RAILROAD WRECKERS.
Life is Far More Strenuous Than Fire
Fighters. Many Privations.

The career of the Wrecker on big
railroad is like that of a fireman in
the fire department of big city, only
more strenuous. Like the fireman, the
wrecker is on duty every second day
and night, and. like the fireman, the
wrccker braves billiards. and sleet
storms, often facing hardshps and
cruel suffering and even death for
the saving of life and property. But
whereas even in emergency the fire.

the most populous section of a city
the line traVerSed by the wrccker COW
ers a hundred or more miles-and
wher caS the fireman is in touch with at
least such comforts as he may snatch
while on his feet, not infrequently the
wrecker is landed in the heart of a
wilderness miles and miles from the
nearest town. and the pangs of hunger
are added to privation.
sometimes when d big wreck has
happened and cars and engines are
piled high on crushed and mansled
bodies the wrecker is rushed through
darkness and snowdrift to work from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours with
out even chance to take his cap off.
and just as his job is nearly complete
ed along comes another alarm that
sends him sixty or seventy miles in an
opposite direction, where box cars and
coal cars have heaped themselves thir-
ty feet high, paralyZing the road and
costing: thousands of dollars worth of
loss in time and prestige almost every
hour.
Despite these hardships, the danger,
the excitement and the hustle of the
work endear it to the men.--A w

On the corner of the Rue BaiZac and

sc described as house within a house

Around this historic house the Roth
schlds have really built another and
have. moreover made gardens such as
are seen in no other city save Paris.
All are surrounded by a very high
wall. which completely shuts off the
view.
In this house are collected the price

Jewels, plate. art treasures of all kinds.
And they are so arranged that by
touching a spring they vanish as if by
magic. ii
The rooms are lined with false walls,
which rotate on pivots in such way
that they close up and leave no trace
whatever of any method of movement.
The machinery is very elaborate and is
kept constantly in order.
Only twice has Baron Rothschild Civ
IN an exhibition of the working of
these wonderful walls to his astonished
guests. All is so arranged that at a
given signal the machinery is put in
motion, and treasures worth billions
are shut up within walls which APP
parently are an immovable part Of
the house.
Even more remarkable, the family
also can be made to disappear, so that
the premises look as though they were
absolutely deserted. The idea is that
if a revolt broke out this house would
very likely be one of the first to be at
tackled. At this instant of danger the
machine would be sprung, and the
rioters should be considerable time
in possession before they could IND

The Poultry Show.

A poultry show. the like Of which
has not been seer before in this coun-
t, vas held by the Skowhegan Grange
Tuesday evening and "Wednesday
The lower floor of the Grange hall was
devoted to the exhibit of fine poultry
and the room was full of cages of
handsome fowl. The first exhibits H.
greet the eye of the spectator were
some of the Silver Laced Wyandotte~
both fowl and chicks owned by
Charles Cleveland who lives on Madi-
son avenue. They were beauties. Mi.
Cleveland has made quite Il reputation
in the poultry business and his sue
cess with the Silver Laced Wyandcttes
has won him many prizes at the fairs
Mr.. Cleveland was graduated from
the University jof Maine and in his
course of study made speciality of
poultry raising.
Roland Kilkenny had a fine exhibit
of Black Minorca. He finds that these
hens produce fine eggs and they have
a good average.
Fred O. Eaton who lives on Main
street makes a speciality of Rhode Is
land Reds and his success in raising
this breed is pronounced. He made
one of the best showings at the Wa
terville Fair. He exhibited at the
Grange fair a number of fowl and
chicks.
o. d. Wells. perhaps the most exten-
sive poultry raiser in this part of the
county had a fine exhibit of Rhode Is
land Reds. Mr.. Wells finds also that
the Plymouth Rock hens make fine
average in laying.
Perhaps one of ideal poultry raisers
in Skowhegan who showed some fine
specimens of the Buff Wyandottes is
Walter Adams. Mr.. Adams makes
pets of his hens as well as profit. He
has them trained so he can pick them
UP at any time he chooses and if he
tells them to crow or cackle they re-
spond.
The best exhibit of Brahma hens was
owned by 3. c. Taylor. They were i'm
ported from Canada and they attract
ed the eyes of all. f. c. Taylor had
the second largest exhibit in the hall
He makes speciality of White Wyan-
dottes.
r. F. Parker and Louis Whitney
showed some good Plymouth Rock
fowls.
The largest exhibit in the hall was
by Frank B. league who exhibited
Plymouth Rocks and Pekin Ducks.
