stories That Authors 4-ssn and Find

The inability Of an author to finish a
piece OF work that he has engaged 20

not so very uncommon thing. II Is
said thar Dickens began 1.-THE Mystery
Of Edwin brood" without any clear
conception IN his mind Of how the story
was going TO turn out and that had he
not died, leaving IL unfinished, he
would have found almost any ending
difficult to reconcile with certain hints
contained in the earlier chapters. We
remember rather curious instance of
the same sort as having happened a
good many years ago, when the elder
Bonner was editing the New York
Ledger.
A very impecunious literary man sent
to Bonner the first chapters Of a most
exciting story which gave promise Of
being Just the sort OF thing which
readers of The Ledger used TO like.
The story was accepted aud ran on I'M

about four weeks, when all of sudden
the authors invention gave out. For

the tale, and he had to so to Mr.. Bon

peared without the expected install
ment of the story, but with a brief
note to the effect that. owing to the
sudden illness of its author, its further
publication was temporarily suspend

cd person a chance TO recover his in

dinner, took him driving and in vari-
Gus ways tried to brace him up for
further work, but it was of no use.
He simply could not go on, and so the

presented with gold medallions by the
company. Martinsburg, which has con-
tributed more than its quota to The ard

pride in standing at the head o! The list OF
old and faithful engineers.
By a new order Of the company, apply

fall, wear medalIons for serving the road
over five years.
The officials were somewhat surprised
when they examined the record and found
so many names the owners OF whom were
entitled 10 recognition.
The records revealed another fact that
not many roads in the country can par
alel--that two of the engineers had been
in the service over half century, and IL
had been working for the pioneer railway
in this country for over AS years. 1t was
at once recognized that this band OF IS
deserved especial recognition.
1t was decided, therefore, to give the
two veterans gold medallons, the II sill
yer medallions, and the remaining 1870
men bronze medallonS. These Will be
oblong in shape and are meant to be at
tached to the watch chain. They will
bear the name of the wearer and the
length Of service on one side, and on the
other tn. picture of the famous engine,
the flyer 10, which hauled the late Car
rett A. Hobart to Washington in 1896 to
be inaugurated as Vce-P President.
The two gold medallions will serve as
passes over the lines of the Baltimore and
Ohio as long as the veterans owning them
live. These men are Mr.. Joseph West
and Mr.. w. Blackwell, of this city. They
have been in the service IS and 81 years,
respectively. Both are now in active SER
vice, and both are running passenger
trains. They are not, OF course, on fast
trains. Their nerves could not stand the
strain of handling day in and day out an
engine running 90 or 70 miles an hour.
A man must be in the prime of life to do
that, but still it is something of a record to
be in the passenger service when one has
watched and worked in the developing of
railroads for over a half, century. Hun
dred-ton engines, vestibuled coaches and
fifty-ton pressed steel coal cars were not
dreamed of by the enthusiast in those days,
Mr.. West entered the service Novem-
Der 10, I847. In three years he put his
hand on the throttle and for full half
century has taken cafe of one engine or
another. Mr.. West was placed in the
passenger service in 1859 and is now run
ming on the Second district. MIR. Black
well was first employed May 20, l849,and
a year later was made engineer. In 1858
he was promoted to the passenger service
and has been connected with that depart
ment ever since,

were ground in bits, rendering amputa-

Wash away the filth and waste that have

In like manner Hoods Sarsaparlla ex-

been deposited during the season when
there has been but little perspiration and
perhaps constant confinement in impure
and vtiated air. 1t is boon to tired
mothers, housekeepers, teachers and
others who spend their time indoors.
1t gives the blood richness and vitality,
fitting it to nourish and strengthen the
nerves. muscles and all the great organs
of the body. 1t gives all spring humors
and banishes that tired feeling.
