EARLY DAYS OF RAILR0ADiNG
Horse and Locomotive Engine" Were
Used Unfortunately on Same
Line of Rails.

Certain Of the regulations in force
on the earliest railways built in Penn
sylvania read very Queerly in these
days. When the commonwealth
opened the Philadelphia and Columbus
railway, the theory was that the state
furnish the roadway and that one who
pleased could furnish his own vehicle
and motive power, and use the rail-
way whenever he wished by paying
the state tolls for its use, just as the
turnpikes of the day were used.
1t was soon discovered, however,
that certain character Of vehicle was
needed, and that rules and regula-
lions as to times and manner of US
ing the railways We're absolutely nee
essary to effect their successful opera
ton. Here are some adopted by the
canal commission for the regulation OF
the railway, which may be of interest:
Section 80. No Car shall carry a
greater load than three tons on the Co
lumbia and Philadelphia railway, nor
more than three and One-half tons on
the Portage railway, nor shall any bur-
den car travel at greater speed than
five miles per hour, unless the car body
and load shall be supported on good
steel springs.
Section 1O8. 1t shall be the duty Of
the conductors of cars moving with
less speed upon the railways, upon no
tice by ringing bell, blowing horn
or otherwise, Of the approach Of a To-
connective engine or other cars moving
in the same direction at greater
speed, to proceed with all possible dis
patch to the first switch in the course
of their passage, and pass off said
track until said locomotive engine or
other cars moving at greater speed
can pass by. The conductors Of the
slower cars are directed to open and
close the switches so as to leave them
in proper order. Any person who shall
refuse or neglect to comply with the
provisions Of this regulation shall, for
every offense, forfeit and pay the sum
Of ten dollars"
1t must have been a very interest
the locomotive engine" were used in
discriminatory on the same track, and
were struggling for supremacy as the
future motive power Of our railways,
and the approach of locomotive was
heralded by the footing of a horn
Even at that time the right Of way
was given to the fast horse.

PUTTING Ono Over,

Within few miles of Indianapolis,
a father and son owned adjoining
farms. The father, old and expert
enced in the ways Of farming, was In
the habit Of holding himself up as a
model to the son in the way Of early
production of vegetables for the market.
One summer each had a large field
of tomatoes on either side of the
highway.
Coming to market early in the sea-
son, and seeing some fine tomatoes
the son conceived the idea of "fool-
ing" father.
taking home fine big tomato, he
got wire hairpin and pinned the to-
mato in most conspicuous place, on
tomato vine whose fruit had not vet
begun to ripen.
Soon the father spied it and said,
excitedly: "Say, did you know that
your tomatoes are getting ripe al
ready" "Oh, yes" replied the son,
unconcernedly, "aren't yours?" The
father admitted that his crop had not
begun to ripen, am. after a moments
silence he said: "By heck, you beat
me this time"

Here is description of wood-saw-
ing: '"The man had brought his cir
cular saw and portable gasoline en-
CINE to the house. Carol knew
nothing of it until she heard the
ringing of the saw, and glanced out
to see Bijornstan in black leather
jacket and enormous ragged purple
mittens, pressing sticks against the
whirling blade and flinging the
stove-lengths to one side. The pile
grew astonishingly. The pale bark
of the poplar sticks was notified with
lichens of sage green and dusty
gray; the newly-sawed ends were
fresh-colored, with the agreeable
roughness of wooden muffler. To
the sterile winter air the wood gave
scent of March sap"
The next time any of you see a
saving machine at work, remember
this poetic description of it.
