Rail Anti-Creepers,

One of the most troublesome diff
culties experienced in the mainten-
ance of railway tracks is the tend
ency of the rails to creep in one di-
Yection. Creeping is due to wave &C
ton induced in the rail by the pass
age of the heavily loaded wheels. 1t
is much worse on tracks in which the
travel is all in one direction, the
creep of course being in the direction
of the traffic. Much attention is be-
ing directed today to the arresting of
this movement, and several forms of
very efficient anti-creepers are upon
the market. They consist, usually,
of an inexpensive form of clip with
end jaws which engage the base of
the rail, the clips projecting below
the base and fetching up against the
adjacent ties, thereby locking the rail
to the roadbed against any longitud-
inal movement.-Scientitic American.

War Conductor Dead.

William CASTOR Smith, veteran rail
way conductor of 81 years continuous
service with the Southern Railway
company and trainman during the
Civil war, died at Anderson, S. c.,
after an illness of four months.
Captain Billy" as he was called by
his thousands of friends in that sec
ton of the country, was seventy-tive
years old. He was retired on full pay
by the railway company on January l,
1912.
Captain Smith had many thrilling
experiences as conductor during the
Civil war. After Lees surrender he
hauled two-thirds of the Confederate
forces under Lee and Johnson.
When Richmond was evacuated the
treasury and records of the Confed
eracy were shipped from Richmond tc
Winston, N. c., and thence were cart,
ed to Aston.
At this point Captain Smith, with
one other railway employee, kept guard
over the records and valuables, which
were packed in ammunition boxes
marked ammunition" and consigned
to Gen. Kirby Smith.
Captain Billy" and his companion
delivered the precious property tc
Abbeville, S. c., but it never reached
Washington, Ca, its destination, fol
the train was held up and raided il

MATCHED CHICKS ON TRAIN
Bantam Hen That Was a Pet Of All
the Men-Not So the Bel.
gian Hare.

On one Of our work trains in south
eastern Missouri few years ago we
had bantam hen for several weeks
that became the pet of all the men,"
remarked railroader. "On one Of
the cars that we used was an iron
box, uncovered, that the hen dis
covered. She picked this out for her
self. She laid nestful of eggs, then
went to setting, and finally Matched
out brood of chicks, and every day
we pulled down the track, without
disturbing her in the least. When
we would stop for while she would
jump from the train, scratch and wal
low in the dust, hunt something to
eat, and always be back in her box
when the train would pull out. 1t
got so that the men would look to
see if the bantam was on her nest be-
fore they would start the train.
THE smallest camp hanger-on that
ever encountered was big Belgian
hare that belonged to the foreman.
Nor was the rabbit particularly a
favorite with the men, for he would
fight anyone at any time, and even
the foreman had to watch him close
ly. The rabbit would jump at man
or beast with the greatest ferocity
and would leave the imprint of his
teeth every time. He would tackle a
dog or cat, and they would be glad
to get away after the first round"

You take chance at walking over

only ties and ties and ties.
You snap yourself into cement cav
