VETERAN ENGINEERS STORY.

In no line of human endeavor has
there been more progress in the past
sixty years than In that of railroad
Ing, and there Is living just outside the
city limits of Toledo a man who has
watched the evolution of the steam
roads from their earliest beginning In
the Middle West until the present
time.
Moses r. Mason, hale and hearty,
living on Bancroft street, about two
miles west of Ottawa park, is the man
who has seen the railroads grow from
the pioneer lines of the 3O's to the
marvellous commercial arteries of to-
day.
Il was one of the first men to pull
an engine into Toledo" said Mr.. Ma
son at his home the other day. "When
1 began %railroading in 1885," he con-
tinued, "no one could have foreseen the

places where she knew Jim had been on
previous occasions.
"Then that1l be alright" he said.
"Of course. Good night. Go down
stairs quietly, please"
There was a chorus OF ~good-nights,
then the sound of hObnailed shoes
dumping down the stairs, and voices
retreating down the garden.
She did not rise from her bending
position, anG resumed her hummIng.
There was the sound Of breathing out
side the door. and she knew all her WIS.,
ltors had not gone.
"You there, Cissie?" she called softly.
Light footsteps went downstairs, and
then came the sound of bitter sobbing
Mary could have wept for her, but all
her thoughts were of Jim. The sobbing
one went down the path, and not till
then did she lift the mattress eau
tiously. |
Jim drew a long breath, and in his
eyes was the look of a man who has
had a race with death.
"A near squeak" he said hoarsely.

For the first time for years, he bent
and kissed her. 1t was the Jim Of their
counting days back again. Then he van
ished into the darkness, and she went
inside and sank on her knees. One kind
word and a kiss had wiped out those
bitter seven years. One agonized prayer
after another she sent up for his safety,
and when the sun shone again, she was
still on her knees.-Phila delphia Tele-

went to see the great invention. Most
of the people regarded the steam en-
CINE as a toy, much as we now look
upon the arship. They said it was
the dream Of a hair-brained inventor
and could never be made practical.
The struggles and tribulations which
the builders of the Erie & Kalamazoo
road went through probably has no
equal in a like enterprise In this coun-
try. When the company asked the
state for a charter the announcement
was received with ridicule. The COM

1886 the road was opened to Adrian.
It was the intention when the line was
projected not to iron the track, but to

GLOVE LIFE Is STRONGER"

When the question box filled with
letters written by members Of the New
York Wellesley Club was opened by
Mrs. Luther H. Gulick at a meeting In
the Woman's University Club the other
afternoon, says the New York Press,
$50 answers were found to the ques-
tons: what has college life done for
women? What can college life do for

The questions had been sent out sew

Mrs. Flower read W to ques-
tons on the effect college life had on
the emotions, with regard to feeling
more wildly. Nineteen said college life
had had stronger effect; five felt less
wildly and seven were unchanged.
Enthusiasm was another subject for
self-analysis. Eleven were more enthu-
%siastic; eleven were more persistent -
ten were happier four less happy, and
a small per cent was less enthusiastic

The audience got another shock when
Mrs. Stafford said the general feeling
seemed to be that the girls had not been
taught manners, either by instruction
or example.
All the answers did not come from
students. President Taylor Of vassar,
Dean Gill Of Barnard, Miss Hazard OF

Mary sank back into a chair, trem-

was he now? He had often been out
at night before, but had never failed
to come back for an early breakfast.
She forgot her previous misery In this
new dread.

wondering how she could put them of
the scent when they came.

Railroads. Effort to Substitute Catal-
pa Ties for Oak Didn't Work.
An experiment. in tree culture by
which it was hoped to supplant white
oak as the standard tree for railroad
ties with another had been tried and
found wanting by the Rio Grande and
Western Railroad, a y the New York
Times. Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah.
chairman of the forestry division of
the Committee on National Resources,
which was appointed last June by
President Roosevelt, told Of this cx-
pertinent a few days ago, Just after
getting back from a trip through Ger
many, France and Switzerland, where
he studied the forestry methods In
those countries, with an idea Of adapt
ing some of them to conditions here.
THAT experiment. Of the Rio Grandc
and Western was with catalpa trees"
said Senator Smoot. at was begun
several years ago. At that time there
was fear that: the white oak trees,
which furnished most Of ties for the
railroads Of the United States, would
soon be exterminated. The price Of ties
had gone up. Great forests Of white
oak throughout the country had been
slaughtered and the railroads found IL
hard to get good ties. The white oak
Is far from a rapid grower, and It
would take years for the oak forests
to grow up ng,'1 to Il size large enough
to make railroad ties.
cat that time there was some talk
of the catalpa tree being a good substi-
tute for the white oak. It was a much
softer wood, but had been tried in a
small way for ties BY some Of the rail-
roads. So the Rio Grande and West
ern decided to plant a large double
avenue OF catalpas along Its lines Of
track through Utah.
1T took a large force Of men many
weeks to plant the trees, but the rail-
road made a mistake by not protecting
them from cattle and rodents. The re-
suit was that what might have been one

And SO she hunted out a selection Of

But the day crept by and he did not
