NEW STEAM DERRICK.
Union Pacific Has Ordered II Stationed
at Rawiins to Replace Old One.

Tom Roberts was sent to Cheyenne
last Thursday night on No. 6 to bring
up the new steam derrick, O2900, that
r. to be stationed here. Mr.. Roberts
arrived with the derrick Monday morn
ing. and together with Wrecking Fore
man ]. s. Lackey, has been working on
the machine getting it in trim and
ready for work.
The derrick is a new n from the
Industrial Works, Michigan, and is a
powerful looking monster with a lift
ing capacity of forty tons. 1t is one Of
the latest things out in the line of
wrecking derricks and undoubtedly
will be able t. handle wreckage in a
rapid n
1t Is equipped with latest improved
injectors with high and low pressure,
| and the clutches are of a late pattern,
being remarkably strong. All the gear
wheels are steel and bronze metal and
are machine cut.
1t is calculated the derrick should
be able to lift n end Of the largest en-.
CINE on the road high enough for all pur.
poses, such as to allow putting on new
trucks without the aid of jacks.
The O2799, the old steam derrick
formerly stationed here. has been sent

THOUGHTS BY wHArELKY.

To teach one who has NO curiosity

ing 1t.
To attempt improving by increasing
knowledge, a man who does not know
how to make use Of what he already has
il like seeking. to enlarge the prospect
Of q short-sighted man by taking him
to the top Of . hill.
Laborers who are employed in driv-
ing wedges into a block Of wood, are
careful to use blows Of no greater
force than IL Just suficient- II they
strike too hard, the elasticity of the
wood will throw out the wedge.
In combating d~eep-rooted preju-
dices, and maintaining unpopular and
paradoxica truths, the point to be
aimed at should be to adduce what ID
sufficient, and not much more than ID
sufficient, to prove your conclusion.
The arst business Of q teacher

importance-should be to excite not
merely a general curiosity on the sub
1ect Of study, but . particular curios-
ity on particular points in that sub

Actress Used Ono from Finger Of y
Egyptian Mummy.
In choosing engagement rings for
their fiancees lovers at times discard
the conventional jeweled circlet in ia
vor Of the bizarre, fantastic and even
grewsome. Not long since, says Tit
Bits, out Of a portion Of a horseshoe
that he had found. a young man had
a ring made, which he gave to the lady
Of his choice on the day of their be-
trothal. The remainder Of the horse
shoe was utilized In the manufacture
Of . brooch and earrings. Another iron
ring, which a short while since was
accepted by a young girl as a token Of
her lovers constancy, was a section cut
from the barrel Of a pistol which many
years back had played an unenviable
part in a family tragedy. The scion OF
a wealthy family, whose fortunes owed
their existence to extensive tobacco
plantations, had a ring made out Of
the fragrant weed, hardened by some
process to the consistency Of metal,
with which to encircle the finger of his
inamorata. A single diamond gave re-
lief to the amulet's sombre hue. Opals
formerly considered SO ill-omened, are
now not infrequently employed in the
setting Of engagement rings. One gen
tleman, q native of Manchester, went,
indeed, to an almost extreme length In
his reprobation Of superstition, the
ring which be gave to the lady he has
now married being a hoop of thirteen
opals, the former possessor Of each
Of which had met with some serious
misfortune. The engagement ring
chosen by a we'll known actress had
once decked the finger Of an Egyptian
mummy. Disdaining the everyday
gewgaw with Its vulgar CLINT Of gems,
she set her fancy upon this strangely
discolored stone, which had nothing to
recommend 1t but its unconventional
ity and age.

This has in recent years been demon
