Nesbit, in Baltimore American. ?3??S" IT'S oncer howsome of those brightest, best college fellows fail to "laud" when the real struggle begins. Take Ingham, for instance: he was the star of every year from freshman to graduating, a football hero and a man among the many men of bis year. And yet when he left collegc and started in "on his own hook." so to speak, he didn't seem to be appreciated. His mother said he was too modest; his father said he was a dreamer, and Marie Franz, who had worshiped him at school, said: "Give him time; he's a bit slow, but he'll get there." She went to Chicago to study music the same week that saw Ingham installed as a clerk in the Bank of Creston. A clerkship in a country bank isn't calculated to emblazon the genius of any man, but the job looked alluring to Ingham, who was poor, and he took it because he loved his mother and wanted to nurture her old age. He wrote queer, rambling letters to Marie every week and in answer got words of cheer, praise and encouragement. She told him that Chicago was "the place." and that naif tne succcssrui meu might go to school to him with ' profit. When Ingham's mother died he had a few hundred dollars saved up and the funeral expenses left him enough to pay his way to the city. It took him three weeks to find employment, and then he was a hit ashamed of his position. Bill clerk in a soap factory Is not the situation calculated to thrill the vanity of a college graduate, but Ingham could have borne his humiliation better if a visit to Marie had not ' WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, JOE?" SUE ASKED. toon a necessity to bis life. He concealed from her the fact of bis presence until be bad found work, and then, with a swelling heart and a sense of his degradation he called at her address in Woodlawn. He found her a woman and remembered her as a co-ed. She was glad to see him. and therefore he was sorry he had come. He intended to bare his confidence to the girl who had been his chum at college, but to the radiant woman whom he saw and who called him ' Joe" with an odd mixture of familiarity and reserve, he could say nothing at all. So he sat dull and hectic while she chaltcred away about her successes, her hopes, her friends, memories. Then: "What are you going to do?Joe?" she asked. "I don't know exactly." he said, flushing with the memory of bis soap factory. "You know. Miss Franz, I ' "Miss Franz!" she ejaculated: "since when pray? Here I am calling you Joe and you come back with 'Miss Franz.' Now. don't do that. Joe." "Well, then, Marie." he resumed, the pallor of hope whitening his good face: "well, von know I haven't mneh choice. It's a cast1 of work with me. I haven't a sou. you know, and whatever I do?at first, anyway?must bo for the money there is in it. I've got a place " Good for you." she laughed. "Good boy. And you just came. I told you it was only a question of nerve." "I think I have that," he was saying, but she rattled ahead: ' Look at Charley Hughes. He's here, already a rising?some say a brilliant?young lawyer. Why. you always excelled him at college, didn't you. Joe? Of course, he's a lovely fellow (Ingham winced again) and I like him ever so much, but the point is. he's no smarter than you. is he?" "Why. I didn't know Hughes was here," said the diffident Joe. his gorse rising at the thought that perhaps Marie had already seen so much of his old classmate that her interest in himself was secondary; "'do you see much of him?" "Yes: we're great friends, you know: that Is?weil, he calls about twice a week," and her big blue eyes studied the carpet till she felt that Joe was looking at the clock. Then she resumed: "By the way, can't you come out to our Browning Club meet Thursday. Char?Mr. Hughes is to be there, and you ought to begin to 'mix* a little, as they call it. He's going to give a reading of some sort. You and I can go?" "Will you go with me?" Joe was alert now. "You may be sure I will." So they agreed to go to the Browning symposium, and Inghaui went home with a new hope and an indomitable determination in his guileless heart. " CT - ; t- ; . " * : ? They were in the west-bound cars, j radiant, expectant and happy, soing to file club, and sure of the old cameradorie. -when Ingham, seeking for a topic, said: "By the way. Miss Marie " "Just Mario will do," she corrected. "All right. Marie; but talking or Hughes?you said he was on to-night's program?do you remember the medal ho got for that essay junior year?" "Yes. indeed; it was about woman, wasn't it?" "Well, yes; about mothers?the title was 'The Christian Mother.' Kow did you like thai':" "It was grand! Don't you remember how everybody carried on over it? Why. I never did take any interest in Char?Mr. Hughes ? till he delivered that oration. Don't you know how mamma cried over It? It was a glorious thing! I never suspected he had so much soul, did you?" "Well, he never had, as a matter of fact." whispered Joe Ingham, handing the conductor a dime. "Fact is, I wrote that oration myself, wrote it for him because he was eaten up with a desire to set a medal. You know he never had much ability, and his father was everlastingly nagging him to distinguish himself. He did distinguish himself that night?with my oration. I don't begrudge him the honor, but he never showed me any gratitude. On the contrary, he always boasted that no man of '99 could have written such a masterpiece." "Why. .Toe." said Marie, coming closer, and with her face drawn and her eyes abroad. ".Toe. you don't mean it? Why. It wasn't honest; it was a fraud; surely Charley Hughes wouldn't have stooped " **01i! It was all right to palm off the oration. Marie, hut it was the way he acted afterward that hurt me. You know the last time he was at Creston he never so much as called to see roe." And little Marie, wondering and fluttered. waited till they were off the car before she said: "Joe. I'm sorry I didn't know you and Mr. Hughes were on had terms. I've promised to let him escort me home to-night, and " "Why didn't he take you to the entertainment alsoV" Mr. Ingham was nettled. "He said he'd be too busy?a lawsuit or something. Oh. he's dreadfully busy, Joe. But I told him I'd go to supper with him afterward and?and? I hope you'll not be offended." "Not at all, Marie." he said coldly. "Go ahead. I'm accustomed to getting left." And poor Marie was most unhappy -when they entered the crowded hall. The usher could not find two chairs too-.+lmi. llinm en \Torio cat In th<? ^ClUUL 1UI luviUi 4>AM4?V w v front row and Joe Ingham. in a sullen mood, sat three rows behind her. When the time came for Charles Hughes to appear the chairman of the meeting stepped forward and said: 'The next number on the program is, a paper by Mr. Charles Hughes, the eminent youns lawyer. Is Mr. Hughes in the house?" There was" a bustle about the doors and directly Mr. Hughes?"Stupidity" Hughes, as the college boys used to 1 call him. entered and rushed forward with a great show of bustle. He mounted the stage, took a sip of water and said: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Brown- j ing Club, friends and fellow citizens: j I have been so busy with numerous i new and old law cases within the past few days that I've been unable to prepare a set address. However, in a few moments of leisure this afternoon I dashed off a little paper, entitled 'The Christnai Mother.'" At the words Marie Franz looked around and her blue eyes blazed when Joe Ingham smiled a knowing smile.

