Prof. n. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba
Recommends ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

AS long ago as can remember my
mother was a faithful user and friend
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. but
never in my life have 1 realized its
true value until now," writes Prof. H.
A. Howell, of HowelPs American
School, Havana, Cuba. ION the night
February 3rd our baby was taken sick
with very severe cold; the next day
was worse and the following night
his condition was desperate. He could
not lie down and it was necessary to
have him in the arms every moment
Even then his breathing was difficult
did not think he would live until
morning. At last I thought of my
mothers remedy, Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and it afford
ed prompt relief, and now three days
later, he has fully recovered. Under
the circumstances would not hesitate
a moment in saying that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, and that only,
saved the life of our dear little boy"

RAILROAD MEMS CLUB A GO
Meeting 10 BE Held Next Week to
Adopt Articles and Make SeIec-
tiOn of Headquarters.

Articles of Incorporation, bylaws and a
constitution for the Railroad Mems club
OF Omaha are being prepared and
a meeting will be called for some
day next week, when these articles
will be adopted and the club
will be ready for business. The committee
appointed to draft the articles has been
at work. Iatterning after the best features
of similar clubs in other cities. Officers
will be elected at the coming meeting and
a committee will also be appointed to select
club rooms. Several places are available
for the use Of the club. The Eks have an
entire floor of their new home which could
be had. Some favor securing the rathskeller
OF the Henshaw. and others think the
second story Of the Schlitz hotel. formerly
a roof garden, would be the best available
place. -
Promoters Of the club think they see an
idea to be derived from the new club
house which the Union Pacific Is erecting
for its men at Green River. They think
that perhaps, the railroads centering in
Omaha might be induced TO build a club
house for the use OF the club. which is
about to be formed in Omaha. The club
house at Green River is 4sx72. two stories
high, with a ~ten-foot basement. The base

road. and on II q frog"
The cars used In transporting granite had
four wheels OF nearly eight feet in dame
ter. The axietree was arched, to give
more space above the ground. The load
was carried on a platform ten feet long
by four feet wide. This platform was
placed in the track between two rails. and
the blocks Of granite were rolled on It.
Then the car was run over the loaded
platform, and four chains running over
ground wheels attached to shafting at the
top OF the car were hooked into eyebolts
at the corners OF the platform. These
chains were wound on to the shaft by
wheels and lever power. thus raising the
platform and suspending the load between

AMERICAS FIRST RAILROAD
some Few Relies Remain of the Gran
lite Road Built I'm Boston
In 1926.

Just off Granite avenue, East Milton. in
h is now the Neponset Park reserva-
tion, Boston. can be seen the remains of
the oldest railroad in America.
1t was built in 1896, for the purpose of
conveying granite from the Bunker Hill
quarry in Quincy to the Neponset river In
Milton, for shipment to Charlestown. then
TO be used in the erection OF Bunker Hill

was about three and one-half miles in
length. half Of the road being IN Quincy
and the rest in Milton. The gauge was
three feet.
Tho rails were described as OF pine, "a
foot deep. covered with an oak plate. and
these with flat bars Of iron" There must
be a slight inaccuracy In the statement,
however. as anyone can see by visiting the
site near the old wharf on Guilivers' creek,
Neponset river. Long. flat pieces OF gran
lite are still there, forming. to all appear
ances. the remains OF a rack. The granite
shows unmistakable marks OF iron rust this
width OF the rail- used. four inches. and
also pieces of iron rivets and numerous
rivst holes.
In a quarter-of-a-mile walk from the old
roadbed. which is now used for modern
traffic, to the end OF the peninsula which
runs out to the wharf, one sees a perfect
granite embankment all along the creek
side OF the road.
At the end. by the wharf. are various
reminders OF the work OF other days

Calendar for Business Men.
For ready reckoning purposes many busl-
ness men prefer a calendar for the current
year, which they can carry in their heads
This may be made by setting down in
order the dates of the first Sundays in
each month Of the twelve and then com.
hitting that order to memory. The first
Sundays for the months Of 1909 will be:
Jan. Feb. March April May June July Aug.
Sept. oct. Nov. Dec.
With these as starting points. any date
in the year can be found by adding rs for
succeeding Sundays. SUPPOSE you want to

Sentences that Are Used.
Those who are familiar with the use OF
the figure alphabet will have no difficulty
in remembering the order OF any series of
numbers such as these months values.
Each consonant sound represents a figure,
and cognate sounds, such as t and d stand
for the same figures.
BY writing out the figures and under
them their consonant values, it is an easy
matter to fill in with vowels, so as to
make words or sentences as vowels and W,
h and Y have no figure value. Such words
or sentences retain the figures in a fixed
order. This is the figure alphabet in COM
mon use:

The standard years are those in which
the first Sunday of each month falls on
the dates indicated by the table; such as
1862, 1878, 1879, 1902. 1918. 1880. Constant use
tlxes these standard years in the memory
but some mental dexterity is required in
telling instantly how many leap years have
interviewed between the year asked for and
a standard year.
Suppose the date demanded by some one
In the audience is May 81. 1858. The nearest
standard year was 1851. to which two must
be added to get the year asked for and
one for the leap year, 1852, which has in
tervened. Your departure from a standard
year is therefore 2 plus /. or 8; and this
8 must be deducted from the figure given
for May In your standard calendar. The
remainder is l. Now you have your Sundays
for May, 1853. as the LIST, sth, 18th, 22d and
18th, so the s1st must have fallen on Tues
day.
Although this Is a rather complicated
process, 1t Is simplified by the fact that

tors in order to arrive at the result.
Another Easy Method. =
Another method, preferred by some to

services without pay. Many Of the boys

20 cents for three, etc. Some exceptional
cases are taken free of charge, where 1t
can be proven that the parents are de-

Sentences that Are Used.

Taking the line Of figures given for
month values you can easily make a SEN
tence such as:
Making a wrench rattle meekly.
which has the advantage of keeping each
section of the three months in one word.
Observe that it is sound and not spelling
that is translated. 50 that double conso-
nants have a single value.
SOM persons make a new sentence for
each year, so that the figures shall always
represent the first Sundays. Others get
one order of figures and one sentence fixed
in the memory and use it for every year,
changing the day of the week to which
1t applies, which they find simpler. For
example, in the year 1902 this sentence
gave the figures for the first Sundays:
A linen shirt which 1 am cleaning.
522 GAL 6 1877
In 1903 the same figures were used for
the first Mondays and in 1904 for the
first Tuesdays, and so on until leap year
came around in 1903. This made 1t fit the
Mondays again, except for the first two
months. E.
