Life of Locomotives

In this country the general method is
70 run locomotive for a limited num-
Der Of years. and then to relegate il to
the scrap heap-in favor OF a more mod
ern type Of engine. On the other side.
however, the practice is to retain a
locomotive in service as long as it will
run, irrespective Of the developments
and improvements that may be incor-
p0rated in the progress Of time The
result is that upon the English rail
roads may be seen engines still in hard
use which we should consider long past
their term Of service. Yet no English
engine has attained the unique distinc-
tion achieved by the locomotive No.

tion Of a chain of six or seven Of the
most important ports, giving France

This viii not be definitely determined
until the Sultan responds to the French
demands for redress. The occupation
of ports is considered to be more effec-
tive than a naval demonstration, as
the United States demonstration at

promised to go to work and help pay
off the bills.
When Clark returned home to-day he
was dismayed to find a letter from his
wife under the door. There was dust

opening the letter, but he finally tore
open the envelope. The faithless wife

General Chafee,s UNIFORM.

5 War Department officials and en-
ployeS are unable to make UP their
minds whether the joke is or is not
on General Chaffee. While he was in
the Far West last summer inspecting
army posts the order issued during
the Spanish war requiring officers on
duty In the War Department to wear
their uniforms during Office hours was
rescinded and since then the wearing
OF uniforms at the department has
been abandoned. That is, it has with
one important exception. The excep-
ton Is General Chaffee, the ranking
officer of the army, who appears at
his desk every day in his military at
tire, including the three stars on each
shoulder, indicating his rank. Either
he does not know of the latest order
on the subject or he does not care.
Naturally none of his subordinates
feel called on to suggest change, so
that General Chaffee continues con-
spicuous as the only man in uniform
in the War Department.-Chi
