A SENSITIVE ENGINEER.
How His Nervous Sensibility Averted
Railroad Disaster.

How His Nervous Sensibility Averted .
Railroad Disaster.
"It beats all" remarked an old rail
road man, show sensitive the nerves
of engineers are when they are on
their runs. Their perceptions are won
derfully keen and delicate. The ex-
perisnced engineer can tell by the very
pull of his engine if everything is
light with the train behind him. And
Ms for signals, why. no matter how
peculiarly or under what disadvantages
they are given. engineers learn to read
the meaning of the signaler almost as
if they were standing by his side.
When they are out on the road. es-
pecially at night, engine men are alert.
All their senses are on edge, as it were,
ready to see, hear, feel or smell signs
of danger. Did,you ever hear of Jim
Fielding, the fireman? No? Well. Jim
is dead now; he never got an engine
he was a sharp one. Drink was his
weakness. He was slave to whisky
But when N was on night run his
perceptions were as keen as those of
any man ever heard of. If you never
heard of Jim of course you never heard
how he prevented wreck one night in
rs. That was the biggest thing Jim
ever did, and so nicely illustrates my
idea that I'll have to tell it. A bridge
had been washed ont, and as the track
walker who discovered it started to
signal the approaching passenger train
he fell down. broke his lantern and the
wind blew the blaze out. The night
was as dark as pitch, and he had no
dry matches, nor no time to expert
ment, either, for the train.
No. 8, was coming round the
curve. Suddenly he remembered that
Jim Fielding was firing No. that night
and happy idea struck him. Pulling
a bottle of whisky from his pocket he
held it in his hand. Just as the engine
of twenty reached him he jerked the
cork out and threw some of the liquor
in the air. Exactly as he thought. Jim
smelled the liquor and told the engineer
to stop. Jim always wanted to stop
where there was liquor. He made the
engineer believe he had seen dan
ger signal, and saved the train. That
was one of the finest examples of keen
perception that have ever heard of.
Wonderful, wasn't Philadelph ia

of the swindle in my possession-a num-

This seemed to have little effect. as this
very incompetent officer only folded his

SELF.PRESERvAn0N THE FIRST LAW
OF NATURE.

In these degenerate days when ennui
or a morbid craving for excitement
alternately depresses or enlivens the
animal pulse of unfortunate humanity,
word. blow, pistol shot too often
ends the chapter of life and darkens
with gloom and sorrowing regret muir
derer's future. Truly self-preserya-
ton is the first law of nature" but this
in its fullest and grandest sense should
include a preservation of ones equanim-
ity of temper, preservation of happy
consciousness of living and doing right
ly, a preservation of that disposition
which shows a regard for the lives and
feelings of others, all of which makes
life endurable to our associates and en-
jOyab.e to ourselves. Again, a knOwl
edge of that which promotes and that
which impairs the harmonious action Of
natural bodily functions is essential to
the best preservation of all there is in
life worth living. To this end judi
ciouS selection of remedial agents
should unerringly be made when the
wheels of perfect health begin to run
slow, when the stomach grows weak,
when the liver feels sore, when the kid
neys give pain. when natural functions
cause distress, and gloomy forebodings
become constant companions. The
wisest selection of medicine for coun-
teracting such evidences OF Ill health and
restoring robust strength to all parts Of

prove themselves sure game for the vari-
Gus types OF cheats who exc ont a per-
iious livelihood by trading upon their
creduIity.
The world never will hear the complete
details of all the tricks played on the IN
wary. Many who have come to grief
reason philosophically that they have
bought their sad experience at the price of
the amount out of which they have been
cheated, and so will not by recourse to the
aid of the authorities, and its consequent
publicity, allow themselves to be the butt
or laughing stock of their friends.
Foremost among the many cheats of all
thickly populated localities, are the
''bunco" men. Their methods are verv
simple. and are unfortunately too often at
tended with success. A "bunco steerer'
must, however, bring some brains into his
nefarious calling, and it is sometimes
wonderful to see what keen perception and
persuasive faculties, which, if honestly APP
piled, would win distinction for their
possessor, are ;rought into play by the
'bunco sharpers,"
1t takes a little ring of confederates to
carry on this game successfully. There is
first the "spotter," who scents out, as it
were, the game, and then quickly apprises
the '.beaters," who, if they succeed in
hooking their man, pilot him into the
hands of the lottery man and his cOnfeder-
ates. who ''play the greeny'' for all he is
worth, and then instantly vanish to meet
again at some pre- -arranged trysting- place,
where the ''swag" is honorably q 'divied
up" " sszss &
The reader is familiar with the oft-reci-
ted details Of the "bunco' mans method:
how the victim is accostej by a stranger
in mistake and his name and address are
secured, and then, armed with this valua-
BILE information, some young friend whom
he has forgotten addresses him by his name
and with an insinuating manner, of which
the ''bunco steerer" is complete master,
wiles him into saloon or lottery shop,
whore the coup de- grace is given, and, a
sadder. wiser and poorer man laments over
his misadventare.

not give hissreaf name, has furnished US