Joe and Marie met in- the crush nt the door when the show was over. Mr. Hughes was yet the lion of the dissolving audience. Women were weeping as they shook his hand. "Well, good-night.

"Let's go home, Joe, dear," she murmured. And when the orator of the evening came for the praise that was to be the breath of his nosrrils the hall was very empty.?John H. Raftery, in the Chicago Record-Herald. The Extent of Onr Kallroads. From a little wooden-track line along the Lac-kawaxen Creek, where the first locomotive in the country had its trial in 1S29, the railroad systems of the United States have grown in seventythree years to a network of rails which, straightened out. would make a single track extending eight times around the world.

Careful estimates of the force of a cyclone and the energy required to keep the full-fledged hurricane in active operation reveal the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in comparison. A force fully equal to over 400,000,000 horse power -was estimated as developed in a West Indian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that can be developed by all the means > within the range of man's capabilities during the same time.

O o q The Origin of the Familiar Farm q O Implement is a Mytftery. Q o o 00000oooooooooooooooooeoo Who used the first plow cannot oe known. At all events, there was but little difference in the shape of the plow and the hoe in early times, save in size. Cut off the handle from the plow and there was the hoe. After a time some mechanical genius saw that the plow would operate more easily if the point that runs in the ground were flattened and the beam were more nearly parallel with the bottom of the share, and so he became more particular about the shape of the forced stick than his ancestors had been. By degrees the cutting surface was flattened, and it took such various forms as the makers thought best adapted to their needs, or as the forked stick would allow cutting. Soon two sticks were fastened together with NATIVE PLOW OF JAPAN'. epikes, and plow-making made a distinct eain. since by this method of making the plow a better shape could be secured than by depending on the fastened together branch of a tree. Plows made of wood, either from a forked limb or fastened together with spikes, are in use now, not only in the remote parts of Asia, but in civilized Europe. In parts of Southern France, parts of Austria. Poland, Sweden. Spain, Norway, Russia, Greece and possibly in some other European counj tries may be found plows in use toi day, or could have been a few years i ago, practically the same as those used j by the ancient Egyptians to turn tho loose soil of the valley of the Nile at the time when Joseph was gathering the wheat into the storehouse of the King in seven years of abundant crops. The origin of the use of iron plows is involved in as much obscurity as tne invention of the plow itself. When Saul was yet a young King, 1100 years before the birth of Christ, the Israelites, who were not skilled in the use of tools for working iron, "went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his 6hare and his colrer and his ax and JAVANESE "SINGKAL." I his mattock." Evidently these were | Iron tools which were made by the i Philistines, and which they alone could I repair. An old picture of a wheeled | plow dates back 2000 years, and to the Greek nation. The modern plow had its origin in Holland and Flanders. Two hundred and fifty years ago England imported plows from those countries, and fifty years before that an English work on agriculture alluded to the improved picws or nouanu. in me latter pun of the eighteenth century cast iron mold boards and wrought iron shares were made in England, and soon after the cast iron share was made. From that time until the present there has CHINESE STIRRING PLOW. been constant improvement in plows. One of the great improvements of the last century was the use of steel by John Deere. He beat his tirst share Into shape over a block of wood in his shop in Grand Detour. Even in America the wooden plow has been used at a much later date than most would think. During the colonial period '.t was made ot wood, the mold-board being covered with sheet iron or wrought! ' ,7 : ; . 7 - . PPEAL 'TE COOPER. [; take good aim iny Iasi bow their heads her pass.

