Many are the stories told of Pap"

the Milwaukee Road. He was uobly
revered by the employees everywhere on

attached to the '.old man." as he was
called. One day he was going over the
road. and. while the train was waiting
at station. the wheel tester. a trusty
Irishman. was busy tapping the coach
wheels with his long-handled hammer.
Mr.. Merrill watched him few mo-
ments, and. approaching the man. said:
..Let me take that hammer and show
YOU how TO try wheel" The Irish
man paid no attention to him. but kept
on with his work Several times Mr..
Merrill asked for the hammer rs he fol-
lowed the man from wheel to wheel.
but the fellow never looked at him. He
passed to the other side of the train,
when the conductor said: Mike, why
didn't YOU give the old man the ham,
mcr?" ..Pwhat's that We say? the old
man is it?' said Mike. Strengthening
with much surprise, and quickly started
for Mr.. Merrill. Approaching him
graciously and with a reyerent bow. he
said: Mr.. Merrill, | beg yer pardon,

Il. akeman Bresnahan's Narrow Escape.
The Xenia Gazette Of Wednes esday says: "a
q lite painful and possibly serious accident
happened yesterday evening to Tim Bresna-
han, brakeman ON John Browns train that
runs between here and Sprin. field. Con-
ductor Brown has small target rifle with
which he and his brakemen have been anus
ing themselves shoe ing at game along the
route and sometimes at mark in tine car.
In this way they have become quite expert
as marksmen, often sitting up parlor match
aud lighting it by shooting portion of the
head off and now and then performing
other fests. Yesterday Brown and
Bresnshan were pracricing by shoot-
ing at the empty shells of the gun, which
they SET up in the rear door Of the caboose,
the same being open. Bresnehan had fred
several times and was watching Brown when
bullet struck the iron facirg OF the door sill
and rebounded, striking him in the left eye,
causing very painful wound. The particle
was removed at once, and did not lodge very
deeply in the ball of the eye, and Tim is
around today with his eye done up and says
that he feels all right, but there is no telling
yet how it may affect the sight. Tim is a
favorite among the railroad boys and Con-
ductor Brown feels awful bad about it, al
though it cannot be blamed onto him."

The station House.

The s'a,ion house is gradually filling up.
Beside the chance boarders who are picked up
from day to day, 1t has twenty-sight regular
patrons, who 60 out in the morning 10 labor
for the public welfare on the stone pile and
:eturn at night TO sleep. To these twenty
eight three more will probably be added to-
day. These three are Robert Long, George
Smith and John Davidson, who were arrested
yesterday afternoon by kerns and Wilson for
lettering around the Little Miami round
house. These migratory gentlemen were
treated 10 a ride in the patrol wagon as far as
the station, but for some little time to come
they will pgob.bly have to wearl out sole
leather in going to and from their labors on
the stone pile.
Besides the aboye, William Smith is the
olly addition to tie Woods and Do;ze family
made last night. William noticing that the
moon shoue brightly and the air was so.t and
balmy concluded that such nights we're not
made for nothing and that last evening must
not be allowed 10 slip by unimproved. So
William put side-boards on his little wagon
and hiiching mis- fiery s.eed thereto proceeded
to Taylor's cosl pile aud tried his hand at
coal mining. He was interrupted by Cald-
we'll, who, justly incensed at the cheek of a
man in trying to steal coal at o'c.ock on a
moonlight ght, hustled him off to the sta
tiou house. We don't know what was done

How to Hang Pictures.

