Exciting Race Between a Drove Of
Elk and a Railroad Train,

The passengers on the train leaving
this city for Cherokee on an Iowa
Falls and Sioux City railroad were
not only spectators but participants
in one of the most exciting races that
has come within the range OF our eN'
pericncc.
One morning, when between Lar
mers and Cherokee, the train IN ronhu'
ing curve thundered down ON Il
drove of fourteen large, full grown
elk which were quietly browsing on
the opon prairie about fiftyyards west
of the track. Startled thus suddenly
from their qnielude they immediate
ly started or on a full run, no doubt
expecting to distance the irlghtiul ana
6eiv monster that had so suddenly
broke in upon them while they were
eating their morning meal. Forward
dashed the elk, while closely follow
ing in their wake came the fiery To-
comotive and attendant cars. Every
person on board the train immediate
~ rushed TO the windows and the plat
forms and became excited participants
in the race. At first the elk gained
on the train, but engineer Prescott,
not wishing to let muscle distantsteam,
let on "a little more of the latter, and
the engine again commenced to gain.
Occasionally the elk would sheer to.
ward tho track with the seeming in.
tention of crossing it; but a "toot'
from tho locomotives whistle would
deter them from their purpose. The
race continued for about six miles
over the level prairie. The train com
ing to down grade gained rapidly on
the affrighted elk. Becoming salts
fed that further attempts to distance
the never tiring pursucr would be use
less, they shoered off into the open
prairie, after having kept the lead for
upward Of six miles.-SioHT CITY

him as he either starts out TO walk
with his children, that are the dear
sweet pledges OF his and their moth

feel himself child again in the sweet
companionship of those he does SO
much love.
He couldn't get his pay last night
from so many customers that should
have paid their bills-but didn't
He had bills to pay.
And he paid them.
But howl
By borroicing money.
Aud whyy
Because those who owed him and
could but would not pay
He went to his customer on Satur.
day afternoon with bill, maybe OF
$500. And it wasn't paid. Then he
went 20 another with a bill of $3.50,
aud to another with one for $1,000,
and TO some one for n bill of only
Sl.00.
He needed $50. q
And he got SO.
Then he had to borrow sl7.
But, if he had been paid bis dues he
would have had $3.50 to lay away.
Now he is in debt but he does not
feel himself so; because his debtors
owe him so much more 'nun he owes
his creditors
But why didn't his customers pay
him ycsierdayy
He had been TO church to day; and,
on his way, he met one Of them who
carries a gold.hcaded cane aud very
expensive fur.
lie met another who hired a very
fine livery rig.
And one who was out showing one
Of the finest suits that could be bought

And one that had a $50 greenbacx
and was hunting for some one TO play

Then our mechanic went to church
and sat down beside his customer that
owed him s400. He said he hadn't
it on Saturday afternoon when the
mechanic needed it. After the ser.
