Three days later Allison went into the annual stockholders meeting of the L. and c. railroad, and registered majority of the stock in that insig nificant line, which ran up the shore , opposite Crescent island, joined the Towando Valley shortly after its emer gence from its hired entrance into New York, ran for fifty miles over the roadway of the Towando, with which it had a longtime tracking contract and wandered up into the country where it served as an outlet to cer tain conservatively profitable terri tory.
 The president reached for his gavel and called the meeting. The stock holders, gray and grave, and some with watery eyes, drew up their chairs to the long table; for they were direc tors, too. They answered to their names, and they listened to the min utes, and waded mechanically through the routine business, always with their gaze straying to the new force which had come among them Every man there knew all about Edward E. Ali son. He had combined the traction in. terests of New York by methods as logical and unsympathetic as geom- etry, and where he appeared, no mat ter how pacific his avowed intentions, there were certain to be radical ur- heavings.

 Edward E. Allison waited just long enough to vote his majority stock, and left the meeting in hurry, for he had an engagement to take tea with Gail Sargent.
 He allowed himself four hours for sleep that night, and the next after noon headed for Denver. On the way he studied maps again. but the one to which he paid most attention was new one drawn by himself, on which the various ranges of the Rocky Noun tains were represented by scrawled, lead-penciled spirals. Right where his thin line crossed these spirals at converging point, was Yando chasm,

a pass created by nature, which was the proud possession of the Inland Pa cific, now the most prosperous and di- rect of all the Pacific systems; and the Inland, with an insolent pride in the natural fortune which had been found for it by the cleyerest of all engineers, guarded its precious right of way as no jewel was ever protect ed. Just east of Yando chasm there crossed a little "one-horse" railroad which, starting at the important city of Silyerknob. served some good min ing towns below the Inlands line, and on the north side curved up and around through the mountains, ram bling wherever there was freight or passengers to be carried, and ending or the other side of the range at Mug get City. only twenty miles north of the Inland's main line, and a hundred miles'west, into the fair country which sIoped down to the Pacific.

A MATTER OF MEDICINE.

For many years Doctor Eustachy
had been the leading physician of Per-
tuis, a town in the south of France.
His professional reputation was so
high that he often was summoned to
distant places, and many people Won
dered why he persisted in hiding his
light under a bushel, by dwelling in a
country village; but the doctor held
that it is better to be first in Per-
tuis than second in Paris.
Personally he was not exactly popu-
lar, because Of his temper, over which
he had poor control. Small things ex-
asperated him to an unseemly de-
gree, and when he was warm under
the collar 1t took him long time to
cool down. So it happened that when
Doctor TOurnatOire arrived in Pertuis,
announcing that he had come to stay,
and was prepared to furnish pills in
any quantity, many Of the leading citi-
Gems, who were tired of Doc Eus-
tachy's tantrums, gave the young man
the glad hand.
Tournatoire had been graduated
from the best of medical schools, he
was highly recommended, and he soon
demonstrated that his skill was great.
His manners were most engaging, and
he had comforting way with patients
that was quite as effective as his medi-.
cine. He became popular at once.

CLOCK HOLDS SHIPS SAFETY
chronometer .. the Most Wonderful
and Accurate Timekeeper
III -, 4.s Made.

A ships chronometer is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon its accuracy depend
the lives Of all on board. So accurate,
indeed, is a ships chronometer that it
does not vary second day.
An error of only few seconds may
put q captain of a vessel miles out of
his reckoning at sea, and run the ship
into great danger. For that reason
every ships timepiece goes through
the most thorough tests before it is
pronounced perfect.
1t is set going in a very hot room
and then transferred to cold one. for
1t may be used in any part of the
world, from the polar regions to the
tropics, and it must always keep good
time.
Most large vessels have three chro-
nometers on board in case of accidents,
and whenever vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see If they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amidships
because there is the least motion and
the smallest variation of temperature.

