Just as men struggle over oil, or iron, or coal, So they struggle to get hold of children to make money out of them. The annual report from the Southern cotton mills tells us that 6O,oO0 children under If years of age out of 100000 textile work CTS are In the mills. More appalling still Is the story of child labor in the glass industry.

After she had taken the fat and pla- .id 6-month-old youngster and herself back to her own people In sheer des- oeration the maledictions which her relatives poured out on Ted Bingle en- couraged her to the point of seeking a divorce. The current of bitterness in Lessie's own heart had only required accelerating. If Ted had been consis- tently brutal toward her she could have hated him with better grace, but she could not forget the brief intervals when he could stay at home, laughing and careless and attractive as ever, with the few dollars he had earned trapping up the river or working by the day.

Everybody in Three Pines said It was good thing when at the close of the spring term of court Jessie Bingle got a divorce from Ted Bingle.
 People said they were surprised that she showed enough sense to take back her maiden name. For ever since she had run away at the age of 16 with Ted Bingle, who was not so very much older, and married him with future assured by nothing further than Ted's contagious laugh and ability to see joke. Jessie had been regarded by the populace as beyond hope. They did not relent even when all their prophecies of woe to follow were fulfilled. They said they did not see what else she could have expected and It was only a proper judgment upon her. To some people 1t is one of the chief joys of life 10 witness retribu- ton descending where they think 1t is most needed.

The four years of her married life had gone steadily from bad to worse ana at last even the two-room cottage, with the leaky roof and broken window panes, was no longer possible, because the cold weather was coming on and there was no fuel, even If there had been a decent stove in which to burn it The lack of proper food she was used to-oDe can get used to many things ln four years-but the cold was differ ant, especially as she had the baby to onsider.

Portable Blacksmith Shop.

A portable blacksmith shop has
been found very convenient and eco
nomical in the maintenance of way de-
partment of the Missouri Pacific rail-
way. It consists of two box cars, one
for sleeping accommodations of the
blacksmith and his helper, and the
other for his shop. All necessary
tools and duplicate parts are carried
for repairing switches, frogs, hand
cars, switch stands and similar rail-
road appurtenances. Frogs are taken
from the track, repaired and replaced
where traffic is light, by protecting
the point by flags, and where traffic
is heavy duplicate frog is put in. The
portable shop saves shipping the tools
and equipment needing repairs, thus
reducing cost and avoiding delay. 1t
has been found that one day is suf-
ficient for cleaning up the repairs on
an ordinary section.-Railrcad Gazette.

A Chanel Car.

Utica recently had a visit from a
novel railroad coach-the chapel car
st. Anthony of the Catholic Church
Extension society, says the New York
Tribune. The greater part of the
coach is devoted to chapel in which
about 100 can be seated. The chapel
has an altar and candlesticks, which
are securely fastened so as not to be
shaken by the running of the train.
In the rear of the chapel is a library
with literature for distribution, and
two rooms equipped with upper and
lower berths for the two chaplains.
Beyond these rooms is lavatory, the
Office of the secretary and a kitchen
equipped with range and the neces-
sary utensils. The regular staff con-
sists of the secretary, two chaplains
and porter who prepares the meals.

By ELECTRIC POWER
u
TRAINS ARE 70 De HAULED OVER
MOUNTAIN RANGES.
Water Courses Will Furnish Elec.
tricity for the Purpose-Means I'm.
mense Saving In Expense Of
Running the Roads.

It will not be long before all the
trains on the great Hartman system
of railroads will be hauled over three
mountain ranges by electrical power.
The fact was disclosed by Mr.. Har-
riman that he had had expert engin-
GERS in the mountains for more than
year, surveying the water courses and
the sources Of supply for water power
with a view to impounding it for the
production of electricity. 1t is his
purpose to electrify, as soon as posi-.
Union Pacific road, which runs over
the Rockies, the mountain division of
the Southern Pacific. which runs over
the Sierras, and the new mountain
division of the Shasta route, which
will run, like the present route, over
the Siskiyou mountains.
1t is understood that the engineers
reported favorably to the project.
Along the line of each road through
the mountains are reported to be
large number of streams capable of
developing sufficient water power to
run nearly everything on the map.
It is planned to use this power in a
similar manner as the water power Of
the Niagara river is used to generate
electricity at the falls.
The natural fall in the mountain
streams could be utilized to turn great
turbines, which would be used in gen.
Grating the electricity needed to op.
crate the trains over the mountains.
The cheapness of this installation,
be obtained, has, it is said, amazed
Mr.. Hartman.
The estimated cost of the improve.
ment is kept secret, but it is under.
stood to be over $4O,0O0,0OO. Careful
estimates have been made of the saw.
ing which would be occasioned by the
use of electricity in the mountain divi.
sions.
No information regarding this is at
hand, but it is said to be material
saving-much greater than large
per cent. on the cost of the improve.
ment. Beyond all this, however, is the
fact that electrical power, unlike
|
duplication in mountain railroading.
Its substitution would mean, for one
thing, that the capacity of the noun
tain lines would be more than doubled.
1t now takes two and three locomo.
tives to get short trains over some of
the grades, whereas single electrical
motor would be capable of hauling
a train much longer than the trains
which now use two engines.
The mountain division of railroad
operates somewhat like the neck of q
bottle. 1t is impossible to get more
trains or more tonnage over the road
than can be gotten over the noun
tains or through the neck Of this rail-
road bottle. Accordingly, when the
capacity of the neck is increased the
possibilities of the entire road for
handling traffic are correspondingly
increased. It is for this reason that
mountain divisions are so dreaded by
railroad operating men.
