We herewith present a picture of a
noted lowa onaracter, known aa
"Stormy Jordan." He keeps a sal®on
In Ottumwa, la., which a number ot
Tears ago he called "The Road to Hell."
'fee saloon was in the basement of a
railroad eating house. Onee, when on
the witness stand, Jordan was a»ked
his occupation. He said he sold "nose
paint." He has had a hard tussle with
the prohibitory law and had been fined
jxxid refined; has been in prison and
' been pardoned out, conditioned that he
wouldn't sell again. He violated the
"■TOBirr aoBDAjr."
pvdoo issued by GOT. Larrabee, and
for the past two years has been selling
nose paint as usual.
Jordan's name is "Kinzey," not
"Stormy," and he claims to haTe spent
• fortune in front of the bar before
going behind it. He enjoys his present
notoriety. The name of his saloon was
given to it by Gen. J. B. Weaver, the
noted greenbacker, while engaged in
prosecuting Jordan many years ago
for selling whisky in violation of law.
Jordan has a family of several children
and is noted for the large amount of
■rood nature mixed with his cussedness.

After trying to sell books, pictures and

thuught there was no chance for a pout
man to earn a living. There was nothing
to do on the farm, and I could not get a
job iu town, when 1 happened to seo how
a teacher made money selling platers and
thought I would try my lurk. I bought a
#5 Lightning Plater from 11. F. Delno A
Co., Columbus, Ohio, aud from that day
my luek seemed to change. I carried the
plater from house to houie uud plated
Knives, forks an 1 spoons, right before the
folks, aud it is surprising how many want
their things plated. I made W. 70 the first
day, and in one week S2B. I can plate

fine, my customers are pleased aud I am
happy. I hope some other fellow, who is
down on his luck, will see this and do as
I have done and get up in thi« world - •

THE CHAIILES DICKENS.
An English Locomotive That Haa
Quito a History.
A Short Time Ago It C»»»leted Its Mil
lionth Mile —The Amount of Coal It
Consumed—Features of Eng
lish Railroading-
The London & Northwestern Railway
Company's engine "Charles Dickens,"
built at the company's works, Crewe,
in February, ISS'2, or rather over nine
years of a ge, completed her millionth
mile a short time ago. During this period,
says the London Pall Mall Budget, she
has been running daily between Man
chester and London (Sundays ex
cepted), covering the journey in four
and a quarter hours, a distance of
183 X miles. Timed to leave Man
chester at 8:30 a. m., she calls at Stock
port, Stoke, Rugby, Bliaworth and
Willesden, finally arriving at Euston
at 13:40. Having discharged her valu
able cargo, she is conveyed to the shed
at Camden, there to be cleaned, coaled,
oiled and thoroughly overhauled ready
for the return journey.
Returning from Boston at 4 o'clock
p. m_, she calls at the same stations,
with the exception of Bliaworth, a call at
Lichfield being made in lieu. Arriving
at Manchester at 8:15, she completes a
hard day's run of 367 miles, apparently
none the worse and greatly to the
credit of her engineer. Two drivers,
with their stokers, are provided for
this engine, working the journey upon
alternate days, the strain upon one
man day after day being considered too
much. A driver named Mills has been
running with the engine since tho com
mencement, but Lia fellow driver filled
the place of one now dead.
The "Charles Dickens" is a fine pow
erful-looking engine, apparently now
as fit for the express service as she was
half a dozen years ago. Of course, since
she was first launched into the world
many improvements have taken place
anil new types of engines been built,
liiiL
THE CH-AJRI.ES DICKENS.
but, ill face of a'l this, she still holds
her own upon the iron road, demanding
some amount of praise when you come
to consider the thousands of valuable
lives she has safely conveyed between
the two great cities without the slight
est mishap. In construction this engine
is typical of many running upon the
same system, beitfg what Is generally
known in engineering phraseology as a
six feet six four-wheel, coupled passen
ger engine; in length about fifty feet,
and weighing about thirty-three tons,
with an additional twenty-five tons for
the tender, which is constructed to car
ry about eighteen hundred gallons of
water.
The amount of coal consumed av
erages some 80 lb. per mile, causing a
loss of 240 lb. of water, equivalent to *4
gallons, which is thrown off in steam.
This being the case, it is necessary to
take in fresh supplies upon the jour
ney. For this purpose long semicir
cular troughs have been placed be
tween the rails, which enable the driver
to lower a kind of scoop into the
trough, which is always filled with
water. The rate at which the engine
is traveling forces the water up by the
aid of the sooop into the engine tank,
thereby saving an immense amount of
time, trouble and inconvenience over
the old method of stopping the train to
take in water. Up to quite recently
the London A Northwestern was the
only railway that worked upon this sys
tem. These water troughs are about
600 yards long, and there are three sets
between London and Manchester, one
between Pinner and Busbey, another
between Castlethorpe and Bletchley,
and the third between Tamworth and
Lichfield An engine of this descrip
tion, starting out with her tank fully
charged with water, would probably
run with safety fifty miles before re
plenishing. The average load is about
nine or ten carriages, and her highest
speed has been known to attain seventy
miles an hour when the road is excep
tionally favorable; but her average
speed would be about forty-five miles
an hour. In conclusion, it may not be
out of place to remark that the same
railway consumes some three thousand
tons of coal daily for its two thousand
five hundred engines, while twenty
thousand tons of water are boiled every
day and converted into steam.

Once upon a time a yonng man named

I did not think of advertising this fall, but I met a man who asked me
who 1 was. I told him
Heck, The Champion Olotliier <fc Furnisher.
And strange to say, he informed me that he bad never beard of me. Weill
it is jost rucb people we are after, and if tbU should catch their eve, we
hope human curiosity will lead them to read it for it is one of the commonest
traits of the race. It was curiosity that led Eve to taste the forbidden fruit;
and ber offspring have their curiosity excited every day as a hereditary
temptation, from the small boy everlastingly peeping into boxes to the
hired-girl with her eye to the key hole. Eveybody wonders wbat is in it.
Properly directed, this curiosity often leadg to satisfactory results, and D.
A. Heck invites all curious people to make a voyage of discovery to his storo
