A TOUCHING INCIDENT ON A PENNsYL-
vANIA RAILROAD TRAIN.
From the Elkland (Pa.) Journal.
A lady entered car OIL the lakewood
road one day the past week leading u
little girl. perhaps four year old. The
mother sat down and lifted the little one
to the seat beside her. The child was
nibbling At bit of cake or sugar, now
and then turning her face, full Of child
ish love, up to her mother, and murmur-
ing some almost rnintelligible words Of
affection. Opposite to mother and
child sat another younger lady, who Of
ten smelled fresh rose which she held.
The innocent little one before her At
tracted her attention, and the natural
kindness Of the sympathetic woman
heart prompted her to at once offer the
fragant flower to the little budding lily
opposite. 30 she leaned bit forward
and spoke:
"Baby want the pnseyp"
But the child seemed not to hear.
Perhaps 1t was the noise Of the moving
car that prevented. Then she spoke a
little louder and held the flower forward
temptingly:
"baOy may nave the pOSey
The mother heard, for she looked to-
ward the other lady and smiled-and
o, such look of hear, felt gratitude, Of
motherly love, yet heavily saddened
with such an expressive tinRe Of sorrow
a. is seldom seen. And still the lady Of
the rose pressed upon the little one &C.
ceptance of the flower.
"Baby, take the rose" holding It al
most to the child's hand. And now il
seemed she was heard, for the blue eyes
turned full upon her would-be patron,
and In q moment she strangely drew
back and turned her eyes appealinglv
toward her mothers face. The lady witt
the flower showed her bewilderment In
her look while panied expression flittet
across the face u the mother, who lean
ed forward and whispered just word
"My darling Is blind"

and much less how to instruct you III
the way to make good article which
will sell, upon the evaporators which
they will sell you. And again, there is
a legion OF mills which, ike g Hodges
razor" was made to SELL" and to many
these mills will seem "most wondrous
cheap" when really they are not worth
the eighteen pence"
You cannot afford to buy any inett-
cient machinery, and you should buy
of those who will give you the best of
instructions from their own store of
knowledge, which they have been gath
eriDg up by close observation from
many long years Of experience, and
those who have become emlnently sue
cessful in the business are capable of
imparting knowledge which is of more
worth than any Instructions which can
be given by any manufacturers. Good
machinery, and information gained
from those who are well qualified to
give it, connected with good common
sense and perseverance,, are essential
elements to success. st. Paul Pioneer
