When the first passenger railroad ever built was opened in England in 1825 the train traveled from one end of the line to the other. a distance of .e twelve n'ies. in two hours. And Wood, one of the best known writers on the subject of railroads at that day. wrote as follows: "Nothing can do more harm to the t adoption of railways than the promul gation of such nonsense as that we shall see locomotives traveling at the rate of twelve miles an hour." t Today, with locomotives traveling at .the rate of seventy-five miles an hour. one can look at Wood's warning with a feeling of amusement. In 1S29 a locomotive was introduced in this coun try, and in the following year Peter Cooper experimented with a locomotive on the B. and O.'railroad. The flues of the boiler were made from gun bar rels. The boiler was about the size of a flour barrel. Cooper related with considerable satisfaction how on the trial trip of this engine ho passed a gray horse attached to a wagon.-New York World. Big Poker Stakes. Many stories of big poker games among the western cattlemen in the early days have been told, but this story of the game with probably the greatest stakes is really true. Two well known cattlemen of southwestern Kansas, one of whom is now a promi nent business man in Kansas City, started to move their . herds to the pastures of Wyoming. Each herd con tained more than a thousand head of cattle. When they came to the cross ing of the Arkansas river near Coo lidg they found a flood on. They were unable to cross for two or three days. To while away the time the two men engaged in a poker game. When the fiood finally sibsided so - that the cattle could proceed one of ' the cattlemen said to his son, who was helping to drive, "Just turn my herd-.over to our neighbor and we will go -back home." Ie had bet and lost not only all the money he had, but all < of the herd of cattle.-Kansas City I Journal. Moving Troops by Rail. I "Let us suppose it became -necessary < to send the entire national guard of 4 Ne'w York out of the state, how long , would -it take the railroads to handle 4 them?" was asked a railroad official In New York. e "Twenty-four hours, easy," was the instant reply. ~"This is under war conditions, remember, which means that everything gives -way to the movement of troops and their equip ment. The railroads of America can 'handle men and war material of all kinds, including everything from horses and men to cannon and rations, much faster than "they can be assem bled and delivered to us. In fact, un der war conditions the railroads are prepared to do their part quicker and better, with more certainty and better speed, than any other part of the ma chinery, commercial or military, in Amlerica."-Railroad Man's Magazine.
