"There is soinethingjilioiit railroading thnt contluces to sleep. It may be the rumble that ctuiHcs drowsiness, it may be the long hours on duty, but in ninny cases, in my judgment, it is the failure of the employees to secure needed rest when they have the opportunity. During my 20 years' experience as a driver of the iron horse I knew of hundreds of severe wrecks due entirely to some one being 'asleep on the post of duty." Even the responsibility imposed on the man would not have the effect of causing him to keep awake."

The spenker WHS one of the oldest rail­road engineers in the country, who, after 20 years in charge of the throttle of a locomotive, voluntarily resigned to seek other pursuits not so dangerous or excit­ing, A question or tuO about the old times put the ex railroader in a talkative mood, ami he continued:

"Hut once in my rod road career did 1 turn my engine over to my fireman and go back to the caboose for a little rent, and the narrow escape that I then had from a severe wrovk and the killing and wounding of hundreds of sleeping passen­gers taught me a lesson that was never forgotten. The incident occurred in Illi uois in February, 1S7D. At that time I was running an engine pulling a fast freight on the Illinois Central railroad. My fireman was a young man whom I had instructed in all that he knew about railrouding. My health was not of the heat at that time, as I had been on an nttal victim of the ague that pervades southern Illinois, and my system was shuttered from the 'shakes.' In addition there was some sickness among the mem-beiN of my family, with the result that my nights at home would be broken up in looking afti-r the comfoit of the loved ones. Buainesa on the railroad wns brisk, nud there was n heavy passenger fralhc due to the annual Mardi (Jras celebration in New (rrlcaus.

BRIER litu, i>«<, /H.--insAsnov«RtJN-A w w . —One evening this week, an old gentleman, silver haired, fur coated, sungly tolied, was passing through the village. When opposite the smithy, hi* fiery steeds, as though ftightened at the glare of the red-eyed forge and labored breathing of the bel lows, thowering sparks and ringing tattoo, beaten out by one of Old Verlean's sons on hii anvil, apparently became unmageablc and galloped away at a fearful rate. He had an immense load of promiauous merchandise, articles useless, toy§ and nations of evety des­cription, pleasing to eye and ear and palate, a veritabie bric-a-brac show on runners. Along the course of this wild race. With bounding sledge in maddening chase, In ev'ry direction, tossed and thrown, Its prettous freight lay thickly strown.

At hrst it was uuiverai wonder who the mystet ions stranger would be; but, now, it is universally admitted.

No sculptor's chisel ere wrought, l'roin Parian marble, such grace,

As the flowing lines of beauty, That would fashion your (lolly's f«ce

And a color as warm as life, Should enliven the features fair,

Blending with softening tints, Shed from her golden hair.

And the eyes, so deep and clear. Should seem like heaven-blue rotkets.

As, with tender expression, They'd lovingly turn in their sockets.

If I only had money enough. I'd buy you this dolly fair;

foot Rogers engine ami was hauling 40 load ed earn. Along about 1<> o'clock I found that I could hardly keep my eyes open. The road ahead of me wns clear of trains for an houi or more. About the only thing of importance in view WHN to meet and pass the Chiengo express at Makan-<la, which was 24 miles away. 1 then yielded to temptation. Placing my fire man in charge of the throttle, with the head hrakeman to do the tiling, I went back to the caboose to secure a little rest. I should not have taken this step if I had not reposed every confidence in my fire­man, and I believed that he wns thor­oughly competent to run the engine.

"How long I slept I do not know, but . 1 awoke with the premonition that some

thing was wrong As I regained my senses I realized by the swaying of the train that it was running much faster than it would have been had I been in charge of the throttle. There was a heavy down grade for five miles to the point where I was to meet the express,

1 and my hrst thought wns that we had struck the grade and gained the Impetus,

"Springing to my feet, I hurried out the frout door of the caboose and climb­ed to the top of the first freight car. The sight that met my eyes neatly parnh/.cd me. There in full view I saw the load light of the heavily loaded express train waiting at Makiimlii for my train to take the sidetrack and permit it to pass. How I got over that train to my engine 1 hardly know. But I did,

"Jumping tlown on - t h e tender, I sprang into the cab. shut off the throttle and took other means to reduce the mo­mentum. I glanced at my fireman. He was sound asleep on the seat. The head hrakeman kept him company on the oth er side. I realized that it was utterly impossible to stop the speed of the train, and I had visions of the awful wreck that would follow. My engine was mak­ing 45 miles on hour, being propellel by the heavily laden cars in the rear, and certain destruction seemed to face the express ami the hundreds of sleeping passengers.

