Secret Of WASHING Gloves.

1.-THE only trouble about these wash
gloves" said the lady, lis that they
dry, after washing. SO very stir and
boardlike."
The salesman wrapped the soft,
pale yellow gloves in tissue paper.
That. is easily remedied," he said.
"IIl tell you how to wash the gloves
30 that they will dry soft and pliable,
the same as new. After you have
rinsed them quite clean, dip them in a
final bath Of fresh water and rub
plenty Of soap into them. drying them
without rinsing this last soap out. The
soap left in the gloves makes them
wonderfully soft-they don't need,
after drying, to be rubbed soft with
ten or fifteen minutes hard labor. This
soap secret being used, wash gloves
are quite perfect. 1t Is no wonder
they are completely supersededing the
expensive kid glove. for they are half
as cheap again and their washing is
20 easy-do them at bedtime, toss
them on the radiator, and in the morn
ing they are ready to put on.

To Treat Ties with creosote.

To prolong the life of cross ties,
and thereby minimize the consumption
of timber, the Pennsylvania railroad
has determined in future to treat with
creosote ties which shall be used in
its main tracks. The company two
years ago undertook tree planting upon
a large scale. Since that time it has
set out 2,425,OO0 trees and has handled
this year $685. OO. Extensive planting
Of trees and shrubbery for ties, lum.
Der and ornamental purposes is being
made on land owned by the company
in various parts Of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. In order to provide still
more completely against the future, a
contract has just been placed for the
construction Of a tie treating plant at
Mount Union, Pa. and, in addition, for
two large creosote storage tanks at
Greenwich Point. Philadelphia.

An extraordinary railroad accident
occurred recently in Siam, on the
Royal State railway between Ban
Phaji and Bangkok. Late mi evening
while rounding a slight curve, a heavy
goods train, drawn by two engines.

which had strayed onto the track. The
force Of the impact was terrific, and
both the engines were overthrow.

bankment and the second capsizing
and falling across the line. Two men
were killed and several injured, the
brakeman was smashed into a shape
less mass, and 13 trucks were derailed
and six t%elescoped. The elephant was
killed and its body hurled 60 feet
from the track. This is the second ac-
cident Of the kind that has occurred
this year in Siam, an elephant having
been killed last February near Lap

age to the train.-The Bellman.

Fatally INJURED in Cab,

A dying mans hand guided the
crowded east bound Great Northern
passenger train as it sped On it's way
from Robbinsdale to Clear Water
Junction, says a dispatch from Mime
apolis.
The dying man was George P. IT.
win, the engineer, who died a moment
after he was taken from the train in
Minneapolis and placed in a hospital
ambulance.
Irwin was found unconscious and
leaning out Of the cab window by his
fireman, George Ridgeway. Pulling
the limp form Of his companion back
into the cab, Ridgeway noticed the en-
ginner's skull was fractured. Holding
the engineer in one arm. he controlled
the engine with the other and took
the train into Clear Water Junction.
Irwin is supposed to have struck his
head against a bridge railing as the
train left Robinsdale.

FOR GOOD SERVICE
IDEA BACK OF RAILROADS. "WEL.
FARE WORK."
Immense Sums Expended by the Lines
Have Yielded Good Returns
Considerate Treatment Of
Employees Pays.

Railroad corporations are not the
soulless creatures they have some
times been made out to be. Back
Of the vast army of railroad men and
the tremendous visible property of the
companies are cool, keen brains that
do the planning and directing, but
there are also hearts that recognize
that the railroad worker in the ranks
is a man, human like themselves, and
must be treated accordingly if there
is 10 be that necessary cooperation
between company and men that makes
for the good Of the service. OF course
that is the chief desideratum-the
good OF the SERVICE" which means the
comfort and safety of the travelling
public, dividends for the stockholders,
more business for the road-in other
words, the general success of the com
pany. Hence there has been taken
up by the railroads in recent years
what is known in industrial lines as
welfare work
Welfare work may be defined as con-
s1sting of those efforts of the employ
err in behalf of the employee over and
o the mere payment of wages,
toward the betterment Of conditions
under which the employee lives and
works, making him more comfortable
and content, and raising his standard
Of living generally.
While the railroads have undoubt-
eddy entered into this work with hui
manitarian spirit, recognizing a duty
IN taking proper care Of the thou
sands of men that they draw from the
cities, the villages and the farms,
who are deprived for extended periods
OF their home influences, the COM
panies do not pretend that their mo-
tives in this work is purely philan-
thropic. They frankly confess that the
considerate treatment Of their en-
ployes is good business. The generous
sums annually spent in this way have
proved an investment bringing large
returns; the expense is rightly
charged to betterment and safety ap-
pliaHces.
With the steady improvement in
equipment, the increase of
traffic, and the constant demand from
the public for a highly efficient serv-
ice, ~railroading has become much
more exacting in its requirements
from those who engage in it. The
business more than ever demands a
clear head, steady nerves, and strong
muscles. When any of these are
lacking, there is apt to be a slipup in
the schedule signal is misresd, or
one or another of the hundred and one
rules and precautions neglected.
something unpleasant happens, and,
well-modern railroad equipment is
expensive, human lives must be paid
for, and the reputation of the road
must be ~safeguarded. Wherefore, the
cheerful investment by the companies
in the welfare of those who man the
trains, the shops, and the stations, or
do the other work of the railroad

