Equipped, Being Closely

Railroad men In Harrisburg are
watching with a great deal of interest
the behavior OF locomotive No. 1859,
which has been equipped with a Street
automatic stocking device. and is un-
dergoing a thorough test over the Mid

road
The device is the product OF the
Westinghouse and American Locomo-
tive Company. and the man, Street.
whose name II bears, is said to have
spent four years as a locomotive fire.
man In active service in order to thor
oughly learn the requirements of such
a piece of mechanism.
The stoker is built on the principles
of the endles chain dredge, with small
elevators to convey the coal from the
farthest portion OF the engine tender
and distribute over the fire in such a
manner with almost human intelli-
gence.
Those in charge OF the locomotive
say the actions of the new device Is a
complete success. The railroads have
been trying for some time to secure a
mechanism that would take az least
part of the labor from the fireman as
the increase i'm the size Of the locomo-
tive as we'll as speed, has also inoreas-
ed his duties TO such an extent that
Il takes all he can do TO keep up the
steam pressure.
For several years the fireman have
been given assistance by the real
brakemen over certain portions Of the
road where the grades were steep and
trains heavy.
The stoker, however. will requirl

DON'T THROW THAT STONE
NJ. c. Robbins.

Don't throw that stone-just lay it
down,
Go look upon that sand;
And read the words that Jesus wrote,
Traced by His sacred hand.
He said--if any sinless be,
Just cast a stone today
But not a single stone was thrown,
But each one walked away.
II was a woman. sinful, weak,
That stood within the crowd;
Her eyes were filled with agony,
AS she heard the clamor loud.
But near her side the Master stood,
She was not left alone;
Not one among that ribald crowd,
Would dare TO cast stone.
They could not sit i'm judgment on
That woman frail-that's sure.
For not a heart among them all.
Was free from sin and pure.
The Magdalen she lmelt and wept-
Her sins told DER and DER;
The Master blessed her-Go in peace

ordinary woman without much
leisure or time for culture. She
did no, know the difference be
tween am Ionic and a Doric col

not up on china painting or the

up five children to tell the truth
TO regard the right, TO love their
brothers and to do honest labor
and not be ashamed of it, When
she died there were many who
said nothing about it, and there
was no big funeral procession
but the recording angel said as
he reached for a fresh pen and
turned over TO a clean page: a
queen is coming get her throne
