Here is a story told on former President
Rutherford B. Hayes and newspaper
nan who twenty years g was well
1nowni in New York:
Shortly after his term had expired Pres

L reception given in his honor.
The newspaper man referred to was sent
up to the hotel where the ex-prestdent

IFS surprise, the ,ex-president received him
n his sitting room and told hin
in an affable way that he was ready to
answer any questions put to him. The IN
.erview covered many topics; the reporter
asked various questions, but the Tilden-
Hayes controversy was not touched upon.
Finally, the interview was concluded and
Mr.. Hayes was congratulating himself
that he had come OUT Of the ordeal so
successfully. for the reporter had not
asked one impertinent question.
As the reporter got up from his seat to
cave the ex-president arose from his and
walked with him to the door, where in his
noe. suave tones he babe the scribe adieu.
A few minutes later Mr.. Hayes was sur
prised to see an attendant OF the hotel

onsTate the efficacy OF the invention.
The new brake seeks to overcome the

totore has been a detrimental factor in
the operation OF automatic brakes.
The new brake is the invention of C..
A. Tripp, the local representative of

Inc experiments have been conducted

sired 90 demonstrate the success of the
invention before the working parts are
made public. In the past considerable
dlInculty has been experienced from the
slack which appears I'm the brake pis-
ton and interferes with the successful
operation of the brakes. AS result of
wear and other difficulties the action
or these brakes on the car wheels is
not always even. One truck may re-
celve the full force of the application.
While another may receive scarcely any.
The invention If successful would