Few Deaths on Railroads.

The excellence of the Irish railway
of safety is shown by a return which
has just been issued giving the num-
Der of deaths and other accidents on
the railways of the united kingdom
for the three months ended June 80
last. There were 22O persons killed
and LAO injured during this period
in the three kingdoms, and it is graft
flying to note that not one of the fatal
accidents occurred on the Irish rail
ways and only five persons were in
jured. These five were all railway
employees SO that not a single railway
passenger was killed or injured in
Ireland during the three months.

A 25O-h. p. %oil-burning steam motor
car was recently completed for the

In test runs the car has made a
speed Of 60 miles an hour. The pow
ef unit looks curious, but this, of
course, is because it is not in posi-
ton within the car. In the design
of the boiler the problem of providing
the required amount of heating sur
face within the necessarily limited
space available has been very salts
factorily solved.
The fuel oil is carried in y 1OO-gal.

water supply is carried in three tanks,
having a total capacity of 1000 gal,
suspended beneath the car midway be-
tween the trucks.

viii Grow Their Own Ties,

The growing scarcity of timber suit
able for ties, with a resultant increase
in their cost, has led II roads to start
forests. Ten roads in the east have
already planted in their respective for
est sites thousands Of catalpa, black
locust, red oak, pin oak and chestnut.
One road has selected the eucalyptus
because of its rapid growth and adapt
ability to the climate Of California,
New Mexico and Texas.

SECRETARY TAFT CONTEM-
PLATES TRIP TO PANANA.

Secretary Taft did not deny today that
he contemplates going to Panama next
month to look into affairs there. His
intentions now are to do SO. and no
change will he made unless circumstances
arise that he cannot fOresee. The Sec
retary is making comparatively few en-
gagements for speeches. and his talk
campaign may be considered as practi-
cally over. The engagements he has
been filing in the last month were made
a long time ago, but lately he has been
refusing invitations to speak.
II he goes to the isthmus 1t will be to
see for himself the program and con-
dition of work on the canal. 1t has been
mus at this time the Secretary might be
able to investigate the boundary dispute
between the governments of Panama and
Colombia.
Secretary Taft and his intimate friends
decline to discuss the matter at this time,
beyond the statement that. although the
Panama trip is under consideration, It Ia
quarters II is freely asserted that there
Is really no business on the isthmus re-
quiring Secretary Taft's presence at this
time. but that the trip Is projected 30 that
the Secretary may get out OF the way and
escape the opportunities Of politicians
pending the result Of the republican con-
vention at Chicago.
II that is the real plan Of the managers
of Secretary Taft's campaign n IL likely
that he will start on the trip early in
May and govern his movements In the
West Indies and the Caribbean sea SO
as to return to the United States when
his presence may be properly demanded.

HOLD-UP PLOT FAILS.

Of Butte on the line of the Northern Pa
cific. Rudolph Wenk, Paul FIlenius and
Albert Teasdale have been arrested for

Wenk and Filenius, who are Germans.
admit having participated in the tagging
Of the train. claiming. however. to have
been forced to act by two armed and
masked desperadoes. who, when the train
had come to halt, lost their courage and
made a quick getaway. Filenius and
Wenk walked to Welch's spur station,
where they arrived and told of the affair.
Wenk and Filenius declared that the ban
dts had fifty sticks of dynamite with
them and that 1t was planned by the
masked desperadoes to blow up portion
of the train to secure the money sup
posed to be aboard. A stick Of dynamite
was found on the top of q low bluff be-
side the cut in which the train was
stopped.
What was supposed to have been the
report of torpedoes thought to have been
placed on the track were reports Of shots
fred at the engineer by the two bandits,
according to the two Germans.
