VEST POCKET LOCOMOTIVE.
The Smallest Thing of the Kind Ever
Built.

What is said to be the smallest oper-
ating locomotive in the world is on
exhibition near the Texas building, at
The st. Louis Exposition. 1t was de-
signed and built by Robert L. Costan,
Of Fort Worth, Texas. The engine is
four and one-half feet long, thirteen
and one-half inches high, and when
loaded, with coal and water only
weighs 1876 pounds. The little track
on which the engine runs is but FIVE
and a half inches wide. In the loco
motive and tender are $500 pieces.
One of the most difficult feats in
connection with the construction Of
this baby locomotive by Mr.. Costan
was the making of the little steam
gauge, upon which he spent so much
of his six years time required to COM
plete the product of his mechanical
skill. The gauge is only three
fourths of an inch in diameter, yet
it registers accurately from one to 200
pounds. 1t has nineteen different
parts. In the boiler 1,726 holes we're
drilled and as many bolts riveted.
Forty-eight parts are in the boiler
The cylinder of the locomotive has 1873
parts, requiring eeshty-eight holes to
be drilled and tapped, and the same
number of tiny steel nuts and bolts.
Mr.. Costan, who constructed this re-
markable locomotive, is also the
maker of a carduigraph, combined
with thermometer. This instrument
is the size of half dollar, and regis
ters on a little tape the pulsations OF
the human heart accurately, as well
as the temperature of the patient. He
is native of Columbus, Ga, but Fort
Worth is his adopted home, having re-
sided there for many years. He is
young man. Mr.. Costan's parents
died when he was years old, and
four years later he began his life's
work, that of designer and maker
of jewelry. Much pleasure was de-
rived by Mr.. Costan in the labor OF
building the locomotive.

one of the little group of eager listen

"Oh, turkey an cranberry sauce an

"Whoopeei" cried Billy Dornan, who
went hopping about on one foot, while
Maggie Todd, the flower girl, who had
hobbled over on her crutch, begged,
with eyes that were shining, "Oh, Lar

Larry remembered suddenly that
Maggie's father had died a few months
before. OF course, she wouldn't have
nice dinner. Why had he asked the
thoughtless question and brought tears
into those blue eyes? He looked about
at the little circle. Not one of them

would have Thanksgiving treat, of
that he was sure. Poor little Sam, the
blootblack, would spend his pennies for
bowl of soup at one Of the kitchens.
Spot, the raggedest of all, forlorn
little founding, who belonged to no
one at all and slept in a great brick
covered alleyway along with tramps
and thieves, would be glad of even a
rrust, while Billy Dornan, whose moth
er took in washing to fill the hungry
mouths of the six little brothers and
sisters, would be lucky if he got any
thing for himself. Larry's heart gave
4 thump as he looked at the faces
about him; then thought of tie great
basket, its sides fairly bullying with
good things. Why, perhaps not one of
hem had even tasted turkey, and he
had had it many times before his
mother had died. sudden thought
flashed into his mind as he sat there.
Well, why should he not? Jess, he was
sure, would be very glad, for she had
often told him that they must remem-
Der those poorer than themselves.
Then, too, it would be such fun. "My
Lady" had said she wanted the pretty
white dress for Thanksgiving Day, be-
cause she was going to have dinner

A Growing Tendency.

Throughout the United States the
growing tendency to combine with the
joyful celebration Of Thanksgiving day
by the affluent or well-to-do element
the distribution Of food and other gifts
to the less fortunate is especially
marked. 1t may, in fact, be said to be
one of its leading features, and so long
as generosity and prosperity go hand
in hand in this matter the truest inter-
probation of the real purpose of the
observance of the day is unquestion-
ably secured.

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic to
j. the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and conmendation testifying to the
merits OF Peruna as catarrh remedy are
pouring in from every State of the Union.
DR.. Hartman is receiving hundreds of
such letters daily. All classes write these
letters, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor lsborer. the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacfrer-ali agree that Peruna is the ca
tarrh remedy Of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognising ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are espc-
cially enthusiastic in their praise aud tes-
6mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. CatarTh Is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, Is to cheat
catarrh Of its victims.
Perstna not only @ lures ca tar7h, but
PreUessts 1t. Every household should
be sHPptfed actth this great remedy
Tor coughs, colds aud so forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it contin-
ually in the house.

Mans Greatest Work.

The greatest structure ever raised
by the hand of man is the great pyra-
mid of C4eops, Egypt, founded 1000
years ago, and measuring TAG feet
square on the base and 449 feet high.
It took twenty years in construction;
one hundred thousand men worked
for three months, and then being re-
lieved, were succeeded by an equally
large corps. The massive stones were
brought from Arabia, 70 miles away.
The cost of the work is estimated at
s145. 200. 900.

A Good Haul.

The arrest of three men yesterday
by Deputy Sheriff Knowles has turned
out to be a good haul. This morning
Sheriff Aukele of Chaffee county and
Marshal Herzinger of Salida arrived
here and went at once to the county
jail to see if they could idenify one of
the three men they we're after.
The man whom thew wanted was
not the one first arrested by Mr..
Knowles. but one of the men who
walked away and was follow ed by
Mr.. Fredericks and afterward placed
under arrest by officers Knowles and
Hardy. 1t appears that the man who
was writing the letter was not writing
it for himself but for one of his pals
who was with him. The name of the
one who was having it written is Civ
en- as Burns and also as Monaghan.
Sheriff Ankele says that the man
apprehended W as one of gang of
four. the other three being in prison
and that he is desperate character
and they are mighty. glad they have
him in custody.

Everything is thrown open to the

There are things to see, there are

which Glenwood is famous, and all
these things cannot be taken in in
