Concerning Motors

In almost every instance railway
cars are provided with two motors.
This arrangement is adopted not be-
cause one motor can not furnish all
the power required. but simply for
the purpose of making the equipment
more reliable. Everything of human
make is liable to fail; hence if only
one motor were used there would be
more or less liability of its giving out
at critical moment, and then the car
would be helpless. If two motors are
provided, should one give out the ar
would not be disa bled, forthe remain
ing machine would be able to run it to
its destination. In order that this re-
suit may be successfully accomplish
ed each motor is made of sufficient
capacity to run the car without being
overtaXed, unless the load is abnor-
malIy large; but even under the latter
conditions the machine will in nintey
nine cases out of a hundred with
stand the strain. Some roads, in small
towns. where the traffic is light and
the expense must be kept down to the
lowest point, use single-motor cars
so as to affect saving in first cost.
This course, however, is very seldom
followed, except in places where
there are no heavy grades or where
there is very little probability of the
loads becoming excessive, except at
rare intervals. If the cars are provid-
ed with single motor, when one be-
comes disab from any cause it has
TO wait until overtaken by the car be-
hind so that itmay be pushed by the
latter to the end of the road.-Popular

Wouldn't he IaIimidated.

Senator-elect joe Blackburn is
famed far and wide for his apparent
ly inexhaustible fund of anecdotes.
1.-The senator has an unconscious
streak of humor and some good
stories are told of him which he
never recited,' said a prominent blue
grass politician the other day. Il
remember when Mr.. Blackburn was
practicing law in Kentucky, which
may show that he fears nothing. A
young fellow came into his office,
and, after showing some recommen-
dations and expressing a longing de-
sire to get work of some kind, was
given opportunity to do some
thing. Mr.. Blackburn handed him a
writ and told him to go to a certain
house and serve the paper on the
tenant. Now, don't come back and
say you couldn't find him. he eau
toned. Nail it to the door if you
have to, but serve it, The eager
young man started out and returned
an hour later minus his hat and col
lar and with his face covered with
shreds.
"'Well,' said Mr.. Blackburn, did
you serve it?'
"'No, SIR replied the battered en-
ploye. The tenant licked me and
told me to bring the paper back to
YOU
blackburn rose from his chair,
and, towering up with indignation,
said: Here, sub, take that writ back
and serve it on that tenant, sub, and
tell him for me, sub, that by -,
sub, he can't intimidate me through
you, suh.'

This woman Has Mania for Try.
in. on New Hats.

This Woman Has n Mania Tor Trys
in. on New Hats.
Il was trying to convince myself in
Fifth avenue millinery shop one day
last week that a SIC hat was just as
becoming as $40 hat said a woman
but the salesgirl who was attending
me, said:
.-Oh, dear, here's the fiend, and
am glad that L am busy SO that she
won't bother me-.
What do you mean by the fiend?
L asked.
Here she is now,' said the girl.
Il turned around and saw a woman
whose face has been familiar to me
for several years, and when L learned
her characteristics L recalled the fact
that L had usually seen her in millin-
cry stores. She Was a woman of good
figure, stylishly oSessed with we'll
cut Persian lamb coat. Her hair was
auburn, and L should guess that she
might be anywhere from 35 years to
As years of age.
- want to see some of your new
hats she said to a shopgirl who was
disengaged, and when she was out OF
earshot my girl said to me:
THAT woman is known in every
frst-class millinery shopin New York,
and she is public nuisance. She has
a mania for trying on new hats and
admiring herself in the glass. 1 frs;
noticed her three years ago in Mad
anne Blanks shop before L came here:
About once in five weeks she would
come to see our new hats. She always
tried on eight or ten and studied her
appearance in the glass with each
hat. This meant a waste of at least
an hour of the shopgirIS time The
woman never bought a hat. After
she had repeated the operation few
times Madame Blank suspected that
she was employed by a rival to steal
our styles and she made some inqulr-
. les about her. She found that the
woman was not employed by any rival
and that she spent most of her time
trying on hats BECAUSE she was aff1ict-
ed with a mania for it, When I came
down to this shop 1 found that she
was we'll known here, and that she
was known as the ..Fiend." If you
will watch her a few minutes you will
see for yourself what she does. OF
course, the shopgirl can't be rude to
her, but she knows well enough that
she isn't going to make a sale"
'I watched the authenticated wom-
an for few minutes. She selected
an expensive hat, examined it careful
", and then putting it on. she ad-
mired herself before the glass She
smirked and twisted her head so that
she might get different views Then
she selected another hat and went
through the same program. When
she selected the third I left. There
are probably lots of women who occa-
sionally like to put on a pretty hat in
a millinery store. just to see how they
look but I never saw a woman who
made a business of it. as this woman
did The shopgirl told me that every
millinery shop in town dreaded her
visits and / don't doubt it,
