The Great N0rthern'S Latest Monster In Loco
motives Attracted Much Notice at the
Local Yards Last Monday.

Last Monday hundreds of people
were attracted to the Willmar yards
by the appearance of engines Nos.
1905 and 1906, which were being
taken west to the mountain grades,
where they are to be operated.
With the tender, the total length
was said to be "a feet, or about
twenty feet longer than the turnta-
BILE at the Willmar roundhouse.
The weight is $50 tons. No. 1905
came thru about the time of the af-
ternoon trains and stopped outside
the freight depot for some time.
1t drew a big crowd. Photographer
Simons was on hand and secured a
couple Of negatives, altho the curl
Gus crowd obstructed the view of
the wheels and driving parts. No.
1906 came thru here about seven
o'clock.
In it's issue of April 20, the Scien-
tifc American had this to say of
these engines:

During the late exposition at
St. Louis there was exhibited in the
transportation building a Mallet
articulated locomotive built for the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which
was the most powerful built in any
country up to that date. During the
past two years this locomotive has
been doing excellent work on the
mountain division of the Baltimore
& Ohio, where it has not only
proved equal to the heavy duty for
which it was designed, but has been
hauling exceptionally heavy trains
on a moderate cost for fuel and re-
pairs. The weight of the engine
alone is 1884, 500 pounds, and it's
tractive effort, working as COM
pound, is 1900 pounds, and work.
ing as simple engine, $4,000
pounds.
1.-The Baltimore & Ohio locomo-
tive has now been exceeded some
what in weight and power by an
other design Of Mallet freight loco
motive, which has been built and
delivered by the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works to the Great Northern
railway. This engine, which is

vertical axis. Of the. saddle, and
passes to a pair of low pressure
cylinders, 80 inches in diameter by
80 inch stroke, which are located at
the front end of the radial truck
which carries the weight of the
forward half of the boiler. From
the low-pressure cylinders the
steam exhausts to the smokestack
thru a jointed flexible exhaust pipe.
1t will be seen that this method of
construction provides an engine
which, in spite of it's great length
of 81 feet u inches, is very flexible,
a quality that is rendered neces-
sary by the fact that 1O-degree
curves are not uncommon on the
division where these locomotives
will operate. To supply sufficient
steam for such powerful engines
calls for an exceptionally large
boiler. 1t is Of the Belpaire type
and is Z feet in diameter. A tall
man could walk thru it with foot
of clearance. There are 225 square
feet, of heating surface in the fire.
box and 78 square feet of CRATE
area. The total heating surface is
1858 square feet. Working as a
compound engine, this locomotive
can exert a pull at the drawbar of
II, 900 pounds, and working as a
simple engine by the admission of
live steam to the low-pressure cy-
finders, it can exert the enormous
pull Of 81 200 pounds

BENSON MAN CAPTURES
PELICAN and GETS MARKED

Hans Strand caused quite an ex-
element Tuesday forenoon by
bringing in a large pelican that he
had caught two days before at
Scandinavian lake, which weighed
sixteen pounds and measured nine
feet from tip to tip. 1t was one of
fifteen which flew into the, lake.
Just how he caught it we do not
know, as he does not say, but he
had it just the same. With its
large white body and big red bill it
was an object of curiosity to all.
While Hans was having it's picture
taken at Brandmo's gallery the bird
tried to get even. In placing it in
position for the camera he stopped
too near and the first thing he knew
the captive had his face between
its red jaws and in jerking free he
received a deep three-inch scratch
on each cheek, a quarter Of an inch
wide and clear thru the skin. Ben.

