,T TIES 32 TEARS,
NOW GETS A VACATION.
il
New York, Dec. 14. —New
York will present many strange
nights for .lames Rowan, 67 years
old. a bachelor who arrived yes
terday from the state of Wash
ington. Rowan has been in this
country 35 years, but he has
never
Slept in a steam-heated room, (
Been a passenger on a trolley
ear,
Seen a skyscraper,
Ridden in an automobile,
Hung on a strap in the sub
way, or
Gazed upon a modern ocean
liner.
For 32 years Rowan has been a
track walker for the Northern
Pacific railroad, stationed at
Rosa, in the Yakima Canyon, cen
tral Washington. For 32 years
he has worked practically day
and night, iiving with his hogs
in a hut made of railroad ties.
Rowan had not had a day’s
respite from labor in all that
time, when, a few weeks ago, he
applied to his district superin
tendent for a vacation.
“I’ve been on the job fora
pretty long while,’’ was the sub
stance of the letter Rowan wrote,
“and I’d be much obliged if I
could get a couple of months off
"so that I might go back to Ire
land to see the old folks.’’
The district superintendent
passed Rowan’s request on to
the officials at the general offices
of the Northern Pacific in St.
Paul. He inclosed a record of
Rowan’s 32 years service. It.
showed not a mark against him.
Word came back from the gener
al offices:
“Rowan is granted three
months vacation with the com
pliments of the railroad. The
company wishes him a pleasant
journey to Ireland. In apprecia
tion of his long service it will be
glad to defray the entire cost of
his trip.’’

OF INTEREST TO EVERY DEVOTED
SOUTHERNER.
The Confederate Veteran,
Nashville, Tenn., requests notice
in every Southern newspaper. It
disseminates information about
soldiers of the war on both sides,
it has long represented officially
every general Confederate or
ganization, and is enthusiastical
ly supported by the men and wo
men who are familiar with it.
While ardently loyal, as its name
indicates, it is sodignified in tone
and so patriotic that it maintains
not only the respect but the good
will of “the other side.”
The Veteran is doing an im
portant work in helping to estab
i lish records for dependent men
who wore the gray and the wid
ows of such who seek pensions.
Besides, it secures intercommun
ication between friends of the
long ago whose inquiries are
• printed gratuitously.
The Veteran is printed on fine
i paper and is illustrated with high
' class engravings. It is one of
the most creditable magazines in
! the country (price, $1 a year),
and the editor prides himself in
» the assertion that in the distribu
, tion of over four millions of eop
| ies he has not heard of fourteen
; complaints.
S. A. Cunningham, the found
er, who has been at the helm
these nineteen years, requests
this notice and that all who may
be interested will write a postal
for sample copy.
HAS EVERYTHING HANDY.
Winsted, Gonn. —B. E. Moore
of this place claims to have the
i most up-to-date hen house in the
world. The framework of the
l building is of pipes, which are
I filled with steam, and automati
■ cally keep the house at an even
temperature and act as a brooder
also. The eaves empty into a
•torage tank from which the wa
ter is piped to a trough automat
ically regulated.
An alarm clock in a room over
the hennery releases a lever at
feeding time and allows sufficient
grain for one feeding to descend
through a pipe into the feeding
haisins. In the bottom of each
nest is an opening with a trap
door through which the eggs as
they are laid drop into a pipe
leading into Moore's home. As
they pass down from this pipe
they are automatically rubber
stamped with the date.
At breakfast time each morn-1
ing steam is turned into the pipe
and the eggs are cooked as they
pass from the hennery into the j
house,
sor 6 doses “666” will cure!
