ts appointment has been sent

postmaster to a republican.

fers to withdraw if Deener will
do likewise and leave the ap
pointment to be made by Sena

Old Engine Has a History.
Cotter, Feb. 25.—The oldest
(locomotive in use now on the
Iron Mountain, old railroad men
say, is No. 2742, that pulls the
“Springfield Jungler” daily from
Joplin to Springfield, Mo. The
old engine marks a period in
railroad history, when hold-ups
were common; when railroad
men never sent a train out of St.
Louis or Kansas City without
being apprehensive that on some
lonely stretch of track it would
be held up by the James boys
and the passengers robbed, the
mail rifled and the express safe
blown.
Numiber 2742 is of the old
} eight wheel style in common use
30 years ago. In the seventies
it used to pull No. 1, the finest
. . -a i • A _
. appointed passenger men
'in service, out of St. Louis on
[the main line. It was pulling
| this train at the time of the
spectacular hold-up at Gad’s
Hill, below St. Louis, by the
James boys.
There are still dents in the
old boiler covering made by the
bullets that rained from the
James boys guns in that hold-up.
The date is also carved in the
cab. The engine, as far as its
machinery goes, is only a ghost
of its old self, having been near
ly entirely rebuilt. It is stilll do
ing good service on the short
run and promises to hold out for
some years to come.

One Word 8he Could Say.
An earnest London slam worker re
cords her unremitting, patient en
deavors to improve the accent and
vowel enunciation of her little
protege, Blanohe, for the sake of the
child’s future destiny Hon the etyge.”
Once, falling in all else, she tried a
mild dose of gentle ndloole. "You
can’t say ‘food,’ can you, Blanohe?”
she smiled, teaslngly. ”1 can say
Tula!’" was the child’s crushing re
tort.
Roman Method of Heating.
Lika many other Roman hoaeei
that have been unearthed In England,
one recently brought to light waa
heated by a eyetem called "hypo

one big furnace, from which flue* as
cended, built Into the walls. ▲ wood
fire was kept In the basement, the fuel
being fed In from an ontslde annex,
through an arch lp the wall.
Uncovered Family Group.
An Interesting discovery was re*
cently made In Edinburgh In the
course of the demolition of the old
church buildings of a parish church
In Roxburgh Place. A vault contain
ing the remains of Lady Qlenorchy, a
member of the Breadalbane family,
and the founder of the original church,
was laid bare.
Professor Recited Badly.
One day a college professor, going
to his class, came across one of his
students who had just fallen down.
Asking him how he fell, the student
replied, "Notwithstanding.” Telling
the anecdote a short time later the
professor said: “I met Mr. Junior the
other day, aud he made a very bright
remark. He had just fallen down, you
know; and, when I asked him how it
happened, he said, ‘Nevertheless.’"—
