How New President of American Loco
 motive Go. Struggled to Study.
 Albert J. Pitkin was not apprenticed because of any disinclination on his part to study, but simply because his father, Presbyterian minister with charge now in one town and now in another, could not afford to send his boy through college. although he de- sired to do so. Noting his love for mechanics. he did the next best thing, and apprenticed him to learn the ma chinist's trade. When he was twelve years old he was sent to live with his grandfather, in Granville, Ohio, who owned and operated cabinet-manu- featuring shop. This the boy haunted; 1t became his playground With re- markable cleverness he made, out of wood, machinery that would perform different kinds of work. Once, with a spinning wheel, which he found in an attic, as the principal pulley, and with coarse string for belts, he devised a machine by means of which he sawed wood. Because of his ingenuity there sprang up, between grandfather and grandson, an almost chummy friend ship. He gained his characteristic SO briety and serious consideration of things through constant association with his grandfather-whofl first taught him how to use chisel and mallet how to drive a nail through narrow piece of wood without cracking 1t, and how to sandpaper and rub down cabinet to make ready for vanishing. When he was only fourteen years old he had mastered the constructive de- tails of the portable engine of the shop. He could also run the turn ing lathe and other machines. One day, while on visit to Newark, Ohlo he went through a machine shop. He had never before seen metal being manufactured into machinery. The rasping and harsh noises of It's cut ting were music to his ear From that time forth the cabinet shop was barren of attraction, and the dreams his grandfather may have entertained of some day taking him into partner ship disappeared as quickly as shay ings in a furnace. He determined to become a machinist, to learn how to design machinery and to become eml- nent as an engineer.
 He began as an apprentice at sixty cents day In the Webster Camp and Lane Machine Company's shops, chip ping castings with hand tools, and ended by assisting in setting up stu tionary engines in neighboring vil- lages, and. on the expiration of his time, was engaged at two dollars and twenty i've cents a day. For his bet torment, after year, he considered 1t wise to avail himself of an opportun- lty to enter the locomotive repair shops of the Cleveland Akron & Columbus Railroad. He had always felt the common romantic interest in locomo- tives, and had delighted to watch their movements. The locomotive then be- came his study When he crawled under one to make repairs 1t was with students interest as we'll as a work mans skill. He familiarized himself with the mechanism of all the existing styles on that railroad.-Success.

that the Masonic Widows and Orphans

the Grand Lodge now having on hand
for that purpose a fund Of SAG. 900. II
is proposed BY the CIR. Lodge to raise al
once at least $50. 900 more and proceed
with the building. This Home will
represent an investment OF S100, 900.
The location has not yet been decided
upon, but the trustees OF the Home vii
make the decision in the neal future,
and proceed with the building.
Now, it strikes us that there is ne
better place in the State for this Home

Insane Man was Human Ostrich.

Here is what has been found in
the stomach of Silas Everett, 23
years of age, sent to the East Mis-
sissippi Insane Hospital, at this
place four years ago suffering from
insanity: Six brass whenches such
as are used for water faucets, two in
ches long and weighing two ounces
each ten brass and iron screws,
ranging in length from one-half to
two inches; eight iron and brass
nuts, ten pieces Of bent wire, seven
ty-five iron aud steel nails, various
sizes and shapes, some of them full
ly three inches in length fifty-three
brass pins, five keys, forty-nine
pieces Of tin, most Of it bent so as it
could be swallowed easier; one 10
cent piece, one copper penny, one
glass stopper, miscellaneous collec-
ton of glass and porcelain ware,
assortment of pants and collar but
tons, together with rocks. pebbles,
safety pins and other substances
wholly out of place in the human
stomach.
For over two years the man has
been treated for consumption. He
ate very we'll at all times, but some
thing about his symptoms caused
DR.. Buchanan, physician in charge
and Drs. Card and Champenoise,
the assistants, to diagnose his
trouble as consumption. Sunday
night he ate heartily and retired at
the usual hour without making com.

he called for water and when the
attendant went to give it to him he
found the man dead. DR.. Buchanan
says he knows nothing in medical
history to equal the remarkable
performance Of this insane man.

Uncle Sam Raises Game Fowls and
the Animals Eat Them Up.
The Feredal government and the
State of Louisiana will probably have
to abandon their plan to use Breton
Island, on the coast, as a preserve for
The propagation OF prairie hens and
pther fowls, owing to the immense
pumbers Of raccoons that have pre-
smpted the claim.
Although the island is a small one
4 is said by the game wardens that
within it's few square miles there must
be 5000 to 10000 coons.
About $4,000 prairie hens were
hatched this year, and as soon as they
became of an eatable size they were
eevoured by the 'coons. The same has
happened to other varieties Of game
fowl which the government endeav.
pred to propagate on the island.
The Breton islands are some dis
lance from the mainland and difficult
oi acces 1t was for this reason that
they were selected as a preserve. But
the 'coons have spoiled all the plans.
A force Of trappers and hunters is to
be sent to the island after the 'coons,
but so great is their number that it is
feared they cannot be exterminated.-
