Horses in Trousers.

In the hot sunshine a good many
horses wore sunbonnets.
Equine sunbonnets are very WELL"
said a veterinary, but what would
you say to equine trousers? You'll
see them in Guayaquil. There the
mosquitoes and greenhead flies are SO
thick that horses and donkeys, unless
their legs are cased in cloth, become
unmanageable in their pain.
"Guayaquil is In Ecuador. 1t is d.
rectly under the equator. The heat
there Is ~insufferable. And up and down
it's narrow and foul-smelling streets
pass, in blush clouds of buzzing in
sects, horses and donkeys in sunbon-
nets and pantaloons."

FOR FUTURE RAILROAD TIES
Experiments on Large Scale to De.
termine Which Wood Will Give
Most Satisfaction.

There are a vast number of seed.
lings planted for the purpose of ultl.
mately being made into railroad ties
that have been tried for the pur.
pose to which it Is intended to put
these trees when they reach maturity,
but which might prove even superior
for that purpose to the trees that have
already been selected. These seed
lings are being grown for the purpose
of providing railroads with a variety
of trees SO that experiments can be
made in the future to determine which
particular tree is actually the best for
furnishing the all important rail on the
company's way.
1t will be 40 years or so before the
trees that now are in a Seeding state
will have attained a growth sufficient
to justify the forestry department in
cutting them down for railroad ties.
The plan is to nurse the seedlings
along at the forestry reservation until
they are sufficiently big to permit
transportation. They will then be
taken up and replanted in some of the
many vacant lands owned by the rail.
roads.
The seedlings will be planted six
feet apart and will then have to take
their chance Of surviving. The foster.
ing care of the forester can not follow
them further. AS they will be plant.
ed on ground belonging to the railroad
on which no one will have a right to

FORTY YEARS ON LOCOMOTIVE
Lloyd Clarke, Recently Dead, Had
Record Any RaiIroader Might
Be Proud Of.

Lloyd Clarke, SO years old, p Pres
ident's engineer" for years a member
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers, died in the Memorial hospital
at Long Branch. N. j., Of kidney dis.
ease after a long illness. A trip to
Europe last summer failed to restore
his health. He entered the railroad
service at nine years of age as a
water boy on the Erie, and lost his
hearing at 10 while a fireman IN the
Pacific railroad in a cloudburst in the
Sierras. About this time he met
Thomas A. Edison, then a railroad
telegrapheT, and also deaf, and they
shared the same blanket on at least
n occasion.
Before he attained his majority
Clarke was promoted to a locomotive
runner through an oversight of the
general superintendent after he had
been fireman on the first double-head-
er that ever crossed the Rockies. One
of his first assignments as an engineer
was to carry the Boston board Of
trade over the Truckee division in a
l. iLld SpSCldl. ne uldu0 a lTl6uu
also of Coils p. Huntington, president
of the road, who on many occasions
shared his footboard. When hired as
an engineer by John Taylor Johnson,
late president of the Jersey Central
railroad, over many older hands, he
ran the first train from Lcng Branch
to New York, with President Grant on
board, June %, 1875. In later life he
was sent out on new engines desig-
mated for speed to show to those who
came after him the possibilities of
each machine.
But it was not in speed that En-.
gineer Clarke took most pride, but in
his mastery of the Westinghouse air
brake. During his last days it was
computed that he had been a passen-
ger engineer 40 years, had run more
than 100000 miles over the open
road and had never killed a passenger.
He only had n wreck, a collision at
Sea Grit in 1903. There were few pas
sengers on the train. Clarke saved
himself by jumping at the last mo-
ment, but received a seal on the head
from flying wreckage. Investigation
showed that he was not to blame.

THE SENATE AND WOMAN.
Upper House Set Against Giving Her
the Ballot.

This is true talk. Some days ago
I made a pact with the ladies of this
land of liberty to search out senate
sentiment touching woman and tho
ballot. I did my best. Also in the
more important particular to which
my hunting was addressed, | failed.
1t was part of my plan, the part of
consequence, indeed, to identify to
woman what statesmen of our upper
house were most ob~durately set
against granting her the ballot, and all
to the end that she might surely know
where and how to plant the javelins,
or rather hatpins, of her argument to
secure a best result.
1t was in that element Of identified
ton my efforts went ashore. Not n
of those togaed, hoary ~recreants,
while bold enough to voice an atti-
tude inimical to woman, owned what
honest courage vas needed to let me
use his name.
In one sense, perhaps, this skulking
timidity might be regarded as a CON-
pliment. Certainly 1t spoke for the In
trepid d~eath-dofying sort of lovely
woman, when men, grown old in strife
and who have stood up against the un-
blinking iron without %flinching, took
to the shivering woods at a first sug-
gestion to link their names with those
anti-woman suffrage views to which
they save expression.
In the sense general the majority,
almost the unanimous senate feeling,
is unfriendly to woman's cause" l
did not talk with all. In truth, | but
personally probed the souls Of ten.
But. taking the broader course, l went
to leeward of the senate, and what
scent of sentiment | gathered was one
of unbroken hostility to woman and
her rights. - Alfred Henry Lewis
