...full blast all the way. Conductor D. L. Kent hurried up from the caboose, and still windows lighted, heads popped at every turn. Faster & faster went the 664-16, 17, 18 m.p.h. Her fireman shoveled as he never had before to keep up steam pressure, for the whistle was stuck fast. At last the OB 4 rolled into Boston and as drowsy stationmen clustered in wild surmise, Engineer Harry Brown climbed out, hammered shut his sticky whistle valve...
...Gould in manipulating the stock of Erie and other railroads were managed chiefly by the elder brother George, and none too well managed. Edwin organized Continental Match Co. (later merged with Diamond Match), became president of Manhattan's Bowling Green Trust Co. (later merged with Equitable Trust) and stuck for years to his own railroad interests. He became president and chairman of the St. Louis Southwestern. When he sold it in 1925 to the Rock Island (which was later forced by the I. C.

"If I may be permitted," he sneered, "to give the Centrist party a piece of gratuitous advice it is this: CLOSE YOUR SHOP. There are no more customers coming your way! If we remove the Centrist party from the realm of politics we shall have done...
...them to bite paper cartridges tactlessly greased with pork tallow 76 years ago, Moslem sepoys fought the great Indian Mutiny. Because a Moslem fanatic proclaimed himself a redeemer or Mahdi in Egypt 40 years ago, thousands of Egyptians rebelled, left the bland head of Charles George ("Chinese") Gordon stuck on a spike at the gates of Khartoum. Last week because a Swiss headmistress hoisted the skirts and paddled the bottom of naughty Turkiya Hassan at Port Said's Al Salaam Missionary School, Egypt was threatened with still another Holy War.
