mile upgrade. At this place, which
 will call Smithvlle, although that isn't l its real name, the road has round 1 house.
 Late one afternoon I came into dead locomotive That is, it didn't 1 have any steam up. We left the ma | chine just at the top of the grade with the lever reversed and a log of wood in front of the big driving wheels to keep the force of gravity from starting it down the grade. In those days we didn't have all the improvements that | modern engineers have, and such a thing as air brakes was unreard of Well, during the night a hog nosing around the engine rooted the log from
 under the wheel, and the old tea kettle started down the grade. She couldn't
 go very fast on account of the reversed
 lever, but the movement was rapid
 enough to show the people living there
 about something they had never
 dreamed of before. When a dead loco-
 motive runs down grade with it's pilot
 pointed in. that direction, it's lever re-
 versed, and the cylinder cock open, the
 plSlOllS dCl dS dll PulnbS, they are stopped they will pump the
 boiler full of air. That I have learned
 since. Now, that's exactly what that
 old machine did.
 "A safety valve on a locomotive will
 pop when it gets to about a hundred
 and fifty pounds. but at about sixty
 there was enough force to counteract the force of gravity and start her back
 up the hill. When this farce was ex-. hausted, gravity got in it's work again, and down the grade went the machine, with the pistons pumping air into the boiler in grand fashion. Well, gentle men, I don't know at what time that business started, but I got up extra early the next morning and saw the en- zine running leisurely down the grade. I didn't know of it's previous trips, so called negro who was sleeping in the shed and we got hand car and started in pursuit
 You can imagine how surprised we were when we saw the machine stop and then start toward us. The negro's eyes almost buged out of his head, and when he saw it getting very close he let out wild whoop and took to the woods down the mountain side at 2:40 gait. It was left to me to get the hand car; off the track and prevent collision. By the time the locomotive made an- other trip I was at the top of the hill, and climbing aboard. With the assis- tance of several section hands who had been awakened by my calls I managed to get her under control
 Now do you know that engine was very little good after that? I am of the opinion that it must have run all night and the strain of going under the small pressure had well-nigh exhausted it's powers. have never heard of anot her occurrence of this kind since, but I suppose any of you gentlemen can read fly see how such think is possible.

Every mother should read the fol- lowing from Dr, McManaway, of Char lotte, N. C.
 Messrs Eisner & Mendelson Co.
 I am prompted to hand you herewith photograph of baby whose physical condition is due to the use of Johann Hoff's Extract given to the mother dur ing lactation.
 During the nursing of her first born, the mother was so completely pros trated, because of the drain on her sys- tenn, that it was with difficulty that either mother or child was saved. Dur ing this last lactation, the mothers con dition remained good. The photograph shows condition of child at the age of four months and five days.
 C. G. McManaway, M. D. What constant drain upon her strength the nursing mother sustains Il How vitally important is robust health important to mother and important to child. A Is there any time in woman's life, when perfect digestion is so absolutely essential?
 The peculiar fitness of Johann Hoff's Extract for sustaining nursing mothers strength is well kgyWn. |

CON THE SLY"
Patients Drink Contrary to Doctors
 Orders.

Bad food habits hurt the habitue and sometimes affect others. A mother was in such a miserab ble condition from cof- fee drinking that when her baby was born-but let her tell her own tale.
 II steadily grew worse. When baby was born 1t was a skeleton of mere little life soon fickered out. I had been suffering for several years with stomach trouble and nervous diseases, the doc tor said brought on by coffee.'
 At times I would swell up until could hardly breath but I poohed when the doctor told me coffee was the cause of it all Why, l had used coffee for years without seeing that it did me any harm. so the silly idea of fogy doctor was not going to make me give up my favorite beverage and I kept on using it on the sly unknown to him, while he gave me every sort of tonic and pills to attempt to cure me and get my nerves in a healthy condition
 After baby's death I was sick in bed and the doctor insisted on keeping cof- fee away from me. He put me on Postum Food Coffee and Grape Nuts I shall never forget how I relished the first cup of fragrant, black Postum and how good the Grape Nuts with cream tasted. and. as if by magic, I began to sleep all night for the first time in months. .......
 Slowly I began to gain in strength and flesh, and my mind began to clear up. My stomach gave me no pain, and the doctor was greatly surprised at the change caused by the food and drink and pleasantly named them the magic nerve restorers,' for he says they built up my nerves and strength as nothing else on earth could.
 It seems to me l am twice as large as l used to be, but it is good, healthy tissue I have been made a well woman by Postum Food Coffee and Grape Nuts Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich.

 Then the people who took your ad- vice lost on 1t ''
 They were in the same position as l was, only to a less degree" Asked if during the time he was predicting the rise of corn stocks the Investor, (Mr. Bennetts paperl, was not merely strlV- ing to tell the public not to have too much confidence in his predictions, MT. Lawson replied; The Investor attack ed everything I had anything to do with. They attacked Butte, too, which went from a very low figure to over 100"
 Regarding Amalgamated, MT. Lawson said he had believed in it and still did so while it had not gone up in sixty days as he anticipated when he advised buying last summer, he said it would certainly go up in anther 60 or 120 days, or some time.
 William Whitman, president of the Arlington & Whitman mills, the next witness, said he had known Mr. Ben nett for seven or eight years as a mem Der of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, of which witness was president and treasurer
 MT. Bennett applied for the position of secretary of the association at $5,000 year, but witness objected, saying the position should be held by manufac- turer, not a newspaper man.
 MT Bennett asked what good is the DSSnpiDtiDO mo of tn which vtitnpcs replied that MT. Bennett had come in- to the association voluntarily and could leave it if he was not satisfied
 MT Donohue was recalled to the stand and denied that in 1899 he had offered any money to defeat Bennett for the speakership.
 MT. Lawson was also recalled and asked regarding his use of the word we in his testimony, and said there were various constructions to be placed on the word as he used it before the committee on manufactures. Some- times we" meant MT, Lawson and MT. Whitney in combination; sometimes MT. Lawson alone and sometimes MT. Whit ney alone.
 MT. Lawson was then excused for good and MT. Whitman again took the stand.
 MT Bartlett read an editorial from the Cotton and Wool Reporter of April 9, 1897. in which MT Whitman was &C., cused of striving to have his phraseolo- gy used in a tariff bill through his MT. North"
 That monster disturber of industrial the Arlington mills" was one of the references to MT. Whitmans 
 MT. Whitman said that Mir. Clark, Mr. Bennetts advertising agent, ob- tained page "ad'' from him in the Wool and Cotton Reporter for July 15, 1897. Some time later he was asked for another similar lad" but witness told him he would never put another advertisement in the paper and it could | say what it pleased of him.