one of five now in course of tdeilv-
cry, weighs 20, 500 pounds more
than the Baltimore & Ohio engine.
It differs from it's prototype main
ly in the fact that, instead of the
whole of the weight being on the
twelve drivers, it is provided with
a pony truck at the front and a
trailer at the rear below the cab.
Consequently, altho the engine is
heavier, the weight on. the drivers
is less by 1880 pounds. The
steam pressure also is less, being
200 pounds to the square inch as
against 230 pounds the earlier en-
CINE; but the total heating surface
also is slightly greater, as is also
the cylinder capacity.
1.-The Mallet type has for it's dis
tinguishing feature two separate en-
gines, each operating it's own set
of drivers. In the present case the
high pressure cylinders, which are
2l.5 inches in diameter by 80 inches
stroke, are carried upon the main
frame of the engine at about mid
length of the boiler, with which the
frame is rigidly connected thru the
saddle and at other bearing points.
The six coupled driving wheels are
IS inches in diameter. Steam is
admitted to the cylinders thru out
side steam pipes leading down on
the outside of the boiler from the
steam dome. The exhaust passes
thru a flexible joint placed at the

Dr.. johnson and Books,

DIR. Johnson had the greatest con.
tempt for any book which was not
philosophy or pure literature. Once
when he was visiting Samuel Foote he
began running over his books, opening
the books 80 wide as almost to break
their backs, and then flung them down
one by one on the floor with contempt.
"Zounds" said Foote, who was in
torture all, the time. "Why, what are
you about there? You'll spoil all my
books!' mo, SIR" cried Johnson, II

silly plays in fops' dresses just as they

A Conundrum.
[Original.]

[Original.1
A gentleman midway between birth
and threescore years and ten sat with
girl of eighteen. He was Still young
enough to be considered a companion
for young lady, though within few
years of the time when in calling upon
one Of them she would probably ask if
he was looking for her father or moth
er. In this case the two had been
friends for years. When the girl was a
child and he in the twenties, she had
been accustomed to climb into his lap
and hug him. She had got over that.
They were sitting in the library of the
girls residence, she ON divan, he in
an easy chair. The windows and doors
were open. and breeze blowing over
the garden brought in a delicious per-
fume Of flowers. The man was speak
ing:
"You don't remember your mother,
do you?"
mo. You know she died when I was
five. But it seems to me I know her
from her letters, many of which have
found and have read over and over
again."
Have you come among her papers
upon copy Of contract she made
with me some fifteen or sixteen years
ago."
"No. What contract?"
1T was between your mother and

"Oh," with slight toss of her head,
Il beg your pardon"
'Some day may show it to you, but
that will depend upon circumstances"
"Indeedw
A few weeks later the two were to-
gether in the garden.
'You remember, suppose" said the
man, "the contract made years ago be-
tween me and your mother that told
you about"
And refused to say what it was"
"There are conditions under which I
may crafty your curiosity"
"Such as''-
"Well, If you marry, for instance"
"I'm sure my mother could not have
entered upon any business agreement
with you whereby you were to influ-
ence me to marry any particular per-
son."
"Certainly not. I would not think of
influencing you in such a matter"
''Then how can my marriage have
anything to do with itY''
"Your marriage with any particular
person doesn't pertain. l meant that
in case you were simply married
might show you the contract"
The girl pondered awhile, then said:
lis there any one I might marry who
would have an interest in this agree
ment?' =
If he could have looked into her eyes,
he would have seen cunning. Evident
~ there was something about the sub
ject Of their conversation that pro-
foundry interested her. He glanced at
her inquiringly, but her head was bent
over flower she was plucking.
There is one" he said, "who IL you
married him would have no interest In
the agreement" &.
"You speak in riddles %..5s=:
A smile lowered about her lips, but
she kept her back to him, picking a

Walter Scott as a Boy.

When Sir Walter Scott was only
eighteen months old, he was taken with
a severe fever, which affected his right
leg so that he was lame throughout his
whole life. At the age Of four favor
lite aunt took him to Bath in hope that
the waters there might lessen If not
entirely cure his lameness, but they did
not give him any relief. He lived at
Bath for several years, learning to read
at dame school, taking private les
sons Of an aunt and often attending the
theater with his uncle, Captain Robert
Scott. 1t IL told that one evening upon
seeing the play LAS You Like It,
young Scott became so excited during
the quarrel between Orlando and his
brother that he screamed out at the
top Of his voice. "Ain't they brothers?"
