STURGEON DON'T BITE.--There
were four or five Of us on the long
wharf running out into the Gulf at
Mississippi City, and We had been
fishing away for half an hour with
out any luck when a big fat man
named Blake, from Ohio, suddenly
called out:
Say, boys, let's have a swim. y"
1t was too hot, and we were too
lazy, but Blake declared that he'd
have a swim by himself. He of
with his clothes, backed down
into the water, and for a quarter
of a hour hung TO a pile and
splashed the water, not being able
to swim a stroke. BY and by he
climbed out, but scarcely had his
feet touched the plank when one of
the men sang out:
"By the great horn spoon! but
see there ~
Ten feet away from the end
of the wharf were two sharks at least
seven feet long, and the water was
so clear that every wink of their
eye could be seen.
"Yes, a cuople of sturgeon !"
observed Blake as he Waddled for
ward. Il saw 'em hanging around
when I went down, but sturgeon
don't bite !"
When he came to fully realize
what an escape he had had he sat
down on the head Of a pile and
blubbered like a boy who had stub
bed his toe.--M. QUAD.

The trestle had given way beneath
the strain.

Down came our engine, the three
baggage cars, passenger car, and
| don't know how many freight
cars of the other train, on to the
ice. The whole wreck, as it fell
down. seemed enveloped in flames
for the oil had splashed over every
thing. and the blazing Goals from
the tire-box exploded it on the in
slant.
When the engine struck the ice,
it broke through, and with a hiss
went to the bottom Of the deep
water there; and on top of it came
tumbling down all the other cars.
For moment following the
crash there was an almost complete
silence; then agonizing screams,
and prayerful cries for help from
the imprisoned passengers.
We who were not disabled did what
we could. The seven rear cars did
not ruin into the chasm. but two Of
them burned on the track, along
with a number of freight cars.
Twenty-one Of the passengers were
killed outright, and a still greater
number were injured.
AS we worked there in the noise,
heat and awful confusion Of that
night, / cast many an anxious
glance round for Doc, hoping and
half expecting that he had got clear
and would be at work with us try
ing to get olt the passengers. But
| saw nothing Of him, and by day
break l felt sure that he had gone
down with the engine.
The locomotive was not hauled
up out of the water till the next
week. Then we found his body
jammed down under the engine on
the bed of the creek. His hands.
face and Clothes had been sco-ch I'd !;
but whether lie was drowned, or
burned to death. We could not tell.
He had met his death at hisspost
Of duty; gone out of the word with
his hand on the lever; giving his
own life that the lives Of others
might be saved-a man Of whom
any people may be proud.
