide is plainly left on the
culprit's back, who endeavors to bear
up under it, but coming as it does in
rapid succession and almost in the
same spot, invariably he squirms and
twists, as if to stay off the effects of
it. When the last lash has been
laid on by the sheriff the victim at
the post gives sigh of relief, as if
a load had been lifted from his heart
and mind. For cases of minor lar
ceny the sentence of the court is not
over 10 or Is; occasionally, however,
when an old offender is arraigned be-
fore the court, he gets 20 or some
times 80. The highest number ever
given in Delaware was 60 lashes, but
they were laid on lightly by the
sheriff then in office. The order of
the court used to be that a man
should be whipped according to the
gravity of his crime, to be either
swell laid on" or laid on light" This,
however, is not observed here any
more, but the sheriff uses his discre-
ton in the applying of the lash. ac-
cording to the enormity of the crime.
