Courage is a noble trait With some it re-
quires greater courage to live than it does to
die. When disease racks the frame, when
sores cover the person, when aches are in every
Joint, when the muscles are soft and flabby,
when the least exertion gives fatigue, when
the mind is filed with gloom and dependency,
what is there in life worth living, and yet
many exc out just such miserable existence,
living only for tn Sc who love them. When it
is generally known that Browns Iron Bitters
will cure the above disorders how many hearts
will be made glad! How many homes made
happy?

Philadelphia Press.

A genuine cowboy is worth describing.
In many respects he is a wonderful crea-
ture He endurcs har9ships that would
take the lives of most men, and is, there
fore a perfect type of physical manhood
He is the finest horseman in the world
and excels in al! rude sports of the field
He aims to be dead shot, and uniycr-
sally is.
Constantly during the herding season
he rides seventy miles a day, and ma
jority of the year sleeps in the open air.
His life in the saddle makes him wor-
ship his horse, and it, with rifle and Il
six-shooter, complete his happiness. OF
vice in the ordinary sense ne knows
nothing. He is rough, uncouth, brave
and generous creature, who never lies or
cheats.
~ II is mistake TO imagine that they
are dangerous set. Any one is as safe
with them as with any people in the

hunting for fight. In their eyes death
is mild punishment for horse stealing.
lnoeed, II is the highest crime known To
the unwritten law of the ranch. Their
life, habits, education and necessities
breed this feeling in them But with all
this disregard Of human life there are less
murderers and cut-throats graduated
from the cowboys than from the better
educated classes of the East who come
oft here for venture or gain.
They delight in appearing rougher
than they are. To a tender. foot, as they
call an Eastern man, they love to tell
blood-curdling stories and impress him
with the dangers on the frontier. But
no man need get in a quarrel with them
unless he seeks it, or get harmed unless
he commits some crime.
They very often own an interest in the

SUPERSTITlOuS OF THE ROAD.
An Old Engineer who Does Not Believe In
what Many Do.

! So.
syrause, New York, Herald.
Some time ago man was struck by
an engine on the Central road, near the
Amsterdam station,and killed.
you may bet that two more n en- will
meet there death here within a veiy
short time," said the engineer, "for il
one is killed three are almost sure to be. -
As ifin verification of his prediction a
second person was shortly after killed,
and now railroaders are waiting for the
third.
mo there was no particular reason for
saying that there would be three deaths
because there was one" said the engin-
eer who made the prediction as he talked
toa Herald reporter at the central station
this morning; but you know we folks
have our ,tions about things, and e
generally get them pretty near right"
"Why are railroad engineers so sup
erstiti us?" the Herald representative
asked Dan" Rice, who has been on the
road ten odd years.
"That's the question that bothers me-"
was the reply. at is true that half of
the railroad men believe in signs, but
am not one of that class"
didn't you ever carry horseshoe in
your cab?"
NO, he replied" yet there are lots of
hn u+ntt1Inft ltaur a trni, =,
mile unless there was horseshoe close
beside them, and they think they are
extremely lucky if they can find one on
the street. And | tell them that they
are, for horseshoe is worth something
but then they would be luckier if they
found a ten dollar billh
"What other freaks do engineers have?"
"Oh. half of them won't start out ON
Friday, for they think that it is unlucky.
! know men on the Central road who
wouldn't 90 over the tack for the first
time on Friday if you'd gave them all
the money their engines could pull,
Friday is bad day for man who has
got to be hung, but never saw that it
made any difference with the railroad"
"But how do yon explain about the
men being killed at Amsterdam"
"Oh, he might have said that twenty
would be killed, and as as many as that
might have been if they had been care
less and if the trains had been going fast
always tried to be careful when was
on the road, but one day when l was
running an engine on the Erie, my en-
gine struck man and killed him. Now,
am not superstitious, and was not then
bat ! thought some one else would get
killed there, and halfa dozen people did.
But that was because it was narrow cut
Just around sharp curve, and folks were
in the habit Of walking along the track
in that vicinity. Such things are the re-
suit of natural causes, and remember
young man, that when you try to find q
foundation for an engineers superstition
YOU are going to get left"
How does il happen that so many of
them see ghosts along the roadP
"The ones who see the ghosts and COB
lins are the ones who have too much
benzine inside of them. 1t isn't any
harder for them to see ghosts than it is
snakes No, there is nothing in any of
these things. If man behaves him
self and does the best he can, he will
get along all right and be lucky whether
he has a horseshoe around his shop or
moi, and he can do just as a good things
on Friday as he can on any other day"
