The city of Anderson, Ind., claims the honor of having tho champion lili putiau railroad of the country within her corporate limits and also tho youn gest railroad magnate in tho United States. Tho name of tho road is theDil lion Trunk lino. It has a strotch of right of way extending throiyh several back yards and it runs froiii nowhero to no where, Tho rolling stock as yet is some what incomplete, but tho shops have equipment under construction. The mo tive power consists of a two drivo wheel engine, No. 8. Tho roadbed is well ImiI lasted and tho heavy 3 by 3 inch hick ory trac k is securely held on good cross ties. Following tho first methods of railroad building, strips of steel aro laid on top of tho hickory rails, and tho 300 pound engiuo "scoots" over them with tho Kraco of a swan in a duck pond. Engine No. 8 is a model of perfection and in undoubtedly ono of tho smallest practical engines in tho world. Sho goes at a. good giiit over her 20 inch gauge track and can bo easily started and stop ped by her b-yeur-old engineer. Sho is now undergoing somo changes which when completed will put her ahead of big locomotives. Sho will burn crudo oil, which will bo a great convenience. From tho ground to tho top of her smokestack her highest point sho measures but 3S inches, and from tho point of her cowcatcher to tho end of tho running board back of tho tender sho is less than 6 feet in length. Her four drive wheels aro but 18 inches high, and her boiler is about 3 feet long. Sho has a headlight, which lights up CO feet of track, and her cabin, with its levers and valves, is just largo enough for James William Edward Dillion, her 8-year-old engineer, who is also presi dent, manager, conductor, fireman, brakeman and grand bouncer of tho train, and foreman and section man of tho entiro stretch of track. Ho is a "practical man" in every department and displays most rcmarkablo executive and mechanical ability. His engino is a little beauty. She is well mado and complete in every part. In a few weeks new passenger and freight coaches will bo turned out of the shops by J. A. Dillion, who, be sides filling the position of financial backer, bond floater, treasurer, secre tary, master mechanic and foreman of the shops, is also tho parental guardian of tho president. Dilliou's Trunk lino docs a monster business after school hours. All of the children in tho western part of tho city gather along tho right of way. Tho conductor has run a corner on all of tho pins in Hazclwood addition. Ho charged ten pins a ride for somo time, until he had every pincushion in his part of tho city bankrupt, and then he condescend ed to removo the tariff and let his cus tomers rido for their good fellowship. Ho stands well with all of tho young women for miles around and ho is tho penuino heart smasher of tho "bloody Third ward" becauso ho has a railroad behind him. J. A. Dillion, tho power behind tho throne, is a wiro drawer at tho Ameri can Wiro Nail mills and formerly lived In Covington, Ky. Ho is in no bchso a mechanic or an engineer. About a year ngo ho began buildiug a locomotive just for fan. Tho Dillion homo is located near tho tracks of tho Indiana Midland and ho took tho passing engines as his models, llo workod over two months, PRESIDENT DILLION AND NO. 8. spending all of his spare time at the bench and in the foundry. He had many of tho parts specially cast and when ho finished his work ho had con siderable money wrapped up in tho 300 pounds of locomotive. She was painted neatly, and tho mas ter mechanic then turned his attention to right of way and to tho track. How well ho has succeeded in his work is evidenced by the great crowds of people attracted to his lino. Not only children, but men and women of mature years como to tako a rido on tho "Dillion Trunk lino. ' They pronounco it even an improvement on tho Indiana Midland, from which it was copied. Mr. Dillion says: "I learned much in my work. I did not know I had any mechanical knowledgo or ability, but nfter I got into tho study I found that probably my natural lino of work was along thoso lines. My son takes much interest in tho railroad, and I am in hopo that this primary education in ru diments will have a bearing upon his futuro life, and I think it will. Many other boys aro getting ranch interested. As my time will permit I will turn out additional equipment for tho road and improve that which is completed. "I think that with tho possible ex ception of a lino at Denver this is the smallest practical railway in tho coun try. Engino No. 8 carries tho stars and stripes all tho time, and she is as safo as aro her colors. Sho is-decidedly more than a plaything and is capable of do ing real business." The accompanying cut shows Presi dent Dillion and No. 8 on a lovel stretch of main line, He hardly had time to have his picture taken, for there was a box ca? of freight at the other end of the line that had to be moved to Toad Level right away. He had tho bill of lading and rush trders, It was necessa ry, therefore, to take him on the run, though he did slacken eoed. Cor. Chi caso Chronicle. J UNCLE DAVID'S BROTHER. What .Mice Learned