later. Both necks were broken.

1 YLi!e the condemned men were In

a telegram was received from Wash

Commodore andeibilt, who was
never noted for his geutle manner?.
Westinyhouee found him engrossed
in his correspondence, aud he. did
cot deign to stop reading his letters
while the inventor extolled the mer
its of Lin devise. When he had
spoken his little piece. Yauderbilt-
for the first time seemed to take
notice of him, and looking up sud
denly said in his gruffest tones:
"What's that you pay?"
So Westinghouee commenced all
over and explained how by an air
pressure of thirty pounds to the
square foot tbe brake was applied
by the engineer, and when he finish
ed he waited patiently for the ver
dict. Once more the old commodore
raised his head long enough to jerk
out:
'What's tliat you Bay about aii!"'
Westinghouse told him.
Looking him sternly in the face
the old man replied in freezing
tone: ''That will do, I Lave no time
to waste witL a fool."
Discouraged, but not disheartened,
WestingLouse left, only later to
bring his great invention to the
knowledge of the Pennsylvania rail
road authorities. At that time Tom
Scott was the president of the cor
poration, and be at once saw the
practicability of the invention and
allowed some of his cars to be equip

was easy enough to get tbe other j
roads to use the brake, and j

were made. When that time had
arrived he oue day received a letter
from Commodore Yauderbilt, asking
him to call at the Central's office.
Mr. Westingbouse's reply was terse
and to the point. He simply wrote:
"I have no time to waste with a j
fool." !

It is told of Col. Tracev, the re
publican nominee for congress, that
recently,-4ti the course of a speech
at Malta Bend a thriving town in
the. midst of the finest corn raising
section of the state and where tbe
crop this year will make from sixty
to eighty bushels per acre he said:
"Gentlemen, two jeais ago tbe
democrats had emblazoned on every
wall, 'Vote for Grover Cleveland aud
get a dollar a bushel for jour wheat!'
Nowfyou are getting 40 cents.'"
Instantly a stalwatt demon at ex
clamed: "What's tbe matter with
45 cents per bushel for coin?'' The
crowd went wild. Tbe colonel didn't
have a word to say in reply. He
recognized, too late, that he was in
the midst of a corn growing section
and that wheat was of secondary
consideration, aud that if he cbai g
ed tbe democracy with bringing
wheat down to 40 ceuts the crowd
would credit the democrats witb tbe
increase in the price of corn. Seda-
