? A REAL TEST OF NERVE. J

* BY EDGAR WHITE. A
Some years ago an eminent railroad
man said: "They will build engines
that will heat a mile a minute dash
with a heavy train, but to operate
them successfully you'll have to in
vent something besides flesh and
blood."
And the tenderfoot who has clung
to a fireman's "seatbox" while the
machine under him was spinning out
the miles at that rate will vigorously
second the statement.
But that assertion was made baclc
yonder in the 19th century. This is
the 20th.
The Burlington had completed Its
eastern cut off to the Mississippi riv
er, and one locomotive was covering
the division between Brookfleld and St.
Louis, 175 miles.
The Northern Pacific express
reached the mid-Missouri division 50
minutes late. The engine hauling it
was sending aloft a geyser of steam
from the safety valve and quivering
all over as if enraged that in spite
of its best exertions this dishonor had
attached to it. And the engine driver
was mean enough to slander i„ by say
ing, "She just wouldn't make steam."
If the machine could have talked it
would have said something about
"nerve."
A helper leaped into the cab as the
engineer stepped off, and ran the en
gine down to the tracks leading to the
round house. Then there was slowly
backed up to the long line of vesti
buled coaches that had come in from
the Coast, a double compound, a type
recently adopted by the road. The
coupling was made so gently that the
most sensitive passenger could not
have told when the tender struck the
front express car. The engineer, "Aus
tralian Jack," as the boys called him,
walked over to the fireman's side and
looked down the depot platform,
where trucks of baggage and express
were being noisily wheeled about. A
tall man with an iron gray mustache
emerged from the crowd and walked
up to No. 850—Jack's engine. He was
superintendent of the lines in Mis
souri.
"Jack." he said, "wo'ro nearly an
hour late. The president and two of
the directors arc along, and they want
to catch the Iron Mountain at Union
station in the morning. There's a big
consolidation meeting of the Southern
at Momphis tomorrow, and they have
to be there. They won't wait for them
if they're late. Blossom lost time out
of the junction because he was afraid
of the .new track work, and,the 'big
una' are 'most wild. Yoii understand
wHat this means to me."
Australian Jack touched his hat and
Inclined his head a little, but said
nothing. As the superintendent tu-ned
away a messenger boy rushed up tow
ard 850. The official stopped him and
took the message from his hand. He
said: "Never mind; Jack don't want
that now. I'll give it to him at the
station."
When 850 started there was no slip
ping of the drivers, no sudden jerk
and shutting off of the steam. The
engineer clasped the lever with a vel
vet touch and the wheels began to
move. The start was so gradual that
the great men, who were smoking their
cigars in the rear compartment of the
president's car frowned and wondered
if the man at the throttle was of the
sort that could gather up that 50 min
utes out of a schedule that called for
nearly 00 miles an hour.
"I think Jack will make it all right,"
said the superintendent; "hut I'm
afraid I played him a scurvy trick to
night, and one for which he will nev
er forgive me when he learns the
truth."
"What was that?" said the presi-
Cent
"Well, his mother, who lived down
the road a piece, had been unwell for
several days, and just before starting
the telegraph boy went toward the en
gine with a telegram. I knew it
wasn't a train order because they were
all In. It struck me that Jack had
better not get the message just then,
and 1 took it. It was from his sister
and Eimply said, 'Mother is dead.'"
concluded the superintendent, with a
sigh. "It was too late to get another
man, and I didn't 'ell him."
"And he is ignorant of his misfor
tune?" said one of the directors.
"Of course," answered the superin
tendent "It might be dangerous to'
let him know while making the sort
of run he has to make tonight." The
cpeaker judged from sharp experience.
The men smoked their cigars in si
lence. The smooth rolling cars bo
gan to gather momentum, but there
was no jerking, no swinging of the.
solid train —just an easy slipping along
as a pneumatic tired buggy might run
over a velvet carpet.
The superintendent explained the
distances between the stations and
the men who had thousands at stake
on the success of the run got out pa
per and figured the rate at which the
miles were being thrown behind. The
24 miles to Macon were made in 39
minutes —the numerous coal switches
In Macon coun'.y being responsible for
the loss of fivo minutes. This made 55
minutes behind, and the railway mag
nates gloomily shook their heads.
"Boys," said the president, "I'm
afraid the jig is up. He'll never make
it. It's queer they refused to postpone
that mooting; guess they don't want
us there."
The superintendent locked at the
floor and said nothing. It scented to
impatient men in the rear car
that the express and baggage men at
Macon would never get through. At
last the signal was given, and the
train started out on the now St. Louis
cut off. After creeping through the
yards, it came into the open and
plunged through the rich farming
lands, where the early pioneers of the
middle west had fought Indians, lev
eled the great forests, and made his
tory. The rock ballast road bed was
as level as a billard table, and Austra
lian Jack had struck the schedule gait
before the officers realized it At a
tiny station, 10 miles northwest ol
Paris, the superintendent noted his
watch. Within 10 minutes the roar
of the rushing express train started
the echoes in the drowsy county seat
of Missouri's Democratic Gibraltar,
Monroe county, and a minute after
wards the red lights oa the rear car
were disappearing in the direction of
the Mississippi. There was hut one
more stop until the Missouri river was
leached, and the superintendent knew
Jack would make the run of his life
to Old Monroe.
The next 10 miles was made in eight
and one-half minutes. Then the en
gine settled down to work. Tho rate
was increased to 10 in eight minutes;
then in seven; then in six, which was
tho limit and which was held without
deviation. The president dropped back
ir. his chair. He knew tho man in
front was doing everything humanity
could accomplish. Out of every 10
miles traversed he was placing four
minutes against the 55 on tho debit
side, and if the gait was kept up to
the city limits the train would back
into Union station exactly on time.
A3 the early dawn of the Juno morn
ing crept over the Mississippi, the lim
ited crossed the lino of Audrain and
invaded the soil of old Pike, tho start
ing point of so many of Missouri's
worthy sons. Some of the passengers,
scenting the approach to the river,
walked out into the vestibules to look
at tho scenery in the twilight. Then
