GOLF YARN BY
And a Kansas Story in Return by an
Enthusiast at the
Game.

Nicholas Longworth, OF Ohio, is a
golf enthusiast who plays a good game,
ana Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, a golf
enthusiast who plays a very indiffer-
emit game, when swapping stories in
the house ~cioakroom the other day
says the Washington correspondent OF
the Kansas City Times.
''The most remarkable golfer l ever
knew" said Representative Longworth,
was a man out in Cincinnati, who had
a passion for the game, but who com
rlicated that feryor with an appetite
for Scotch highballs that was the won
der OF Ohio.
His theory was that there should
be a drink serve on every tee, and
he worked it by means of an army OF
caddies. One afternoon he came in
and announced that he had renowned
the game.
Whats the matter, Jim?' said 6
friend.
"'Oh,' he said, YEARLY, It's no use
7 give 1t up. Whenever l can see thu
ball | can't hit 1t; and whenever
a hit it 1 can't see it,"
Mr.. Murdoch told this one:
"Out in my town Judge Dale, of tn,

on trial in which several small boy
had been subpoenaed as witnesses. AID

GUARDIAN OF THE TRACK.

Pat McAdoo was the boss of the gang
That worked on the section at Bates.
The work on the track caused him many o
pang,
For he dreaded the speed of the freights.
The rules Of the line were exceedingly
plain, d,
Providing safe limits Of speed,
But the rules were ignored again n again
Which made Patsy's heart fairly bleed.
The section of road under McAdoo's care
Was called by the trainmen' fast
Which signifies safety for trains to get
there
So the freight trains each gave it a
whack.
Poor Pat and his men were as busy as bees
Repairing and raising low joints
In summers warm weather and midwin-
ter's freeze
They looked for and fixed the weak
points.
The roadmaster once was inspecting Pats
track
When the Pink Palace Flyer flew by!
Its speed caused establishment: Turning
to Mac,
He asked: Does that peat the Shoe
Fly"
CThe pet of the line was the Shoe Fly Elk
press,
The finest train under the SUM.

with stress,
"'Tis the meat thrains we ought to see
r-run!"

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of a clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is we'll bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it Is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true of
clocks that have a pedulum.

DIETARY DTCTA.

Dinner should be of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart Of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel of cucumbers.
There is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as 10 pounds OF
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be uset
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatins

FIRST USE OF AIR BRAKE
Westinghouse "Kickshaw" on In
itial Trial Rendered Further
Talk Unnecessary.

Persons who should have known bet
ter thought Westinghouse visionary
when they were told that he proposed
to stop a train by air. Nobody seemed
inclined to let him try his plan on a
real train, but they did not object to
his working a model Of it in a shop
where he couldn't do any harm, o in
volve anybody else in expense, writes
Arthur Warren in Success Magazine.
He knew his scheme would work, but
he could not make anyone else believe
it. So he continued to sell his inven-
ton for replacing derailed cars on the
tracks, and to talk about his brake to
any railroad man who was willing to
listen.
We'll, have you ever stopped a
train with this air thing of yours?"
shey would ask.
No, he couldn't say that he had done
so. Nobody would let him try it even
on q train of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg,
selling his other invention and talking
about his brake notion to a man ccn
nected with a railroad out there.
That's a great idea Of yours" said
the man, we will try 1t on our line!"
So the officials OF this railroad per-
mitted Westinghouse to put his new
"kickshaw" on one of their trains.
But he had to agree to indemnify the
road for any damage that might be
caused to the train as the result Of
the trials! The train was equipped.
On the designated day the confident
inventor and a group of skeptical rail
way men boarded the train on which
the first air brakes were fixed. Of
went the train on its trial trip; the
engineer put on full speed, and just
as he had rounded a curve he saw
ahead, at a grade crossing, and In the
middle of the track, a loaded wagon, a
man and a boy, and a balky horse.
The engineer moved his little lever,
and the first train that vas ever
stopped by air pulled UP at a stand
still several feet short Of the obstruc-
ton.
Thus, on its first trial, the Westing-
house air brake saved life and pre-
vented damage to property. Thence
forward talking was unnecessary; all
that had to be done was to make
brakes. The inventor thought of that
clause securing compensation to the
railroad for any damage he might do
to the train, and he laughed. His for
tune dated from that day. He was
then only ~.

THE cADDY's COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Compliment
tary to a Professional
Player.

Walter J. Travis, the golfer, set up
his ball, and then made half a dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune.
Il am not in good FORM" he said, Il
am playing like a broker we had here
last week.
"This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him
self. OF this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
THE mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, a boy with a freckled
face quite devoid OF expression.
"And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took a fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope of getting a compliment:
~ have been travelling for the last
six months. I am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why | am in such bad
form to-day
"The caddy replied, calmly:
"'Ihen we've Played before, have
ye. sir?"

TAKE WATER ON THE RUN.
Engines Are Supplied On Long Trips
Without Losing a Moments
Time.

Now that 1t has become usual for
trains to run very long distances with
out a stop it has been found neces-
sary to provide some means by which
water may be taken on the way, says
the Great Western Railway Magazine.
When it is remembered that a fast
train may S from rs to so gallons
of water for every mile run, it will
be understood that the tender re-
quired to carry water for any con-
siderable distance must be very large.
The provision Of sufficient coal is,
fortunately, not such a serious matter
as, roughly speaking, about a pound
and a quarter is sufficient to boil a
gallon of water Weighing ten pounds.
Taking a trip of $50 miles, which is
approximately the distance from Lon
don to Plymouth, now run without in
termediate stop. the coal burned by
the engine would be nearly four tons.
On the other hand, the weight of wa
ter would be about 80 or 40 tons.
Apart from the impossibility of pro-
viding tenders large enough to &C.
commodate this quantity it would, of
course, be far from economical to haul
so much unnecessary dead weight.
The idea of water troughs was
originally introduced by Mr.. Rams
bottom, of the London & Northwest
ern railway. The principle is doubt
less familiar to all; the water lies at
rest in a long trough, and a scoop, at
tached to the tender of the engine and
having a sharp edge, cuts off, SO to
speak, the top layer of the water,
which is forced up the inclined pipe
and falls into the tank of the tender.
The advantages of the system are,
that the tenders may be of reason
able size and weight; that there is
no necessity to stop trains specially to
take water; and that the water can
be taken at points where it is cheap
and good, instead of taking whatever
can be obtained at stations Of suffi-
cient Importance to justify the train
stopping. Thus, s%upposing there is
an excellent supply at a distance OF
ten miles from an important town,
1t is now possible to stop at the town
without taking water and to pick UP
good water without stopping at the
point of supply.
The troughs are laid level, and the
rails are inclined at each end Of the
troughs. This enables the SCOOP
hinged on the tender to be lowered
some yards before actually commenc
ing to pick up. The decline in the
rails lowers the scoop into the water
as the tender runs down it. The
length of this decline is about G.
yards, and at the far end of the
troughs a corresponding incline lifts
the scoop out Of the water before the
end is reached. 1t is therefore i'm
possible, unless there are obstruction:
in the troughs or on the sleepers i'm
mediately preceding and following
them, for the scoop to hit anything
provided its height is properly ad
justed.

To Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got wei
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
II decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die. .
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although l
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice OF Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, ! raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is q strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
