IDEA WAS NOT STEPHENSoNS
Claim Now Made Timothy Hackworth
Was the Real Inventor of
Locomotive.

George Stephenson was one of the
first inventors of locomotives, and his
engine won the prize in the ceIebrat red
contest which is now history; but Tim
othy Hackworth's engine only broke
down owing to a piece of defective
blacksmith work. George Stephenson
was quick to see that he had won by
a fiuke, and that Hackworth's engine,
being fitted with his steam blast, which
vastly increased the rapidity of the
generation of steam, was the better
machine.
Being a shrewd and energetic busi-
ness man, as well as an inventor-and,
it must be added, not prescriptions
he forthwith appropriated the steam
blast idea without public recognition OF
Hackworth's invention of it, and went
on from success to success as engineer
and contractor.
Many years ago, at Darlington, Tim
othy HackwOrth's son showed me the
proofs establishing his fathers claims,
plans and drawings, newspaper arti-
Giles and correspondence of q hundred
years ago, and, think, an autograph
letter of George Stephenson admitting
explicitly or by implication, his indebt-
edness to Hackworth for the steam
blast, without which the locomotive
could not keep running steadily or, at
any rate, could not develop speed and
tractive power.-Edward Wilton In

as Hilary could retain his hold on
Pierre and keep him in this position he
was comparatively safe. But he had
no more than about fifteen seconds in
which to think out his next move. 1t
was all a question of muscular en-
durance. He could not hope to retain
his clutch on Pierre's throat with one
hand for many seconds, against the
force behind the outlaws shoulders,
and his strong. thick-set body. Sud-
denly he made up his mind He re-
leased Pierre, fiinging him backward
with all his might. Pierre fell against
Leblanc. sending him staggering; the
two elawed at each other and fell to

As Hilary released Pierre he caught
sight of Louis face peering across
Pierre's shoulder. The fall of the two
men left Louis Hilary's only immedi-
ate opponent. Hilary hesitated; in

Was Permanent Free >Luneber.

In the old Gays when every saloon
set free lunch there was a man who
worked in a railroad yard in Cincin-
natl and saved money, says the En-
quirer of that city. A saloon near the
yard served plate lunch free If you
bought two beers or spent 10 cents
over the bar. The man did not drink.
So he would go to the saloon every
day at noon and spend his 10 cents on
two packs of tobacco. Then they
would serve him lunch. Tine man
did not chew, so when he got back to
the yard he weuId sell the two packs
of tobacco for a dime. He used the
dime next day TO buy two more packs
and get lunch. Then he would sell the
tobacco again. In this way he ate
lunch for 300 days for nothing and
still had his. original dime. This is a
true story.

FIRST SYMPTOM OF DISEASE
Interesting Theory That Exhaustion
Is the Danger Signal That Must
Not Be ignored.

What will be interesting news to
great many will be found in the the
DRY advanced by a writer in the Lon
don Times, medical correspondent
who claims that exhaustion is the
earliest sign of disease. He explains
that he does not mean the familiar
feeling of tiredness due to ext rtion,
but inability to get the usual response
TO effort. When a man finds that ne
must exert more strength to get the
same result, or in the field of mental
effort that he cannot concentrate"
easily, he should realize that some
thing is the matter with him. The dis
covery of just what that something"
is, is the business of the doctor, of
course; but the exhaustion should
send its victim to his medical adviser
posthaste, provided, as has already
been said, it is something more than
healthy fatigue. For example,, the
writer says:
"a man has been accustomed to
walk up certain staircase briskly
and without any discomfort. But now
he finds that he has to slacllen his
pace q little or otherwise he will be
short of breath when he gets to the
top. Or, again. man discovers that
he is more than usually tired ut the
end Of his days work and rnat he
tends, in this state. to feel Il little
giddy or little nervous AMI irritable.
Or, again, person of even temper
begins to win q reputation for hasti-
ness. He does not concentrate so well
as he used to do, and small things ir-
ritate and annoy him. He is apt to
lose his temper.
"These men are I'll, and the limits set
upon their endeavors. mental or phys
ical, afford an indication of the extent
of their disability. They are not suf-
fering from muscular weakness in the
sense that their muscles are damaged.
They are not suffering from heart mis-
chief in the sense that they have any
heart disease. They are not suffering
from disease at all if by that term is
meant a breakdown of particular or
gan. But they are on the way to dis
ease, nevertheless.
Recent research has shown shat fa-l

really occurs in the brain and spinal
cord--in other words, that the brain
cells get tired before the muscles they
control. This explains why a man
who is tired out on one occupation be-
comes fresh and vigorous again when
he changes over TO another and so
employs a new set of brain ceIls-e. e.,
a game of golf after business. even
though the second occupation may
make greater demands on his muscles
than the first. Now if we realize that

system and not in the muscles. and If
we accept the view that the poisons
of many diseases act primarily IN this
nervous system. we see at once how il
comes about that the very earliest
presence of disease is shown by tired
hess. The poisoned nervous system
becomes played out sooner than the
healfhy one. And the rate of exhaus-
ton of the nervous system depends on
the amount Of poison present"

The Challenge.

HG OIdlCuASs
"Yes. sir, it was Morris who pulled
off that little affair at Ste. Marie"
said LATE, a few days later. That's
why he went TO see the revenue people
when he was in Quebec. And it's he
who spread the report that you were
at the back of it,
"4nd, like a fool, played into his
hands by-being at Simeon's just when
the raid came off," said Hilary.
Il guess that's the size of it, Mr..
Askew. You know how people are.
There amt no surer way of queering
a man anywhere, specially If he's
stranger, than to suspect him of SET

added. ''yOu heard that Simeon's back.
Hilary nodded "And running wide

"Well, l guess that hundred dollars
fine didn't hurt him much. But he's
mighty sore on you, Mr.. Askew. I'd
watch for mischief from that quarter"
Hilary agreed He did not know,
however, that LATE had learned from
Tremblay, the landlord-in some in
comprehensive manner, since he had
not acquired an additional word of
French during tire time which had
elapsed since Hilary's arrival-that
Simeon not only meant mischief but
was believed to be planning it.
However, the schooner had already
made one trip to Quebec, well loaded.
