Engineer Found That Locomotive Did
Its Best Work.

Locomotives are curious things"
said +. B, Brown at the st. Charles.
Sometimes you think they are aimosE
human. They certainly can be as irrf.
tating as any human being. Some,
years ago | was up III Minnesota and
one OF the short lines had only recent.
ly purchased half dozen new engines.
When they arrived they proved fat
failures. To make them steam and
draw anything like decent load was
impossible In consequence there were
a number of engineers who stood in
great danger of being broke through
no fault of their own. But the officials
had bought the engines and then put
1t up to the engineers to get the work
out OF them or get fired. That was the
situation when | arrived. A friend OF
mine was one of the engineers in uues-
ton He asked me to go with him
one trip as fireman, saying that If
we could make good with the engine
| was certain of a job as engineer if
wanted it. | agreed to go. Just be-
fore we started the master mechanic
served notice on my friend that his
position hinged on the work he could
get out of his engine that trip. We
got along well at the beginning of the
run and by careful feeding | was able
to keep steam up fairly we'll The en-
gineer's seat was not securely fastened
and somehow it broke down. The en-
gineer in catching himself gave
hard pull on the throttle until it was
wide open. When he tried to shut it
Off he found it had caught so it was
impossible to move it. We thought
we were up against it with the engine
being pounded along with the throttle
wide open while even by nursing be-
fore it had been hard to make steam
There was nothing to be done but let
things go until my friend could get the
throttle into working order. This
TOOK some time and all the while, to
our great surprise, the engine steamed
more easily than it did before. That
was all that was needed. lust TO he
pounded along wide open and there
was no trouble. When we reached
the end of the run there was a mes
sage from the superintendent compli-
menting him for the excellent time he
had made. 1t was found that the
other engines worked equally well
under similar conditions, and from
that time on there was no further
trouble about their hauling good loads
and making time. ."-Milwaukee Senti-

HeIped Out by Government

The Eastern Chinese railway has
been in serious financial trouble since
it's profitable southern part has been
under Japanese control. The part re-
naming under Russian influence has
practically no more freight business.
The road has therefore already sold to
the state 1000 freight cars, which are
now to be used in the grain traffic of
European Russia. The line will re-
ceive loan of 100000 rubles from
the government for the construction of
the Ussuri branch.

Famous Accidents.

A famous runaway disaster, that
near Barnsby, on the Manchester.
Sheffield & Lincolnshire railroad on
De""raber II, 1870, by which Il per-
sons lost their lives, was proved to
have been due to a broken coupling
pin; while the failure of the vacuum
brake through cold caused the wreck
OF runaway l.. & n. w. express near
Carlisle in March, 1880.
Probably, too, some such contre-
temps was the proXimate cause of the
appalling catastrophe-the worst re.
corded in railroad history-which han,
pened through a train running away
on the Morelos (Mexico) short line on
the night of June "a, 1881. The driver
was seen to be in difficulties at way
station, and an inspector jumped on
the engine which was then travelling
at a comparatively low rate of speed,
IN order to try and render assistance.
Almost Immediately afterwards the
locomotive was observed to--in the
words of an eye witness-"leap for
ward like thing of life few min
utes later it tore through Cuartla at so
miles an hour, and on to a trestle
bridge built on curve over the San
Antonio river which was in flood at
the time. The heavy train crashed
through the fiimsy structure as though
it had been of glass, and every living
soul aboard, to the number of more
than 200, perished.-London Tele-

