he had not the remotest notion. Into
Amiens the great train rushed after a
trip of 105 miles without a single

been made up a good eight minutes
of the delay in starting. Often the
train ran at sixty miles an hour and
over, or twice the speed of Egypts

group OF officials in full evening dress

special state saloon provided for the

he could not be found there. Then
down the platform very dirty man

Some Facts About Money

These are strange times In the ac-

entire sum of these international

But the memorable morning for
Aloysius came shortly thereafter. 1t
was one of those keen October morn
ings that bite so in the Hills. The
construction train, Extra 240 West,
had started at about o'clock from
the head Of the PEGS with a load of
steel for the track layers, and stop
ped for a bite of breakfast at Wind
River. Above the round house there
is a switchback. When the train
pulled in the crew got off for some
hot coffee. Johnnie Horigan was
around playing the good fellow, and
he climbed into the cab TO run the
train through the switchback while
the crews were at the eating house.
1t was irregular to leave the engine,
but they did. and as for Johnnie Hori-
gan, he was regularly irregular. There
were sixteen cars of steel in the
string. besides cabooseful Of labor
ers The backing up the leg of the
nipper was easy. After the switch
was newly set Johnnie pulled down
the lower leg, and that, considering
the whiskers. was too easy.
When he pulled past the eating
house on the down grade he was 60
ing SO lively with his fats that he
was away before the crew could get
out Of the lunchroom. In just one
minute everybody in Wind River was
in trouble; the crew because their
train was disappearing down the can
yon; the eating house man because
nobody paid him for his coffee. and
Johnnie Horigan because he found
It impossible to stop. He had dump
ed the sand, he had applied the air,
he had reversed the engine BY all

car she ought to stop But she didn't
stop, and-this was the embarrassing
feature--she was headed down a hill
twenty miles long, with curves to
weary a boa constructor. John hung
his head wildly over the drivers, look
ed back at the yelling crew, coltem-
plated the load that was pushing him
down the grade, and his head began
to swim. There appeared but one
thing to do; that was to make noise,
and as he neared the roundhouse he
whistled like the wind. Aloysius

a mental second. The trair was
running away and Horigan was leav-

view it was tough proposition, but

The critical moment had arrived
the fond, proud parents were casting
around for a name to tack on the
baby.

It happened that exactly twelve
neighbors latter the manner of good
neighbors) had taken the trouble to

they considered a suitable name and,
strange, no two names were alike. The

INVENTOR OF THE scYTHE.
Joseph Jencks Had the Idea over Two
Centuries Ago.

Joseph Jencks Had the Idea over Two
Centuries Ago.
In rummaging among old papers a
Lynn gentleman has discovered the
complete pattern of the American
scythe, which was invented two and
half centuries ago by Joseph Jencks,
an ironworlSer of Saugus, Massachu-
setts. The invention of the scythe,
says the Boston Herald, is referred
to in Lewis and Newhalls History
of Lynn"
This scythe took the place of the
English 'bushwhacker" scythe, made
of a piece of thin steel, about eighteen
inches long and three inches wide.
Jencks more than doubled the
length Of the scythe, reduced its
width to one and one-half inches, and
stiffened it by welding a square bar
on the back.
The patent was, by an enactment of
the Massachusetts General Court, as
follows:
MAY 23, 1865. 1t is ordered that
Joseph Jencks, senr., and his assigns,
only, shall haue liberte graunted to
them to make that engine the said
Jencks hath proposed to this Court for
the more speedy cutting of grasse,
for seven years, and that no inhab-
liant or other person within this jur-
isdiction during that time shall make
or yse any of that kind of engine
without license first obtained from
the said Joseph Jencks, on the poenal-
ty of five pounds for euery such en-
glne so made or vsed, to be recouered
at any Court in this Jurisdiction by
the said Joseph Jencks, senr., or his
assignes."

Pat Mcbride and |

These verses, says the Chicago
Post, were written by Otto F. Pearre,
a lawyer, who died In Pontiac in 1897.
We do not know that they are to be
found in any compilation of poems,
but the lines, as taken from a scrap
book, are as follows
Stretching away on every side
A fair domain you see:
A part belongs to Pat Mcbride,
A part belongs to me.

With all Its tints that play
Upon the springing grass and corn
Pat owns the corn and hay.
I own the cat-bird, thrush and jay,
The larks that sing and soar

About his stable door.
But where the shadows on yon stream
Are changing every hour.

Pat owns the water power.
Mine Is the murmur OF this rIll
Whose sweet tones never cease,
But all the air with music fill

That Ger the meadow floats
Like some pure angel in a shroud-

for that; at least, not to my knoWl-

So Ralph the boy became, and his

SAVED BY A DREAM.
Timely Supernatural Warning That
Was Needed.

Was Needed.
Many years ago the wife of the
agent of land owner and mine pro-
prietor in the north of England
aroused her husband from sleep and
told him she had dreamed that she
saw a wooded lane above the river
and some men hiding in bushes; she
saw him riding along and the men
shoot at him from behind and drag
him, dead, into the bushes, The place
in her dream she did not know, but
it happened to be q desolate spot of
country past which he would have to
ride on the following day, when re-
turning from the mines with his mon
ey. Twice more that night the woman
dreamed the same thing again, and
to appease her terrors her husband
promised that he would chose a diff
ferent route for his ride. The next
night a murder was committed in
the very spot which the woman had
pictured in her vision. The victim
was a young surgeon named Stirling,
the most popular young man in the
neighborhood, but desperately poor.
He had nothing in his possession but
a watch, and that the murderers took.
His body was found in the bushes
which the dreamer had described. The
watch was traced to a pawnbroker's
shop at Durham and the men who mad
pledged it were arrested. Their names
may be remembered-Cain and Rain
Tightly clinched in the hand of the
murdered man was a button of pink
glass, fashioned in imitation of an
amethyst. 1t exactly matched those
upon the waistcoat of Cain. But sym
pathizers with the two men heard of
this clew and scattered hundreds of
similar buttons in the wood where the
body was found. The men were ac-
quilted, although everybody believed
that they were guilty.

There Is a thing In the world that has
been since the world began:
The hatred of man for woman, the hatred
of woman for man,
When shall this thing be ended? When
love ends, hatred ends,
For love is a chain between foes, and
love is a sword between friends,
Shall there never be love without hatred?
Not since the world began.
Until man teach honor to woman, and
woman teach pity TO man.
o, that a man might live his life for a
little tide
without this rage In his heart, and with
out this foe at his sidel
He could eat and sleep, and be merry and
forget, he could live well enough.
Were IT not for this thing that remembers
and hates. and that hurts and Is love.
But peace has not been In the world since
love and the world began
For the man remembers the woman. and
the woman remembers the man.
