EspIdO Takenaka, Japanese, Run
over by An Engine Last
Tuesday.
WAS WARNED BUT DID NOT HEAR
Was known As Tug, and Had Lived
Here Ab0ut FOHr Nears-WOrked
for ThoIin h Snbth-Was Well
Liked by Every body.

Last Tuesday, about $50 o'clock,
Espido Takenaka, young japanese,
who has been employed by 1holin &
Smith, and better known as Tug,
was on his way to the depot, riding a
wheel. The east bound passenger
train had just pulled into the depot.
A west bound freight train was going
through the switch back of the depot.
When Tug reached the crossing at the
east end of the depot he did not notice
the freight and dismounte ted from his
wheel and stepped on the track. A
half dozen people yelled at him to look
out, but he either became bewildered
or did not hear them, and in an instant
he was under the wheels. The body
was dragged some seventy yards before
the engine was stopped. The wheels of
the engine had passed over one arm
but he was so badly injured internally
that it was evident that lie could not
live long though he had not lost con-
sciousness. He was placed on
stretcher and taken to the hospital
where he died in about thirty minutes.
DR.. Mccoy attended him but said
there was little he could do for him
Tug was quite well known and gen
orally liked by all who knew him.
The engineer was in no way to anne,
as he was on the opposite side of the
engine and could not see the man.

FIRE THREATENED TOWN
by Hard Work From Ten 10 Fifteen
Residences Were Saved. - Six
Hundred Tons of Coal Were
Destroyed.

Last Friday, when the alarm of fire
was sounded, and it was learned that
the Great Northern coal bunkers were
on lire, the old story of ''the wolf, the
wo E." was repeated. Two or three
times in the past three months the coal
bunkers had been on fire, but each time
the fire was extinguished before it had
gained headway. So that when it was
said the coal sheds were on fire every
body said, oh. they will put it out, and
paid very little atteLlion to the alarm.
n few minutes, however, dense vol
umes of smoke were seen to ascend
from the east end of the sheds. 1t was
soon seen that they were doomed about
this time it was also seen that q num-
ber of residences on the south side OF
the track would also burn if some hard
work was not done.
Fortunately, very good supply of
water was on hand in the reservoir,
which was used with good effect.
The residences of George Blocksedge,
p. j. McGregor and Frank Burns We're
exposed to the greatest danger, If
either of these had caught fire at least
eight or ten other houses would Ger
tainly have burned.
Hans Hansen did very effective work
on Mr.. Biocksedges house and prob
ably deserves the credit for preventing
it from taking fire.
The company's round house, which
was in some danger, was looked after
by the railroad men.
The six hundred tons OF coal which
was stored in the coal bunkers made a
most intensely hot fire, which made it
impossible to get very close.
Beyond the dam ge caused by break
age, in moving furniture out of the
threatened houses the damage to pri-
vate property was nominal. The losses
of the railroad company are estimated
at from twelve to fifteen thousand dol
lars. which is covered by insurance.
The fire broke out at one o'clock.
At 2:lO, when the east and west bound
passenger trains are due here, it was
impossible for the trains to pass the
burning mass of coal. The passengers,
baggage and express we're transferred.
causing delay of about hree hours.
A tempo ary track was bui around the
burning mass of coal which vas ready
for use by ten o'clock.
Five cars loaded with coal, had just a
short time before the alarm was given,
been trans erred TO the bunkers and
were also destroyed.
A large quantity of oil, and other
material was stored ia the oil house
When this caught fire dense volume
of smoke and flame shot skyward, Civ
ing one fair idea of what a burning
oil vel afire was like.
A new coal shed and bunkers has
been planned for some time, but we are
informed that they were not to have
been built until next spring. 1t is
quite possible that work on these will
now begin this fall, though nothing
definite is known as to this.

Our Naval Engineers.

The Bennington disaster recalls the
prediction of Rear Admiral Melville. a
distinguished naval engineer, when the
naval personnel bill was before con-
gress a few years ago. That bill he
came a law and gives to naval en-
gineers the standing as officers which
they had not before enjoyed. The a1-
miral declared then that this change
would detract from the distinctiven@'s
of naval engineering.
Since the Bennington disaster naval
officers have freely said that naval en-
gineers are now more theoretical than
practical and that the decline dates
from the placing of the personnel bill
upon the statute books. Formerly a
naval engineer was a gentleman" in
fact, but he wore overalls and ran q
lathe now and then and always took a
mechanics pride in having everything
about the engines in shipshape.