they noticed something of which they
had been unaware while lying in their
chairs—that the miieposts and other
objects were whizzing past them at a
rate they had never before experi
enced in all their lives. It was hard
to believe that gently rocking train
was annihilating distance at the rate
of SO miles an hour, but that is the
story the miieposts told.
At Old Monroe there was a wait.
The dispatcher had calculated on a
run of only GO miles an hour out of
Macon, and had permitted a north
bound train to leave West Alton on
the iimited's supposed lost time. The
president and directors frowned and
began to look anxious again. Ten min
utes were placed on the wrong side
of the ledger. Tho officials from their
observatory glared at the innocent
freight engineer, and tho president
said something the Sundays schools
books don't approve of.
It seemed to long this time before
850 struck the maximum that the pres
ident thought the engineer must have
abandoned the task. He suggested
that the superintendent go forward
and see what the matter was, but that
gentleman said:
"We are on a gradual grade, and
have an unusually heavy train. He's
doing the best ho can. I think ho'll
make it."
Along the river before striking the
bridge is a level stretch of road, about
the best on the system. When 830
reached it she "jumped" like a race
horse. it was the ilvst jar felt by the
passengers during the trip from the
central Missouri division. Along hero
(he speed of the train was little short
of a hurricane. The section was cov
ered before the passengei'3 hardly re
alized they were on it, and the traiii
leaped over the bridge without dimin
ution of speed. Then a smooth road,
a few turns, and the heavy fog of tho
city obliterated the appearances of
day. The officials looked at their
watches.
"There's only one way he can make
it," said tho president. "Will there
lie much travel over tho streets this
early do you think?" ho asked the su
perintendent.
"There'll be some," that officer re
plied, "but they'll open the bell valve
and take the chances, if we don't
strike anything you'il reach the sta
tion to the second."
Along the winding, wriggling track
p.round the lumber yards, warehouses,
glue works and factories the nerve
racking rate was held with death-like
tenacity. At one crossing a team es
caped annihilation by' hardly a hair's
breadth, and the men who looked out
of the glass windows in (ho rear could
see the driver and several people ges
ticulating and shaking the fists in
their direction. A policeman standing
ill a-saloon door scowled and wrote
something in his note book. With a
roar and a rush the train shot up on
the elevated, flew past the ancient
levee warehouses, around the tene
ments in the southern district, and
then took one strand of the web south
of Union station and followed it to a
given point; then stopped and slowly
backed into the sheds.
"Gentlemen." said tho superintend
ent. "the Iron Mountain Is over on tho
10th track. Y'ou have three minutes
to roach it." He then hurried to the
front of the train. Australian Jack
leaped from his cab and waited. His
face Was as pale as death and his lips
twitched. Soldiers tell us the bravest
men lose their nerve after the battle.
"Jack, my boy," told the superin
tendent. "you've dono me a good turn
tonight and I fear I've done you an
ill one. I got this message for you at
Brookfield. and wouldn't deliver it
then because—because—because—"
"For fear I'd flunk," said Jack. He
took the paper mechanically. He
didn't start, as the superintendent ex
pected, but folded it and put it in his
pocket
"I saw tho boy hand you the mes
sage," said the engineer, "and you road
it and looked at me. That told me the
Btory. I knew then my poor old moth
er was dead, because she had been
very ill and my sister had agreed to
tell me how she was just before wo
started. I knew the worst had hap
pened when you did not give the mes
sage to me." And Jack sat down on
the step of the tender and buried his
face in his arms.
The superintendent reverentially
took off his hat and looked across at
the network of tracks and moving
switch engines. He appreciated his
subordinate's devotion to duty because
lie himself had risen through efforts
of a kindred nature. —The Criterion.
QUAINT AND CURIOUS.
Tho Saxons, whoso original settle
ment is determined by the little king
dom of Saxony, derived their name
from the seax, or short, crooked knife
with which they armed themselves.
An old dining table at which Prince
Charlie dined when he marched into
England was exposed at a sale of
household furniture at Moffat, Dum
friesshire, recently and was knocked
down at 30 shillings.
The word rival at first meant a
brook, then was applied to the per
sons who lived on opposite sides and
quarrelled about the water, and still
later it was understood as applying
to contestants for any desired object.
When the King of England goes
a-traveling he does not jump an ordi
nary train and take any vacant seat
ho can find. Instead of that he has
his own business car, which has the
right of way over almost any railroad
in Europe. This car which is just be
ing finished, has been under spasmod
ic construction for over two years.
It is said to run very smoothly, and,
as soon as the necessary trial trips
have been hold, it will be turned over
to His Majesty.
A phenomenon attended an earth
quake that visited a little town in
Mexico recently. Having wrecked
several houses in the town the tremor
passed on to a lake in the neighbor
hood, the waters of which it put into
violent agitation. Tho agitation
ceased after a few minutes, and then
the water gradually disappeared, leav
ing the bottom of the lake exposed, <
when it was seen that the earthquake
had opened a fissure in the bottom,
and thus drained it.
Among the various proofs of the
relies brought to London from Toul
ouse being the relics of St. Edmund
is the fact that when the shrine at
Bury was defaced in A. D„ 1539, no 1
mention was made of anything hav- j
ing been then disc vered inside it.
Another important piece of evidence
is that upon a verification of the rel
ics at Toulouse in A. D. 16-.-t, no bones j
were missing save the radius of the j
forearm, which was the identical relic
alone mentioned in later records of
Bury Abbey.
One of the moßt curious perquisites ;
in connection with King Edward's
coronation is the right of one of the
peers to claim the bed and bedding j
used by tho Heir-Apparent on the ]
night preceding the coronation! In
olden times this was a perquisite of
considerable value, a3 the "bedding" |
usually consisted ol'richly embroidered \
coverlids of velvot or silk, with price- \
less hangings of cloth of silver and ;
gold. Nowadays it is, of course, of
less value, excepting from tho point |
of view of the quaintness of the privi
lege.
Tn the village of Hirzbach, near As- j
bach, Germany, there is a peculiar gar-1