old Erin, he wears the best imitation
he can find, and if he can get no
shamrock, real or counterfeit. he
wears a green necktie or a strip of
green in his coat lapel
II was not many years ago that the
more enthusiastic of the sons of Ire
land on the day whom they bedecked
themselves with green would decline
TO tolerate the sight of a yellow EN-
blem. Vendors of oranges and ba-
nanas did we'll to keep their carts off
the street Even a belief in the same
religion was not always sufficient to
save orange sellers; that fruit was en-
tirely too suggestive of the Orange
mems association.
In these days of increasing tolera-
tion there is less and less friction of
this sort. The custom of giving Saint
Patrick's day parades is gradually dy-
ing out in this country. Many years
ago the New York city council passed
an ordinance imposing a penalty on
anyone who abused an efIigy of Saint
Patrick, but no such law is now neces-
sary. Patriotic Irish societies observe
the day quietly, and there are services
in the Catholic churches. especially in
those editices named after the saint.
Even in Ireland there is less and less
of bitterness between the wearers Of
the green and the yellow, and the
crack of the shillalah is not so often
heard as formerly to the accompani-
ment of the strains Of st. Patrick's
Day in the Mornin'" The attitude of
Queen Victoria had much to do with
bringing about this change of feeling.
1t was the duchess Of Buckingham
and Chandos who in voicing her ma
Jestys sentiments, wrote these lines,
which on each recurring Saint Pat,
rick's day find warm response in the
hearts of the Irish soldiery:
We're the most upifted regiment,
Bedad were mortal kccn
tn" shamrock'S in our forage caps
By order OF the queen!
This song bears date 1900. for it was
in the last year of her reign that Vic
toria, just before her memorable visit
to Ireland, gave orders that her Irish
regiments were to wear the shamrock
in their headgear on Saint Patricks
day. That raised the national emblem
of the island officially to the heart
high position it had ever held in senti-
ment. 1t was a small and easy thing
TO do, but it made the tiny three-leaved
plant popular as it never was before.
In spite of all ingenious attempts to
discredit the beautiful story which
represents the patron saint OF the En-
erald Isle as using the shamrock for
an Illustration of the Holy Trinity. in
spite of the learned debates and aca.
demic differences of such scholars as
Bentham and Britten, Colgan and
Cook, your true Irishman the world
over will ever cling to the chosen leaf
which grows in the moss, the moor
and the mireland" of his old home,
and the public Endorsement of a queen
surely did not weaken that affection.

On St Patrick's day, with tender
heart and moist eye, we set before
ourselves the far form of Ireland, gar
landed with the deeds of the past, and
bedecked with the colors of bygone
days. The pages of Irisk history are
without doubt, familiar to all. The
brilliant lights and deep shadows, the
intense joys and keen sorrows. the
failures and triumphs whicn mark the
annals of Erin are an old and familiar
story.
Her very early history contains an
air of romance, and has, running
through it, a depth of color which in
vests it with peculiar charm. In its
primal days Druid worship held the
hearts Of its people and the cult OF

A tale that bates that out O mind. out

At Tara he preached to the king and
the chiefs
His Decalougues, Catalogues, Psalms
and beliefs.
Once the king says to Patrick, The
Druids all say
That you're settin the minds of me
Firbolgs astray.
How can one be in three, and be one
all the time?-
Come, laddy-buck, answer in prose OF
in rhyme"
That's aisy," says Patrick, this dear
little plant,

Yet the shamrock is one, three in one,

But the sorra a word could those
clargymin find:
So from then his respect for the
Druids declined.
Now, Patrick, me byes, you need
scarcely be tould.
Was funny an tricky, though holy an
bould.
So now of the Druids he'd got the
whip hand
Bethought him of blessings he'd show
er on the land.
To the king then saws he, For the
favors you've shown.
I'll put e'er back and new legs to
your throne.

Now the Druids held sarpints AS sa-

In England they larned that betune

The sods all as one as a sarpint's pro

II was fun
To watch the ould Druids when their

Wild faces of fury and hearts full OF

Then they danced holy jigs in the
scantiest of duds.
But the pigs took no notice, but ate all

And the Druids saw Fate was now
hard by the door.
Then they prayed to the giants that
ravaged the isle
When ten foot of spine was the height

There was one who from Mona oft

And one who in coughin' produced the

On the snakes and their eggs they
grew fatter and fatter.

The record for bathing his saintsbtp
had broken,
And thousands who'd never been lath-

GOLDFADEN
THEIR Poet

New York, Jan. 10-The great East
Side Ghetto paid striking tribute
today to the memory of its poet and
playwright, Abraham Goldfaden. A
tremendous outpouring of residents of
that crowded section to witness the
funeral of the beloved writer not only
testified to their admiration for the
man, but held UP all traffic in the
Bowary until the mounted police fore
ed a passageway through the vast
throng.
The funeral was held in the Peoples
theater, where some of Goldfaden's
plays had been given, and from the
platform of which he recently thank
ed the East Side people for their keen
interest in his work. The place was
crowded to the doors and the Bow
cry was thronged with people for a
block on each side of the theater.
