First Locomotive steam whistle,


Locomotives. seventy five years ago
had no whistles. The engineer kept
by his side q tin horn, which he blew
before curves and dangerous cross
ings. But the noise was feeble.
In 1888 an English farmers cart was
run down on the way to market, and
l 900 eggs, 100 pounds of butter, two
horses and a man were bumped in one
great omelet on the rails. The rail
way had to pay the damages. The
president sent for George Stevenson
and said angrily:
''Our engineers can't blow their
horns loud enough to clear the tracks
ahead. You have made your steam
do so much, why don't you make it
blow good loud horn for us?"
Stevens pondered. An idea came to
him. He visited musical instrument
maker and had constructed a horn
that gave a horrible screech when
blown by steam. From this horn the
locomotive whistle of today descended.

The Two Roads,

Men have two kinds of ambition
one for dollar-making, the other for
life-making. Some turn all their
ability, education, health and energy
toward the first of dollar-mak-
ing-and call the result success.
Others turn them toward the second
into character, usefulness, helpfulness
-life-making -and the world some
times calls them failures; but history
calls them successes. No price is too
great to pay for an untarnished name

Whom the Gods Love.

There are two standards of measure
ment of human life-the one by years,
the other by achievement. Measured by
years. Sidney Lanier's life of less than
twoscore was a broken column; meas
ured by achievement, his life Is not yet
ended-he is immortal. Robert Burns
died at thirty-seven, Byron at thirty
six, Poe at forty, Raphael at thirty six,
Lanier at thirty-nine. 1t is whom the
gods love die young. And yet who
shall say that the Scottish plow boy,
or the author Of "Childe Harold, OF he
who sang of the Raven" or the paint
err Of the "Transfiguration,' or the COM
poser of Centennial Cantata," do not,
one and all, still speak to us in voices
whose echoes will command enraptur-
ed listeners away down the centuries
