BOYHOOD OF AL. ]. PlTKIN.
How the New President of Locomo-
tive Company Struggled to
Study Mechanics.

Albert ]. Pitkin was not apprenticed
because of any disinclination on his part
to study. but simply because his father.
a Presbyterian minister with charge
now in one town and now in another,
could not afford to send his boy through
| college. although he desired to do so.
Noting his love for mechanics, he did the
next best thing, and apprenticed him
to learn the machinist' S trade. When he
was 12 years old, he was sent to live with
his grandfather, in Granville, O., who
owned and operated cablnet-manufac-
| turing shop. This the boy haunted; it
became his playground. With remark
able cleyerness he made, out of wood.
machinery that would perform differ
| ent kinds of work. Once, with spin
ming wheel, which he found in an attic,
as the principal pulley, and with coarse
| string for belts he devised machine by
means of which he sawed wood. Be-
cause of his ingenuity there sprang up,
| between grandfather and grandson, ar
almost chummy friendship. He gained
his characteristic sobriety and serious
consideration of things through con-
slant association with his grandfather
who first taught him how to use a
chisel and mallet, how to drive nail
through a narrow piece of wood with
out cracking it, and how to sandpaper
and rub down a cabinet to make ready
! for vanishing. When he was only IA
years old he had mastered the con-
structive details of the portable engine
of the shop. He could also run the
turning lathe and other machines One
| day, while on a visit to Newark, o., he
went through a machine shop. He had
never before seen metal being manu-
| featured into machinery. The rasping
and harsh noises of its cutting were
music to his ear. From that time forth
| the cabinet shop was barren of attrac-
ton, and the dreams his grandfather
may have entertained of some day TAX
ing him into partnership disappeared as
quickly as shavings in a furnace. He
determined to become a machinist, to
| learn how to design machinery, and to
| become eminent as an engineer.
He began as an apprentice at 60 cents
a day in the Webster, Camp & Lane Ma
chine company's shops, chipping cast
ings with hand TOOLS and ended by as
sisting in setting up stationary engines
in neighboring villages, and, on the ex-
piration of his time, was engaged at
$2.25 day. For his betterment, after
year, he considered it wise to avail
himself of an opportunity to enter the
locomotive repair shops of the Clsve-
land. Akron & Columbus railroad. He
had always felt the common romantic
interest in locomotives, and had de-
lighted to watch their movements. The
locomotive then became his study.
When he crawled under one to make re-
pairs it was with students interest as
well as workman's skill. He familiar
lied himself with the mechanism of all
the existing styles on that railroad

FIGHT BETWEEN MONSTERS
Thrilling Encounter in jungle in
Which Rhinoceros Killed
a Huge Lion.

Some years ago, While hunting in the
Zambesi country for elephants ivory,
left camp with one attendant soon after
noon one day and made wide circuit,
but found no elephants, though signs
showed that they had been in the neigh
borhood in great numbers, says writer
in the Philadelphia Inquirer My at
tendant, bright Batonga boy about 16
years old, declared that the tuskers
sought had been scared away from their
usual feeding grounds by war party of
Barotse who had passed across the
country.
1t was getting dark when, disappoint-
ed, | started back toward camp. In a
woodland path where the trees stood
rather wide apart, but where the under
brush grew rank and thick, we came
across one of the scaffoldings, fixed in
the branches of an overhanging tree,
from which the natives of that region
kill elephants by thrusting into them
long spears as they pass beneath. These
spears have handle four or five feet
long and are as thick as a mans wrist,
while the spearhead is about 20 inches
long by two broad.
They drive the spear between the ami
mails ribs, and the wounded beast PUSHES

A Case of Pronouns.

Tommy Mulliga0. Of the seventh
grade, was absent frO1N the classroom
for one entire day. 1t would appear that
he had played truant, for unknown to
Tommy his teacher had spied him trudg-
ing homeward with pockets buiging
suspiciously when she too was home
ward bound that afternoon.
But Tommy brought note of excuse
the next morning which of course would
prove that he had been detained at home
legitimately. The writing was hardly
that of a fen mime hand, and the note
appeared to have been written laborious-
" and with much blotting; furthermore,
the penmanship seemed strangely ia
miliar to his teacher. The note read as
follows:
"Dear teacher--Please eXcus Tony for
not comeing to- shoot yestiddy. he cud-
not come. tore my pants.

wildly about, the shaft of the spear hit
ting the trees and causing the wound TO
gap, so that with two OF three such
spears in him he soon bleeds to death.
l determined to climb on the platform
and investigate, which was foolish on
my part, as we were at least three miles
from camp and night coming on. My
Batonga boy, whom had named David
carried SIT express rife TO hand to me
when l called for it, and I carried an
eight-bore.
In order to Swarm" up the platform,
| handed my eight-bore to David, who
thus held both guns. No sooner had l
fairly reached the scaffolding than there
came terrifying roar from the bush
and scream from the boy. Dropping
both weapons, he placed himself beside
me with the agility of a monkey.
l looked down to see huge old lion
spring from the bush into the path. The
beast shifted the rifles and paved them
warily. He evidently was one of those
superannuated lions of whom thss natives
say: His teeth are worn; he will eat
man." because they are not abs to fight
and kill their ordinary prey. 9'aus they
are more dangerous to an unaTmed man,
for they are hungry always, aud man
without gun fills a long-felt want with
them.
The lion scented us in the tree and
looked lOngingly up at us, sometimes
lying with his head upon his paws like
a domestic cat and just casting his eyes
sideways, as if thinking how good we
would taste, and then again roaring and
shaking his name, rearing on his hind
legs and scratching at the trunk of the
tree.
The moon came up and we could see
all this as from an open box. for the
branches of the trees let in enough light
on the path to make the scene visible.
Suddenly there came great crashing
of twigs, a cracking of small saplings
a general tear-up of the bush, and, thun-
dering out of the obscurity, putting and
snorting, dashed body, huge and un-
calmly, but with the speed of locomo-
tive.
It was rhinoceros, big, black and
ugly. The lion would gladly have turned
tail, but the rhinO was upon him too soon
and cornered the old cat. Then his
fighting blood awoke.
He made spring for the rhino, jump
ing sideways, and landed on his shout
ders, but his claws and teeth were worn,
and, after confused tumble of fighting
bodies, accompanied by terrific roars and
mighty snorts and puffs, We saw that the
rhino had shaken off his antagonist.
The two faced each other again. The
lion backed away and evidently was
about to run for it, when the rhino
charged The lion sprang into the air to
dodge, but the great horn of the rhino
caught him in the side and we heard a
terrible ripping sound. Then the two
combatants were hidden by the bush,
from which the rhino presently emerged
alone. making uncouth noises and APP
parently in a great rage. He tossed his
head as if he scented us, but in his mad
anger rushed wildly away, crashing
through the forest.
Descending from the tree and regain
ing our guns, we found the lion dead.
We arrived in camp before the return OF
the party which had been sent out in
search of us.

When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
Ever since had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Amy excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state of ifeless-

difficulties came from change of life.
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me SO little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
What saved you from your state of
hopelessness?"
lin July of 1903 I had very bad
spell, and my huE and came in one day
with little book which told of remark

blood and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink

that was the beginning of my return to
health. Ny appetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
Chow long did you take this remedy?"
"For two months only. At the end
of that time had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that am looking better than I have
done for the past fifteen years"
