Renting Locomotives.

Hundreds Of locomotives ere rented
every year Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwins have many machines out on
the rental form Of parment-that is,
the engines are rented In the same way
that you would buy stove on Install
ments-so much down, so much a
month, the payments to apply on the
ana! purchase money. 1t is seldom,
however, that 4 railroad rents locomo-
tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from eXcava-
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as q usual thing. are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
arc oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other !ncapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains.-Philadelphia Record.

Mistaken For SHIFTS.

4 story is told Of 4 pair Of feet that
must have been objects Of great regard
in their day
One day a party of men, including
Jackson. the man Of big feet. were
preparing to attend political meeting.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no way Of conveying Jackson. as all
the vehicles were full.
Let me ride that horse over there
asked Jackson.
There isn't man in the world that
can ride that animal. He'll work to Il
cart or 4 plow. bet no one can stay on
his back"
I'll try him. anyway. And the deter
mined man instructed several men to
catch and hold the horse.
The animal plunged and kicked. but
finally Jackson secured a seat in the
saddle.
Every one expected to see him dash
ed to the ground. but the horse looked
round. saw the mans feet and walked
peacefully away He thought he was
between q pair Of shafts.-London
