"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in.

It will be 40 years or so before the
trees that now are in a Seeding state
will have attained 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.

The seedlings will be planted six
feet apart and will then have to take
their chance of surviving. The foster.

them further. AS they will be plant

FORTY YEARS on LOCOMOTIVE
Lloyd Clarke, Recently Dead, Had
Record Any Raiiroadsr Might
BE Proud OF.

Lloyd Clarke, 50 years old, ? "Pres.
idents 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 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 fireman on the
Pacific railroad in cloudburst in the
Sierras. About this time he met
Thomas A. Edison, then a railroad
telegrapher, and also deaf, and they
shared the same blanket on at least
one occasion.
Before he attained his majority
Clarke was promoted to 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
Pullman special. He made friend
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 25, 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 1t 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 passenger.
He only had one wreck, a collision at
Sea Girt in 1903. There were few pas
sengers on the train. Clarke saved
himself by jumping at the last mo.
ment, but received scar 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,

upper Rouse SET Against GiVin9 1ef
the Ballot.
This is true talk. Some days ago
I made 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, l failed.
1t was part Of my plan, the part Of
consequence, indeed, to identify to
woman what statesmen of our upper
house were most obdurately 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 best result.
It was in that element OF identifica-
tion my efforts went ashore. Not one
Of those togaed, hoary recreants.
while bold enough to voice an atti-
tude inimical to woman, owned what
honest courage was needed to let me
use his name
In one sense, perhaps, this skulking
timidity might be regarded as q COM
pliment. Certainly it spoke for the in
trepid death-defying 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 first sug-
gestion to link their names with those
anti-Woman suffrage views to which
they gave expression.
In the sense general the majority,
almost the unanimous senate feeling,
is unfriendly to woman's cause" I
did not talk with all. In truth, but
personally probed the souls Of ten.
But, taking the broader course. 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

Horses In Trousers.

In the hot sunshine good many
horses wore sunbonnets.
Equine sunbonnets are very WE'LL"
said q 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
its narrow and foul-smelling streets
pass, in blush clouds of buzzing in
sects, horses and donkeys in sunbon-
nets and pantaloons."

response. Obviously the voice Of q
servant was answering. ''Is Mr..
Grant inl" Basil asked, trying to
keep his voice steady-to drive tho
tremor out Of 1t.
MAY I ask your business, sir?" re-
piled the answering voice.
Il want to see Mr. Grant on most
important and urgent business, con-
nected with the disappearance OF the
duke Of London. 1t is imperative that
I should see him at once, as I have
information Of the utmost importance
to give him.
"Will you wait moment, sir?" said
| the thin, distant voice.
There was period of suspense, and
then Marriott heard the little rattle
as the vulcanite mouthpiece was taken
from it's supports.
Il am Michael Grant," came voice,
far more rich and full than the pre-
vious one. my servant tells me that
you have some important information
to give me. May ask, sir, who you
| are?"
Basil explained In a few brief
| words.
"Oh, know your name quite we'll,
! Of course Grant answered, and his
hearer perceived the eagerness which
suddenly animated the words. And,
of course, you are member of my
club, too Shall come to you, or will
you come to me?'
II will come to you" Basil an
swered, "as fast as I can"
"All right came the reply. you
will be with me in ten minutes. I
will wait in. Good-by."
Basil hurried downstairs, and was
assisted into cab by the valet.
He was in a sort Of dream while
the hansom rolled down St. James
street and into the mall. Nor did he
perceive anything Of the gorgeous
| panorama Of London's nucleus of pal
| aces until the cab drove in under a
great archway, and the feet of the
horses echoed upon the macadam Of
| an enclosed court yard, with foun-
| tain in the center, surrounded by an
immense quadrangle Of buildings.
Grants fiat was on the third floor.
The lift took Basil up at once, and he
| had hardly pressed the electric but
ton on the Intel of the doorway be-
fore it was opened by the great ath-
lete himself.
"Come in! Come in, Capt Mar
riott," Grant said, taking him by the
hand, and with an almost uncontrolla-
{ofr io ~
| movement
Basil followed him into large and
beautifully furnished room.
Michael Grant was, Of course, the
greatest athlete that England had
ever known, and one Of the most
popular men in society; but-in con-
tradiction to the habits of many men
Of his stamp-he had cultivated an
interest in aesthetics. Because he
happened to hold the worlds record
for the mile, had been triple Blue at
Oxford, and was laurel crowned in
many a mighty contest Of the body,
yet he did not disdain Intellectual and
artistic pursuits.
Nov then, what is It, Capt. Mar
riott?" Grant said. And then, break
ing of suddenly in his speech-''By
Jove! how Ill you look! What is the

"Oh, have had a shock" Marriott
| replied. II was knocked down last
| night by some unseen assailant, Just

London at quarter past two or
thereabouts in the morning!"
Grant stated. "Ah!' he said.
