so ago., the Rev. Twitty. of the Metho-

This is wholly natural, as the most OF

MULE KNOCKS OUT A TRAIN
One Kick, and Missouri Pacific's
Through Passenger is in for
Repairs.

Now laugh. But wasn't a
laughing matter with the engineer
of the Missouri Pacific s fine big
passenger train through Missouri
last Monday forenoon. The
handSomeSt train that crosses the
state was laid up for repairs by
the swat Of an humble Missouri
hooking bird. 1t was train No.
4, west boand, due in War
|%rensburg at 3:16 in the afternoon
it was an hour or more late Mon
day afternoon and when Conduct
or Dan O'Brien, told Ticket
Agent Smyth the cause of the be-
latement he was unanimously ex-
cused. John Wash, who was a pas
senger on the train vouches for
the truth of the story.
Train No. l was meandering
along at a fair speed about %
miles this side of st. Louis. A
farmer with a one-mule chaise
attempted to cross the track
ahead of the train. The mule
wouldn't hurry and the driver
saw he wasn't going to get across
so he tried to back off. lie got
himself and wagon back, but the
engine caught the mule.
The jolt disconnected the mule
from the wagon. That mule sud.
denly woke up and blazed away
at the engine with both feet, land
ing an upper-cut which would
have put Jim Jeffries tc
lsleep. The mule went hiking
down the road, and the engine
went dead. The mules Loo.
had landed on a steam valve
broke it square off and let tn,
steam out Of the boiler.
From a vantage point on
neighboring hill the aforesaid
mule looked back to see wha
they were going to do about it
The engineer managed to drag Il
a nearby station and wire foi
another engine. There was no
body hurt. The only remirki
were made by the engineer whicl
ran something like this: "dam
mule anyway" And the sen
timent seemed to meet the appro
val Of the farmer whose Wagon
was muleless.-The WarrensburI

Great interest being shown in Records
big Vacation Tour Contest
All things come to those who hustle
while they wait
BalIoting getting nicely started
Still an excellent chance for new con-
testants.
Be leader---Be a winner
Be a leader---Be a winner

As each day passes interest increases
in the Great New York City and Ber-
muda tours which the Record is offer
ing. New contestants are entering da-
lily The contestants from the out-of-
town districts are now beginning to re-
allze the full value OF this splendid offer
and are getting after the votes. Many
have already turned in votes and many
Others are yet to be heard from. Sur
prises may be sprung any day and a
lady who is well down in the list or has
no votes at all could easily be winner
in any district by a few hours work
among her friends. And remember 1t
is the leaders who attract the attention
and help their friends. So get started
now, get in line and be leader, help
yourself, get little start and your
friends seeing that you are really in
earnest about winning one OF the splen-
did tours will gladly help you. Only
let your friends know you are out to
WIN, and they will surely hely you.
If you are one of those who are help
inc the candidates, and in your mental
reflections or deliberations you fail to
see how your favorite candidate IS to
win, because her score may be well
down in the list, go to work, begin to
talk; there is nothing perhaps more self
satisfactory than the opportunity tohelp
others. There is basis of fact, the
next thing to do Is to act. Remember
factions speak louder than words,
there are many young ladies, popular
young ladies too, that are trying to win
these hlgh-class educational tours, they
are going to win them too. But its a
lot more pleasant for them when they
have the support and encouragement
OF their friends. Remember the sub
scriptlon price Of the twice-a-week Re-
cord is just the same as when the paper
was published weekly. Watch the Re-
cord grow. New correspondents and
reporters are being added to our list
daily. 1t is local paper-you want
the local news, then. subscribe for the
paper and give your votes to your
favorite young lady. The young lady
gets the advantage Of your vote and
you help yourelf by receiving the paper
So help the contestants NOW when they
need encouragement.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1910-06-24

Don't talk; -hustlc. Don't tell any
one how many subscriptions you have
III view. Don't believe every fairy tale
you hear, there are many such IN mo-
ton. Don't believe any contestant has
a better chance than you, for they have.
mt. Don't neglect to keep busy or inn
agine that each subscription that some
body else gets will cause you to lose.
Don't get discouraged, there are many
homes and business people in and
about LambertviIle and surrounding
towns that have not been visited by
any candidate. Go after them at once.
Don't forget to report each one. "Say
nothing but saw wood" Write to your
out-of-town friends and ask then Will
ing support
If you are in doubt, or if there is any
thing you don't understand call up or
consult the manager of the tour d =
partment and the matter will be made
clear to you. We will also supply all
contestants with sample eoples, des
criptive printed matter &c. Call at
the office and make your wants known.
The tour department manager will en-
deavor to call upon the ladies who
have been nominated and help them
in any way he can, and explain the
scope OF this great enterprise, but as
the number Of contestants is large, time
will be saved if they will call at the of
fee, discuss matters, get necessary
blanks &c
In voting clipped coupons contests
ants names and their friends are re-
quested. where they have a bunch Of
coupons to vote at one time, to tie or
pin them together, marking the con-
testants name and the number of votes
in the package, on the top coupon.
And to all contestants we would
earnestly say, get started at once. The
sooner you start the easier it IS and the
better chance you have of winning.
Nothing is gained without effort These
splendid tours will be well worth the
time required to win them. When the
gang plank is raised and the beautiful
"Bermudian' sails out OF New York
harbor and down the bay will you be
abroad1 Determine now that you will.
