True Politeness.

breakfast, and were very quiet for 0
long time. At last the fat man re.

are so swollen that / can only keep my

"And how odd that am affected lust
the opposite way" replied the other.
MY feet shrink so that l could almost

There was another long interval of
silence, during which each stole eau
tiOus glances at the other.

chorus.
As they were making the exchange
the porter came up with the remark:

A Cats Gratitude,

My cat is, with regard to his meals, Z
most grateful cal, and however hungry
hemay be he never thinks of eating until
he has purred his thanks and rubbed his
head against my hand. This trait of

most affecting manner. One day

strange antipathy to cats. was going

been forgotten, and had been shut up
the whole day without morsel of food
or drop of milk. OF course, imme-
diately procured some milk and meat
for him, and carried it up to him. The
poor creature was half wild with hap

The Device Designed by an Intelligent
Railroad Man to Relieve n Blockaded
Train.
''This little snow snap doesn't amount
to anything" remarked an old railroad
man. If you want to see snow that 6
snow, just go out to the Sierra Nevadas
on the Central Pacific. If train gets
stuck in drift here for half an hour
people think it an awful thing, but re-
member once where a whole train was
buried in the snow for week. An ava
lanche came down the mountain side
and buried 'em under some hundred feet
OF snow. There want much use of
digging for 'em, cause the snow would
pile in as fast as it could be dug out.
But the passengers were starving to
death and something had to be done.
The relief party got a surveyor to locate
the train, as nearly as possible. and it
was designed to put party on the top
of the slide with a drill to put hole
down through to the train in which some
food and drink could be poured. But it
was soon found that the slide was shift
ing all the time near the top, and the
tubing which was put in the drill hole
was broken of. That scheme had to be
abandoned. Then suggested a plan
that was Immediately adopted. We
rugged up little iron concern to fit one
of the rails, attached rubber hose to
it, and pushed it in by means of iron
rods. Putting on one rod after another
we succeeded in showing it clear in so
that it reached the train. Using the
lx,Y for l.,
the prisoners what they should do. At
taching the air pump on the engine to
this hose they pumped in hot soup and
bits of meat and bread, vegetables, etc.,
every time they wanted a meal. Be-
tween meals they pumped in whisky,
beer, kerosene oil, and stuff like that
all through the same tube. Then had
another idea. By supplying the hose
with plenty of hot-water, and by keep
ing the pump going, we succeeded in
thawing enough of the snow along the
rail to let the passengers crawl out after
they had been in there week. But
that air pump saved their lives. / tell
you an air pump is fine thing"
%, certainly" said an incredulous
listener, shut will you please tell me
how they managed to keep fire in the
locomotive and work the pump under
the snowp"
Don't know anything about that.
They did it, that's all Hope no one
doubts my truth and veracity. If I'd
a-been in there I'd have known all about
it. But l was on the outside. You
can't ask a man to be in two places at |
once and know everything, can you?"--

Many succumb prematurely to this
vicious assailant. whose eternal
object is to tear down. wear out and
destroy. A want of energy, a want
of stamina, a want of repellant act
iyety on the part of thoughtless in
dividuals causes many to become
easy and apparently willing prey
to this ruin and devastation OF
mankind. A remedy composed of
proper herbs and roots that will
build up, repair and strengthen the
weak portions of the human system,
should assidiously be taken at the
approach of disease. Don't wait for
him to obtain foot-hold, don't wait
until he becomes your master. Meet
his attack at once and promptly.
Do you desire to know a remedy on
such times OF emergency. Then re-
member that DIR. GGYSOfT'S YELLOW

the true friend in need. It is
the safest assistant Of nature in

were, the machinery of life, and cures
when all other remedies have failed,
such diseases as IMPURE BLOOD, Pooh