Marenbach, a farmer, planted at the [
entrance of his garden two beech |
trees, which he united In one arch, j
Over this arch the cultivator made sev- j
eral more small arches with all kinds
of figures with some small branches. ;
Today the whole In its blooming
green dress seems like a living trium-1
phal arch. The many years it has
existed makes it look more like a
work of nature than the work of a hu
man hand.

SNAKES BY THE POUND.
Tho Origin of the Industry in an Oregon
Town.
"I'll take two pounds of snake,
please."
That is what one may hear at cer
tain stores in Klamath Falls, Or.,
where there is quite an extensive in
dustry in snakes. Children gather
their aprons full of snakes as they
would of wild flowers, and little boys
gather them in their pockets for pets.
The snake industry of Klamath Falls
came about in this fashion;
Postmaster Castil some time ago re
ceived a letter from a concern in
Minnesota asking the price of reptiles
and inquiring if they could be shipped
to Minnesota Thinking it a joke the
postmaster replied that he would fur
nish all the snakes desired at 25 cents
a pound. Imagine his surprise when,
by return mail, an order was received
for 400 pounds of snakes. The Minne
sota firm then informed him that next
season they would place an order for
800 pounds.
That set the people of Klamath Falls
to thinking, and the present snake in
dustry of the town is th# result of
their cogitations. The spenjps of wa
ter snake so plentiful at Klamath Falls
is of a dark color and when full grown
about three feet long.
So great is the supply that tons of
the reptiles could be shipped annually
if there were orders for them. The
snakes are used for medicinal pur
poses, as a superior quality of oil can
be manufactured from the variety
found at Klamath Falls.—Denver

