Several Names Mentioned

In last weeks issue of The News
note that Mrs. Dudley, of the Glen,
didn't like the taste of the carp. Well,
if she had soaked them over night in
Yorkstate cider they would have been
quite palatable. But of truth / fear
Mrs. Dudley is as tickle in her tastes
as she is in her opinions. You re-
member last summer, when she was
trying to sic Percy Crossman onto me,
all the andirons and other weapons
of warfare in the Glen were at his dis
posal. But Percy wouldn't sic. Now,
Mrs. Dudley and Nancy Abbott of Ar
kansas are shooting bouquets at each
other. When boy gets to writing
poetry to girl it denotes the last
stage in the disease. Poor Xman!
His hopes, his aspirations, his eXpec-
tations have all gone sailing down
Durward's brook into the Wisconsin,
through that river into the MISSISSIPPI
pi, and finally are dumped into the
mighty waste of waters that comprise
the Gulf of Mexico. But remember,
am not relating this sad story through
sympathy. Oh, no. | have talked to
Percy till my head ached, but without
avail Time and again have l tried
to gather him under my wings even
as hen gathereth her chickens, but
he wouldn't gather worth a cent.

IMPROVED TORPEDO
FOR RAILWAYS

Because the railway torpedoes for
merly used occasionally slid from the
rail, particularly on grades, and so
failed to give the necessary signal, the
Southern Pacific company has adopted
an improved torpedo, says the July
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
new feature is a thin metal strip ex-
tending from one side Of the loaded
cap. This is laid lengthwise on the
rail, toward the approaching train.
The wheels strike the strip first and
so hold the cap in place until it is ex-
ploded.
