daughter to pray for the locomotive
and now at the eve of each day little
Marie prays for the safety Of this great
monster Of the rails which bears her
name.
Although he Is on leave OF absence
Mr.. Harrison has often run Marie"

and wanted to run her faster Marie"

at those exercises and also pictures Of
himself, his daughter and number Of