Her Ecsr* H'oro All "Whiten.**
At a little family picnic over in New
Jersey a few days ago the hostess
noticed that the one guest, a city bred
woman, who was spending a few days
on the old farm, instead of eating the
whole of the hard-boiled eggs, care
fully separated tile yolk from the
whites. She ate the whites with a lib
eral addition of pepper and salt, but
the golden globes remaining she fed to
tho children or the terriers who ac
companied the party. Asked about it,
the company replied that she was en
joying her meal very much.
"But no you know, dear," she con
tinued, "I never could bear the yolk
of eggs, and I could just livo on tho
whites. I wish I could get egg 3 that
were all whites."
The next morning at breakfast the
company found three hard-boiled eggs
at her plate. Whor she sliced them
through, they wee just what she
wanted, for they were all white and
hard, and there was not even the faint
est trace of yellow in one of them. She
was very much surprised, but was in
formed that it was just a little matter
of feeding the hens. It was not, though,
for tho hostess had carefully selected
tho eggs for her tnend and then
"blown" the shells through needle
pricks in both ends. Then she had
cracked more eggs, carefully separat
ing the raw whites from the yolks, and
by a simple reversal of the blowing
process obtained eggs filled only with
white. The ho'es vert so minute that
no one would orv notice them when
the eggs were brought to the table.-j-

The partition of Africa, which has
been in progress for 20 years, more
or less, and In which most of the
more Important European powers
have engaged, is not yet complete,
fcut it has gone far enough to give in

sults to date.
Including the great island of Mad
agascar, the continent of Africa has
an area of eleven and a half million
square miles. Of this great total about
one and one-half million square miles
is comprised within separate states,
which have not been definitely dealt
with. Tho largest of these, the Con
go Free State, with an area of 900,-
000 square miles, sustains relations
to Belgium which mako its formal
annexation only a question of time.

the hardest nut of all to crack, as
Italy can testify, and it Is likely that
It will be let alone, or perhaps coaxed

"In my country cottage." said a
woman to a New York Evening Post ..
writer, "I try all sorts of daring effects
in furnishings. Those that are pleas
ing after use I often transplant with
success to my city home. For ex
ample, two or three summers ago we
rented a cottage in which the dining 1
room was dull and dark. I got a pot
of white paint together with the own
er's consent, and painted the wood
work, the chairs and table white, with
the effect that the room became per
ceptibly brighter. If I could have
changed the wall It would have been
lighter still. My city dining room had
long distressed me because of its
want of light, and that autumn I
boldly transformed It. The walls I
had papered In a striped white paper,
painted the woodwork white, and put
a white linoleum on the floor. The
furniture was too hadnsome to tam
per with, for it is mahogany, in a,
simple colonial design, but the whito
background efficiently did the worlt of
brightening the room to the most de
lightfully cheerful point."
To Make Fur* Took I.lkfl New.
When furs become worn or soiled
at the neck they may be renovated
by gently rubbing with cotton batting
saturated with gasoline, which should
not be used in a room that has arti
ficial heat or light. Axle grease, tar,
paint and pitch may bo removed by
rubbing first with oil of turpentine
and then with ether. Dark furs may
be cleaned with fine cedar or mahog
any sawdust which has been heated
in an oven. Alaska sable, seal, elec
tric seal, fox, etc., should ho beaten
with a switch until free from dust,
then laid with the fur side up, and
the hot sawdust rubbed in. Be lavish
with the sawdust and vigorous with
the nibbing. After this place the
garment upon feather pillows with
tho furry side down, and beat well un
til all traces of the saw dust have dis
appeared. Then hang out in a shady
place. White furs may he cleaned .
in the same way, using white corn- )
meal instead of the sawdust, or if
only slightly soiled, by rubbing well
with magnesia in cakes. Wet furs
should never be dried near the fire,
but shaken and hung away in a cold
room, then brushed.—Ladies' Homo