HAVE TWO QUEER sCARFPINS

age Of Birds in Works
of Art.

Governor Brumbaugh and Col. Louis
j. Kolb are wearing the most unusual
scarfpins in PENNSYLVANIA.
l have not seen anything quite so
thoroughly oriental since was in
China, says Philadelphia Ledger
writer. That is where the piece de
resistance of these two pins came
from.
You have doubtless seen beautifully
decorated enamel watch cases and
whatnots. Well, the Chinese artists
do their coloring and decorating with
the bright feathers Of birds. l saw
them ut that sort of work in Canton
pasting the tiny pieces upon metal
and glass and ivory.
Colonel Kolb recently bought some
very handsome pieces from an Amer
lean art collector and he had two
scarfpins mounted on gold. the ORR
entail work in both is identical, and
consists of two brilliantly-colored
birds upon field as big as dime, and
all made from the feathers of real
humming birds.

making similar articles that IL pro-
tected the color in a birds feather
would not fade in thousand years.

Timepieces' "IIIs.''
MUCH LIKE HUMAN BEINGS
Get Cranky With Weather Changes
and Have to Be Looked After,
SAYS Man Who Has Wound
Clocks for 80 Years.

Philadelphia.-The rheumatic clock
has been unearthed, its symptoms and
ailments resemble those of the man
whose bones ache and whose limbs re-
fuse to perform the functions assigned
to them without protesting and lag
ging.
In order to support this declaration
It is necessary to Introduce Charles
G. fancy, veteran clock wtnder and
chronometer surgeon, who looks after
something like 500 wall clocks which
mark time in the various Offices OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, its subsidiary
lines, its hundreds of offices, Its ferry
boat clocks, and the big tower clock at
the foot of Market street.
Thirty Years a Winder.
fancy is sixty-seven years old. and
for 80 years has had entire charge OF
the clock department of that system,
his territory including all Of this city.
Camden and several suburbs. He re-
Gently celebrated the completion OF ~
years of service as chronometer spe-
cialist. In two more years he will be
retired on pension.
For 80 years he has been winding
500 clocks each week, doctoring them
when they were sick, making new
parts for them when the old ones were
worn out, and otherwise keeping them
up so as to save them from the scrap
pile. With his little ladder and tool
bag he has become well-known figure
and fixture to every one Of the thou
sands of employees Of the Pennsylva-
mia system-so much so that when he
celebrates his 30 years they expect to
remember him with q token for his
faithfulness.
Clocks Get Cranky.
"Clocks are like human beings" he
says. "They get cranky with weather
changes and have to be looked after.
In wet weather they lag and have to
be speeded up like the man with rheu-
matism. l have a number of clocks
which have been in constant use for
forty years, ten years longer than I
have been looking after them. Their
pinions are old fashioned, made of
brass, and they will partly wear out
and need treatment. Their symptoms
are like those of human beings.
"The big tower clock at the foot Of
Market street gets troublesome in wet
and freezing weather. The hands
freeze together, and then we have to
climb up and knock off the ice and
loose them so that they will move
again."
fancy recently asked for and was
given an assistant, whose name Is J0-
seph A. Ballinger, and when fancy Is
eventually retired on a pension Bal
linger will step into his duties and
continue the ministrations to the time
pieces which thousands of people daily
scan.

"park Liohtnino."

The expression dark lightning
seems to be paradoxical. As matter
Of fact dark lightning is product of
the laboratory. In the development of
camera plates that have been exposed
to lightning flashes some of the streak
images are reversed. This is thought
to be due to overexposure. Prints
made from the negatives show the
streaks as dark lines, hence the ex-
preston dark lightning" The path
of a lightning flash is frequently shift
ed by wind. The action Of the wind
appears to broaden the line of light
ming until 1t resembles ribbon. The
uniform broadening along the entire
length of a lightning flash has prob
ably never been observed.