"As the rules required that I should stop and, after the head hrakeman had opened the switch, should pull by the passenger train there seemed to be no way to avert the disaster. All these thoughts flew through my brain in a twinkling, antl as I expected to meet death at my post I wondered who would care for my two boys who would become orphans.

"Fortunately the siding was a short one, and that fact, coupled with my rep utation as a careful engineer, prevented the d i sas ter at the critical moment and saved the lives of many. The engineer of the passenger train divined from the rumble made by my train that something unusual hod happened, He told me aft­erward that he knew 1 would not have approached that meeting place ot such n rate of speed if everything was all tight.

"When my train was about 3<K) yards from the express, I saw a man run from the engine of the express and throw the switch for me. At the same time 1 could see by the swinging of n lantern in the rear of the express that the switch tit the other end of the siding had also been opened. The disaster had been averted. My train dashed on to the sidetrack, past the express and then out on the main track again nt the rate of ,'J5 miles an hour, and I could not bring it to n stand still until I was more than two miles piw*t the station.

"You can imagine the effect upon the express if the engineer had not acted as he did. It is needless for me to add that during the remainder of my career on the rail I never left my engine again in charge of that fireman or any other fire­man. One such lesson was enough for me.

"Naturally my fireman was much eua-grined over his act, but I never bad con­fidence In him afterward. He had lieen tried in the balance and found wanting. A tew years later he was promoted to tK» an engineer and had been running his engine but a short time when it exploded, killing him, his fireman and a brake-man ." - Washington Post.

"I ran a newspaper once at the county seat of a backwoods P s-nsyivanla coun­ty," said Colonel 'Jim Bull of Potter county, "und one day I started out among my patrons In the outlying town­ships on a collecting tour. In the course af the day I came to a clearing to which I had been directed as the domocile of one Samuel Ricketts, to whom I w a s tnxious to present my autograph at the bottom of a receipt for $2.25. I knocked at the door of the Ricketts residence, and by and by u sharp faced woman with snappy eyes and her sleeves rolled •hove her elbows responded to the knock.

" 'Does Mr. Ricketts live here?' I asked.

" 'Sam Ricketts?' snapped the woman, who I rightly guessed was Mrs. Rick-?tts.

" 'Yes, ma'am/ I replied. " 'He has the name o' Hvin here,' said

Mrs. Ricketts, with fine scorn, 'but tha's Jam little life in him!'

"I pretended not to notice the irony of my patron's amiable helpmeet and as­sumed anxiety.

" 'He isn't sick, is he?* I asked. " 'No,' replied Mrs. Ricketts, 'he ain't

sick.' ' " I s he in?' I inquired. " "No, he ain't in!' was the answer. " 'Is he about the place?' I asked. " 'Yes, he's about the place!' said Mrs

Ricketts. 'The last I seen o' him he was h'istiu hisself up the ladder to the hay­mow, a let tie faster than I've seen him move in a coon's age, an he's scroochin in one corner o' the mow now, I shouldn't wonder,'

" 'Will he be back to the house soon?' I asked.

" 'Meanin this afternoon?' said my patron's wife.

"'Oh, yes! Certainly!* I replied. " 'No , lie won't." exclaimed Mrs. Rick­

etts, with a positiveness that satisfied me that, although the deed for that clear­ing might be in the name of Samuel Ricketts, he wasn't the boss of it. I stood a moment undecided what to say or do next when Mrs Ricketts snapped out:

" 'Would you want to know why Sam Ricketts won't be here soon?'

