close friend:
"Hum did it. The boy has been
drinking again. I first heard of their
reported engagement about two months
ago, before the courts had finished
with the first marriage. I wrote them
nbout it, and they denied it. I honestly
did not believe tiiat they were en
gaged." The couple went to West Palm Peach

Many people who know that the

tho whole country, and who under

phases and are more or less in touch
with its efforts for local community
benefit, still do not understand how
far-reaching is tho work of tho

the measures demanded havo since

while the demand for their further

Insistent than ever, as the grange in

It will be noted, in tho caso of all
these measures, that though aimed
primarily for the good of agriculture
and the benefit of rural life, they
nevertheless point the way towards
tho general good, and are in no
sense class legislation or In the

general policy of tho greatest good

James It. Steolo, Jr., of Owcgo,
has gone to New York at tho request
of tho chief englncors of tho Now
York Central, Lackawanna and Erio
railroads to demonstrate to thorn a
tle-plato for which Mr. Steelo has
filed an application for a patent. Tho
officials of all tho railroads In this
country havo for years be"on looking
for a satisfactory tle-plato, and if
Mr. Steele's Invention proves satisfac
tory, It Is probable that nil tho rail
roads will adopt tho use of tho plato.
Mr. Steele has been at work on the
plato for nearly two years, .but only
recently in perfecting It, so as to ap
ply for patent. By using this tie
plate no spikes nro Tequlrcd to fas
ten tho rail to the (lo. Tho plato is
fastened to tho tie by means of a
screw which is beneath tho rail. The
rails arc held to tho plato by Jaws
which aro diagonnlly opposite each
other. Mr. Steelo sent drawings of
tho tle-plato to the different engi
neers nnd rcoived word from Now
York Central railroad chief onglneor
that tho company would give a test
of tho tie-plate on a milo of track.
Two construction gangs, ono start
ing at Harvey's Lake and tho other
at Lopez havo been working toward
each other In grading a roadbed and
laying rails, and last week tho gap
was closod so that an accommodation
train can bo run through to Towanda.
Tho road is owned by Albert Lewis,
but the Lehigh Valley or Reading
road Is expected to acquire It soon
by leaso or purchase.
KAIMtOAI) .JIXGLE
AXI) ITS MEANING.
Trainmen Have Picturesque Phrases
lo Define Their World.
Trainmen's talk Is about as rich
In picturesque slang as any In this
land of free and fancy spoech. Some
of tho lingo can bo understood even
by tho outsider. A "side-door Pull
man," for Instance, Is a rather com
mon way of referring to a box car.
But most of tho phrase3 aro Greek
to the unltlated. " Taking her by tho
neck," for example, is used when an
engine Is made to pull a heavy
"drag" up a steep hill or around a
sharp curve, says the" Railway Man s
magazine.
Once at thf tnn nf thn rrndn tVm
"hogger" just "lets her drift."
"Plugging her" Is an old term, used
when the throttle Is closed by tho
quick motion of the left hand while
at tho same time the reverse lever
is thrown back with the right hand.
This Is not calculated to do any good
to engine frames and cylinders and Is
resorted to only in great emergencies.
It Isn't so common since the Introduc
tion of automatic air.
An old box car or a small building
occupied as tho yardmaster's office
Is known as the "doghouse." It Is
sometimes used to indicate tho small
four-wheeled caboose used by some
roads at tho tail end of freight trains.
This Is also called tho "hut," "crum
mie," "crum box" or "cage."
"Hitting the grit" Is what no train
man likes to do, but he sometimes
has to when a train Is running at full
speed and his only chance of not be
ing caught In, a wreck Is to Jump.
"Getting her down In tho corner" Is
lowest forward notch of the quadrant I
so xnai tne engine nas the full length
of the stroke."
"Patting her on tho back," Is an
expression used when the reverse lev
er is down In the corner and gradu
ally hooked up notch by notch on tho
quadrant as the saturated steam Is
worked off. "Making her pop" is to
maintain a firo so that tho Instant
tho cngino stops working sho blows
off.
To "keep her hot" is to maintain a
firo at a steady heat, thus furnishing
all the dry steam needed, no matter
how hard tho engine may bo working
or regardless of tho condition of tho
weather. As every fireman knows,
tho weather often tests tho mettle of
a "diamond pusher" on hard runs
with a heavy drag of "rattlers."
A thin plume of dry steam escap
ing from tho pop is "carrying a whito
feather." This usually occurs after
an englno has been working hard and
tho condition of roadbed and gradient
permits of the engineer easing her off
a little.
When nn englno has to haul a par
ticularly heavy load up a steep grade
It Is often necessary to "pound her."
Quick changes of temperature and the advent of spring
clothing are apt to induce colds, which, starting in the head
workv downward into the throat and air passages.
The important thing to do is to stop these colds in the start,
to insure prompt relief from the distress in the head, and to
open up the nostrils and insure free breathing. You can do this
with REXALL COLD TABLETS, our remedy for colds. It costs
but 25c. Sold By Us Only

The engineer gets over tho hill with
hor, but Is apt to strain tho englno
In so doing. Working an englno to
full capacity after sho has been re
ported for light ropairs which havo
not been given hor and working nn
cngino to a higher limit than her
builders designed Is nlso callod
"pounding hor."
A "dead cngino" 1b one without
firo. Steam is sometimes known as
"fog." Tho conductor of tho switch
ing crow Is tho "drummer," and tho
brakemen nro "shacks," "car catch
ers," "fielders" or "ground hogs."
The yardmaBtcr Is frequently known
as a "switch hog," and sometimes as
"tho big switch hog." Tho yard
master's offlco Is tho "knowledgo
box," and tho yard clork Is tho "num
ber grnbbor." Switching cars Is
"shaking 'em out."
A now fireman or brakeman Is a
"student." A "boomer" In tho strict
est senso of tho term is a man who
stays only about ono pay day on a
division. A locomotive engineer Is
known as a "boghead," "hogger,"
"eaglo cyo," "throttlo puller," "run
ner," or "englneman."
A locomotive Is called a "mill,"
"kettle," "scrap heap," "Junk pile,"
and frequently and familiarly refer
red to as tho "old girl." A fireman
Is known as a "tallow pot," and in
this day sometimes as a "stoker."
Freight brakemen nro called
"shacks," "strong arm," "twisters,"
"brakies," "cullies," and "dope art
ists." "Varnished enrs" aro passen
ger coaches. A "gon" Is a gondola or
coal car. A "steelgon" Is sometimes
called a "whalebolly."