Tournatoire returned from his Office
to his home on some errand, and. upon
entering, was astonished to find his
wife trying to stand on her head. AS
sisting her to her feet, he asked her
what she was trying to do, and she
began explaining that all her relatives
were dead, her husband killed in a
duel, and she wanted to die herself.
The pupils of her eyes were extraor-
binary dilated, and she acted like a
woman both crazy and blind. The
doctor, alarmed, went into the kitchen
to question the cook, and found her
trying to put the dog in the stove.
The dog was a large one, and defended
itself heroically, but the cook seemed
to have superhuman strength, and she
considered the work Of cremation
highly important. The doctor rescued
the dog, and tried to get some in
formation from the woman, but she
would talk of nothing but death. Ev-
erybody was dead, she said, and she
had received spirit message ordering
her to put the dog in the stove. Her
eyes also were dilated, and she seemed
half blind.
A layman in such painful position
would have thought it plain case of
insanity, but the doctor, after a mo-
ment's consideration, decided what
was the trouble.
"They have been poisoned with sui
plate of atropine," said he, and gov
erned himself accordingly, to such
good purpose that the two women were
cOnvalescent in a few days.
They explained that they had each
eaten a thrush that morning, and sick
ness followed, and they remembered
no more. The doctor examined the
remaining birds, and found them sat
urated with the poison. The news was
made public, and it was taken for
granted at once that Eustachy had
been playing another VI his pranks.
The old doctor was arrested, and
strong evidence against him soon was
Forthcoming. 1t was easily established
that he had bought atropine paste Of
druggist; also that he had won q
prize of game in a local lottery, and
his prize was six thrushes. When the
evidence thus became formidable the
old doctor confessed, but said that he
was merely trying to play practical
Joke on Tournatoire. The courts Of
France, like those of the other coun-
tries, had not much appreciation Of
humor, so Eustachy was convicted and
sentenced to eight years Of toll with
out recompense in prison.
So this eminent physician, wearing
letters, left the town where he had
long been honored and respected, to
take his place among felons. and all

The Spanish king is probably the
most enthusiastic royal sportsman
among all Europe's crowned heads. He
rides well, plays good game of polo.
and can hold his own on the tennis
courts. The photo was taken when
he was watching bull fight in Madrid.
King Alfonso a few days ago was
the recipient Of note from the kali
ser. The letter was delivered by Lieu
tenant Won Arnauld, commander of
U-35. 1t is believed that the letter
was an expression of the emperor's
thanks for the attention given by
Spain to interned Germans. The sub
marine feat was unusual in that the
U-boat received no aid on its long trip
of over 1,5OO miles; trip made from
the Austrian naval base of POla in
the upper Adriatic to Cartagena in the
Mediterranean.

WOMEN ACT AS "DRumMERs'
Wives Of British Travelling Sales.
men Take Husbands
Places.

London.-The wives of British trav-
cling statesmen are taking over their
husbands rounds, according to
statement by the secretary Of the
Unitec Kingdom Commercial Travel
er's association, and increasing num-
bers of women are appearing on the
road.
The manager of one firm which has
been experimenting with women trav-
elers says of them:
1.-THE orders are quite up to the old
standard. They come in as regularly
as clockwork and are models of neat
ness and cleanliness.
II do not think that, as rule. wom-

work. Often there are many days of
disappointment, and women are apt
to take 1t to heart"

HOGS BECOME INTOXICATED
They Were Made Drunk by Eating
Sour Cherry Pits Dumped Into
the Stop.

Narka, Kan.-Some of the citizens OF
Narka had the opportunity few days
ago of witnessing number of intoxi-
Gated hogs. v. H. Greuter, the owner,
noticing their queer actions and think
ing the animals sick, called local
veterinary, who after careful examina-
ton pronounced them drunk.
Then the owner began to figure out
where they had found the booze in pro-
hibition Kansas, and finally concluded
that his swine had become intoxicated
from cherry pits dumped into the slop,
and these, standing in the barrel for
several days, had gone through pro-
cess of fermentation.
