WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
Tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food TO
Her Litter.

On one OF the large estates in Hing
ham, few weeks ago, a fox was found
to be destroying poultry. The time Of
the raids, and their holiness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later one of
the workmen of the estate came upon
the den of a fox, at the mouth OF
which lay dead a whole litter of young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself, but had carried it home
to her family. They must have died
in the burrow, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out, into the fresh air, to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her per-
plexity she had brought various It'd
bits of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses to tempt them
to wake up out of their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat. Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms, and what
her emotions were? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after, how
ever, for no one has seen her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp,
in the Atlantic.

PENALTY FOR "BUTTING IN"
InsuIted Passenger Got Little Sym
pathy From Conductor, and Real
ly Did Not Deserve Any.

An unexplained incident with a hui
morous side occurred at railroad ter
minus. A train was drawing out from
the station when a man came running
along the platform. Smith! Smith,"
he shouted.
In carriage at the rear of the train
sat a passenger, who, hearing the cry,
thrust his head out of the window, I'm
mediately the runner on the platform
struck him a smart blow across the
cheek.
Every moment the wheels were re-
volving more swiftly, and before the
insulted passenger could call an Off
cial the train was clear of the station.
He went at once to the conductor.
What kind of an outrage is this?"
he demanded. Here am l, an limo
cent passenger, sitting quietly just
as the train pulls out of the station.
Suddenly a man runs down the plat
form shrieking Smith! Smith, I look
out of the window, and he reaches up
and almost knocks my head off! Now,

Pardon me-" interrupted the con-
ductor. "Is your name Smith,"
mo, it isn't, and that is just what
makes"

out of the window for? There WASH

IMPROVING SKIN OF THROAT
Just Few Minutes Each Day, With
Proper Applications, viii Ac-
complish Wonders,

If the skin of the throat is loose and
baggy, dip the tips of your fingers in
alcohol, massage from the throat up
ward toward the chin, and then from
the throat downward toward the
chest. Do this two and half min
utes, and the remaining two and a
half massage with a pure skin food
along the same lines. You will find
that alcohol is absorbed rapidly, and
that if the skin food is applied quick
ly after, it, too, will sink quickly in.
When finished give the throat few
dashes of cold water and pat dry.
Now, if you wish the best results,
do not put off starting this massage
until you are badly in need of the
treatment, for then five minutes will
hardly suffice. Start right in now and
make a five-minute massage a part of
your daily toilet. Keep it up and in
time you cannot help but notice de-
cided change in your skin. Five min
utes may not seem worth while, but 1t
will surely help to retain the beauty
you do possess, besides keeping in
allegiance the many troublesome blem-
ishes which affect the skin.

One of the most difficult problems
in connection with railway electrifi-
cation is the electric operation of
switching yards for freight service.
Where the third rail system of opera
ton is employed, it will be conceded,
probably, that operation of freight
yard by electric power is out of the
question. The work of yard men is
dangerous enough at the present
time: and if we were to add to pres
ent dangers the necessity of keeping
clear of a labyrinth of highly charged
third rails, extending all over the
labyrinth of tracks, it may well be eX-
pected that the result In casualties
would shortly result in public out
cry and consequent legislation COM
polling the abandonment of the sys-
TEN of electric distribution, however,
such as is now in use on some lines,
II becomes possible to equip
freightyard for electric operation by
suspending a network of electric con-
ductors overhead. This has now been
done for the New Haven railway at
it's Harlem river terminal in the
northern part of New York city. This
terminal covers an area of two hun
dred or three hundred acres, and its
tracks have a total extent of eighty.

FlVE-MlNUTE SCALP MASSAGE
T. Bring Best Results and Hair
viii Not Become Oily.

If your scalp is dry and shows dan
druff, get a bottle of ordinary red
vaseline. Put very little of the vase
line on the tip of each finger of your
hand; then rub the tips of the fingers
Of the other hand against those that
have vaseline on them. There should
be apparent then only slight oiliness
of all the finger tips. Next place the
finger tips upon the scalp at the edge
of the hair, one hand at either side
of the head. 1t does not matter much
whether you start at the nape of the
neck, or on the forehead, but wher-
ever you do start, let the hands be an
even distance apart. For instance,
place one in back of each ear. Once
started rub the finger tips above each

with a couple of hand-car batteries
manned by section gangs, and swept
the field of action with solution of
sulfocide and nicotine shot from hand
spray pumps.
Day after day Fullerton and his
hand-car batteries raked the battle
field with their spray pumps, and day
after day caterpillars and yet more
caterpillars inundated themselves be-
fore any and every Long Island train
that juggernauted that way.
Then Fullerton bethought himself
of the method by which medieval
castles were defended. He ran six
inch moat along both sides of the in
vaded stretch of track and flooded it
with crude oil. Then did history re-
peat herself and tell over again the
story of the French cuirassiers and
the sunken road at Waterloo; rank
after rank of caterpillars dashed into
this moat of Fullertons, but not a
caterpillar reached its other side.
The Long Island railroad had won
the war of the caterNllars.
But though vanquished, they had
established a record. Bugs and worms
before this have crippled railroads,
but never before has any army, either
bug or worm, succeeded in continuing
its campaign for so long time.

