route. Mr. Tagen followed the line of
desolation seven miles and saw many
wonderful manifestations of wind power
so impressive, indeed, that he was in
clined to return to Denmark. But he
yielded to persuasion to remain here.
Mr. Tagen remembers distinctly seeing
Halley's comet i'll 1888, and says the dis
play of that year was very far superior
to that of last year. 1t was much larger
and much more brilliant.
AS young man he knew Christian
VIII, King of Denmark, and can tell
some interesting stories OF that era.
Shortly after arriving i'll this country
Mr.. Tagen, then employed i'll Somerset
county, Pa, met couple OF young col
legiates. While talking one of the lat
ter saw IA little plant growing i'll field
that appeared to be radically different
from neighboring growths. The young
man stopped, eXaminedit and remarked
Here S a stranger III have to send
it to Prof. - to ascertain what 1t is. y
"You don't need to do that, ~ Mr.. Ia
gen responded.
"But | want to find out what it is,
reioined the student.
I'm tell you what it is, said Mr.. Ia
gen, and he at once gave the common
and botanical name Of the plant, lnclnd-
ing IA lecture upon the specles-lts gene
sis and limit of development.
The young man, much surprised
wanted to learn how and where Mr..
Tagen had acquired so much evidently
accurate information concerning plant
life.
He was informed that association with
and study of vegetable physiology, both
in Europe and America, had rounded
Mr. Tagen up as practical botanlst OF
international dimensions.
On the strength of the young man 5
relation of this incident Mr.. Tagen re-
ceived a very tiattering offer Of profess
sorship III the college, but would not
accept when he found that the lncum-
bent member of the faculty whose place
he would take would be thereby much
displeaSed
About the time Mr.. Tagen came here
Miss Katrina Rosenberger became his
wife. TO them one child has been born
"a son, William, and the husband and
father is blessed in the fact that during
all of the long 60 years Of his married
life death has never invaded his little
circle. The wife and mother is a con
slant associate and worker with her
husband in his vocation of market
gardener.
Their little home on the northeastern
verge is testimonial of their own in
dustry aud frugality. Here they live in
the perfect peace of congenial work and
thought.
To his other accomplishments Mr..
Tagen adds that of music. With more
than ordinary skill he renders guitar
and other instrumental selections.
Notwithstanding his advanced age he
is very spry and Splinter of unusual
go-ahead hurry.
As indicated Mr.. Tagen makes his
own livelihood-growlng and marketing
garden produce, two-fold vocation
whose work makes him one of the
towns most familiar popular and re-
spected citizens.

and before he emigrated to this country

and dollars, but Mr.. Tagen realized less
than 5000 for it.
Mr.. Tagen studied astronomy also and
in that line of acquisition is scholarly
and instructive. Indeed, i'll the vernac-
ular of both botany and astronomy he
is always ready to talk.
During his young manhood in Den
mark he was leader among his contem-
poraries, and at one time the foreman of
over 200 workers.
But he longed for 'freedom from OPP

Lesson of a Good Record.

The Hartman lines of railroad car
ried over two million passengers last
wear without loss of single life.
Which is the sequel to a story of adj
mirable management of trackage and
equipment.
But the Hartman lines killed some
other people-a few whom the managers
call "trespassers on our tracks, and
more than few at crossings.
Considering the iron bound rights-of-
way the railroads have acquired from
the people, it behooves the latter now, III
building new highways, to avoid far as
possible, not only crossings, but all con
tact with railroads.

Who fought to make our country free;
Though first in war. yet first in peace
TO honor him we II never cease
And though through ages he Will sleep,