To Weather Proof Stone and Metal

To Weather Proof Stone and Metal.
Announcement is made that a Eu
ropean chemist named Brunn has dis.
covered a process, evidently known to
the ancients, for making stone and
metal proof against exposure and time.
Recent experiments with the process
are described as follows:
A piece of ordinary and easily breakable
Stag after immersion in zorene defied the
full blow of hammer There was the

block of ied jarrah wood. All three were
then Immersed in water for a long time
When taken out and weighed with deli
cate scales the presence of single par
ticle of added moisture could not be de-
tected Two pieces of steel submitted to
an ammonia test equal to five years' ex-
as they entered 1t. An ordinary table
knife which had lain open five months did
not show the slightest stain.
1t is claimed by Professor Brunn
that the life of metals exposed to air
will be doubled and that stone roads
can be made proof against germs,
dust and water. He says that his dis
covery is the result of years of study
upon mortar taken from Greclan ruins
that have stood the test of 1900 years.

Reviewing the types of "lesson
plays" which are to be put upon the
American stage this season, a critic ia
the New York Evening Post complains
that the artistic immortality of the au-
thors is more pernicious than the i'm
morality of the characters. He says:
That {. play tends to make vice uttrac-
tive is a serious enough charge against
any worl on the English stage, but what
shall be said of the creative insincerity
which would wrench the teaching of &
plainly insalubrious play into a homily?
To quote further:
Four acts very much on earth and a
sanity epilogue in the improvised para
dise-thau is the formula which English
dramatis.s and their American imitatoTs
have worked upon to the detriment both
of good faith and good art Obvious con-
cessions 20 accepted standards of moral
ity JUS; before the curtain falls will
scarcely atone for two hours of detailed
and analytical exposition of the fact that
virtue IL a bore. The apology is tardy
and mechanical and very seldom succeeds
in effacing the impression that the play
wright Is sincere only when he is wicked,
but that when he is good he Is tired.
Most Of us are clever enough to seize
the elementary fact that woman reform
ing without cause is. artistically at least
as immoral as the woman shining under
provocatton and that virtue which de-
pends for it's preservation on the oppor-
tune ARRIVAL of a messenger boy with a
telegram is, strictly speaking, starcely
virtue at all.
Whenever the author attempts to
show that the wages of sim is death,
says thiH critic. he too often confounds
the wages of sin with the wages Of
martyrdom to a sublime conception of
duty, and by making the death bald
physical taking off instead of a moral
decay rcbs the lesson of all force.
Not the easy escape of death, but
slsw ard steady degeneration with
moral Indifference Into inertia into
nothingness," would seem to be the
fitting corollary to the proposition that
the wages of sin is death.

When A. B. Lloyd, the famous mis-.
sionary and explorer, had been in
the land Of the pygmies for six days
and seen nothing of them he began to
believe that the stories of pygmies were
mere fairy tales.
Late on that sixth day, however, Mr..
Lloyd had his attention called to a
weird looking object high up in the
branches Of a tree.
"Its a monkey" said Mr. Lloyd's
"boy"
Mr.. Lloyd had succeeded in killing
no wild pig that day, and food being
urgently needed he decided to be con-
tent with. monkey. So up went his
rife, and he took steady and unerring
aim. His finger was already upon the

to apply pressure when

are coming out of them in hundreds
The first night Coster succeeded in
creeping to the lights and in stopping
them for several minutes. Then Hulse
landed on his back and bore him down
again to the living room.
The second day Coster became worse
and raved that the lights were shining
full in his eyes and binding him.
When night began to fall he quieted
down and then, creeping up the stairs,
attacked Hulse again. The two Crap
pied and fought all around the tiny
circular room. Three times Hulse was
caught underneath, and as often he
struggled on top. He was fighting for
his life and, putting all his strength
in a final effort, succeeded in hurting
the maddened man bodily down the
stairs. For the rest of the night Coster
lay quiet.
When day broke Hulse saw that the
maddened man was washing the blood
from his face and hands. Then, taking
a razor, he began to hack the Hnll.
Presently he took a cold chiSel and
hammer and began to dig out the
bricks. He hammered at the masonry
Of cross wall until he had made a
hole big enough to crawl through.
Then, when he found he had not cut
into the open, he tried to kill himself.
He drew the razor across his throat,
but 1t had so far lost it's edge on the
bricks that he only cut himself slight
~. He was trying to break his skull
with the hammer when Hulse again
threw himself upon him. The men
fought for an hour, and finally Hulse
succeeded in wrenching knife from
Coster and in throwing all the tools in
the room through the window into the
sea. The men were still struggling
when Rutland returned. Hulse ex-
planned the situation in few words,
and Coster was bound hand and foot.
He was held prisoner until he showed
signs Of recovering his reason, when
he was taken ashore at his request and
placed on train which bore him west

