sum. 1t is about the cost of a mod

But a man is different from loco
motive. He can't pull as much, but he
can push lot more. He can last long
er and run farther than the best loco
motive ever built Most important of
all, he can constantly increase the
capitalization he represents and re-
quire more interest to be paid on it,
while the locomotive can never be
worth cent more than it was when
it left the shop. The circular re-
ferred to continues:

your mind. Read, study and observe.
Like the engine, you can't do your
work unless you stay on the rails and
keep where the boss can find you. Re-
member that no call boy ever found

There is food for thought in these
words, not only for railroad employees
but for all other young mel-and
young women, too-who are trying to
get on in the world make a success of
their lives, and get the things, the
place and the power they desire.
We hear az great deal now and
then-from failures, idlers or busy
bodies-about young men not having
now the chance they once had At
bottom the statement is a falsehood.
The world was never so hungry for
really efficient mentor men who can
and will grow up to greater tasks
for men resolute to increase the CAPT
talization they represent-as It is to-
day.
Every discovery of science, every
triumph of invention, demands more
and more capable men to operate the
machinery of civilization thus newly
provided. 1t rests with the man-with
each man-to show that he has the
capacity And real power always gets
paid.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

REALISM CARRIED TO EXCESS
Lack of Drapery Would Seem to Have
Furnished Excellent Incentive for
Maternal Slipper.

A mother in Worcester, Mass, who
had orthodox views, had told her chill
dren the Garden of Eden story. The
children were greatly impressed. One
afternoon, returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the veranda. Going
into the darkened living-room she saw
one Of the boys, minus clothing, re-
Ginning under big fern, while anoth-
er, equally clothless, was standing by
a palm. They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Ad-
am and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three, came into the room as ma
ture had first given him to the world,
except that he wore a silk hat on his
head and carried a cane.
'And pray who are your" asked the
mother.
The little one looked up at her and
smiled as he said; 81 am the Lord
bod Almighty, walking in the darden
In the tool of the day"

SAND WILL DO 1T.

I observed locomotive in the railroad
yards one day.
1t was waiting in the roundhouse where
the locomotives stay;
1t was painting for the journey. it was
coaled and fully manned,
And it had box the fireman was filling
full of sand.
1t appears that locomotives can not al
ways get a grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip;
And when they reach a slippery spot
their tactics they command.
And to get grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with sand.
It's about the way with travel along
lfe's slippery track,
If your load is rather heavy you're al
ways slipping back;
So, If a common locomotive you COM
pietely understand,
You'll provide yourself in starting with
good supply Of sand.
If your track is steep and hilly and you
have heavy grade,
If those who'Ve gone before you the rails
quite slippery made,
per lakeland,
You'll find you'll have to do with lib
eral use of sand
If you strike some frigid weather and
discover, to your cost,
That you're liable to slip up on heavy
coat of frost,
Then some prompt, decided action will be
called into demand
And you'll slip way to the bottom If you
haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on
life's schedule seen ts
If there's fire beneath the boiler of am
bition's strong machine.
And you'll reach a place called Flush
town at a rate of speed that's grand
If for all the slippery places you've a

What the Railroads Do.

1t seems very simple to see the pas
senger trains run in and out of the
station; to order the freight car and
send the grain to market; to telegraph
to the nearest large town for supplies,
and in "a to 48 hours have them de-
livered But it is not so easy and sim
pie as it seems, and there is danger
today that the next great uplift in
business in the United States will find
the railroads, as whole, sorely taxed
to furnish the transportation needed
for the commerce of the country.
Why? Because a misdirected public
opinion is demanding rates too low,
taxes too high, wages too high, service
too elaborate, and there was not cents
enough to the dollar to meet all these
obligations and still permit the bust
ness to be attractive enough so the
man with the dollar will invest it.
Our American railroads have done
good work, and can do better, and it
is to the farmers selfish interest to
see that they are SO treated that they
will be ready at all times to handle
business. To be ready requires con
slant expenditure. -Leslies

WATCH THE WHEELS CLOSELY
Canadian Experts Declare Defective
FIanses TO Be Frequent Cause Of
Railroad Accidents.

The railroad commission has issued
a circular to motive power foremen
on the Canadian railroads urging the
importance of a renewal of locomotive
wheels before the fanges are badly
worn. Inspectors in the service OF
the commission report that many loco
motives on passenger trains have
sharp flanges. in some cases the
fanges being worn down below the
master car builders standard allow
ance gauge. Some of these locomo-
tives are running on fast passenger
trains, thus inviting much unneces-
sary risk to the safety of hundreds of
passengers
The wearing down of flanges on To-
comotives is only one minor eontribu-
tor to the long chapter of railway
accidents. Derailments arise either
from defective equipment, bad track,
or faulty switching. AS a rule, when
a locomotive jumps the track, the &C
cident is ascribed to some peculiar de-
feet in the track. rather than to in
ouAASAthb HduSluS On lnS iOCOnOllfb.
1t is undeniable that many supposed
rail defects are in reality the outcome
of defective driving wheel tires. The
Railway Age Gazette tells of 100 rails
on an Illinois railroad being broken
on one trip by a nattened driving
wheel The recently issued annual
report of the interstate commerce
commission shows that out of
S,215 derailments on American rail-
roads during the year, 3,S47 were due
to defective equipment an increase
Of 1923. Bad ties, loose spikes. poor
ballasting, insufticiently fanged
wheels, rail breakages due to fiattened
wheels, all played a prominent part in
causing these derailments. Fortunate
ly derailments of locomotives caused
by defects in their own mechanism OF
driving surfaces are comparatively
rare. The warning of the railway com
mission is not uncalled for. however
for a worn locomotive 1ange might
suddenly precipitate great disaster

A report disclosing the evil effects

issued by j L. Campbell, engineer of
maintenance of way of the Ell Paso

road can bear witness to the beneficial
effect of the absence of liquor as a re-

Adrianople has so often been sub
ject to battle, murder and sudden
death that its latest capture by the
Balkan allies will seem but one more
familiar chapter in its annals. Eight
cen hundred years ago it was taken
by Emperor Hadrian from the Resi-
tribe. In 1923 it was the scene of a
battle between Constantine and Ii
cinius, and here Emperor Valeus made
his great stand against the Goths In
1905, Baldwin, emperor of CONSTANT
nople, was defeated, made prisoner,
and killed by the Bulgarian Car Kalo-
yam, and finally the city was taken by
Murad l., and became the Turkish
capital and continued so until the fall
of Constantinople in 1853.

Answer to Query.

The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking of an oath is so ancient
that it would be futile to even attempt
to say when it started Homer at
tempts to say when it started. Homer
mentions it as common among the
Greeks of his time, and it is also found
in the earliest Biblical time. For in
stance, Abraham, the father of the
Jewish people, says Il have lifted
up my hand to Jehovah" showing that
even at that remote period the prac-
tice was existent. 1t was from the
Jews, of course, that the practice
found it's way into Christendom, where
it has ever since held its place in jul
dicial trials