The proper form of the mold board was the subject of much though among the advanced farmers or tnosf and later times. President Jeffersoi wrote on the subject, and said it shouU be a lifting and upsetting wedge, witl an easy connecting curve. This theon has been acted on in all the plows thai have been made since. In the early settlement of this coun try the wooden plow was used, anc even to a late date plows were mad< that had no iron except the share. The steel plow is now making iti "BBOODJOELS" OP JAVA. ir-ntr nil iivpr wnrld. Tfcpi'p is scarcely a country where the plows made in America are not known, and they are taking the place of the primi tive instruments. Fully one-half the wheat raised li the world is raised on land plowed witl these primitive instruments. The greai possibilities of the plow industry cai be seen when it is known that in the not far distant future all these plowi will be supplanted by the steel plow. Wind Pockets In the Sail. In the construction of sails for boat: it is desirable to provide for a giver space a maximum amount of canvas area to be presented to the action ol the wind, whereby in tacking or wearing the dead wind may be easily anc quickly spilled from the sail, to effeel the change with the least possible de lay. The accomplishment of these ob jecls is among the important features of the sail recently designed by Georgt A. Lowry, an illustration of the im /)tk increases the area presented to the wind. nrovement being shown herewith. Ie carrying out the invention the sails em ployed are made up in sections, which when spread occupy the same general dimensions as an ordinary sail, bul which, by arranging the sections tc overlap each other, presents a greatei effective area of canvas to the wind, The method of attaching the sail tc the lower boom is such that a pull on certain ropes turns the pockel wrong side out when the ship takes a new tack, allowing the wind to fill out the loose canvas in the pockets long before the boom could be swung across the boat and presented broadside to the wind. In reefing the sail It is onlj necessary to take in one or more of the sections by hauling on the ropes, whicli draw it toward the mast. Didn't Work. "I would give a good deal if I wasn'\ absent minded," said a well known business man with a sigh.

The issues which will claim attention and the men in whose hands their fate will lie will of themselves make necessary unusual activity on the part of the schemers whose ambition is to facilitate or retard legislation. In the first place, a new President is in control of the destinies of the Nation, and, in addition to that, the Arsiipa- almost without exceDtion. are important in the extreme. The "Third House" has gained some very distinguished recruits of late years, for it has become quite the proper thing for a Congressman whose term has expired and who is desirous of remaining in Washington, to undertake to further the interests of some organization or corporation which is willing to pay well for the service. "The Lobby" i I ' 0* N COMTMil . 1 SCENE IN THE CORRIDOR OUR r . t As a rule these ex-Congressmen re* gard themselves simply as attorneys - acting for clients and would be indignant if classed with the ordinary lob3 byists who are supposed to be ever ready to accomplish things by $jiy possible hook or crook. A number of representatives of corporations are paid large salaries and live in elegant style, year in and year out, in the most fashionable section . of the National capital. Even the "free 5 lance" promoters sometimes make fabi ulous sums, as, for instance, Major I Stahlman, of Nashville, Tenn., who is understood to have received some time since the sum of $100,800 for getting i through Cougress a claim for $288,000. i Women do not play as important a i- nnrt in lobbvinz oDerations as tbey i did before Speaker Reed ordered the ?. closing of a reception room of which i they held almost sole possession, and where it was always convenient for them to meet Congressmen. However, a number of attractive women who j have an acquaintance with many Con, gressmen are regularly employed by , the professional lobbyists, the usual I luse employed being to have them . call at the Capitol and each send in [ a card requesting a brief interview I with some one Representative just at . the time when an important bill is . to be voted on, and when the absence j of one or two members may change ; the result.
