In the days when we were young the
photographer to whom little child was
taken for a picture was forced to depend
upon the little bird which was supposed
to be just on the point of jumping out
OF his camera.

AN AMERICAN ENGINEER IN RUS
STA.

Modest William McCarroll, type of the
American engineer who does things, Went
to Sergieff, Russia, to set a consignment
of Baldwin locomotives. He found them
in parts, filling countless boxes, dumped
in the snow. At little railroad ran half
way to the main line on which the en-
gines We're to- run. The interval was a
hummoeky waste. The thermometer was
twenty degrees below zero. One by one,
from the sparse hamlets of the region, he
picked up 125 Russian peasants; hoisted
his boxes with ropes and primitive prizes
upon fat cars; ran the cars to the rail
head, and sscrutinized the steppe before
him; ridges, gullies, holes and hills-with
massive locomotive boilers to be trans
ported across them. From the scant ma
terialS at hand he made a great Sled
piled snow upon it and rolled a boiler In
the snow. Half of the hundred peasants
hauled on a long rope; the other fifty
went ahead constructing trestles over the
gullies and cuts through the iron soil
of the hillocks. Day after day in the
biting cold the human pack animals
dragged those locomotive parts until all
had reached the workshops frigid Rus
sian hillside. At Philadelphia ten engines
could be set up in a day; in Russia 1t
took ten weeks for one.
Nor was there holiday when the COM
pleted engines stood ready on the track.
Water. WISH froze on the way, had to be
carried half mile and then melted. Mild
fires had to be maintained to keep it melt
ed And when at last wood fire was
roaring in the fire box of the first locomo-
tive and the engine was proudly putting
up the new track, the rails spread two
miles from camp and the engine went
pilot foremost down the bank. Consider
the plight of single engineer, with
locomotive on its nose In a snowbank, a
few wooden levers, a rope and gang of
ignorant Slavs. But "off again" with.
McCarro1l was ION again" If it took all
the White Cars subjects to help him..
for by dint of the snow snoyeling and the
tugging of 2e0 peasants, the engine re-
| turned to the rails. Mr.. McCarroil says
the whole feat took a little scheming.s

Republican Inconsistency.

There is a campaign on in Ohio and
many things are being said. One of the
notable utefances comes from Col. Kill
bourne, Democratic candidate for govern
or, who declared that "the Democratic
principle of tariff for revenue only had
been adopted as the policy of the Repub-
hcan party, too, by the late President
Mckinley The governor further stated
that the death knell of the high pro-
tective tariff was sounded when MIR. Nc

THE GREAT CANE OF eR4n

II
Although the upper and lower houses
of the fifty-seventh congress do not oren
until December, the members of the
third house" are already gathering at
the capital. A great mistake was made
by the trainers of the constitution when
they followed the preamble with: "Au
legislative powers herein granted shall be
vested in congress of the United States
which shall consist of a senate and
house OF representatives. This section
should have read: "All legislative powers
herein granted shall be vested in third
house. which shall consist of the paid
representatives of all interests desiring
personal legislation" The theory of the
constitutional provision as to legislative
powers is faultless but it has seldom
been put into practice. The two consti-
tutional branches of congress are mere
secretaries for the purpose of recording
the decisions of the third house,
National legislation under the Repub
lican regime has become game of grab

A Little Room for Gilbert.

In his recent address in ST. Paul Ebert
Hubbard. the originator and inspiring
spirit of the Roycrofters at East Aurora,
n. Y, said that the idea that to get an
education was all that is needed to fit a
boy for the paths of life is erroneous.
In fact true education is that training
which best fits a man for earning live
hhood in the path of life that he chooses
to follow. That is the principle that is
carried out at Royeroft. The boys and
girls are educated to do the things that
will be of most use to them in life. He
said that even the children of the rich
are being sent to Industrial schools to
learn to do the very things that are
taught at Roycroft-s'to learn to over
come the disadvantages of civilization"
