This Honor Was Claimed by Two Roads, the Boston and Maine, With the Locomotive Antelope, and the Mohawk and Hudson, With the Davy Crockett. The first achievements of American railroading are, In the greater number of cases, lost in the obscurity of tradi tion, and there has sprung up a host of interesting stories that go the rounds like Homeric tales. Tbe honor of having created a record or a custom that is now commonplace has had many claimants in nearly every in stance. Take the first train to run a mile a minute. The Antelope, an engine on the Boston and Maine railroad, accord ing to one of tbe most cherished of these legends, pulled the first train that made this record. Her run was between Boston and Lawrence, a dis tance of twenty-six miles, and one day In 1843 she Is said to have made ber last fourteen miles in thirteen min utes. But it is Just as earnestly upheld that the Davy Crockett of the Mohawk and Hudson railroad bos this distinc tion. The Dnvy Crockett was the pride of the road In her day. It is said that her engineer, David Matthew, loved her better than he did his fam ily. But she reached the pinnacle of her fame locally when In 1832, six teen years before the Antelope was heard of, nccording to this other story, she covered a fourteen mile straight away level stretch between Albany and Schenectady in thirteen minutes and made one stop for water besides. A letter written by Matthew in that year mentions having done better than a mile a minute with ber, on several occasions. Running an engine at a mils a min ute in those dnyB was many times more dangerous than It Is now. Three quarters of a century ago the rails were light strips of Iron spiked down to all sorts of tics. There were no tie or fish plates then, and In hot weather especially the sleepers and the rails would warp In the torrid sun and pull apart Not infrequently the ends of the light rails would curve upward from the track, forming the much dreaded "snake heads" which were the horror of engineers and passengers alike. Many tales are told of "snake hendB" springing up under the Jolting train, piercing the flimsy car floors und im paling passengers in their Beats. Until a remedy was found for these "snake heads" by using better fastenings and more seasoned ties a large force of men was continually employed to walk the tracks and nail them down. Broken car wheels were another ever present danger in those remote days. The present standard gauge is said to have been originally established by taking the distance between the wheels of the carts used on English highways. For the same reason, ap parently, the first rolling stock was equipped not with solid wheels, but with cast iron models of the wooden wagon wheel, though of smaller di ameter. These were not submitted to the drop test that Is now universal nnd were of a dangerously light pat tern. The result was that often inte rior defects In the casting would pass unnoticed until tbe wheel broke and tbe train was ditched. It took a bad accident, in which a number of peo ple were killed, so runs the tradition, to bring about the testing of car wheels by tapping them. Real time saving In running trains did not begin until 1851. Charles Mi not, superintendent of the Erie railroad. was one of those given credit for In- auguratlng telegraph Blgnals for the handling of trains. Me was In the cub of a passenger train one day, so the Btory goes. There were uo double track railroads in those days, und train had to lie out on sid lugs and wait for the train bound .In the opposite direction to come along. However long the delay, the train on the siding waited. On this particular occasion Mlnot's train took Its siding. The operator at ;hu little country station strolled over, remarking tbut tho train In the oppo site direction had got stalled on tho Itrnde some fifty miles down the line und that It would be two or three hours before she 'could patch up her leaky flues and get power enough to :llmb the hill. Mluot was In a hurry, and he decided to telegraph down the Hue that the train he was on would not wait at the ildlng. but would proceed for station intents to watch out for the other train und have It wait on the siding nearest Ihe spot where they would moot The engineer refused point blank to tnke any such risk, saying that It was against nil railroad law and custom. Mluot Anally discharged him. put htm iitf the engine and rnn the train him elf to the end of the division, keeping posted by telegraph nt each station. Everything worked out Just as he had planned and whs so satisfactory that lie at once inaugurated a system of moving all trains on telegraph signals. -Thaddcus 8. buytou in Chicago Rec ord-Herald.

TRY JOURNAL WANT ADS FOR THEY BRING RESULTS DAILT CAPITAL OTOUEKAL, 1ALBM, OMQOS, RATTLED THE BANDIT. Curious Experience With a Band of Mexican Cutthroats, Everybody in Mexico goes about arm ed. Even the passenger trains on most of the railroads are guarded by detach ments of soldiers who ride In special cars, while on every station platform sre seen rural guards armed with cara bines ready for an emergency. For eigners have to adapt themselves to the custom of going about armed or else make themselves unfavorably con spicuous In the eyes of the natives. It was a novel experience, however, to see railroad surveyors, when occupied with their peaceful work, armed to the teeth with knives and revolvers. As a matter of fact, arms were rarely re quired In Mexico as a means of de fense. As everywhere else, it is well to remember, however, to keep cool and forget that you are armed in case of a quarrel. In this connection the principal locat ing engineer of the road had an expe rience at which he displayed some nerve. He had to make a reconnols sance of a mountain range called tbe Sierra Gordn. said to be Infested with cutthroats. He was warned to let tbe district alone, but duty prevailed, and he went When reaching a rancho near the summit at Biindown be and his attendant were met by four men whose law breaking propensities re quired no further Introduction than their faces. They took hold of the party's horses, told the engineer nnd his attendant to dismount and made no effort to conceal the fact that they were there for business. The engineer complied smilingly, and. going up to the leader, mystified that Individual by asking him to step aside. I am told that It Is unsafe to travel In these mountains." he whispered. 'will you not therefore oblige me by tnklng care of my property and allow us to remain under your roof until morning." With that he banded over his watch, money and other things. and the astonished thief, who was probably for the first time In his life treated to the novelty of being trust ed, not only let the engineer have the best In his house, but handed him back bis property in the morning nnd fur nished him with two cutthroats to serve as an escort during the rest of his Journey.

It is a typical Arabian town, and there seems to be a mystery and a romance behind every door. The town was ruled for hundreds of years by a sultnn until the English took charge. There Is still a sultan, who receives a salary from the Luglisn govern ment, but some day he will be deposed, and there will be no further pretense of a Btiltnn having anything to do with the government. The old palace of the sultnn un ugly affair, which looks like a boarding house Is used for of fices by the British. Near the palace Is tbe harem, now deserted, since Uie present sultan has but one wife. The sultan, who had trouble with the English, was educated In England and spent much of bis time und all of his revenues In Paris. One day an Eng lish gunboat sailed Into the harbor, and the cnptnlu told the gny sultan that he bad been ousted. Tbe sultan resented the high banded proceeding and sent word to the defenders of bis dignity to sink the English gunboat und put the Insolent captain in the dungeon. There was an old fort near the pal ace, on the walls of which were mounted a few rusty cannon. Tbe defenders of tbe sultnn tried to fire these at the English gunboat, but they burst one by one, and almost wiped out the sultan's defensive force. Tbe captain of the English gunboat then began dropping shells Into the palace and, with one solid shot sank the sul tan's navy a buuiII vessel which car ried four guns. F. W. Howe in Howe's Monthly. Going Aitray at Sea, It Is no easy matter to keep a mod ern steamship on a straight course. The helmsman steers by the compass, and while a single degree of deviation appears very small on the compass card It would, if continued, curry a fast steamship four miles out of her course In a single day's run. Yet the compass gives tho course more accu rately than the ship can bo steered. Owing to the deflecting power of the waves and the rolling of the ship, the course Is continually shifted a little this way and that despite the helm. Harper's Weekly. A Philoeopher'e Purpoee.

TOhiin rlvlllzed man suffers Intensely from cold feet every winter, tbe Lap lander, living in the far north of Eu rope, has no such trouble. A traveler writes: "Their boots are made of rein deer skin and are worn very large, and the toes are pointed and curve upwuru hoensllvsllnnedlnto their skis. Tho Lapp usually Alls bis boots bnlf full with a peculiar green grass, Into which he thrusts his naked feet He then packs the boots full with more grass, tucks the ends of his trousers Inside and binds tbem tightly round with many turns of a brightly woven braid. With these precautions they never suffer from cold feet and chil blains, corns or such like civilized com plaints are an unknown horror to them." Concerning other customs the same writer says: "The Lapps are essen tially a nomadic race and spend most of their lives wandering fancy free among the wild and glorious scenery of their northern home. However, at times no doubt the stillness of the frozen mountains becomes too sun, and they turn their herds nnd start toward their nearest meeting place. Twice a year they hold these general gatherings nt Easter nnd midsummer -when they congregate anu nom a general fair. It Is on these occasions that they celebrate their weddings and funerals. The revelries last only about ten days, but many marriages take place between couples who perhaps have never met previously. As soon as n Lapp can nfford to buy enough reindeer for himself he leaves the parental tent, takes a wire and roams awny wherever his heart or reindeer dictates. There are no social distinctions in Lapland. Should a man have no reindeer or possibly have lost what be had he travels with a rich man nnd helps him tend the herd, but he lives nnd feeds with them In the same tent nud Is quite on a social equality until he can nfford to start off with his own herd." Chicago News. TURKISH VENGEANCE. It's a Perilous Matter to Endanger the Life of a Sultan. Within two weeks ufter the assas sination of Mahmud Shefket Pasha, the grand vizier of Turkey, thirty-two men were put to death for taking pnrt In the conspiracy. According to Tur kish custom handed down from tho time of Mohnmtued, there Is no limit as to the number of lives that may be taken as a penalty for the murder of one man. Even those Interested In the remotest degree are liable to the sultau's vengeance. It Is not bo much the number the ruler of Turkey Is au thorized to put out of the way, but rather where the line Is to be drawn. The Turks have a Btory of one of the earlier successors of Mohammed whose life was only endangered he causo of a rock falling down a decliv ity near which the sultnn was riding with his retinue. Half o dozen of those in charge of the trip were put to death as nn ordinary matter of course, then half a dozen more who might have remotely known something about the facilities afforded by the road for killing the sultnn. Finally all the mem bers of a secret club or lodge were or dered executed because It was ascer tained that one of tbe responses to a password was "Will you roll down the stone?" Despite the protestations of the club members that the words had no signifi cance at all with respect to the sultan or the sultan's trip along tho road, tbey were ordered to the scaffold. They numbered 118 In all nnd died bravely. assuring their executioners to the very Inst that they were innocent Later a eunuch who told how the fulling of the rock was merely un accident waa also put to death for daring to say so.
