■ i
i | Our former townsman. John It. Bra
bazon, a member of Company Thlr
ty-tirst engineers. American expedi
tionary force in France, w rites the fol
lowing interesting letter to Frank K.
Townsend:
"Hello, Frank: I guess you prob
I ably think 1 am not going to write
j you. but it takes time, and then there
I
] are so many to write to. 1 guess you
will be interested more In engines
than anything else 1 can write you of.
The French use small and big euglnes,
mado for speed. An engine the size
of the old TOO’ could not pull a dinkey,
not even the two-spot. But they can
sure travel. Their drivers must bo
eight feet. They have air on the en
gines, but not much on their cars.
They have a hook and link for
couplers A French engineer is a
pretty smart man. He tires for seven
years, learns the machinist’s trade,
then gues to technical school tor a
year, and then he is a ‘hogger.’ Their
tiro boxes are made of copper. Borne
steamers; They also have an arch.
They have iron cabs und it is a pun
ishable offense to sit down. When a
French ’hogger’ starts out he may go
ten to twenty miles without looking
ahead. When they start they pull
her wide open—come into a stutlon
thirty or forty per. It is funny to see
them coming to work They bring
enough wine to lust them a trip. They
would not go anywhere without their
wine. All French ure the same nearly
—men, women aud children. Bee
them coming along with their big bot
tle sticking out of their pocket. They
cull the engineer a mechanician; the
.fireman, a chauffeur; the conductor,
chef de train; brakeman, chef de
brake, and stationmaster, chef de
gard. They have small cars, not
quite os big as the (lump ears in (he
slates. They make good time.
“The trainmen sure do like their •:
wine. When they have a long stop j:
they go over to the cafe and get their i:
drink. j:
“I had a letter from Taylor. He :j
was well, and so was Courtney. This ■:
Is surely a beautiful country. It is :■
very hot here now. but tho evenings •:
are cool, and one has to use all his :■
blankets to keep warm. They build ij
their houses of soft stone, and there |:
are houses still standing and well pre- :■
served over a thousand years old. •:
They started a castle here in 850 and :■
finished it in 960, and they have every- •:
thing in it. :•
"In the farming country the peas- •:
ants build their barns and houses to- •:
gether In many cases. Then they -J
build high stone fences around them ji
and place broken bottles on top.
“Days are very long now, nearly as -i
long as in Alaska. Nearly ull farm
houses sell wine. They call it light
wine, but it sure makes your head £
and feet heavy. The poorer people ,:;i;
all wear wooden shoes. >’t
"They sure know how to charge i-t
here. They charge more for beer here
than In Alaska. Ham and eggs cost £
$1 or $1.25, and you bring your own
bread. It sure looks good for the
allies now, and I surely hope It doesn't ij:j
take much longer.” *:
