In Initiating them. BY the ingenious
system of flanges it is made practically
impossible for car to leave the track.
On some parts of the line the rails
seem to be hanging in the air. In such
places the supports of the ties are an
chored to the rocks with beams of steel,
SO that the vibration is scarcely per-
cepttble, and there is no danger Of the
structure giving way. In spite of this
security many a tourist who had
planned to make the ascent has turned
back with q faint heart at the first
glimpse of the perilous looking suspen-
sion track.
The building of the road was haz-
ardous undertaking. Nothing SO auda-
cious in the construction of trolley lines
had ever been attempted. In transport
ing the materials up the steep ascents
burros were tried. If any beasts of bur-
den are sure-footed under such circum-
stances burros are, but the little ami
mails were unequal to the requirements,
and the rails, ties and other materials
of construction were carried up by men.

around the sharp curves, yawning
chasms and lodges, where the workmen
were often held in place by line IT
rope in the firm grasp of their helpers
above and below.
The cars were constructed without
compartments, or even awnings, as 1t
was desirable that the least resistance
to the wind possible might be secured.
A railing of steel surrounds the plat
form of each car, and no passenger is in
danger of tumbling of unless he loses
his head through sheer fright. It is
unnecessary to erect signs on this line,
warning pedestrians. to keep of the
track, for no pedestrians ever wander
along the roadbed.

The story Of how Uncle Joe" Cannon
got his wife, as related by Col. s. E.

est. Col. Fink was born at Canfleld,

where Molly Reed, who later became the
wife Of Speaker Cannon, was q school
girl. The charms Of this young wom-
an, who was the flower of that then

'sThat section produced some strong

keedom, as certain section of Ohio is
called because Of the Yankee settlers,
was the center and heart of western
abolftionism, the route Of the UNDER

olution the British burned the towns,
villages and the homes of the people.
and when the states coded to the gen.
eral government their lands Connecti-

ton rescuers and for their pains spent
months in the Cleveland Jail.
"In the early SOS, while these stir.
ring events were being enacted and
these mighty men were on the stage"
says Col. Fink. Molly Reed was a
school girl in Mahoning academy at
Garfield, on the southern borders of
the 11relands, ten miles south of where
Mckinley first saw the light of life,
and seven west of where he spent
his boyhood days and put on the blue
Of a soldier. Garfield was then a
beautiful little city set on a hill, with
broad streets, thickly set with trees,
the home Of cultivated, intelligent
people. an ideal school town. Molly
Reed was beautiful. bright, rosy
checked, cherry-lipped, and happy girl.
She had many admirers. They came
and then went with Molly's smiles or
her frowns. Her beauty and her win.
someness made her the master, and
her pathway was strewn with many
broken hearts.
I'm the summer of the great cam.
paign, while the black clouds of dis
aster hung over the nation, Molly went
to the then far-away prairies to visit
her cousins and aunts. Uncle Joe,'
then boy lawyer, was fascinated by
Molly Reed, and she in tura was won
by him. In the face of this Molly
returned to her home to await the
coming of Joe in the 3pringtime. One
by one her companions learned, in
confidence. of her betrothal until it
became the village story that Molly
was going, to marry some fellow from
the prairies.
The marriage day had been fixed
and the time Of the coming Of Joe was
as widely known as that of her be
trothal. But Joe did not come. It
was before the days Of railroads and
the telegraph for Garfield, and news
from afar came slowly. Some Penn
sylvania Dutch were sprinkled among
the Yankees, and one of these in sym.
patty and wonder said: Molly, wat
you dink, he cum still?' and she with
candor and frankness answered, 4 still

manner of her church, for Molly was

.soon u became known that young
Cannon was making his first political
campaign, and as a candidate for dis.
trict attorney, and when the battle
was over he came to Garfield and
carried away Molly Reed. There was
sadness in many hearts when Molly
and Joe left for their western home.
ION the prairies young Cannon and
his pretty wife built their home. Since
then over 40 years have come and
gone. bringing renown to Joe Cannon,
and with other joys he has been
blessed with the love of three daugh-
tiers. Molly Reed, or Mrs. Cannon, is
dead now. but there are scores in
'Yankeedom' who still remember her."

gave way before the crowd of excited

pushed off the stand into the narrow

was every indication of a panic, but by

were injured, and as they soon re-
gained their feet the crowd settled
back to watch the game.

abilities of the st. Paul team started

huddling in the shade near the bleacher
and the enthusiast addressed his re-
marks to him in a personal vein. Get
