A AEA,InIfs ENGINE.

Not long ago a little old fashioned
switch engine was haulded down the
main line Of Western railroad to be
thrown into the scrap pile. Dingy.
rusty, worn out. not worth repairing
further, it was yet of sufficient impor-
jance to attract to station platforms
hundreds of men and women who had
not forgotten the record of "Engine "a.
of the Alton" and wanted last look
at the old machine.
Just NJ third of a century ago '0i
was the most famous locomotive in
the world. To the bounds of civiliza-
iton, wherever the telegraph and the
daily news reached, it was talked
about, praised. spoken of with the
pride which all the world feels in one
OF mans creations which has done a
wonderful thing. And wonderful
thing "9I" had done, for. stopping only
for water, it had run for three con-
seeutive hours ut speed approximat-
ing mile Minute, and had even run
long stretches of the way at the then
undreamed Of speed OF mile In afty-
seven seconds.
That was in October, 1871. The
engine was in the roundhouse Mt
Bloomington. III. On the previous
night word had reached Bloomington
that a great, fire was in progress IN
Chicago. Early In the morning a
telegram chine to the Bloomington
fire department from the mayor of the
burning city, asking for aid. The fire
department called up railway ofIiclal
and asked for a special train.
SO ''07" was fired up, rolled out to
the main line, coupled to a coach and
a nat car. and sent to ! tenn track.

FISHING IN As,zoNA
Methods of Eya'iin= the Stringent Game
Laws OF the State.


The fish and game law of the Ter
ritory will have TO be remodeied by
the next Legislature in order to make
Il n little more liberal As 1t stands
now John Stroehle and several other
sporismcn are technical violators of It.
ON Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Stroehle
and several others were fishing below
the city. Mr.. Strochle was armed with
a iish spear with which lie intended
10 Violate the law, but lie never got
the chance.
While he was wadins about In the
water looking for victim Il monster
iish rushed by and Mr.. Stroelle hurled
his spear and missed. The water was
not very deep. and Mr.. Stroehle
seized the fish by the tail and held on.
Just then u small boy with pitch
fork came splashlng through the water
and set up claim TO the fish. Said
he: II been chasin' that blamed fish
all afternoon and had him run down
when you ketched him. You couldn't
never IA done 1t IL he'd been fresh"
The violent and successful seizure OF
that fish by the tail is as technical a
violation of the law as il Mr.. Str0ehle
had used dynamite. for, according to
the statutes. fish may be taken only
with "a hook and line." .Stroehle was
provided with none Of these lawful
means of catching fish.
The same day Deputy Sheriff Wayne
Davis was fishing at the same place.
He had hook and line. and 1t was
very nice and expensive line. too nice
10 be spoiled by exposure to wet wealth
er. Mr.. Davis also had a pi,chfork.
with which he jabbed Mt fish, with
the result that the tines of the fork
straddled him and held him down
against the sand until Mr.. Davis could
insert his fingers in the gills and ex-
tract him from the water. Though
the fish was not actually punctured by
the fork, still here was violation OF
the law. for the hook and line had
played no part In the capture. If Mr..
Davis. after catching the fish. had In
serted the hook In his mouth, the form
of tile statute would have been COM
piled with.
Soon after that Mr.. Davis caught an
other fish by the simple process OF fall
ing on him. The law is silent regard
ing this method of catching fish. out
the act might be brought under the
head Of cruelty to animals. The dep

 G& Y gle for existence among an- Sl,VV imals and primitive man
 NAD consisted almost entirely
 in getting sufficient nour- ishment, and in avoiding enemies. In the civilized world to-day. we some times forget the extreme importance of this elementary biological fact. The questions of how to get food. of the most economical sort of food, of the food that gives the greatest nourish- ment, and of the best ways to prepare this food for eating, occupy uncon- Bciously, large part of the life of the men and women of to-day. For the poor, it is matter of getting sufficient food, and for the rich it is often a mat ter of getting food that will digest. Both classes are confronted with the problem of obtaining sufficient nourish- ment; one class has not enough money to get the actual food they need, the other cannot find the food that will di- gest. With both classes it is prob lem of partial starvation.
 Until recently, science has paid little attention to this question of food. The whole thing has been more or less a matter of guess work and tradition. We once labored under the supersti- tion that tomatoes caused cancers, fruit
