Dave York's Trip Over the Range.

From the Virginia Enterprise.
The sun was sinking behind the snowy peaks
of the Rockies, gliding their glistening tops
with rosy light, as poor Dave York was borne
by the boys to his cabin. He had been terribly
hurt by a blast in a mine. They carried him
into the rude hut. and laid him on pile OF soft
bearskins before the fire. He was suffering in
tensely. but he bore it like hero. There they
left him with his partner Dan Hamlin. Dan
sat beside the injured man and held his hand,
while the tears silently flowed down his sun
burned cheek. The sun went down. The room
grew dark. and the dancing flames in the fire.

No Time to Tell a Lie.
From the Marietta Journal.

Jesse c. had the reputation of being the
'biggest liar in Georgia, and was never known
to come out behind. One hot day Bill ii. sat on
the shady side Of his barn. After dinner he
saw Jess riding in great haste toward town.
Bill hailed him and went to the gate. Jess
asked what he wanted. ''StOp and tell us q
big lie" said Bill. "No time for lying now"
said Jess. "Your Uncle Soil died suddenly an
hour ago. and | am going for the coroner and
coffin" And on he went Bill ran to the house
and told his wife. She gathered up the
children. He hitched the wagon, loaded in his
family and posted off four miles thro Ugh heat
and dust to Uncle Soils. On arriving he found
the family and two neighbors In the large
kitchen. Uncle Soil buried-to the eyes in half a
big watermelon. The surprise was mutual and
explanations followed. ''We" said Bill, Il
asked Jess for big lie and not only cot it, but
was fool enough to believe it. / wouldn't
believe him again if l knew he was dying"

When Widows are the Most Dan.
gerOuSs

"hen WldGOWS are the Most Dan.
The second year is that in which the widow
is really happy. The somber depths of her
mourning cast aside, she enters the world again
and reOpens her jewel case. Even with very
becoming widows cap on, life is more or less q
blank to woman if she can not wear her
jewels. Now, however, the diamonds, pearls
and opals may reappear, and with what delight
are they not worn? Visions of dresses in deli
cate half tnts, pearl grays, soft lavenders, mix
lures of white and gray or black and white
float before her mind, soon to be realized. Her
new years absence from balls and parties and
crowded rooms has renewed her beauty. and
the same retirement has frightened her eyes
and tinged her cheeks with the freshness OF en-
jOyment with which she prepares to re-enter
the world. Now. indeed, Is the fashionable
widow dangerous and seductive creature.
She knows that she is prettier than ever, and
the consciousness making her more certain of
coming victories gives genuine softness to her
manner Beware Of widows in their second
year! Always dangerous, they are then more
80 than ever. Lght-hearted as girl, she feels
younger every day, and from her own point of
view there Is no more enyiable being to be
found in the world than young. handsome,
rich and lively widow. whose heart is not in
conveniently soft, nor her feelings too acute to
prevent her going through her life ''well
pleased and careless" and ex sracting from 1t as
much of the pleasure and as little of the pain as
may fall to the share OF any moral creature.

The Nickel Plate.

1t is believed that the story of the manner in
which the name, 'Nickel Plate" first came to
be applied to the New York, Chicago & St.
Louis, has never been given in print, says the
Cleveland Herald 1t occurred this way: Dur
ing the time the line was being surveyed, Nor
walk held strong hope Of securing the road The
town offered inducements, and was somewhat
encouraged in the belief that it would secure
the road, so much SO, that 1t grew large under
the hat and made many boasts; 1t patrOniZed
neighboring towns as villages or hamlets, and
styled itself a city, all on account Of survey
line. and the prospect of securing the New York,
Chicago q st. Louis railroad. After time, how
ever, the civil engineers of the road sur
yeyed new route. which comfortably missed
NOrwalk and hit Bellevue. Then the latter town
crowed-crOwed twice. once over its own pros
pective prosperity, and again over the downfall
of NOrwalk. Naturally, NOrwalk was chagrined
and as the road began to take form. and the
town saw itself getting left feeling came over
it similar to that which the fable credits to the
fox in the grape story. In the midst of these
New York. Chicago 4 St Louis railway was not
much account anyway; it was n. G., not the real
stuff. merely nickel plated. When Bellevue
boosted. NOrwalk replied that it might take the
nickelplated Institution and be-happy. Belle
yue did take 1t, and appropriated the term
Nickel Plate, but proudly interpreted it as
meaning something bright. polished and perfect.
The name Nickel Plate" Immediately caught
on. until now, it is more widely known than the
legal title-New York, Chicago & st. Louis.

Important to Travellers.
From the New York Herald

POItdHt ID 1IaVe1cISs
From the New York Herald.
point of much practical interest to pas
sengers travelling on limited tickets has just
been settled by the court of appeals. The
plaintiff had bought ticket for continuous
passage from st. Louis to New York to be used
on the New York Central road from Buffalo to
New York on or before September 26th. With
this ticket he took the New York Central train
at Rochester instead of Buffalo on the afternoon
Of the 26th. Early on the following morning
he was notified by the conductor that the time
specified on the coupon had expired and on re-
fusing to pay the fare demanded he was put Off
thetrain. In the action for damages brought
against it the company claimed that the plain
tiff had no right to travel on the ticket after the
18th. The court OF appeals holds that, as the
ticket had been punched by the conductor on
the 26th, the passenger was entitled afterward
destination. ''When," says the court. 1.-THE
plaintiff entered the train at Rochester on the
afternoon of the 18th of September and pre-
sented his ticket and it was accepted and
punched, 1t was then used within the meaning
of the contract. 1t could then have been taken
up. So far as the plaintiff was concerned it had
then performed it's Office. 1t was thereafter
left with him. not for his convenience. but under
regulations Of the defendant for it's convenience
that it might know that his passage had been
paid for. The co Itract did not specify that the
passage should be completed on or before the
18th. but that the ticket should be used on OF
before that day, and thai it was so used it
seems to us too clear for dispute" The effect
of this decision will be to give passengers in
certain cases. in this state. at least, day of
grace in addition to the time specified in limited
tickets. unless. as they are likely to do the
companies change the conditions on their
tickets.
