H. J. Ramsdell relates in the Phil

the late James w. Bosler. He saws:
Such universal mourning l never saw.
Onthe day of the funeral the picturesque

situated was thronged with people, rich
and poor, high and low, men, women,
children. In the house we're the rel

Perhaps the wealthiest woman in the
world is the Russian Grand Duchess
Catherine, widow of the Duke George
of Mecklenberg-Strelitz. She inherited,
through her mother, one-half of the fab.
ulous wealth amassed by the Empress
Catharine III. and her son Paul, the
other half having descended to the
reigning family. The Grand Duchess
makes good use Of her riches. She is no,
only patroness of science and art, but
maintains at her own expense several
hospitals in St. Petersburg, pro-
viding also for talented young physicians
with means for scientific journeys and
investigations. Near'her palace she has
established an eating house for indul.

A Tenderfoot at Tombstone
rom The Middletown Transcript.

From the Middletown Transcript.
A few days ago flash young man
from an eastern college arrived at Tomb
stone, Arizona, and registered his Tame
at the principal hotel. A socially in
clined person in blue shirt and wide
trimmed hat, who chanced to be in the
Office, good-naturedIy answered every
question and volunteered vast amount
of interesting information about Arizona
i'll general and Tombstone in particular.
/ "Do you see them hills?" asked the
Tombstoner, pointing through one ofthe
Office windows. ''Well, them hills is
chock full of pay dirt"
The young man from the east looked
shocked.
my dear sir" he said. proudly, but
kindly, "you should say those hills are
not, them hills ISL
The Tombstoner was silent for mo-
ment. He looked the young man from
the east critically over as if he was estl-
mating the size of coffin he would wear
Then drawing out an ivory stocked sew
en- shooter of elaborate style and finish,
he said in soft, mild, musical tone of
voice that sounded like wildwood
brook coursing DER its pebble bed: My
gentle unsalted tenderioot from he land

you and me disagrees on and we might
as well have 1t settled rightnow. have

them hills is is correct ..and Pm going
to stand by that opinion while I've got a
shot left. I'll give you jest three min
utes to think calmly over the subject, for
you probably spoke in haste the first
time, and then I'll hear your decision"
The young man from the east looked
down the delicately-chased barrel of the
revolver into the placid depths of the
eye of the Tombstoner and began to feel
that many points in grammar are un-
certain and liable to grow more so.
Then he thought of the coroner's in
quest and of the verdict, "came to his
death by standing in front of Colorado
Toms seven-shooter," aud of the long
pine box going east by express with sos
charges on it, and before halt the three
minutes was up he was ready to acknow-
ledge his error. "Siuce he had thought
it over calmly" he said, she believed
that them hills is is right. He had
spoh IL on the spur of the moment" he
added, "and begged q thousand pardans
ior his presumptuols effort TO substitute
bad grammar for good"
The Tombstoner forpaye him freely
and, grasping his hand, said:

after you thoughta a moment. I admire

ing when he knows he's wrong. Come

How the Fast Powder Train Ran
Toward Antietam Battle Ground

AT the battle of Antietam Me CIelian',
am.lunition ran short. A train was dis
patched from Baltimore via The North
q IN Contra, Railway to Harrisburg
thence via Cumberland Valley Railroad
to Hagerstown, Md, which was within q
few miles Of the front. The engineer oil
this ammunition train had orders to run
TO Hagerstown as quickly as his engine
would do it. Sounding few quick
whistles and the train dashed through
the startled towns of the Cumberland
Valley, sweeping the surface of the
ground clear of leaves and dirt along the
track. II seemed TO be travelling in q
whirlwind of dust and smoke. saw il
whirl chickens, which were close to the
track, around and dash them away as j
cyclone had struck them. The train
reached Hagerstown in safety; where
the freight was quickly transferred to
army wagons, and soon the bullets
were Tickling the seconds" and the
shells booming in Lees front.
The Rev. I. De Witt Tallnage spoke
of this incident in one of his serm ons
saying:
The ammunition at Antietam had
given out. A train went laundering
down toward the battlefield. 1t stopp ed
not for any crossing; thev put down
brakes for no grade; they held up for nt
peril; the wheels we're on fire with speec
as they dashed by. Ii the train did moi
come rp in time with the ammunition
the battle might be lost.
