Coleman was yard master at Jiaeon. uat ne saw 01 iue great run against time he describes thus In the Kansas City Times: "In those days all engines were wood burners.

Bennett, station ageiu. handed me a telegram from the fuel agent to wood the tender of the fast mall engine In less than no time. I got the exact measurement of a loco motive tender and erected 'a platform to that height. I then put every possible man that could find standing room on the platform, each one with an arm full of selected wood. A large crowd congregated to witness the loading of the tender. Way down the line we saw the smoke rolling out of the big balloonlike stack and a great cheer went up from a thousand throats. ."Yonder she comes! Ain't she a cuttln' it? "The engine came in, steam hissing from a dozen places and safety valve snorting grandly. The woodmen stepped over, emptied their arms, the engi neer whistled and the train was off with a roar and clatter. The stop was Just fifteen seconds by my watch. I had Just bad time to look Into the car and see the occupants clutching their seats with both hands to prevent being spilled over the floor. "The engine was the 'Missouri,' Addison Clark, engineer. The coach was then the finest one on the road. Men hunting a smoking car would now turn up their noses at It.

Hayward, Assistant Super intendent O. N. Cutler and Jack Harris, holding the proud position of con ductor.

Philadelphia Record. f HICAGO la planning a new system of subways, by means of whloti the greater part of the street car traction, traffic, and telegraph and tele phone wires are to be placed underground. Already eighteen miles of one of these subways, built In connection with , the plant to give Chicago an automatic telephone system. Is finished, and plans for the completion of the system are now maturing. It Is proposed to construct tunnels wnicn wiij furnish an Improved system of rapid transit; a separate tunnel connec.ing with the basements of stores and Warehouses along the route, through which freight will be sent to all parts of the city, and which will also carry tele Dhone wires, cables, etc., together with additional smaller galleries and ' conduits for the carrying of pneumatic tubes and electric and water mains. It Is also proposed to provide within the subway region a modera and Im proved system of high and low leyel sewers. , A novel and useful feature will be the provision or faculties ror tne laying of electric wires and cables from wlthki the tunnels, and not, as now, from the street The cables, on rollers, are placed on cars and lowered to the tunnel through shafts on private property, and are then carried through the conduits and laid upon racks. This method will remove any necessity for Interfering with public traffic on the street levels. The whole plan, as outlined, means that In the near future the streets of Chicago will be used only for pleasure-driving, witnout tne interference or heavy truck ing and of the obstructions now necessary In repairing underground wires and mains. A part of the street railway system will, however, be kept on the -treet level. , 'rffZ CANOV I I CATHARTIC Alcohol Cpium, i Tobacco , Using A Write for Illustrated Circulars" ITtel .rtONTeoneir M Portland, Ori, Telephone Main 39 THE NEWLY DISCOVERED AUSTRALIAN.'

Nothing is a source of no much trouble as an old sore or ulcer, partial larly when located upon the lower extremities where the circulation is weak and slueeish. A eanzrenous eati&tr ulcer upon the leer is a. frightful sight, and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper into the tissue beneath and the sore continues to spread, one can almost see the flesh melting away and feel the strength going out with the sickening discharges.

Face sores are common and cause the greatest annoyance because they are so per sistent and unsightly and detract so much from one's personal appearance. Middle aged and old people and those whose blood is contaminated and tainted with the germs and poison of malaria or some previous sickness, are the chief sufferers from chronic sores ' and ulcers. While the blood remains in an unhealthy, polluted condition heal ing is impossible, and the sore will continue to grow and spread in spite of washes and salves or any superficial or surface treatment, for the sore is but the outward sign of some constitu tional disorder, a bad condition of the blood and system which local remedies cannot cure.
