the resolutions which these dele

ONE CENTURY OF RAIL
ROADS

This has been a remarkable year
for centennials, single, multiple and
fractional, says the Youths Com
panion. One Of the most notable is
the completion of a hundred years
since the first railway train, carry
ing passengers, travelled at the a
farming speed of more than ten
miles an hour, between Stockton
and Darlington in England. 1t was
on September 81, 1925, that this ex-
traordinary event occurred. A lit
tie locomotive, developed by George
Stephenson from the crude ma
chimes that had for several years
been used to draw loads of coal
or ore about the mines of York
shire, drew a train of open wagons
flat cars, we should call them to-
day-over the strap iron rails and
brought it's freight of human be-
ings safely to their destination,
much to the chagrin of those skep-
tics who had declared such a feat
impossible.
1t was a great occasion, greater
far than those who observed it ap-
preciated. 1t was the first step in
an absolute revolution in transpor
tation, the precursor of a succession
OF startling triumphs by mankind
over the limitations of time and
distance. 1t ushered in the age of
speed, and speed is one of the most

AND A HAPPY TIME WAS
HAD

Divorce is never to be encour-
aged, but nearly anybody can SYM
pathize with the wife whose hus-
band knew only four funny stories
and insisted on telling them. "Ey-
cry time we went to a party or the
home Of friends, my husband would
tell these STORIES" the wife told
the Judge. ut was all I could do
to refrain from screaming before
he finished" The judge under
stood. He granted a decree.
Fortunately, not many wives are
afflicted with persistent four joke
husbands, else the divorce dockets
would be crowded worse than they
are. Usually the wife has only to
put up with a one joke husband.
and so the anguish of the evening
is not so prolonged. One may sim
ulate wan smile while the hus-
band roars at his own cleverness
and soon have it over with. But it
is something that judicial cogni-
zance has been taken of this type
Of mental cruelty.
After all, only an utterly reck-
less husband will Insist on telling
+ his little joke in the face Of the
glance he knows so well. In an
| emergency there are various ways
Eof squelching a husband short of
the courts, as any wife knows. Up
to this time, however, there has
been no hope short of violence OF
coping with those Of our circle
who tell the same story over and
lover. whether funny or not, while
those who have heard 1t until they
Ecould tell it backwards must grin
and suffer. But now we can get
out injunctions against the hard:
ened violators. We can make them
think up something new, or let us
do the talking. For the courts at
last Have opened the way to ele-
vate social life to new altitudes.-
