IN SHAPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
Remarkable Clock That Has Been Con.
structed by Ingenious Kansas Me-
chanIc-Eleht-Day Type.

Quite a curious clock has been con-
structed by a Kansas mechanic in
the form of a miniature locomotive.
The dial, which is made of imitation
ebony, is fixed on one side of the
highly ornate cab of the engine and
is studded with small ruby and green
colored incandescent lamps.
The interior of the cab is supplied
with several other tiny globes, while
the headlight, which is fitted with
both a reflector and lens, also mounts
a lamp. A switch controlled by
the clock automatically turns the
current on at six o'clock I'm the eve
ming and cuts It off 10 hours later.
The headlight, the lamps in the cab.
and those on the face of the clock
are wired in separate circuits.
Each OF these groups is flashed in
dependently OF the others at inter
walls of about 10 seconds and remains
lighted for a period OF approximately
three seconds. The clock is Of stand
ard make and of the eight-day type.
It strikes on the hour and half hour
by ringing the engine bell and while
doing this turns the driving wheels OF
the locomotive, which do not touch
the tiny rock-ballasted track on which
they apparently rest. A manual switch
at the rear Of the cab provides an aux.

Besides fur-fabrics, which gave
chance for welcome variety in sep
arate coats and jackets to be worn
with cloth skirts. corduroy has in
creased its popularity for this purpose
Like fur-fabric 1t is more effectively
used as wrap, with skirt of plain
material, than in suits and it makes a
handsome full-length coat for either
street or dressy wear.
Its adaptability to many purposes is
explained by its manufacture in many
colors and of cotton as we'll as wool
or silk. The quieter colorings are
chosen for utility coats. the bright
hues for sports coats, and the richer
qualities provide wraps for evening.
The last are almost always furnished
with big fur collars and cuffs.
An effective model in a corduroy
short coat is shown here. 1t is in taupe
color with collar and cuffs of the mate

covered with it. The skirt is of the

New WAY to Serve steak.

Perhaps you have grown tired OF
the usual way steak is served. If so,
try this. Buy a good thick one,
either sirloin or porterhouse. Season
slightly with pepper and salt, and
broil until it is moderately brown.
Have prepared enough chopped pars-
ley and white onion to cover it. Dot
1t thickly with dabs of butter and
bake in quick oven for five minutes.
The onion, parsley and butter sink
into the meat, the parsley absorbing
the strong flavor of the onion. Once
steak is served in this manner. the
usual fashion of serving it will seem
tasteless.

A Quaker fell asleep in meeting and
soon began to snore. For awhile the
nasal notes were soft and smooth and
did not disturb the worshipers, but
finally the sleeper let out a few ex-
ira kinks and the effect was a trife
disconcerting.
Friend Hezekiah," whispered an
acquaintance, digging the other in the
ribs. Il think thee had better arouse
thyself."
What did thee say? What did thee
say?" cried Hezekiah, somewhat con-
fused. What is the matter?"
Nothing, Friend Hezekiah," was the
quiet rejoinder of the other, only
thee was snoring a little, and was
afraid that outsiders might think the
spirit had moved thee to trombone
solo instead of an expression of thy
convictions. philadelphia Telegraph.

THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
OF looking upon their work, and it's
results with pardonable pride. IL they
"Reminiscences, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities. towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased. the bugaboo of
laborious work off the farm and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp OF manhood Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character Of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result of
his work. why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some OF this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg. when he said:
Il am not in the habit of giving adj
vice, but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get a piece
of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
1T was SO years ago when l first
came to Winnipeg" he said. AT that
time there were less than 100000
people west of Lake Huron In Canada,
and the only bit OF railway in opera.
ton was between St Boniface and EN-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and a quarter million, a won
derful achievement in such short Pc
Rod you will agree, when you have
contemplated It a moment"
AT that time all the -four, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to-
day. You have a grain production ex-
ceeding a billion bushels and yet only
a comparatively small area Of the till
able land OF the country is occupied.
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling that" Advertisements.
