Horn Heralded Coming
of Early Locomotive

The earliest locomotives had Moth
ing more in the nature of a warning
of the engines approach than a tin
horn blown by the engineer at more
or less frequent intervals, but under
some circumstances this proved made
quate. The resulting volume of sound
depended largely upon the lung pow
er of the engineer and the direction
and force of wind.
On a spring morning of the year
1888 a farmer was driving to market
with a load Of butter and eggs and,
being unfamiliar with locomotives, he
loitered on the track too long and
failed to hear the warning signal from
the tin horn, whereupon the whole
outfit was scattered over the land
scape.
The bill which the company had to
pay was regarded as staggering and
Ashland Baxter, who was director of
the company concerned, paid a visit
to George Stephenson at Alton
Grange to confer with the great in
ventor to ascertain If something in
the nature of an adequate warning
could not be invented to keep people
off the track. The result was that
Stephenson made the steam whistle
which was Immediately adopted for
all locomotives then In use and has
continued as a permanent feature Of
all locomotives built In the mean
time.

Sad Indication

Some one had told the woman that
he was a backward boy. But as she
watched him playing in the sunny
nursery and listened to him chatting
he seemed to her quite normal-the
usual child Of four and one-half years.
1t was only later when she accom-.
panied him across the hall into his
mothers room that he made a queer
remark.
His mothers room was a spacious
one done in old blue, and as they en-.
tered 1t, his tall, bronze-haired mother
was standing before a fulI-length
mirror trying on chiffon negligee in
old gold.
The baby boy looked at the lovely
vision in the full-length mirror. "Oh
DEAR" he sighed. 1.-TWO mothers

Women of Old Egypt
Had Many Privileges

When the Rosetta stone was found
In 1899 and historians were enabled
to give the world a picture of ancient
Egyptian life many were astounded
at the station held by women in the
time of Rameses ii. The Egyptian
daughter Of that time inherited from
her parents an equal share with her
brothers; as a wife she was the real
and very active mistress of the house.
In fact, many records indicate that
the husband was little more than her
guest, a writer In the Kansas City
Times comments. She went and came
as she liked, talked with whom she
pleased without anyone daring to ques-
ton her actions, went among men
with an uncovered face and adorned
her face and form with all the liberty
displayed by her kind today.
Her gown was a smart short frock
cut decOllete, her lips were tinted and
her cheeks were powdered, her eyes
were coquettishly emphasized and to
her hair dresser she went once every
ten or twelve days. Ii she was the
wife in family in average circum-
stances she rose at daybreak, prepared
breakfast, sent the men off to the
workshop or their business, sent those
children more than eight years old to
school and the younger ones to drive
the geese or cattle to pasture and then
occupied herself with household du-
ties for the rest of the day. The
women of the higher social scale seem
to have done little except to lavish
time and attention on their persons
that they might appear to advantage
In their strolls and visits abroad.

Warriors Paradise

The word "Valhalla" means hall of

1t was the abode of 0din in Asgard
It was originally the home of the dead,
meaning something like the heaven

age 1t became known as the home Of
those who were slain in battle, a sort
Of warriors paradise. It was situated
in the region of joy. 1t contained
many halls hung with spears and

and supplied with food served by the

Bird Has Wide Ronpe

The sora Is bird of the rail fam
lily. This is swamp bird that lives
entirely in marshes, usually fresh or
brackish waters, and ranges over the
entire North American continent, as
far north as southern Canada. It win
tiers from the southern part of the
United States south to northern South
America. These birds are all poor fly
ers. They run through weeds and
rushes and have the appearance of be-
ing weak-winged. However, they make
rather long migratory flights. The
sora lays 9 to Is eggs. In some re-
gions the bird is hunted as game, and
an open season is provided by federal
law.

"Double-Crossin9"

Doctor Vizetelly says in regard to
the expression "double-cross" that a
New York boss in the early sos testi-
fled before an investigating commit
tee that when constituent asked a
favor he made record of the name
and fact and if he intended to grant
the petition marked a cross after the
name. Sometimes he would change
his mind, in which case he added a
second cross. In his testimony he
would say: 81 crossed Smith;
double-crossed Jones, etc." Possibly
this is the origin of the expression
"double-cross' as used today.

young gallants into the French for
eign legion, is pictured for the second
week at Loew's Columbia Theater.
Rarely has there been a story which
gripped the universal imagination as
forcefuliy as did this novel of ad-
venture and sacrifice, and the spirit
of the work has been graphically
translated to the silver sheet.
The sandy wastes Of the Sahara
are spread as background center of
this abyssmal loneliness and intoler-
able heat, the flag of a French fort
Zinderneuf, gives promise of life that
proves not to exist. Thus is the stage
set for the strange adventures which
follow. Intensely dramatic Is the
discovery of Zinderneuf, guarded by
its army of dead, speaking eloquently
of desperate ruse which had saved
the outpost from capture by desert
bandits.
The story is too we'll known to re-
quire retelling. Excellent characteri-
zation has brought it all vividly be-
fore the eyes, especially in the inter-
probation of the roles of Sergt. LIE
jaime and the three Geste brothers.
Ronald Coleman, in the title role,
plays his part with the beautiful
gesture" so finely drawn by the au-
thor as the characteristic trait Of the
elder Geste brother. Neil Hamilton
and Ralph Forbes give excellent ac-
count of themselves as Digby and
John Geste, respectively. Alice Joyce
and Mary Brian add the feminine
touch, the former in the role Of Lady
Brandon. and the latter as the sweet
heart of the younger Geste, the only
survivor of the African service.

pleasing orchestral overture are in
cluded as additional features.