"I said that I would, " 'Well,' snitl she, 'Sam Ricketts bad

the suoopinist, sneekinist, humliest old yaller houn' that ever licked a platter, an I got nick an tired o' kickin it out o' doors, I hate dogs wuss'n p'ison any­how, 'tickelly houn' dogs, an so I up an told Sam Ricketts this mornin that if he didn't take that houn' off an sell it or give it away I'd knock it in the head an him, too, maybe. So Sam'i he took the dog away, an 'long about an hour ago he come back. An what do you think he had done? He hud trailed that dog off fer two darn straddlin coon dog pups an fetched 'em home! That's the reason Sam Ricketts hustled up that ladder to the haymow so suddent an pulled the ladder tip after him. An that's the rea­son why he won't be back soon. He won't be back till after I'm gone to bed on asleep tonight, Sara Ricketts won't, an you kin bet yer boots on it!'

"I didn't see any point in waiting to see Samuel Ricketts, and I heard a month or so later that be was wondering what in thunder that editor stopped his paper for." Chicago Inter Ocean.

A P r i v i l e g e d D o f . A charming little story is told of Queen

Victoria's first visit to Crathie church, near Holmoral. On that occasion a fine dog which belonged to the clergyman fol­lowed his master up the pulpit steps and lay against the door during the entire service. Although the dog made not the slightest disturbance, Sir George Grey, who was then in attendance on her maj­esty, regarded the animal's presence as somewhat disrespectful and suggested to the clergyman that it had better be dis­pensed with in future.

The next Sunday, therefore, the dog was denied his usual privilege of church going and remained sorrowfully at home.

A day or two later the clergyman was honored by an invitation to dine with the royal family. To his surprise Queen Vic­toria presently inquired for his dog, say­ing she had noticed he was not at church on Sunday.

"I kept my dog at home last Sunday, your majesty," replied the clergyman, "as Sir George Grey thought his pres­ence in church would annoy you."

"Oh, no," said the queen heartily, "let him come as usual. I only wish every­body behaved at church as well as your nobte dog," added her majesty, with a decided spice of mischief in her tone.— Youth's Companion.

I .e lnnd Stanford's D r a a a i , The Laland Stanford, Jr., university is

a monument to the munificent philanthro­py of Mr. aud Mrs. Stanford. In 1884 their Kl year old son, after whom the great university of the Pacific slope was named, died of typhoid fever in Florence. H e was the bright, particular joy and hope of his parents.

The heartbroken father fell asleep dur­ing his wntvh by the dying son's bed­side and had a strange dream. H e thought that his son appeared to him and said: "Don't say you hare nothing to live for, father. You have a great deal to live for. Live for humanity, father." It was the innate philanthropy of Sena­tor Stanford which undoubtedly prompt­ed this dream, and over the body of his son he vowed to fulfill his impressive vi­sion.

RIQHT OF _WAY DENIED. Telephone Companies Met With Strong-

Objections »t Mauenft . -?ri l l Enter Ti l -l ags Even If Franchise Is ibefnsed,

MASSRNA. Jan. l . - 8ouae time ago the Bell Telephone Company applied for a franchise to place their poles and wires on the public streets of the village, but the re quest was not granted. The town board demanded from the company conditions which as yet have not been compiled with and until they are no franchise will be given. Undismayed by this refusal the company haa proceeded to place i ts poles along the way from Norwood to thla town. In nearly every case they succeeded In par chasing the right of way until they came to the farm of J. J. Whalen, ex-United States consul a t Presoott, who opposed them and they have not succeeded in satis­fying him for the privilege nf placing the poles on his farm. The work Is progress­ing very rapidly and they hate poles strung all the way to the limlta of the corporation and It will be but a short piece of work to complete the Hue.

The T. A. Gillespie Company have nearly completed putting In.their system, and, of of course, are opposing very strongly the entrance of the Beli company, but th? long distance company are determined to enter the town and if tbey are not allowed to come over the public streets they will se­cure their way over private property. The system which the Gillespie company haa put in ia what Is called the "confidential sy s t em." There la a separate pair of wires connecting each machine and no one can hear a conversation which la going on ex­cept the persons who are engaged in it.

you can make a better cleansing paste than you can buy. Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing; and will clean