Wash silk Petticoats,

Wash silk petticoats are a useful
addition to any wardrobe, be it limited
or not. They are made of somewhat
heavy silk Silk and cotton so-called
tub silk, is almost as durable as heavy
all-silk material and is more durable
for petticoats, at least, than cheap
all silk. The petticoats are made in
striped pattern with scant bias
flounces at the bottom. They can be
worn with any light street costumes.
One of violet and white in narrow
stripes could be worn with tan, green
or violet outside skirts; one of tan
and white would find many uses, and
more decided colors would be useful to
wear with few frocks.

HONOR IS NOT STEPHENSON'S
Fifteen Years Before He Built the
Rocket, William Hedley Had Pro-
dueed Practical Locomotive.

There is cause for wonder at the
failure of the Industrial world to COM
memorate tittingly the centenary of
the locomotive steam engine. It is,
of course, still less than a hundred
years since the building OF Stephen
sons Rocket, and there are many who
think of it as the first locomotive; but
1t was not, nor was Stephenson the
original inventor of steam traction on
railways. Doubtless his genius well
deserves the fame which il has won,
as does that of Fulton and Morse; yet
it can scarcely be disputed that all
three of those illustrious benefactors
of the race did their great works in
the successful adaptation and combina-
ton of elements which had previously
been discovered and employed by 9TH
ers
The germ of the locomotive was first
displayed by Trevithick, at the end of
the eighteenth century, but he lacked
the genius or the persistence to bring
it to perfection. 1t was left to William
Hedley, chief engineer of the historic
Wylam colliery, near Newcastle-on-
Tyne, assisted by his colleague, Tim
othy Hackworth, to produce in June,
1913, a practical locomotive steam en-
CINE for use on the colliery railroad
This epoch-making machine, which
was named Putting Billy and which is
still preserved in the South Kensing-
ton museum, worked satisfactorily and
was the prototype of many others
which were widely used for fifteen
years, until in 1929 the Liverpool and
Manchester Railroad company encour-
aged Stephenson to devise and build
the Rocket.
1t is doubtless true that it was Ste
phenson who gave the impulse to the
marvellous development of the locomo-
tive which has since occurred. 1t is
equally true that it was Hedley's great
invention which gave the inspiration
and the impulse to Stephenson. The
Newcastle engineers achievement of
just a century ago may therefore be
regarded as the beginning of what
must rank among the three or four
most valuable and influential me-
chanical inventions in the history of
the world.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
affirmed a lower court upholding the
constitutionality of the Full Crew
Law"
The Pennsylvania railroad, which
sought to restrain the state railroad
commission from enforcing the law,
asserted it would increase the roads
expenses nearly one-half million dol
lars annually without providing addi-
tional safeguards for the travelling
public.
The law is similar to those of Ar
kansas and Indiana, which have been
passed upon by the United States Su-
preme court, 1t requires an extra
brakeman on all passenger trains of
more than three cars and all freight
trains with more than thirty cars.

invading army is to cut railroad lines
in the enemy's country, and this is
exactly what was done by a countless
army of ,caterpillars that invaded the
Long Island railroads right of way,
between Amagansett and Montauk.
The fatalities among the invaders
were appalling; billions of them were
squashed; but for two weeks the
dead and the dying, their number
constantly increased by willing hordes
from the ranks of the living, succeed
ed in smashing train schedules.
There were battles daily between
the big, powerful engines of the road
and the tiny caterpillars, the former
aided by skirmish lines of trainmen
armed with brooms, shovels, and pals
of sand, the latter aided by nothing
but their ability to climb up on the
track and grease it with their
squashed bodies.
If these two opposing forces-the
big locomotives and the tiny cater
pillars-had been left to fight it out
between themselves, it is grave
question but what history would have
had different story to inscribe upon
her tablets.
Acting under hurry-up orders, how
ever, from President Ralph Peters,

pany's director of agricultural devel-
opment, bore down on the invaders

Railroad Cats Long Life.

Tiger" the remarkable cat of the
Great Eastern Railway companys
freight shed at Peterborough, Eng
land which is reputed to be about
twenty-seven years old, is peacefully
ending a life crowded with rat ex-
termination and other happy Incl
dents. Few cats live much beyond
fourteen or fifteen years. During her
long life Tiger has killed thousands
of rats. She is a light tabby, and
came to the sheds for refuge during
a fire at a timber yard close by over
twenty-siX years ago, having been
driven from her home in timber
stack by the flames. Tiger has al
ways been wild, and has obtained her
own food, consisting almost entirely
of rats, of which she would kill as
many as fourteen and fifteen in one
night. Her custom was to bring all
the rats alive to one of the men en-
ployed in the shreds, and would not
eat one until she received permission.
