CULINARY SUGGESTIONS The following may be found helpful to many young housewives: No woman By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HEROIC railroad engineer who died at his post of duty and a negro engine wiper who wrote a simple song about his death these two gave to the world one of the most famous of ail native American ballads which you will still hear sung in almost any part of the country, even though 31 years have elapsed since Casey Jones mounted to the cabin with his orders In his hand and took his farewell trip to that promised land." In 1900 John Luther Jones was the engineer on the Memphis, Miss., run of the Illinois Centrals crack train, the Cannonball." He was a husky Irishman, six feet four Inches tall, a d Celt, by all the railroaders In that section. If you had asked one of them about John Luther Jones, he probably would have answered Oh, you mean Casey Jones For Casey Jones he was to the railroad men, a nickname that was fastened on him because he was born near Cayce, Ky., and down there they pronounced It In two syllables Cay-cSo Cayce" Jones soon became Casey Jones. Casey started his railroadin on the Mobile & Ohio late In the eighties. He put in several years as a freight and passenger engineer on the Illinois Central between Jackson and Water Valley, Miss., and then, at the age of thirty-sevehe was put at the throttle of the Cannonball." Already he was locally famous for his peculiar skill with a locomotive whistle. His method of blowing it was a sort of a It was a personal trade-marnote, beginning softly, then rising to a shrill moaning blast, finally dying away almost to a whisper. To people living along the of the Central in Mississippi and Tennessee it was a familiar sound. At night they would lie in their beds and listen for a sound of one locomotive whistle, and when they heard It they would say There goes Casey Jones ! as the train roared by and Casey whistled for the next crossing. Not only was Casey by the other railroad men but he was the Idcl of Wallace Sanders, a negro at Canton, Miss., who became an engine wiper in the round house there about the time Casey first "mounted to the cabin of the Cannonball." Wallace was accustomed to brag mightily about the prowess of Mistah Casey, and caring for his engine was a labor of love for the colored man. About ten o'clock one Sunday night, April 29, 1900, Casey and his fireman, Sim Webb, rolled Into Memphis from Canton and, going into the checking-i-n office, were preparing to go to their homes when somebody said Joe Lewis has just been taken with the cramps and cant take his train out tonight All right, Ill double back and pull old 63S, said Jones. No. 638 wa3 Lewis locomotive. It was a rainy night as No. 638 with Casey and Sim Webb in the cabin rolled out of the station and rumbled through the South Memphis yards. Wonder whats the matter with Lewis, remarked one of the yardmen to another, for the switchmen knew by the engines moan that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones. Through the sleeping countryside of Tennessee and Mississippi roared the train, and more than one farmer said to himself, There goes Casey Jones, as he lis- tened sleepily to the long moaning whistle of old No. 638. It was four oclock in the morning on April 30 as No. 638 swept around a long winding curve just above the little town of Vaughn, Miss. Where the curve ended a long sidetrack began and Casey Jones, peering out of his cab window to see if the lights ahead were green or red, yelled across to Sim Webb, Theres a freight train on the siding. Sim nodded and kept on with his coal shoveling. Knowing that the siding was a long one and having passed many other Tenn.-Can-to- n, dark-haire- good-nature- d, d, gray-eye- d, well-like- d e. n, long-drawn-o- ut k. right-of-wa- y well-like- d coal-heav- er freights on it, Casey didnt reduce his speed. .He didnt know that there were two separate sections of a very long train on the sidetrack that night, and that the rear one was too long to get all of its cars off the main line on to the siding. The freight train crews had figured on sawing by as soon as the passenger train passed the front part of the train it would move forward and the rear part would move up, thus going off of the main track. But they hadnt figured on Caseys speed It was more than 50 miles an hour. Within a hundred feet of the end of the siding, the startled gaze of Casey Jone- and Sim Webb was met by the sight of several box cars looming up through the gloom box cars which were still on the main track and rolling too slowly on to the sidetrack to escape the thundering rush of old No. 638. Jump, Sim, and save shouted Casey Jones and yourself Sim Webb jumped, fell into some bushes and rolled over and over on the ground uninjured. As for Cpsey Jones, there was Just one thing he could do. He threw his engine into reverse and applied the airbrakes. But it was 'too late. Old No. 638 plowed into those lumbering box cars, smashed them into match-woocrashed into the caboose and then turned over on her side a short distance beyond. When the freight crews reached her and looked into the cab, they saw that her dead engineer still had one hand on the lever and the other on the whistle cord. Later Sim Webb told Caseys widow the explanation: I remember that as I jumped Casey held down the whistle in a long, piercing scream. I think he must have had in mind to warn the freight conductor in the caboose so he could jump. They took Casey Jones to Canton where a committee of three of his fellow workers, Edward OMalley, a e machinist, William Bosma and Homer English, two locomotive engineers, took charge of the arrangements for sending the body of the dead hero back to his home in Jack-soTenn., where his widow, the two sons and a daughter awaited his last - 1 d, movie that had been built around the famous exploit of the engineer,- Immortalized by a song. Although Casey Jones" Is the most famous of all railroad ballads, there are others which are not far behind it In widespread popularity. For in" stance there is Old There are numerous versions of this song, but the following, according to R. W. Gordon, an authority op American folk songs, is a composite of three different versions and a representative text : , - .

Has No Scientific Basis There is no known scientific basis for the popular belief that underground water, oil, mineral deposits or hidden treasures can be located by means of a forked twig carried over the surface in a certain manner, says Pathfinder Magazine. But the faith of certain people Is not diminished. , The belief Is probably a relic of ancient methods of divination. Early in the Fifteenth century miners in the Harz mountains of Germany prospected with hazel twigs, and this practice, which was introduced among the Cornwall miners in the time of Queen Elizabeth, later was adopted as a means for finding veins of underground water.