We noted an old lady the other day
busily engaged in gathering wild
grapes from vines which she had train
ed along a barbed wire fence on the
side of grainfield. She had large
basket full of this delicious jelly fruit
and was gathering it with the great
est ease. 1t suggested very useful

the waves to warn ships of the danger
Gus low lying shoals.
Only when official report was made
to the government officials in Temp
kinsville, N. Y, did the facts of the
thrilling duel become known The
fight over, the victor now goes about
his work Of setting the light for the
roaming mariners as If the monotony
of life on the bare speck Of an island
never had been broken. His frenzied
companion has had time to regain his
senses and is off to parts unknown,
dismissed from the government serv-
ice, and that to the regret Of the man
who saved him from murder and sui
eide and a worse crime in refusing a
guiding signal to mariners trusting in
him for line through the turbulent
waters.
Julius COster, of whom little Is
known save his name, was the second
assistant at the Stratford light. AS
sistant Keeper Merrill Hulse was his
superior, and both were subject to the
command Of Keeper Gilbert II. Rub
land. In the summer season the men
exchange hours Of duty and thereby
obtain as much freedom as possible
against the forced Imprisonment of the
storms Of the fall and the gales and
the drifting Ice foes of the bleak mid
winter.
1t came Coster's turn for several
days ashore. He spent most Of the
time in saloon. 1t is said that the
night before he was due to return to
the light he and a friend drank three
quarts Of whisky. A heavy swell was
running when Coster put out for the
light. By some trick Of his alcohol
laden wits he managed to reach the
lighthouse in safety and to report to
Rutland without arousing suspicion.
Hulse and Rutland had reached an
agreement whereby Rutland was to
have two full days ashore, and when
Coster climbed up the rope ladder into
the tower Rutland dropped into the
boat and rowed to the shore.
Coster hung over the iron railing,
watching the tiny craft until Rutland
turned a corner Of the bay and was
lost to sight Then Coster sprang up
the iron stairs and in the small apart
ment where the lights burn seized
Hulse around the neck. Hello, my
boy!' he exclaimed. I'm going to
break the lights, and then We'll jump
off and drown togetherr'
You've been drinking, julius" Hulse
said. go below and sleep it off,"
Yes, l WILL said Coster, and. re-
leasing his hold, he attempted to drive
his foot through one of the lenses.
Hulse caught him and by main
strength forced him down the stairs
into the living rooms. Then began the
struggle which lasted for forty-eight
hours and resulted in Coster being
overpowered when Hulse was on the
point Of complete exhaustion. Two
days and two nights the struggle went
on, COster, with maniacal shrewdness,
plotting to circumvent and Stay the
cool, determined man who opposed him.

ing aim, and a momentarily improved
view of it had shown him exactly what
it was.
Sure enough, Mr.. Lloyd had seen his
first pygmy. The little man had been
watching them, and on hearing the
''boy" speak he ran nimbly along the
branch which was supporting him and
then, springing lightly from tree to
tree, quickly disappeared.
Had the shot been fired Mr.. Lloyd
would certainly have met with fear
full death almost on the instant, for the
dwarf, as he discovered later, was not
alone, and the wounding of one Of the
tribe would have brought whole
horde of the tiny savages down upon
the missionary with fury which
nothing could have appeased.

Many a man can find very inter-
esting object lesson in the unproductive
acres on his farm. Nearly every man
which produce little or nothing year
after year and that the burden Of crop
production on his farm is confined to
only part Of his land. These unprofit-
able acres may be marsh and should be
tile drained, or they may be brush
acres, when the brush should be re-
moved and a chance given for the
grass to grow and make pasture, or
they may be hillsides too steep for cul-
tivation and should be set to growing
trees.
