THE WHEELS OF TRAFFIC.

Two thousand tons of American
steel rails are being sent to Italy for
use on the railways.
Out of nearly 10000 pressed steel
cars there has never been one which
has been wrecked beyond repair.
The English staff system of dis
patching trains has been put in force
upon the single bridge now being
used by all the lines entering Calves
ton, Tex, in order to expedite the
traffic.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way, in order to enter Peoria, H.,
from Sterling. purchased the village
OF Pottstown entire, and will move
every house in order to occupy the
site of the town with yard tracks.
Thirty new freight engines are to
De put on the tracks of the Chicago.
burlington & Quincy railroad next
March. The engines will differ from
the average freight train puller in
having wider and shorter ireboxes.
The weight of each engine on its driy-
ers will be 10000 pounds.
Paul Storitzky, of the Moscow To-
connective works, who is making an in
spection of locomotive works in this
country, says: There are six or
eight locomotive factories In Russia
one of the largest being located at
kolomna, not far from Moscow. am
satisfied, however, that for all general
purposes the machines made in this
country are superior for the Russian
service"

HIS MIND WAS RELIEVED.
ooh, My! oh, My! Wasn't Scared
Was Just Hit" Snid the
GIau soldier.

A surgeon relates that before Santi-
ago, he (the surgeon), going to the
front, came upon a young officer, sit
ting beside the road, trembling like a
leaf, and winter than the dead men
around him. At sight Of the surgeon
he began 10 talk, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut.
I'm coward I'm coward, I'm a
coward" he said; II knew I'd run, and
| did. I'm disgraced forever. l was
going along all right not thinking of
anything but getting at the dashed
Spaniards, yelling to my men to come
on, and running ahead as fast as
could, when all of sudden l stubbed
my toe. or something, and then l can't
remember being scared but ! must
have been, for | came galloping back
here, sick as a dog. I'm coward, and
l wish | were dead! Why don't some
body shoot me? I've got such an awful