About Her Grand fJUer on Memorial Day. When Alice camo down stairs, 6he found her groatancle David sitting in the parlor alune, and very grave and still. He had on hi ben:itiful bluo uni form with its sbiniug"tuttous, and his sword and tho broad brimmed hat with its gold laco lay on tho table besido him. Alice went over to tho big chair where ho sat for her morning kisH. The old man put his'hand upon her shoulder and looked down at her so long and so strangely that sho felt a little afraid. "My dear," ho said at length, "I want to tell you a little story this morn ing. I know you will remember it, and every year when thi.s day comes you will think of tho man I am going to tell you altout. Ono day a long, )ng 1 time ago tho news camo that tho presi dent had called for men to go and fight for tho flag. Tho first man in tho town to say ho would go was my brother Henry. Then I said I would go too. "It was very grand when wo march ed away i:i our ucw uniforms, with our shining guns. "But ono night, after wo had been uway a long tiiuo and had fought in m HE rLT HIS HAND ON 1IEK SHOULDER. many battles, our regiment was waked up at midnight and marched forward to be ready for a great battle that was coming in tho morning. "Tho cannons began to boom by day light, and in a littlo while tho bullets wcro buzzing through tho woods liko great bumblebees, and big shells scream ed through the trees, and tho men were falling all around us. "Tho enemy fought very bravely, but after a time wo began to drive them back a little, and at length we were or dered to make a charge. Wo started on tho run, everybody cheering, Henry anil I sido by side. Just before wo rear bed the ridgo where tho enemy were waiting for u.s I felt a sharp sting in my side and everything grew black. "When I camo to, it was dark. I was lying in a littlo wood and could seo the stars shining down through the trees. I got up and tried to walk, but I couldn't stand. I thought if I could get to tho dgo of the wood somo ono might find me, so I crawled aloug slowly. By and by I saw a man sitting with his back against a tree, and it was Henry. Just think, dear, how glad I was to seo him I Ho was wounded, too, but I did not know then how badly. "We had been talking a few minutes when we heard a groan from a clump of bushes behind us. Henry crawled over and found a man in a gray uni form, badly hurt and calling piteously for water. Neither of us had a drop. Henry crawled bal-k and sat with mo Ly tho tree a little while, but ho could not rest for thinking of tho poor man in tho bushes, who was dying for a drink of water. "Over tho right wo could hear a lit tle running brook, and . Henry started to crawl to it. He could only move very slowly, he was so weak from his wounds, but he never stopped or com plained. He just dragged himself along till he reached the brook. "The bank was high and steep, and he did not have strength to climb down, but he lay on tho edge and lowered his canteen by a cord, and when it was full he drew it up. Then ho crawled back to tho man in gray and gave him the water. Tho poor fellow was so glad ho cried, and ho made my brother tell him his name and where ho lived. "Henry crawled back to tho tree and lay down beside me. We began to talk of our homo, and by and by ho asked mo to sing, and I did, and Henry sang a littlo, too, and then the wounded man in gray, back in the bushes, took up tho song in his poor, weak voice. But be fore long wo heard him moaning for water again, and Henry dragged him self to tho brook and got him some more, till he grew fluiet. "I must havo fallen asleep then. When I waked, somo men who had como to search for tho wounded were bending over mc I looked all around, but I could not seo Henry. Tho men looked and found him near tho brook. "Ho was cold and still, my dear, but in his hand wrs tho canteen, which ho was trying to fill again for his wounded enemy. (Jod had called him in tho night. Von must not cry or feel badly, dear.

"Every year I keep this day in mem ory of my brother Henry your grand father, my dear. Ho was not a general or a colonel or a captain just a plain private soldier. It may be that no one ever heard of him except tho people in tho town where ho lived and the men in his company, but I am euro you will always bo glad to put flowers on tho grave of a grandfather who died so cheerfully and who gavo his last strength to help a man who had fought against him."

Tho sol dier boys wero most courteous in their treatment of us, our open air meetings in all of tho camps wero largely attend ed, and we had a number of conversions. We took f tter paper and reading mat ter to the soldiers and helped in every other way possible.

Some of tho United States officers at the various camps have expressed their pleasure with our amcnableness to discipline, and General Merritt has offered many encourage ments to us. It is expected that Major Milsaps will leave with the third expe dition to the Philippines and become the pioneer of the Salvation Army iir that country. "Our officers live in tents on the camp grounds, but there is groat need, for tents to hold services in.
