The Hannibal (Missouri) Journal
of the Issue of March 3 contains an
announcement of Interest to Alliance
people In that Ira Ellis is a former
Alliance resident and a nephew of H.
J. Ellis and Edgar Martin. The
Journal says: "Mr. and Mrs. William
Foster of 624 North Seventh street
announce the engagement of their
daughter, Miss Enid Foster, to Ira
Ellis of St. Louis. The announce
ment was made at a party given at
the home "of Mr. and Mrs. Foster
last evening. About forty persons
were present. The house was tast
ily decorated for the occasion and
the soft glow of the shaded candles
lent an additional charm to the ani
mated picture. Pretty streamers
extended from the place cards to
other cards, containing letters and
the figures 'March 21. The bride
elect Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Foster and Is a cultured and
refined young lady, who will make
the man of her choice a charming
helpmate. The groom-elect is a
steady and industrious young man.
Ho is a son of J. II. Ellis, storekeep
er of the Hannibal division of the
Burlington. He Is a steady and re
liable young man and holds a posi
tion of trust in St. Louis."
His Story of How Wonderful Machine
Worked First Caused Astonish
ment and Then Disgust.
While I was running a bolt cutter at
the Rock Island shops In Chicago,
writes a contributor to Railway nnd
Locomotive Engineering, I boarded nt
a house which wns frequented by lo
comotive engineers nnd firemen. These
men talked a great deal about their
tremendous feats In getting over cer
tain hills without the help of a second
locomotive.
My opposite neighbor at a table,
young fellow who ran a lathe In the
shop, grew tired of this monotonous
brngglng; he thought he was entitled
to do a little talking himself. One eve
ning he called out to me:
"Well, I went over and saw thnt
new machine today, and It's astonish
ing the fine work It does."
"How does It work?" I Inquired.
Well, said James, "by means of
a pedal attachment, a fulcrumed lever
converts a vertical reciprocating mo
tion Into a circular movement. The
principal part of the machine is a huge
disk that revolves In n vertical plane.
Power Is applied through the axis of
the disk, nnd when the speed of the
driving arbor Is moderate, the periphery
of the apparutus Is traveling at a high
velocity. Work Is done on this periph
ery. Pieces of the hardest steel are by
mere impact reduced to any shupe the
skillful operator desires."
"What In the name of sense Is that
machine, anyway?" demanded Tom
llrlggs.
"Oh, it's a new grindstone," replied
James, and a silence thnt could be cut
with a knife fell upon the crowd.
Improbable.
Sympathetic Stranger "Hullo I old
chop- -fallen In?" Unfortunate Ang
ler (sarcastically) "Well, jron don't
uppose this Is perspiration, do youT"

Height of Tress.
When one Is out for a walk, it is a
very common thing to wish to know
the height of a particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sua Is shining, it Is possible accurate
ly to measure the height of the tree
from the shudow it casts on the
ground. In order to do so, a stick
must be set upright In the ground, so
that Its shadow falls beside the shad
ow of the tree. Then, as tbe length of
the stick's shadow to the stick's height,
so la tbe leugth of the tree's shadow
to the tree's height. For example,
oppose a 2Va-foot stock shows a shad
ow 8 feet long,, and the tree's shadow
la 18 feet long. Therefore the tree la
lix times as high as the stick, which
how that the height of tbe tree will
