cab accommodation passenger train.
He started to coal his engine In the
yards when q curve threw him
against lump of coal which had

foot was thrown against the coal,an
he lost his balance. The ankle turn
ed and wilkins felt a sharp pain. He
continued his work although he

Men who faced the bitter opposition
which assailcd the early users of the
bicycle might have believed that they
were especially ill-used, and that the
popular telling against that particular in
noNa'loit was exceptional t'ut as IL
matter of TACT this dislike of the new as
such mas always characterized mankind

spirit mat once sought to discriminate by
legislation against the wheel Is finding to
DAY other things to condemn, foremost
among them, of course. being the auto

The reluctance of MAN to leave I'll. ia
lnliliif ana to adopt the new was being
commented upon the other day when our
venerable fellow citizen, John NJ. Todd,
was reminded by the subject under dis
cuSslcn OF certain relevant matters in his
youth. His grandfather was for Il long
time opposed to putting doors to his barn,
as Il departure from the custom Of his
fore!athers, who always left their barns
open 10 the south. He contended that to
shut up the cattle in that way would
threitcn their death by suffocaticn, and
for 4 long time alter he had been induced
TO put up the doors. he wls in the habit
of getting up in the dead of night and go
ing o the barn, confident that lie would
find the animals dead from lack of air.
Another innovation which was looked up
on with great apprehension was the cook
stove, which was introduced in Brunswick
not earlier than 81 or -. Predictions
were freely made that the first family to
use it were taking dreadful risks, and
their doom was regarded as sealed when
the iircboard was placed in position at the
mouth Of the chimney. the pipe hivinS
been previously pointed up the yawning
throat OF it. The first man in town to
own and operate the stove was one Joe
