Some people are so unfortunate
as to be lucky. Good luck to them
is always sure to work them ill.
They are best off when they are
''hard up" They are kind and
gentle and obliging when they are
poor, but let them get little start
in the world and their animal in
stinc+s at once assert themselves.
They become rude, cruel and sell
fish and frequently overbearing.
When the COW comes to be the
corner stone of farm administra-
ton she always works marvellous
change and always for the better.
No store bills are run up, she is
soon followed by the big red barn,
the crops begin to increase and the
land becomes more fertile, while
before long a bank account takes
the place of that old blister of
farm mortgage. It always works
this way.
Invariably railroad men refer
to an engine as ''shc." This seems
hardly suitable for one of these
massive snorting monsters that
carry hundreds of people, COM
Portable resting in cushioned seats,
over the country at the rate of
so miles en hour. There is no.
thing feminine in these gigantic
public servants and if they were to
be compared with human beings
it appears that the only logical in
clination would be to classify them
with James j. Jeffries and some
OF the other pug artists and speak
of them as ''he." But, on the
other hand, the engine actually
includes in her makeup, some of
the peculiarities of the ladies,
namely bonnet and a petticoat.
The bonnet is part of the smoke
stack and the petticoat is a pipe in
the smokestack that directs the
exhaust. AS on of the old North
western engineers said yesterday,
''some of the new sprouts entering
into the railroad business call the
petticoat a draft pipe but that is
only heightened name and to the
old boys it is and will always be
just plain petticoat. To many of
the railroad engineers their engine
is like an old pal and they often
give them sentimental pet names
and tinker about them with as
much pleasure as does the pussy
with her young kittens.
