Birthday of Locomotive

One hundred years ago the first
locomotive in the world To success
fully haul a load OF freight upon rails
made its maiden trip. An account Of
that trip, together with the work
done by the locomotive OF today, Is
given as follows IN the current mum
Der OF the illinois Central Magazine:
Invented by George stephenson, the
father OF locomotives" 1t made its
first run at Killingworth colliery, in
England. IL had SO many rods and
cranks strapped To its boiler that IT
had the appearance of a huge grass
hopper. n weighed about six tons.
A pair OF walking beams" resembl-
ing those OF modern side-wheel
steamer, turned the four wheels.
There being no cab, the engineer had
to stand while the engine was in oper-
alton.
1t pulled eight loaded cars, which
aggregated weight OF 80 tons. up a
track that had a grade OF one foot in
an eighth of mile. The test was a
grand" success, the engine running
about six miles an hour.
The first locomotive TO draw train
OF cars in the United States made it's
experimental trip in the Lackawanna
coal district 10 years later. The loco
motive also was the product of Ste
phenson. IL was called the Stour-
bridge Lion, after the place OF it's
manufacture in England. It's Ameri-
can engineer, Horatio Allen. ran the
engine over track OF hemlock rails
for preliminary test. Then he in
yited any gentleman in the gather
ing OF spectators, to accompany him.
His invitation was not only refused.
but he was urged 10 give up his fool
hardy ambition. Laughing at his adj
visers, he pulled the throttle wide
and dashed away at 10 miles an
hour.

Often the family lives in one Of the

manv people as in Chicago and New

naturally business is spread over vast

TIE House
Lite In

A wonderful tructure is this house
of mine. have lived in it only a few
minutes, perhaps, perchance the SHOWS
of many winters have matched it with
white. When first took up my abode
in it / was very ignorant as to the care
it should receive and others had to at
tend to it's upkeep. And althO I have
live DIN it for many years l confess
that even now often fail to give it
the attention that its great value to
me deserves.
But for fear that some may think me
boastful let me say now that the house
of which l speak is my body, and 81"
am you, each and every one who reads
these words or who hears them
read, especially you boys and girls
My house needs a new coat Of paint
The color must be like that which tints
the inner surface of the delicate hued
sea shell, the mingled colors caught
from bright eyed Aurora as she emerg-
es from her morning bath. To secure
this play of colors I will take in proper
proper ton the following ingredients.
Good fresh air at all times, both night
and day; plenty of pure water, applied
freely internally and externally; good
wholesome food well prepared and slow
~ eaten, for if mix this ingredient too
quickly will surely spoil the color and
get an ugly muddy effect; an abundance
of out Of door exercise; and last, but
not least, will add at least eight hours
of restful sleep.
AS l do not want my house TO stand
open for the curious eyes and unwel-
come presence Of any chance passer
to intrude l will hedge it about with
kindly protecting trees, When the days
are warm and balmy l will have the
cool but Opaque foliage of the costOn
tree which will effectually screen my
house from observation When the
icy blasts of winter come I will protect
my house from hurtful cold with the
warming fur trees, and hang about it
soft woolen draperies to keep out the
singing blasts. AS my house is my
most precious earthly possession I will
keep 1t sacred from the VULGAR gaze of
strangers at all times and seasons, for
what ever desecrates my house must
hurt me, too, who dwelIs within it. Ny

one has wisely said, "a mans life is an

ors in the order of dark blue, dark
