How Detruit Young Man Was mistaken
for q burglar

How Dstroit Young Man Was Mistaken
for u burglar.
Ono young man had u "girl, "
tho daughter of one of Detroit .
wealthy and distinguished citi-
zens. He goes to sec her every
night, and besides, does see her
every morning-vcry early-wheu
he bids her goodbye till the next
evening. 1t was "a good while
past midnight when he took his
leave u short time ago. He had
had n hint from his hoped-for fa-
ther-in-law that he made too
much noise in his exits, and that
he (thc expected f-in-l) might
wake up and take him for bur-
glar. a wink is as good us II
kick to Il fellow who wants to he
OH good terms with II girls fa-
thcr, and so ut the next breaking
up, before the dawn's early
light, and the young man let him
self out of the house, he did it so
quietly and crcpt away so stealth.
lily that he aroused the suspicious
of u patrolman. The policeman
was new ON the beat and anxious
to win promotion by the capture
of the burglar that was keeping
Detroit awake ut nights. No
sooner had tine young man softly
shut the front gate than out from
behind the trees pounced the po-
liceman. On went the "brcc-
let's" in q twinkle, down to the
patrol box was tho young man
dragged, and in II few minutes up
came the patrol wagon. The
young man had always been
taught that there was nothing like
GOODNESS and frankncss to get out
of u scrapc like this. So he told
the whole story to the policeman,
tried to soften his heart by ap-
pealing to the tender recollections
of his own counting days, and to
the trouble he had probably had
with his prospective fathcr-in-law.
But his GOODNESS and tho many
details which he related in or
der to impress the policeman with
his truthfulncss, only made that
official all the more sure that he
had got prize-the very bur-
glar, in fact, who had been so
cool and familiar and bold in his
conversation with his victims. 80

A Little Story.

81 have a little story to tell
you, boys" the old doctor said
to the young people the other
evening. Zone day-a long hot
day 1t had been, tool met my
father on the road to town."
81 wish you would take this
package to tho village for me
Jim," he said, hcsitating.
.Now, I was a boy of twelve,
not fond of work, and was just
out of the hay field where had
been ut work since daybreak.

wanted to get my supper and
wash and dress for singing-school.
My first impulse was to refuse,
and do it harshly, for was vex-
ed that he should ask this of me
after my long days work. If !
did refuse, he would 60 himself.
He was u gentle, patient old man.
But something stopped me; one
of Gods good angels, | think.
'Of course, father, I'll take it, ,
l said, heartily, giving my scythe
to one of the men. He gave me
the package.
'Thank you, Jim,' he said, Il
was going myself, but somehow l
don't feel very strong to-day
He walked with me to the road
that turned off to. the. town, and,
us he left, put his hand OH my
arm, saying again: Thank you,
my son. You have always been
u good boy to me, Jim.'
Il hurried into town and back
again
when / came near the house !
saw II crowd of farm hands Mt the
door. One of them came to me,
the tears rolling down his face.
your father he said, fell dead
just us he reached the house. The
last words he spoke were to you
sI'm an old man now, but have
thanked God over aud over again
in all the years that have passed
since that hour that those last
words were: you have always
been n good boy to me-

Accidents that are Costly.

You occasionally hear people
find fault because ina,,agers OF
railroads do not prevent accidents,
said q railroad man in Jersey City
the other day. "TheIe may be
bears among railroad owners, who
rejoice in wrecking railroads that
they do not own, but to the prac.
tical railroads a train wreck is a
big loss directly, besides the loss in
prestige which follows"
"Is the rolling stock so costlyf'
"Yes, a freight train, for in
stance that rolls down an EN-.
bankment, where lalfof 1t is burn
cd, will give you n good idea OF
the loss.
The average engine is worth ST.
900. a common freight car is
worth s475, or perhaps s5OO. The
ordinary gondolas are worth from
SiO0 to $42j. An engine is rarely
ruined beyond repair, but o wreck
can knock $4,000 out of it just as
easy Us rolling of q los. A burned
car il a ruined car, of course, aud
repairs on those that are crushed
may cost anywhere from sixty to
two hundred dollars each. If a
passenger cur, such as are used on
ordinary roads, is burned, $4,000

are for the cars in use, and not new

see that wrecks may happen which
