A Remarkable Story.

The St. Thomas (Ont.l EUenif15 Journal tellf
the following exceedingly wonderful story
concerning Michigan man:
On Sunday morning as the c. S. X. express
going east was nearing Fletcher, a man who
was passenger on one OF the coaches jumped
from his seat and ran hastily along the aisle to
the platform and jumped from the. flying
train. The speed Of the train must have been
forty-fye miles an hour. and those who saw
the man make his terrible leap thought there
was not the slightest chance for his life. The
rope was pulled by the brakeman, the engire
reversed, the airbrakes put on, and the train
backed up to the point where the man made
his sudden exit, the train men being all ready
to pick up the fragments of what WAS sup
posed to be crazy passenger. However they
were mistaken, and the train was met by tie
SAID passenger hooting it down the track at a
lively rate. He was Almost min lurea. and us
soon as he was aboard and the train making
headWaY toward Buffalo again he was besieged
with questions tralnmen, conductor ana pas
sengers all being eager to know the reason OF
his hasty Decentralization. He said his name
was Il. A. Cimery, his age twenty-five, his bus1-
ness locomotive fireman on the Grand Rap ds
Ind ana hallway. He was gong home to Butfa-
10 after a two years absence, and had gone to
sleep in the coach. as one naturally would AZ
three o'clock in the morning. While he slept
he dreamed that he was in the cab of his en-
gine and his mate shouted to him: !" The
throttle is stopped, If you want to save your
life. Jump And he jumped, as has been de
seribed. Tt is a good thing he did not jump
minute sooner, Or he would have landed in
the stream below the bridge this side OF I'll
bury. As it was, he was scarcely injured at
all, his arm being slightly bruised and
scratched. He did not wake MP till he struck
the q ound and discovered the train long

earn their living by their BRAINS" said Mr.; A. II.

who do desk work are tempted to stimulate for it's
very hard on the nerves and stomach"

AS for example, In my own case, stuck to III
desk on this paper until my nerves were like a
bunch of telegraph wires after a gale, and my
stomach kept about as good time as two-dollar

advised that, but one day caught on to an 'ad Of

THE FIRST JERSEY

Jerseys will have another summer of
lfavors very likely. A well-known ac-
tress tells US something that we never
heard before about these garments.
While in London she assisted to invent
the jersey. Her companion in the III.
vention is the wife of an Irish peer Ond
day the actress, with her maid, called upon
the lady, and carried with her pair OF
tights she had just bought to wear upon
the stage She unrolled them to show
what charming shade of gray they were.
The actress pulled part of the elastic silk
goods across her arm and said; "Oh, il
we could only get corsage to fit like
thatf Let me have them a mon.ent, y
exclaimed the lady. She drew the tights
around her shoulders, pinned them to
her dress, and there at that moment
was born the inspiration of the jersey we
all wear and never tire Of The two
women drove to the theatrical costumer,
ordered another pair of tights. as the
material could not be bought, and made
OF them a eorsage. She wore it quite
three months before any one else caught
the idea; then prominent dealer dis
covered it, Mrs. Langtry was among the
first customers, and from her it took III
name.

Mr.. Edwards, thought Emily was a

Certainly she is, growled the couscien-

grace of God can live with. but you
can't.
