Omlnous RepIv,


Mrs. Pankhurst, at a dinner in New
York, said that the militant suffra.
gettes could not love their country as
now constituted-they could not love
her till, transformed, she gave votes
to all.

ignominy Of it," Mrs. Pankhurst said,
"of the beautiful chorus girl OF seven
teen, who married Gobsa Golde, the
septuagenarian millionaire.
"The day of the wedding, speeding
California-ward in Gobsa Golde's mag
nificent private car, the old man took
his brides hand in his and said:
Dear, do you love me for what I
am, or for what was?'
Tightening her cigarette in its long
tube of gold and amber, the beautiful
girl answered calmly:

MAKES CoALING EASY MATTER
Modern Machinery Loads Tons of Fuel
In Space Of Only a Few
Seconds.

The coaling Of locomotives at large
terminals, where great many engines
are dispatched, requires the handling
of large amount Of coal. The mod
ern engine carries Is tons-3O, ,OO0i
pounds.
In the early days this coal was SHOW
eled direct from cars, carried into en-
gines by hand in small two-bushel
boxes. or taken direct from mines ad-
Joining the main line, but since the
nearby coal deposits have been
worked out and the mines have been
located on spur tracks away from the
main line, coal chutes designed to de-
liver coal in from one to ten ton lots
on the engine tender have been erect
ed at convenient places, usually about
fifty miles apart
Freight trains require coal about
every fifty miles, while passenger
trains usually run 100 miles more with
out taking coal. In renewing the old
coaling plants or adapting them to
double track, the Wabash railroad is
erecting modern steel structures hav-
ing 300 tons storage, and so arranged
as to deliver coal on either the main
tracks or passing tracks, or all, at the
same time. The coal is dumped from
self-clearing cars into a concrete pit,
where 1t runs by gravity into an ele-
vator having ton buckets, which are
hoisted by electricity. The whole az
rangement makes a resourceful and
economical coaling plant as an engine
can take ten tons of coal in as many
seconds, thus insuring the minimum
stoppages and avoidiSg delay to trains.

LIKE THE THREE.CYLINDERS
Latest Idea in Locomotives Is An
nounced by Experts to Be Pro-
nounced Success.

At the last annual convention of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association Mr.. j. S. Bell read a paper
on the subject of three-cylinder loco
motives, in which he gave particulars
regarding three of this type which
have been giving good service. The
three cylinders are placed on the same
horizontal plane, one between the
frame and other two exterior to the
frame. They have the same diameter,
1871 inches, and each has it's own pis.
ton valve. They have been engaged
for several years in fast passenger ser
vice, where they have been doing very
satisfactory work. Their principal ad-
vantages are that they secure uni
form turning moment, the cranks be-
ing placed at 120 degrees; they exert
greater tractive power, and they call
for a lower factor of adhesion than
two-cylinder engines. They ape easy
on rails and bridges; afford opportun-
ity for better balancing, and can be
operated on the simple, compound, or
triple-expansion principle.-Sclentific

Poverty and Wealth.

Over against the doctrine so insis
tently declared by many sociologists
that poverty Is one Of the chief causes
Of vice among women and Of crime
among men, DR.. Eliot, president emeri-
tus Of Harvard, asserts that poverty
is far safer moral condition than in.
ordinate wealth"
If exact definitions could be given Of
what constitutes poverty and what
constitutes inordinate wealth, the is.
sue would be an excellent one for dis
cussion In academic circles. The man
of practical mind, however, will note
only that the number of persons ex.
posed to the temptations of poverty
must be at least 10000 times as great
as the number exposed to those OF in.
ordinate wealth. Consequently, 1t is
the poverty vices and crimes that most
concern not only the police, but the re-
former. Profllgacies Of the inordinate.
1y wealthy pass over q community al
most as harmlessly as flaming comet
that astounds but Is too far out of
reach to affect the lives Of many. The
temptations Of poverty, however, fes.
tering In obscurity, may poison the air
for thousands.
Furthermore, IL sociologists could
find out how to get rid of poverty,
theremight be no inordinate wealth to
fret about.---New York World.

EASIER TO WRITE 1T
YOUNG sUlToR EVIDENTLY a
LITTLE EMBARRASSED.
Ordeal Of "Asking Papa" Was Too
Much for Him, but There Have
Been Many Others In Just
the Same Fix.

Prior to the epoch-making moment
when his love triumphed over his ma
tive bashfulness young Mr.. Askam
would have maintained against any
odds that the hardest thing in life was
to propose to the girl you wershiped.
Afterwards, however, he decided that
the proposal was simply child's play
compared to asking the consent of his
father-in-law elect, although that es-
timable old gentleman was a great
friend.
Flushed with success with the
daughter, he felt filled with the spirit
Of hundred conquerors, and reckless
ly insisted upon seeing the father at
once. But upon reaching the library
the spirit of the hundred conquerors
suddenly evaporated and left him with
pale face and trembling knees and
chaotic mind.
'T-er-er-" he stammered insufi-
ciently.
"Indeed!" observed the old gentle
man, chuckling. "Then you're no more
than human"
"Ah, hal" gasped Mr.. Askam, hys,
terically, pretending hilarity he was
far, far from feeling.
"How is your mother?" asked the old
gentleman, after an awkward pause,
with the kindly intention Of setting his
caller at rest.
II love her. II passionately adore
her. She-she has promised to marry
me If you consent" announced Mr..
Askam, in a wild burst of eloquence.
What! Your mother% cried the
old gentleman, aghast.
"No, no." explained the thoroughly
confused Mr.. Askam. yours"
MY mother! Are you crazy?" de,
manded the old gentleman, excitedly.
81 shall be in minute" moaned the
wretched Mr. Askam. "Sir," he con-
tinued, the words falling slowly and
cautiously from his agitated lips. 81
-came-here-to ask-your-consent
to marry-me."
"Eh?" cried the old gentleman.
"Pll-I'n write it'll" shouted the un.
happy Mr.. Askam, struck by a happy
thought as he burst madly out of the
room. And in that way matters were
at last Strengthened to everyone's sat
