Mike. bill Edson," said he, "You re-
mind of something that once came to
my notice, because was in 1t. Must
be q matter of thirty years ago, now.
I was on my first passenger engine,
and beauty she was, thunderer for
those days, just out of the shops, and
| was prouder of her than | was of the
twins.
ut was along in the spring some
time, and the crews coming east all
reported worst food conditions ever
known. | brought my train down
over Harper's Ferry when the yellow
mud vas boiling down underneath
like as if all Niagara was let loose.
Got as far as Cumberland, and re-
reived orders to leave the train there
and take my engine back, run her out
On the Harper's Ferry bridge and
leave her there. Yes, sir, leave her
there. l didn't believe those orders
were straight until found out that
every other big engine anywhere
within reach Of the bridge had gotten
the same. Well, we did 1t; the
bridge was crammed full of engines,
ell the tracks would hold, by night
fall.
at wasn't until I got back to Balti-
more, some days later, after the flood
had gone down, that I got wind O.
the way 1t happened. John M. King
was V. p. in those days, and better
railroader never lived, bar none. He
happened to be in charge at the Cen
trail Building right then, and reports
of floods kept coming in and coming
in. and everybody got more worried,
One bridge after another went down,
one mile of track after another was
washed out. Finally some fellers
from the Maintenance of Way rushed
in and said the Harpers Ferry bridge
would sure be the next to go. King
thought minute, and then gave or
iers that every heavy engine the
bridge would hold should be run out
on her and left. They thought King
was crazy, but they didn't know him.
Why, Mr.. King, there's no use send
ing all that new rolling stock down
with the bridge, said one man; King
just gave him a look. IF the Harp
or's Ferry bridge goes down, son,
said he, we won't need the rolling
stock
"And say, Bill Edson," Mikes hand
was on the throttle and he'd got his
signal to pull out, "the Harpers Fer
ny bridge is still standing! guess
she'll carry you and me along for a
while longer. hey?'
And the point of the story is that
Bill Edison bought Liberty Bond the
next morning.

MISDIRECTED
 PERSISTENCY
Oscar Casheets, Wrangell Indian, Convicted for Twelfth Time
 of Drunkenness.

Oscar Casheets is only an un- uttered son of thc forest. but his per sistency would win for him fame and fortune if directed along right channels.
 On Tuesday Of last week Oscar completed 25O-day jail sentence nt Juneau for drunkenness. having been committed on his 1lth onense. Tuesday of this week he was again sentenced for the same oGense to lSO days in jail by U. s. CommIs- sioncr Henson.
 Oscar claims Wrangell as his home when he is not in jail, but he has seen SO little Of it during the past two years that it is doubtful if he would be recognized there again. He admits his weakness for booze and says he would willingly keep away from it if it would give him a chance. He philosophically says. "NIo see whiskey, me want him." He seemed rather pleased that he was to be returned to jail for the winter, which fact emphasizes tho necessity of arranging some sort of work for prisoners to perform while serving time for such petty offences as drunkenness.

NATIONS GREAT
 RESPONSIBILITY
Secretary McAdoo Makes Dignifed But Stirring Appeal to Amer
 ican Patriotism

In closing his address in connec ton with the second liberty loan, sccrc tary of the Treasury Hon. W. C. McAdoo used the following con vincing argument:
 "Fellow countrymon, we arc at one of those great points in tho progress of civilization where preg- nant issues for the whole human race are to be determined. It is on in- spring thought that noble, free, peaceful and liberty-loving America has been called by God to power fully influence. 1T not determine. the course of future events. We have a grave responsibility. and know that we shall discharge it worthily, of American patriotism and American idealism. These problems are of unparalleled novelty and magnitude. Tho means of determining action must frequently loo more instinctivc than logical. We are trayerslng un- known and uncharted seas. Our compass must be the steadfast CO., operation of the best wisdom and in- telligonco in tho country, inspired by a lofty patriotism which neither obstacles can discourage nor death defeat. Amorica's sacred rights must be vindicated; a just and last ing peace must be established; dem ocracy must be triumphant; despot- ism must be destroyed; and, when these great things have been accom' plished, everywhere throughout the length and breadth of the civilized world men shall proclaim noble America as the valiant knight who came upon the scene in tho black ness Of tho night and rescued civ ilizauon."
