the loveliest child I ever saw with a
great glory of golden hair around her
head, like the picture of an angel. Ifelt

whose face had come to him in that
awful'moment on the flying engine.
"The little thing let 90 her mothers
hand as she came near, looking up with

was a purse of gold. You could see the
great coins shining through the silk net

room was still as death. Iheard one GREAT
sob rise in my boys throat, and then he
lifted the child in his arms. and stood
up, holding her, straight and tall.
but he did not take the purse. No,
darlingo he said, in a low, tender voice,
SO clear that everybody heard. Then
he kissed her, and lifted one long curl
from her neck.
"'This is the only gold I want!' he
said, and looked at the child's mother
with a question in his eyes.
1.-The lady nodded, and my bow took
out a little pair of scissors from his
vest-pocket, and cut the curl off gently,
and put it carefully away.
"And, sir, if they had cheered before.
what was it now? The arched ceiling
rang, the gas-jets fared and fickered,
and the very pendants on the chande-

But he would not take the money
then O afterwards.
" 1t is not ours! What can we do
with it? We cannot throw it away!'
the superintendent said.
:In tell you, then, sir!!' said Jack,
at last. Brakeman Jim Flaherty was
killed last week. He left a sick wife
and six little children. Give the money

remarkable history. When Jim
Fisk was President Of the old Erie,
he had a car built for his own private
use, and it was named after Josie
Mansfield. The car was built down
in Delaware somewhere, think, and
it cost mint of money. When Fisk
ordered it he gave only instructions to
build him q car in which he could
travel and enjoy himself. When it was
finished and delivered to Fisk, he was so
pleased with the workmanship thst he
Immediately sent check for $1,000 to
the man who had designed the car and
had charge Of the work. The actual
cost of the car was not far from sos
900 which, in those days, was an enor-
nous sum for one car. II was fitted

style. Ii was Snished inside with

sleeping apartments and dressing and
toilet rooms. The remainder Of the
car was a travelling drawing room. In
those days the idea Of taking meals on
board train was unheard OF, but Fisk
used TO have wine and delicacies fol-
lunch aud hired a butler, whose special
duty was to take care Of the car wher'
ever it went.

Mr.. Hamilton Disston, the million

life insurance than probably any other
man in the United States. He has

is regarded as his rival in this is ex.

In order to maintain his enormous
insurance Mr.. Disston pays to the va

said: This insurance OF Mr.. Disston
may look to be enormous, but really It
is not. II is impossible ioF some men
to insure to an amount that would be.
gin to compensate their estates for
their death. Now, Mr.. Disston is

Those familiar with Admission
know that we now have the East Ten.
nesse, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
that connects us with Rome on the
north, and Montgomery and Selma on
the south; the Georgia Plcife, that
connects us with Atlanta on tho east,
and Birmingham on the west, and the
Admission and Atlantic, that will soon
connect us with the Central railroad
Of Georgia systems on the south, near

them we are enabled to ship cotton as

that the Atlanta or Montgomery

run through as fine a

other fields with which to build up the
trade Of Admission, and it is almost de.
fnitely settled the road will be pushed
forward from Admission to Gadsden,
connecting there with the river traffic
and bringing cotton and coal into the
market. 1t is also thought feasible by
the management Of the road to build

The Admission and Atlantic is cou-
trolled by Messrs. Tyler & Noble, the
owners Of the Admission, with abuns

never discriminate against Admission,
and we can feel safe that it will be a
check on the o'he. roads entering here,
that assuring always cheap freight and
passenger rates. This only adds an.
other argument in favor Of Admission
as a place Of business and residence,
