cHEhRFuL NATURES.

There are some features SO happily
constituted that they can find good in
everything. There is no calamity so
great but they can reduce comfort or
consolation from it. no skv SO black but
they can discover gleam of sunshine
issuing through it from some quarter or
another, and il the sun is not visible to
their eyes they at least comfort them
selves with the thought that it is there
and rejecting its rays on some one else.
Such happy thoughts are to be envied.
They have beam in the eye-a beam OF
pleasure, gladness, religious cheerfulness,
philosophy or call il what you will. Sun
shine is in their hearts and their mind
gllds with its own hues, all that it looks
npon When they have burdens to bear
they bear them cheerfully-not repining,
nor fretting, nor wasting of energies in
Useless lamentations, but struggling on
maniully. gathering up such flowers as
lie along their path. 1t is these large and
comprehensive natures that are the most
trustful, and the quickest to see the
moral sunshine cleaning through the
darkest cloud. In present evil they see
prospective good; in pain they recognize
the effort of nature to restore health; in
trials they find correction and discipline,
and in sorrow and suffering they gather
courage and knowledge and the best
practical wisdom.

CARELESS WORDS.

How frequently, in a thoughtless mo-
ment, or in sport, we utter words which
sink deep into some heart, inficting un-
told anguish, and blotting the pages Of its
life-book with burning tears Time may
heal the wounds and troubled waves may
be hushed into quletness; the fire that
scorched the quivering heart strings may
be quenched, but bitter ashes will ever
mark the pathway of those careless
words. 1t may be that weight of sor
row that bowed The fanting spirit to the
earth was rendered heavier TO be borne
by the added grief of thoughtess word
Perhaps an ungurded expression has
been uttered. and the tongue of malice
repeats it with new coloring, and
meaning never intended, and thus the
strongest ties of affection have been sew
cred.

NOW.
Today oyer Sc, 900 locomotives are
in motion over the 100000 miles of
trackage in the United States. They
consume about $50, 900 tons of coal
and carry over a billion passengers
and 800, 100000 tons of freight annu-
ally, After adopting the EngIish-horn
child OF civilization, the United States
took the lead in its development and
application until today it stands ais the
worlds greatest manufacturer of loco
motives. Besides making enough TO
meet the domestic demand. the Amer
lean manufacturers are shipping loco
motives abroad at the rate of dozen
week. They are laundering through
the mountains of South America and
over the plains and valleys of Africa !:
they are disturbing the calm of the
Orient, and are dashing from one end
of Europe to the other: they have in
vaded the land or ~, locomotives
birth, England. and are in use upon
its principal railways. Like the steam
ship, the locomotive is growing larger
and more powerful every year. The
largest reported to be in use today is
huge compound engine which meas
ures 120 feet over all and weighs $780,
900 pounds 1t is an oil-burner and
carries 1000 gallons of oil and 10000
gallons of water. It cost $43,SS9 to
build These giants have reached a
point where one locomotive is so long
that it is hinged in the middle with a
flexible joint so that it can turn a
curve without upsetting Thus the To-
connective has become the modern

Several years ago il became appar
put that changed conditions IN the Is
land. a. we'll as. advancement made by
Porto Ricans in the art OF civil gov
eminent. justified. and even drmann,
ed, more permanent and liberal
form Of government. These evidences
moved the House to pass new or
ganiC act in 1910. but the Senate fail
ed to indorse the measure, and the
Congress ended without action. The
matter is now taken up again, and
there is reason for believing that
there will be favorable action,
The most important provision of
the pending bill is that which besIOws
American citizenship upon all the
people OF Porto Rico who desire II.
These people are now merely citizens
of Porto Rico, and their information
al status is one that is the basis or
much complaint.
The bin also provides for an cleo
tive Senate to consist. of 10 members.
At present the legislative council OF
the island consists of II members APP
pointed by the president OF the United
States. six of whom are heads Of eN-
ccutive departments, and only five OF
whom must be natives.
Government Has Plan.
The theory of the pending bill IS
that the legislative branch of the gov
eminent should be separated from
the executive branch, except in so far
as the governor is given the power
of absolute veto over legislation. I'm
der the pending bill the Porto RiCans
will elect the members of both houses
of the legislative assembly.
There are now no educational or
property qualifications imposed upon
the exercise of the right of suffrage
in Porto Rico, but such qualifications
are imposed in the pending bill. which
provides that persons may vote who
are citizens of the United States,
more than q years of age, able to
read and write and the owners OF
taxable property in their own names.
1T is believed that these qualifica-
tions can be met by all who may de-
sire to become registered voters"
says Chairman Jones of the House
committee, who adds: at is believed
that those who are illiterate and who
own no taxable real estate should not
have the right of suffrage. No one
who has acquired the right to vote
before the passage of this bill, how
ever, will be disturbed in the eXer-
else of that right.

ing that Porto Ricans will be Amer

Chairman Jones Of the House com
mittee on insular affairs several
months ago favorably reported the
Porto Rican bill, which went to the
calendar i has been out of the queS-
ton to bring the bill to vote with
out a special rule, however, and so
nothing has been done. Now that
there is a likelihood that the recent
caucus action limiting the activities
of the House to the trust bills and
the appropriation bills will be act
aside by special rules brought in by
the rules committee, the friends Of
the Porto Rican bill have taken fresh
courage.
Special Rules Made.
The rules committee has already
agreed TO report a rule making prlVl-
legged the five conservation measures
which have the approval of the ad-
ministration, the cotton futures bill IS
scheduled for similar acton, and plans
are now afoot for including Porto Rico
in the program. There is also a
chance that the new Philippine gov
eminent bill will also be included,
thus insuring its passage through the
House at this session.
These bills will be put through the
House, ii would be expected, while
the Senate is busy debating the trust
bills and if that debate should run
along for a couple Of months, as
seems probable, there will be ample
time for the House to pass them.
According to this program an early
adjournment of the session would be
prevented.
Congress has been somewhat tardy
in doing justice to the Porto RiCans,
many public men say. The organic
act for that island, with one or two
unimportant amendments since made,
has now been in force for nearly IA
years, Notwithstanding the fact that

THEN.

THEN.
One hundred years ago today the
first locomotive in the world to sue
cessfully haul load of freight upon
rails made its maiden trip Invented
by George stephenson, the Father of
Locomotives, ii made its first run at
Killingworth colliery in England. 1t
had so many rods and cranks strapped
TO its boiler that ii had the appear
ance of a huge grasshopper. 1t
weighed six tons. A pair of walking
beams, resembling those of a modern
side-wheel steamer, turned the four
wheels. There being no cab, the en-
gineer had to stand while the engine
was in operation 1t pulled eight load.
ed cars, which aggregated a weight of
80 tons, up a track that had grade
of one foot in an eighth of mile. The
test was grand" success, the en-
CINE running about six miles an hour.
The first locomotive to draw train
of cars in the United States made its
experimental trip in the Lackawanna
coal district Is years later. This To-
connective was also the product of Ste
phenson. II was called the Stourbridge
Lion, after TIE place of its manufac-
ture in England. Its American engin-
eer, Horatio Allen, ran the engine over
a track of hemlock rails for preIim-
mary test. Then he invited any gdl-
tlemen in the gathering of spectators
TO accompany him. His invitation was
not only refused but he was urged to
give UP his foolhardy ambition.
Laughing at his advisers he pulled the
throttle wide and dashed" away at 10
miles an hour