In regard to the hanging of pictures,
q few cardinal principles should not be
lost sight of. Pictures are made to be
seen. They should not be hung so high
that one has to stretch ones neck to see
them. A picture highly worked up in
detail should be closer to the eve than a
strong, broad composition, in which all
parts of the composition are put in in
masses. Family pictures should be con-
fined TO family rooms. The light on a
picture should come from the same side
as the light in a picture. Pictures on
the line of sight should be hung flat on
the wall; those above the line of sight
may for convenience of inspection be
tilted slightly forward. Large heavy
frames should never be tilted forward
directly above sofas or chairs that are
close to the wall. They always seem
dangerous. 1t is not pleasant to have
the consciousness of a two hundred
pound man just over ones head. and
his whole body swung out of the center
of gravity. Groups of pictures are
only effective when there is harmony of
subject. of color and of fitness in the
framing. Old paintings and new ones
almost always injure each other when
hung close together. Few pictures
should be hung in the dining room. and
care should be taken in the selection of
subjects. The writer was once obliged
to take his dinner with an Oriental exc
cutioner and Il decapitated victim on
one side of him, and lugubrious
Christian martyr by Max on the other.
1t was almost as distressing as a cruci-
fiyion in billiard-room or the death of
Marat in bathroom. 1t is not appe-
tizing TO have realistic pictures of dead
fish in the dining-room. nor does it add
to the cheerfulness of n parlor to give
1.-The Death Bed of Abraham Lincoln"
prominent place. Glazed pictures
should never be hung opposite win
dow. as they are sure to reflect the
light disagrceably. Masonic certifi-
Gates, certificates of membership in a
missionary society, etc. are not pic
lures at all. no matter how much orna-
mented. They are purely personal af-
fairs, and should not be framed or hung
at all. They interest nobody but the
owner and his dearest friends. and are
almost never ornamental. One should
not be egotistical in his pictures any
more than in his conversation.-NeV

AMYsrERIoUs DISAPPEARANCE.

In these days of mysteries and disap-
pearances. it is comforting TO know that
bank cashiers are not the only fugitives.
There are old tormentors who are not de-
faulters. Some of them stay much longer
than they are wanted. In fact, they are
not wanted at all and TIE only gratitica-
ton in connection with their history Is
when they get out and go away.
The experience of Mr.. Isaiah I. Smith,
of Chicago, shows how an unwelcome in
truder NAV sometimes take sudden leave,
and be very welcome in his going.
Mr.. Smith is resident of Waukegan,
H., a few miles out of Chicago, and comes
to town every day in the duty of his regu-
lar business, which is that of a miller and
dealer in flour. His face and form we
regularly see "on change" where he is
well-known to the business men OF the city.
Mr.. Smith had an old tormentor. That
tormentor has disappeared. The mystery
of its disappearance is best told by Mr..
Smith himself, in a conversation which he
had with one of our editors who recently
visited him. Mr. Smith is CHEEKY gentle
man, of nearly three score and ten, and
gave his account substantially as follows:
For a good many years rheumatism
had Its hold on me- For iiVe years l was
continually martyr TO it. With every
change of the weather had severe attacks.
These were chiefly in the chest, but some
what in the arms. For considerable
while l could not dress myself. My
shoulders gave me almost constant pain, SO
much so that | could not, with any degree
of comfort, lean back against chair, or
against the wall. Thepain interiered with
my sleep. Sometimes at night paroxysm
would take me suddenly. There were
times at which my pains We're so great
that thought l could not live an hour.
Friends and doctors prescribed and ad-
vlsed almost everything on earth. l tried
great many OF the things recommended.
dIeted; l gave up smoking; took NOR
phine, and many other medicines. Nothing
gave me ANYTHING better than temporary
relief, until L took Athlophoros. At the
time l took this remedy, the rheumatism
had attacked my stomach with neuralgia
pains and cramps; so you see that my case
was very severe one.
Il took Athiopho- rs exactly as directed,
only double dose, ior my pains were so
very severe. Very soon the pains mys-
teriously disappeared. Alter while they
returned, coming at regular periods, and
each time with less force. Then they went
all away, and since that, | am happy to
say, they have never come back again.

CURES FOR PILES,

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some effection OF the kidneys or
neighboring organs. AT times, symptoms OF
indigestion are present, fatulency, uueasiness
Of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like per-
spiration, producing very dissgreeable Itch
ing. after getting warm, is a common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application OF DR..

upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
