The Thrift of a
MAXWELL
comes from its special steels
Nearly 400,000 owners know
well hew thrifty a Maxwell
really is.
Men in the trade in selling
other cars often use the expres
sion "as thrifty as a Maxwell.
Special steels are the under
lying causeof Maxwell's thrift.
These are steels, made to
Maxwell's own formulae, after
years of tests, analysis and study,
which make possible the ideal
construction of great strength
and light weight. "
They give a Maxwell the
ability to stand wear, strain,
twists and jolts that other cars
much larger and heavier would
have difficulty to resist.
But they make a Maxwell
light. They eliminate useless
weight; they ease the burden
on the engine and thus gas, oil
and tires render long mileage
results.
Hence, the ever growing re
spect and admiration for
Maxwell the world over; and
its consequent fast growing
numbers. Nearly 400,000 in
use today; a year hence 500,000.

(From the Slalesville Landmark)
One nun met another one day and
said, "I hear there was a railroad
wreck last uight. Was anybody kill
ed T" The other man replied. "No.
there was nobody killed. Just the en
gineer and fireman."
A long freight train eased along
the winding track down the mountain
through the rainy night. The head
light of the engine fell in two shining
bars on the wet rails ahead. The big
mountains loomed startlitiKly close at
hand. And the lonesome blast of the
whistle reverberated through the dim
valley. It was three o'clock in the
morning.
Back In the caboose the conductor
was poring over his report. He was
studying the numbers that meant the
cars making up his train. As he
studied he told his flagman just how
low in his estimation ranked the rail
way company that would thrust 011 a
hard-woikln; conductor twenty cars
of cows and fifteen cars of coal on a
night like this. As for the flagman,
he slept. Curled up on a locker he
slept peacefully, oblivious to the
rainy night, the steep mountain road,
the twenty cars of cows, the fifteen
cars of coal, and, the grumbling con
ductor. About midway of the train a brake
man sal morosely on, lop of a cattle
car. H had tightened a brake, and
too melancholy to travel on the en
gine or back In the caboose, he flat
clad lu his slicker. In the rain on top
of a cattle car. He had been sum
moned by the call boy to take this
extra run just as he was going to bed,
and he was very unhappy, He want
ed the rain to pour on htm. The un
comfortable drops trickling Inside his
collar were In keeping with his mood.
Ha was going to sit there in the rain,
getting damper and unhappler. He
would sit there till morning if he
wanted to and he defied any railroad
company to make him get off that car.
The fireman sat In his place at the
left window of the engine and studied
the night.
He took a fierce joy In a trip down
the mountain on.a night like this. He
loved the swaying of the engine, the
rumbling of the train through the
mountains, the rain driving against
the shine of the headlight, the big
shadows of the mountains and the
dimmer shadows of the valleys. His
mother had not wanted him to follow
the rond, but he was a born railroad
er. He must always have the road
and the big engines. Then he fell to
dreaming of that day whenjie should
have an engine of his own. It should
be the most beautiful engine on the
division. Whep he got his engine he
vias going to marry a pretty girl who
was alwftvs worrying about the dang
ers of railroading. He smiled In re
membrance of her precious fears. He
looked across the cab to smile at his
engineer. Hut the engineer was star
l'ig ahead at the two shining bars of
light.
The engineer was staring mechani
cally ahead. He was thinking about
his baby. That night when he left
he went to the little white bed and
watched his son. Such a chubby little
boy with his arms thrown over his
head In sleep. The big engineer was
pondering on the sweetness of his lit
tle boy. He made a comfortable liv
ing. And his boy must have an edu
cation and settle on some safer pro
feaslon than his father had. The little
son must never know the fascination
of this railroad game. He must al
ways have the best In life, that chub
by baby asleep in his white bed.
There was a peculiar scraping noise
and the cab shook violently. The en
gineer reversed his engine. He Iook
ed across the cab at the fireman and
I the vounger man's eyes were un
1 afraid. He called a cheery goodbye
jto the boy. Then tho engine left the
track.
j "Nobody was killed; just the engi
neer and fireman."

10 reflect that the figures are beyond
doubt substantially correct.
New York has companions in dis
appointment, and will have more.
Yesterday's announcement showed
1 hat Boston's population was 748. 00.
an increase of only 11.5 per cent, as
against an increase of nearly 2t per
cent in the decade preceeding. Buffa
lo's population was announced as
506,000. an Increase of about the
same percentage as New York's, and
a percentage decidely less than in
19O0-1910. Census returns thus far
have shown a retardation in the na
tion's urban growth, evidently due to
the loss of Immigrants. It is only
natural that the chief entry port for
immigrants should share it.
Great Rejoicing by

Rheumatism is a powerful disease

muscles. In order to conquer it a
powerful enemy must be sent against
It. Rheuma is the enemy of rheuma

or your money will be refunded.
Rheuma contains no narcotics Is
absolutely harmless, and thoroughly
reliable because it Is the only remedy
